I'm trans. Please dont use us as a cover for your arguments, thanks. People who come to the US almost universally accept American values after a generation. And considering large proportions of the US believe LGBT people don't des

There's only that much pent up demand to live in the US because our immigration policies have bottled up decades of immigrants. the borders would have to gradually transition to fully open, sure, but after that transition the borders c

I believe in freedom of movement as an ideal, just as I believe in freedom of speech as an ideal. The UN declaration of human rights also includes freedom of movement as an ideal. No freedom is a state of normalcy, we spent thousands of yea

If you believe that, how do you explain the OP post? The Somali government collapsed, it had no ability to enforce violence. And if currency was solely predicated on violence, why would the warlords bother to loot the central bank for it&#x

Well hyperloop will be more expensive any place maglev is more expensive. If maglev costs $x to build above ground, and $5x to build underground, then hyperloop would cost $10x and $50x, would it not? (disregarding what the actual scaling f

IMO, it is just misogyny. They don't target the equivalent esports and gaming personalities (mostly male) who do the same thing, and it's couched in the language of "thots" instead of, you know, something thats not a der

The article seeks pretty rambling and doesn't have a clear point, but I have friends in the sex-work industry and the closing part is true: like music, people don't want to pay for porn anymore, and it's making it harder and

Think about it -- a vinyl can hold ~22 minutes of music per side, and a DVD-R can hold ~120 minutes of video per side, in a much smaller area.

so your second paragraph is justified by the completely baseless speculation in the first? if you actually had read the pdf I linked you would have seen the multitude of other examples of medical discrimination against queer people in it.
