In general, people correctly evaluate risk. The only situations that are completely modeled with a naive expected value are ones that are too simple to occur in real life. That's why things like the St Petersburg lottery are considered

No, you just feel abandoned in general, and attribute it to politics because human brains are prone to seeing patterns and causation even where none exist. Get a dog. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Don't stay cooped up reading online new

If the local vendors get hurt by this, it means they were providing an inferior service, and we're better off replacing them with Amazon.

Your comment doesn't imply that they will stop either. Advocating for change doesn't mean you'll get any.

All these comments about taxes are really making me regret creating that Irish shell corporation.

All these comments about donating to the EFF. Any way I can donate money to the NSA to balance things out a bit?

Was anyone claiming that she remains even remotely sane?

I know lots of people who love Game of Thrones but it's a bit silly to think that there's a deliberate attempt to normalize incest or feudalism. It's just a TV show people happen to live.

There's a very simple middle ground of only restricting access to unlawful materials for the users of the jurisdictions where that material is illegal. That's what github did, and that's what twitter did. The service as a who
