The issue isn't you lose to Magnus Carlsen. The issue is that when you play chess, all you can play against are wanna-be grandmasters who drive the skill floor up to the point where you need to make a heroic effort just to be mediocre.

Unionization is done for collective bargaining in worker's best interest; the problem is when it is done to organize strikes to force the employer to enact social or political policies. This may remove the idea of collective bargaining

Yeah, the main poster doesn't get that the end result of veganism is the relegation of food species to very expensive, very impractical pets that many people won't see outside of youtube or in protected areas.

effort has to be matched with reward, and chess takes a lot of effort to get good at beyond a certain level. It's actually a big issue with many things, the "middle" of artists, people who do sports, music, and more is hollow

Actually I'd argue modern superhero culture is a rebuttal to the kind of ponderous dreck Moore and the rest of the British invasion put out. A reaction against the constant need to politicize and comment on a genre as opposed to simply

The biggest argument against UBI is that the government can require conditions with it, and you cannot easily find a new government. If you think this is unrealistic, look at selective service. You have to register or you can be barred from

The problem is the doctors can't lift the curse. At best, they can only treat it, and sometimes you treat it by bargaining other aspects of your life for it (the side effects medicine and treatment may give.) There are no "shortco

I don't know if this would work because it just shifts the education down to pre-18. This drastically benefits the wealthy, who can afford expensive tutoring and natalist services that others can't match. It's hard enough as

Signaling means "how a good or service gives, shows, or enhances the value of the person who has it." What an elite college degree does is signal the person is in the elite knowledge class. It's a seal of approval. If you gra

Why would anyone buy a car where they can be held liable for the software defects of the manufacturer? The driver has no control over the software and cannot compensate for it. You're blaming them for putting the thing on the road at

trust fund kids with their MFAs playing at being bohemians, more likely. These days a lot of people who would have been bohemians are drawing porn of cartoon characters on Patreon to pay the bills. Art is a rich man's game now.

Because the employer deserves to know so they can weigh the risk adequately. It's up to them whether or not they want to bet on Convict A not committing another crime. And it a decent risk.

its precisely because of all those glowing reports i distrust the hell out of them. We have a long history and data on how drugs in general can treat problems, but often come with side effects and other issues when they work, often serious.

This is the same fundamental dishonesty that pushed for marijuana legalization: the idea that there are "medicinal uses" and the drug should be legalized based on those, pushed by advocates of casual use. Medical use as a trojan h

No, costco does well because warehouse clubs target B2B markets as well as consumers. I used to work at a warehouse club, and generally people would come in to stock food banks, buy for restaurants, supply their vending machine routes and

I don't think the people replying to you understand what a suburb or small town or city is like. I feel sometimes I should make a video of my home town (pop 40,000) to show people here why a lot of things like bicycling to work would a

I feel more like electric scooters or motorcycles would be a better bet. 40 mph+ cruising speed would be a lot better, and enable them to use the main lanes instead of needing dedicated bike paths or using hazardous shoulders.

I'm not sure. I only think this works if the local economy declines, to where enough people don't want the houses any more and the price naturally reduces. I can fully see Seattle simply charging the same or more rents as housing

They have this because people don't trust their kids to walk home or be unsupervised any more, not because of individualistic thinking. And to be blunt, they are not entirely wrong; a dirty little secret of the old days is how much bul

My big thing was how can you ride a bike when the same bike lane is used for passengers on the tram. So the tram comes, stops, and passengers disembark-you cannot ride at speed then or it would be superhumanly easy to run someone down.

I don't get how that downtown even works. Do the Swiss not use trucks to deliver goods? That car lane is too narrow for anything bigger than a passenger car. There's no passing lane, so what happens if an ambulance or fire truck n
