As I know the story, claims about wolf were made by just the boy, not by scores of people and subsequently dismissed because the boy was also one who claimed it. I'm starting to question if you argue in good faith.

Friend (tenured economics professor) once only half-jokingly told me, that having children who will take care of you when you are old is the most dependable retirement scheme.

Putting aside the getting paid part, it reminds me of cult classic novel "The Dice man", which I read about here few years ago, except instead of chance, people choose.

>I just know I don't get an ROI on investing in dating. Nothing wrong with that, but that means it's voluntary. And the latter part means that it isn't even celibate.

I'm not sure if this isn't a bit too paranoid approach. Using single sign on is imho fine as long as you use that account only for single sign ons. At least I haven't ever heard of anyone banned for this. Sure, it isn't

Oh, we should have them. But despite all their education (which includes ethics) and professional associations, your revered "professionals" aren't any better than the "wage labourers".

There were always political messages, but difference is that in the past emphasis was on story with little political message sprinkled on top. Nowadays story is just a vehicle for the politics.

Trial-by-peers is not the problem, problem is prosecutorial, police and expert misconduct. Vast majority of wrongful convictions are caused by withholding(or even falsifying) evidence, police forcing out confession from innocent or experts

Discourse supports commenting (not only) by email, but that's about it. I don't think there is anything like that suitable for static blog.

I'm more annoyed by Mozilla hiding functions used mainly by powerusers so they can be accessed only using about:config (for instance relatively recently layout.css.text-decoration-skip-ink.enabled) and then completely scrapping the fun

What I like about goodreads is that it has reviews (not ratings, I noticed that those are becoming gamed a lot), description, quickly identifiable genre of book (shelves) and link to other books by the author. That's about it. I person
