And if I say 'slavery is wrong' - that's an opinion. I'm going to go ahead and call someone reasonable when they pen an anti-slavery piece. You disagree with me about the viewpoint being reasonable - sure. I think you ar

You are simply changing your argument every time to avoid having to answer why you are defending the site which has clearly misleading articles. If you don't think teaching children about feminism is wrong, and you don't think all

Then how can you possibly defend that site, which is clearly misrepresenting a feminist with a reasonable viewpoint?

Ah yes, the good old "studies can be wrong" and moving the goal-posts to require impossible to perform studies. It's not possible to show something like sexism universally because what is the indicator everyone does you test?

I think the issue right now is that SteamOS is still not stable and usable enough for the average user, and anyone who is a power user probably doesn't want to run SteamOS, when they can just run Steam on Linux on whatever distro they

Your post is essentially a giant attempt to redefine things until you are right. Anything good feminism does isn't really feminism. Anything bad anyone does is. Talking about feminism is therefore bad because it's bad. Not to ment

> I disagree with you characterisation "worrying about sexism and teaching their child about it". There's nothing wrong with that. That's not all that's going on here. Yes, it is. That was the point of the articl

You begin by implying that discrimination and disadvantage for women is equivalent to men. That's just not true, quite clearly. There are a ton of studies showing material differences and known social issues that affect women more than

What is misleading is the framing of this being purely about the quality of the story and 'fake news', when in reality it's cherry picking this article to try and decry feminism. > Now here's the thing - the feminist

Not to mention the classic for any platform: excellent first party games to get it into people's homes in the first place.

I never said that the BBC was right with what they posted - clearly it has issues. My issue is that they examine this one case in isolation in a way that is clearly meant to be misleading. I am not 'inventing an enemy' - please go

Sure, something the site this was posted on is extremely guilty of as well (see the article I linked at the bottom of my post). Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that the BBC were right in this case, but the difference between th

Sure - if other options are rejected in favour of doing one thing (truly one thing - using one device isn't necessarily one thing, although clearly there are limits to the range of activities on a single device, but worth noting), then

This seems like a classic 'counter SJW' article - i.e: an angry counter at the supposed 'feminist oppressors'. The BBC overhyped a bit of research - this happens constantly with research. They take a study, misrepresen

Kids are not addicted in most cases, they are exploring. They don't know what options there are, or how far these things go, they just want to try it. If you present a child with lots of options, they won't stay with one all the t

Backwards compatibility can tie you to things that you need to get rid of though. At some point you have to decide to drop support for stuff and move on, otherwise something else that has will come in and eat your lunch.

They didn't, but by doing so they ensured much better policies for that period. It's clear based on what the government is doing now that the liberal democrats firmly kept them in check and gave us a few years of much better gover

Not really - opposing this is natural for the liberal democrats who have consistently been the biggest party consistently pushing for the right to personal privacy. Everyone trashes them for supposedly just bandwagoning on student loans and

This is one of those things that makes you uncomfortable, because you always wonder what would happen if you were one of those people who rejected that patch. Unconscious bias is a real thing, and we all know that, and most of us try to ens

Except you could offer that price from the beginning, but you want to try and raise the value the viewer thinks the product has before hitting them with the real price. That's scummy at best, and would instantly make me never do busine

I mean, given that vast majority of marketing I experience annoys and offputs me, it's hardly surprising there is a distaste. This article popped up a full-screen covering banner. Kind of makes the point. That kind of marketing activel

I mean, those sites are insecure. Google has a responsibility to the user of the browser, not the site owner. If you want people to trust your site, you have to provide them the security to do so.

If you are a power user, setting things up yourself has real advantage. When something goes wrong, I set it up, so I know where it is and how to work with it. Anything that 'just works' has some magic behind the scenes, and that c
