Google is a significant contributor to ffmpeg by way of VP9/AV1/AV2. It's not like it's a gaping maw of open-source abuse, the company generally provides real value to the OSS ecosystem at an even lower level than ffmpe

I mean, who carries the debt is an accounting issue. The point I'm making is that it is actually very reasonable for a medical degree to cost $300k and it would be worth it to society even if it were several times higher.

There is no such thing as higher wages without a corresponding increase in price or decrease in profits. Amazon could handle a delivery drivers' union - but on the other end you have groups like the ILWU who are single handedly respon

The Tenth Amendment was not inserted in the Bill of Rights to support your claim. States have limited sovereignity but what they have is required for a federal Republic like ours to work.

On the contrary - a doctor over their lifetime is an immensely valuable asset to society. They prevent people from dying or being permanently injured - getting an extra year of functionality out of someone's body easily results in tens

I've had plenty of friends I've only known through the internet and a chat room. It's not the same as being in-person - I don't see a way to reliably turn out healthy adults unless kids talk to each other.

Asociality is not the same thing as social harmony. It's not better for children if their shithead peers are replaced with smartphones. The unfortunate truth is that cliquey behavior and bullying are some of things that children have

The goal is not to protect the people on motorcycles, who (if we're being brutally honest) forfeited most expectations of safety as soon as they got on their bikes. The goal is to protect the regular cyclists and pedestrians who they c

The law either needs to make it legal or properly be applied to everyone. The worst situation is when an unenforceable law which does not have the teeth for a situation is on the books - it's the same as it being unregulated, but now

No, electric motorcycles should not be on sidewalks - but regular bikes can be.

The morality that Christianity pushes is not necessarily what's best for society, or even better than what we have now.

Yeah, it's not going to be as bad as a 300lb bike and 150lb person with a fuel tank in the back... There are lots of gas powered motorcycles in the bike lanes where I live. Not legal, but nobody enforces it.

They are not allowed, but still commonly owned and used. The law needs to catch up. There are clearly good reasons for people to want extremely powerful e-bikes and they should be allowed to. They can't be treated like bicycles becaus

So, hypothetically, how many people do you think call themselves good Christians and then turn around a say that homosexuality sends people to hell? What does the Bible have to say about abortion, really? You say Christian social shame, tho

Yeah, it's amazing how many people are so eager to ignore things like "probable cause" and "protection from unreasonable search and seizure." ICE is 100% going around with the fucking skin color card from family guy
