Your response in no way explains why you choose only NATO expansion as a cause (and thus pushing the blame on the west) but ignore Russia's many comments that they are protecting ethnic Russian speakers (which does not make NATO the on

I remember seeing somewhere that societal empathy didn't strongly exist as a cultural trait until people started reading stories where they put themselves in other people's shoes. I guess communal storytelling wasn't enough t

You make a reasoned argument why Russia might want to invade Ukraine while ignoring Russia's actual actions. Russia keeps changing it's stated 'reasons', with Russian's themselves saying the silent part you ignore o

I often post in Youtube Ukraine videos trying to correct pro Russia propaganda. Often in a thread, half the other person and half of my posts are censored. I'm also not notified, so my posts show up when I am logged in, but not if I am

I constantly get ads on Youtube making illegal earning statements for some randos get rich online scheme, that I report, and am then served again a week later. So they are knowingly making money on illegal predatory ads. Just saying.

My Prime lapses this month. If I can't trust a business, I can't trust it. I'm not wading through figuring out how to create my own manual filters to hopefully get what I wanted/ordered. I said before, in what dystopia i

People don't like high density because it sucks. I want a yard, not a tragedy of the commons communal space. I want to be able to remodel without having to get a commities approval. I want to have lavender flowers in my garden because

You mean the problems are with people who bought their homes because of XYZ, which you now want to change out from under them, even though a PROMISE was made to those people by the Government in the form of the zoning rules in place. But ru

Ummm, while not 'Silicon Valley' the Santa Cruz tech scene from the 70s until the early 2000s very much looked like this. Maybe not the big guys, but the hundreds of 10-150 people shops trying to make a more technological world fo

Former software developer now ex-con. I would take this job for $50000. Also acceptable, $30000. Sad reality, I worked way way worse for way less than either of those two dream salary ranges.

As someone who lives in a county with National Forests, this is a huge issue. Originally the deal was the Feds could have national forests, but make up for missing property tax/economic activity with logging grants, mineral right grant

Yes, people who have the property value go up around them should be kicked out of their homes. Goodbye old people and minorities who live in affordable neighborhoods that become gentrified. Kick them out on the street for failing to plan fo

It may be what property taxes are designed to do but the social agreement that allows them is that taxes are designed to raise funds, not force people out of their homes. The Romans tried this. They ended up with their citizen farmers walki

I think it's more having the mindset to think externally to yourself and put yourself into users 'usecases', not personal self interest.

Have you used Amazon lately? They not only don't care, they push garbage that is obviously fake in their advertised/recommend blocks. Go search for an SD card on Amazon, and they will recommend a 5000 terabyte SD card that costs $

I disagree with your random choice of causes. I would argue it's that there are more people now. While before X number of people were so into the limited number of Y, you are now competing for Y with 2X people, it Y is more valuable to

While Disney is amazing, the hotels (15 years age at least) were awful, yet totally worth it. The kids visiting with characters at breakfast and the characters remembering their names when they saw them in the park later you would not think

So you propose turning every mountain valley into an environmentally destructive storage battery? If we are willing to do that, why not just invest more in hydro power, since one of the big limits is the public's low tolerance for the

They're piloting a tablet program in the Feds. The tablet is free. They even offer free books. Nice, right? What they don't advertise is that the system also charges something like a dollar a minute to 'use'. Wonder what
