Fair point. Job loss is non-trivial, albeit nowhere near as bad as rape or murder.

God forbid a monolithic, trillion dollar corporation have an employee saying things they don't like.

Arguing that unproven methods of fighting sexism/racism aren't as effective as everyone claims they are and that said methods are potentially harmful isn't the same as being sexist/racist. I feel like the author is attem

Shhh, don't tell everyone that "privilege" is a double-edged sword.

This will be an unpopular opinion here but it's true in my experience.

The point is that will literally always be a confounding variable.

How would we ever know if men actually were worse than women at math? There will always be a sufficient number of confounding variables as to have plausible deniability, not that it really matters. I think the line for when we're grasp

At the risk of sounding sexist, I will say that conflating race and sex as being roughly the same level of difference is a little bit intellectually dishonest. I'm not going to sit here and argue about what those differences are, but s

True, but someone who can interpret real feedback quickly will calibrate a hell of a lot faster.

It's weed killer. Literally poison. Can we just curb our faith in science just a little bit and use some common sense. It's incredibly likely that ingesting poison is bad for you. Let's leave open the possibility that it isn&

I've had the same experience. Both codeine and vicodin.

No, Litecoin already exists.

Yes, they basically keep it, though it may turn out like ETC and eventually allow withdrawals.

Care to elaborate?

Turns out modernity is an extremely unhealthy environment for humans, especially men. Despite the narratives being thrown at you, we live in an incredibly "feminized" society where social stigma/violence/shaming are more

Yeah, at the end of the day this is very unlikely to change unless people start to think about the ethical implications of what they are doing and whether or not they are really bringing any value to people.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How is it that so many people work so hard and are still struggling to pay rent? This is definitely one of the factors I have come to. While I certainly wouldn't make the same arguments

I hate advertising, but I could see an argument for it not being zero sum if you believe that it is truly useful in disseminating information that people otherwise wouldn't get and promoting education of the consumer. Our modern advert

Exactly, be miserable so the next generation can do it too! People raise children in total poverty all the time dude, I'm sure you're going to be fine.

Sure, once there are fewer low hanging fruit improvements to be made on existing currencies, something will eventually reach sufficient network effect that it will be very very difficult to usurp

Open a damn window. I'm sure in some places AC is necessary, but way too often I hear/see people running it when there is absolutely no reason other than they are even mildly uncomfortable. Seriously, this problem isn't going

Are you seeing this on any non-American sites?

Why is that a bad law? Not everyone wants to live in a concrete jungle. Nature is good for your health.

There are spectrums of how much "business" I do with a coworker. If it's another person that works on the same floor or in the same building as me but whom I don't work with directly, then I don't really see any goo

Nobody reasonable is going to misinterpret a request for coffee as sexual harassment unless you are socially inept. "Hey, do you want to get coffee sometime?" "Oh, no thanks" "Ok, cool. No problem" Proceed to m
