My wife is the daughter of Filipino immigrants, so obviously my kids are mixed race and we don't fit the profile of a "white" family, but my take from your comment is that you spend way too much time thinking about tribal ide

You have been downvoted for this but you are entirely correct. The differentiation in terminology is entirely a fiction created by marketing teams for these kinds of tools. I'm saying this is someone that sees the benefit in this speci

If there was any doubt this was purely political, that quote erases it. The FCC rural broadband program is an infamous boondoggle of vast overspending on bad services from third rate providers. It's insane that they even mentioned Star

Agreed. The headline misrepresents the lawsuit.

Editorialized, deceptive headline. The lawsuit clearly states they believe MM is maliciously trying to get advertisers to abandon platform with deceptive practices. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24172809-x-v-m

I don't get the dude, at all. He's weird, and impulsive. And makes mistakes that I would never make, and yet he leads teams that build things that other teams led by other brilliant people failed to build before. I will never un

It's interesting that people who don't use the site at all have such strong opinions on it. I have an account from 2008. I use it daily. Because I don't follow bigots and Nazis, and don't interact with their content, I

I read the book years ago. (I literally lost a bet.) At first, I really found the characters to be hollow caricatures, and hated every minute reading it. As the book went on, it grew on me. It's not about "rich beautiful people&

No. Across the board, illegal immigrants are LESS likely to commit crimes. The exception are certain isolated crimes (like drunk driving) where the US has an aggressive cultural and legal framework of enforcement and social coercion/e

Correct. I live outside of Boulder, and the folks getting on buses to Denver are doing so voluntarily with full knowledge. There is this very very weird (and almost bigoted) infantilization of these economic migrants. To endure the journey

It's not false, and it's not "full-on misinformation". You provide zero sources to refute this claim, and claim that you "live there", as if that makes a single difference with the statistics or data. Sweden i
