Digital cameras replacing film has also ruined it. The dynamic range and depth of images that comes from film blows all digital images away...same for photography. Much of the romance and beauty seen in old pictures and films is due to this

Let's deal with the immediate problem of opiates, meth and other hard drugs, the addiction of which is ravaging cities where drug users are a blight on society with their tent cities, needles, feces, crime, vandalism, assaults, robberi

Hanging drug dealers isn't worse than the harm they cause to the community, and many individual lives. >Purdue Pharma Regulation against them and restrictions on opiates has helped to decrease that form of opiate use. Obviously, Pur

The harm we are reducing is decreasing the amount of drug users, and the attendant crime and degradation that comes with them, within the environment that non-drug users have to live in. We'd be reducing the harm to them and in a sub

Well, yes I am. But is that relevant to the question at hand: if the punishments were more severe, would they decrease drug selling/use? How about if we banned Narcan, do you think that would affect the total number of opiate addicts

What should be the top hit to the query "new car"? What was the desired goal? It's a good chance someone wanting to find a "car selling" website might use that phrase, no?

>Prohibition is ineffective and often does more harm than good I don't believe this is true, though it is often parroted as so. Effectiveness of prohibition is determined in large part on severity of punishments. It is imperfect, an

There is a spectrum, can we agree on that? We are programmers yes? Is a monolith better or is mass distribution better? Depends yes? In business and operations do economies of scale exist? Or is it always better to be separate individual gr

Politically and culturally they are though, which matters in the context of long term migration patterns and political fallout. I'm not making a moral judgement of those that cannot reproduce despite their desire to, and I have full he

Certainly "diverse" was present by OP as opposed to something yes? And since we agree on what actually matters (the other terms in this list) what is exclusive to diverse communities do you think?

It is debatable whether rural communities provide less opportunity for "socialization" compared to the atomization and isolation that comes from living in a big city, perhaps around people you have no long term ties or roots with.

"Childless" cohorts are irrelevant if you mean to imply these people intend to remain childless. They will not have descendants nor create lasting communities. They are a dead end. The future is made by those that procreate. What

I think it is biological, and also that "culture" is generally an expression of biology also. Why wouldn't biological factors influence the collective expression of human nature? Culture doesn't exist in a vacuum outside

I'm not obese, I lift weights, I'm under 50 and I get lots of vitamin D? You know, common sense and that which correlates with the data of covid risk. If you are unhealthy or fat I can see hoping the vaccine will save you from you

The vaccines don't prevent people from getting covid, so why accumulate risks? In any case, common sense says the natural coronavirus would be handled by your body in predictable ways versus the new mRNA engineered substance. Are you t

It's pointless. If you're young covid is not a big deal. If you're giving the vaccine and boosters to children, you should be arrested for child abuse and need to get your brain examined. Look at the data...CDC director admit

This is a very weak, modern, hyper-fearful mentality that is not consistent with reality. You're wishing you lived in a utopia, but you don't. You live in the real world. The vaccine cannot prevent infection from the current strai

What are the long term effects of multiple rounds of boosters? You have no idea. The mechanism by which mRNA vaccines work is different than standard vaccines. What are the unintended consequences? You have no idea. What is the risk if of C

It might be unusual if these Taiwanese 12-hour shifts don't actually come with 3 days off, and are just in addition to "regular" hours, 5-day work week.

12 hour days. Sounds pretty dystopian. Guess there's a reason Taiwan has the lowest birthrate in the world. Working themselves into oblivion.
