Datapoint of one here, but I recently visited a friend in Willamette Valley, and their area had fiber. Is that not an option for most people in your hood?

> Social media platforms can exist to serve the needs of the people, or they can exist to be self-serving Why do you think these are the only two possibilities? Why can’t a social media company exist to serve the needs of only some peopl

> When, as a reporter for a major paper, do you call a CEO a crook? That's a tough call. No, it’s not. The answer is never — unless that person has been charged with and convicted of a crime. To do otherwise would expose the rep

I don’t get how so many smart people here don’t understand this. It is not the job of the media to accuse people of having committed crimes, and it is dangerous for most people to do so. Defamation is a real thing. Publicly accuse someone o

I think you misunderstand what journalists do. Journalists are not supposed to be experts in the subjects they cover. They are not telling you the story based on their personal knowledge or beliefs — those are opinion pieces. Journalists ar

Same here with the Apple Watch. After a couple of months of thinking that the rings were ridiculous, I found myself taking intentional steps to close them. Last night, even though I should have been sleeping, I went for a brisk walk just be

Bingo. I am a full-time YouTuber. I hate this reality. Most people don’t understand the degree to which advertiser preferences dictate what they see on YouTube. Creators are incentivized to only publish content that meets YouTube’s “adverti

I don’t know of any states that have made it near impossible to prosecute shoplifters. What are you referring to?

I don't think it was your intention, but your language is unnecessarily inflammatory. People who don't share your opinion are allowed to be here. Even if there are more of those people than you'd like.
