I'm surprised this even legally flies. Seems like the legal equivalent of creating a shell company.

Ok but then contractors have the freedom to work whatever hours they want, not show up to the office, and subcontract out their work - right? If so that might be more appealing than being an employee

Yes but coercion implies a threat. If the guy was in another country, it's hard for me to imagine how she became a "digital sex slave" (how the article refers it) instead of just blocking the guy. Naturally I'd imagine t

Asking for an explanation as to which part made it "coercion" means I "need a playbook for the sexual exploitation of children?" Wtf kind of leap of logic is that? The article didn't provide any explanation as to ho

Punishing minors for "distributing child pornography" over content of themselves sent in private is completely outrageous. Had you not linked those sources there's no way I'd believe our justice system would be so absurd

Well that's the question I'm asking, and you didn't answer the question > coerce - persuade (an unwilling person) to do something by using force or threats. What was the threat? Why did she oblige? Why didn't she just

It's horrible that this happened and obviously I'm glad the pedophile is in jail, but how exactly was she "coerced"? And how is any of this Omegle's fault?

Anybody can pick a few random quotes out of context and dispute them. Keep in mind I'm not actually defending Peterson's views (I agree with some, disagree with others), I'm defending his status as a public intellectual. My e

You realize Peterson was famous well before that 18 month drug addiction, correct?

Amazing, you've managed to meaningfully discredit thousands of hours of content and a couple books in a couple flippant sentences /s

He was addicted for 18 months, but he was famous well before this. In any case none of this has any relevance to his status as a public intellectual.

Even if you disagree with him Jordan Peterson is absolutely a public intellectual. Anyone who has been so publicly outspoken with such an enormous following and made a dent in the universe is absolutely a public intellectual. Just because y

If you were publicly outspoken on all of your views across all facets of life (eg. controversial topics, personal topics like relationships) with thousands of hours of content online, there would be plenty of people who strongly disagree wi

by JSavageOne 3y ago
Nothing you just said disputes any of what Peterson has said. The fact that you mention him being a "drug addict" (he was briefly addicted to anti-depressants after his wife got cancer) and then use words like "whining"

Yes Google Cloud Run is my go-to for all my side projects, and AWS doesn't have anything equivalent. Never saw any reason to use AWS for that reason as Google has everything else I'd need. And if I just want a cheap VPS, would pre

As I load this article on mobile a video pops up taking up half my screen with no obvious way to get rid of it, how ironic.

I'm a huge fan of walkable cities (generally the norm outside the U.S) but the article doesn't actually any good pictures of the neighborhood, and the few pictures look terrible.

Someone not understanding what they're buying when the information is all publicly available doesn't make it a scam. Again, a scam implies someone being "misled". If you buy some ecstasy and its laced with fentanyl, you

The future is layer 2s. Other blockchains that advertise smaller fees and faster transaction times all sacrifice on decentralization and/or security, and would not retain those advantages if their usage was at the same scale as ethereu

Bitcoin uses about 100x more energy than ethereum, has 5x less throughput, and doesn't natively support smart contracts. There's definitely also room for ethereum.

Much much easier to ban a physical item like gold than crypto. Trying to ban crypto is like trying to ban p2p file sharing, except with much more serious implications as it would also kill a country's presence and innovation in the ind
