I’m thrilled to have learned about this. Good, public allergy info is a godsend. Love considering it’s possibilities for diet and cooking apps too.

Well, all I can is it's good to be old enough and financially secure enough to happily give them a "fuck you" and walk out myself.

Missing point is that FB isn’t on-balance adding value to people’s lives. This is their downfall.

When Sourceforge was top-dog and very useful to the open source community, it was a time when individuals weren’t willing to pay for things online at all, much less for lucrative monthly subscriptions.

This doesn’t produce a good outcome because violent, indefensible bad actors shout down others and each one drives away 100 reasonable people. Yours is naive idea, though I recognize you are advocating for the good of all.

What exactly do you find interesting in that excerpt?

Research or merely reading?

It feels trite to think it, but I do wonder every time someone asks about lack of meaning and purpose; have you read classics, philosophy, and history? I don’t think they can solve these problems for people, but a general interest and surve

If I overlay that spending graph with quality of life during the same timespan, I might conclude government spending is a miracle. A greater success within 200 years can hardly be imagined.

This is the most damning observation of Silicon Valley. They’ve killed art. Social media is notably lacking original visual and musical arts, and it’s because they’ve happily focused on selling butts and boobs using copyright and DMCA as co

This makes me wonder who the Mr. Cirri-types in other states. Are there fewer in the social media age? Can we out them?

The implication being based on those chromosomes, there is one way to behave; you must race with those of like-chromosomes. I think that's entirely up for debate, and for good reason. Further, there may be entirely new ways to organize

#2 is so true. I think it also is grounding; my purpose is clear and clear to others. I don’t have to question my reason for being at all.

This is so great. 10 years ago this sort of topic came up frequently here, but there have been fewer as the crowd has grown.

They really are spoiling it. Haven’t read the article yet, but that video from the other day where the maker who did the diy X-ray machine quit YouTube is really making me think about what’s going on.

As an adolescent around 1990, I burst my spleen in the final minutes of a school ski trip. Nearly bled to death as the school staff transported me home and left me in my living room to be found later by my parents nearly unconscious. Anyway

Members of the dominant group don’t realize they’re unjustly controlling minorities.

Age is literally just a fact AND people try to identify as different ages all the time, but the race question is interesting. It seems to me the ultimate goal should be to greatly minimize the differences between sexes and races (drop the t
