>Human beings flourish when they embrace reality. The reality of biology is that sex is both binary and immutable. When we are forced to conform to an ideology that tells us that it is possible to be born in the wrong body, or that someo

I feel like this is an important parable for my fellow lefties. I often get frustrated when people refuse to acknowledge that some people are arseholes. And we cannot run programs without arsehole filter...

I don't think it "assumes" that. I think that's how reality works isn't it? If you hadn't turned on the extra tap compared to your neighbour, you'd have been fine. So the extra tap is the problem. Saying &

I've heard plenty of people say this. But I don't think it's true. The effects of covid and the Ukraine war are what you see in western Europe. So the difference between that and where the UK is (less growth, more inflation e

I come in 5 days a week, because I choose to. It happens to suit my lifestyle, responsibilities and psychology. I wonder when I will be getting my bonus since I am clearly more productive (or whatever) than others? I hear very little on thi

I went to several on my pre-covid Japan trip. 1 was in a city and big and quiet plastic. 1 small suburban on that was very traditional and one near Fuji was about 50% outdoors. All were really nice. I really wish we had something like this

A cold hard look at US (and UK) policy to Iran leads to the conclusion that we have worked very hard to create an enemy where one need not actually exist...

The sound is significantly worse. Meet struggles to work out who is talking and who is just in a normal background noise place. So it keeps cutting from the actual speaker to someone who's desk neighbour is chatting. Ever been in a dem

It's difficult because I don't like the CCP. But I am gay and I'm tired of weird religious groups pushing their way into politics (here in the UK). And fake news like I've seen from these guys is another blight. It'

Yeah, and I don't trust those much. But I also think Musk or Bezos are similar, and just self interested but rational. That's not true of niche religious groups. And those are established orgs that have come under control, not org

Thanks, that makes sense.

I mean, far right Vs just right seems like splitting hairs to me. I find it much more worrying it's a hidden religious organization with (maybe justified) political purposes that controls it...

Isn't the epoch times a far right paper funded by the Falun Gong religious group?

No one is mocking anyone. And they have not been pressured, they've been bribed. If you're paid fair and square to do something. If you're paid to do something, you should do it. Not cry that the price you agreed is not enou

People like the solution, so they pretend it will fix big problems. You see the same with a bunch of things from tax cuts to term limits...

I have: people bid way under and don't bother doing their research. Then when they win the "contract" start renegotiating. "We will build a fab if you give us 1bnUSD and 50 work permits" rapidly becomes we might bui

I think that debate has already been had actually: TSMC said it COULD be done, as long as that got the subsidies they have been given. Now, having agreed a price and been paid, suddenly it's impossible? Then TSMC should refund all the

That's fine, as long as there is literally no one in the whole US with the skill TSMC needs. Literally no one. Which I doubt. Hypotheticals aside, I think TSMC just needs to pay more. What top quality engineer wants to move to Phoenix,

In all those examples, people did not take personal action, they demanded social action. MLK didn't get civil rights passed by just not being racist himself. He did it by demanding legislation. We need to stop pretending we can "i

Leaving aside that there is no such thing as a skill shortage or work ethic concern in a free market... TSMC should have done their research and priced this in. They've taken the subsidy deal, now they need to get on and make it work.

I'd agree with that!

Is that an investment or just getting lucky though? If you randomly picked 1000 cars, 10 years later they would almost all be worth less. The same for paintings. For stocks you'd have made a profit on most of them.

I feel like the term investment needs to be used ONLY with products that have a reasonable expectation of a return. A stock is an investment because the company will likely exist and one day pay a dividend. A beanie baby is not an investmen

Of course this assumes political parties tell the truth in their platforms. Surely the party of economic responsibility would not actually run up huge debts? Or the social party actually favour corporate interests? If chatgpt says so, it mu

I dread the idea that an actual, workable, enforced international plan ever comes to a vote. Because I would have to vote for it. But until then, there is literally no point at all doing anything, as an individual or a company or even a nat

I wonder how many people go vegetarian purely for climate reasons? Or partially and to what degree? And how many also do all the other things (giving up air travel, private vehicles, imported fruit and veg, concrete etc) needed to actually
