Yes I'll dispute them: there's no evidence for it. Swatting is not organized on KF. It's illegal, any planning of such an attack would be deleted and the users banned, and if necessary their details would be shared US law enf

these were obviously (stupidly poor taste) jokes, and they were removed as soon as the site admin was made aware. death threats are against the rules of the site. what exactly makes this so urgent that KF has to be blasted off the internet?

No, Japan is a good example of a place where there isn't a housing crisis because you are actually allowed to build things . They don't have strict zoning there! You can mostly build what you want to, by right! >So even if you

No, no, no, we don't need a "new type of town" built around some pre-fab gimmick. Literally you just need to lift zoning restrictions (and related bureaucratic crap like discretionary design review) and legalize building thin

we somehow managed to build houses for thousands of years, so it can't be that hard, can it? the scarcity is entirely artificial.

That's so dull and unambitious. If astronauts are celebrities it implies there aren't many of them, which implies you're not doing many missions. It's manned space travel as an expensive toy for national prestige and por

The first black astronaut went up in 1983, so it's been nearly 40 years since NASA "actively restricted active astronauts to be solely white men".

I come from a quaint society where we hire people based on their abilities and talents, and we don't announce ahead of time what sex and skin colour they're supposed to have beforehand.

Do the traffic lights actually detect bikes? Sometimes the sensors can only detect heavy objects like cars, so on a bike you can just be stuck waiting there an arbitrary amount of time if you want to obey the law.
