Have you considered that most people really do not give a shit? I would much rather drive a "deathtrap" that doesn't break in 5 years than a "safe eco friendly :)" car that charges me 12 grand a year to accelerate.

Not to mention a lot of people don't have and do not wish to have a phone number. Yes, they exist - and while I'm not one of them and do not plan to be one of them, designing systems such that you require monthly subscriptions is

You know, I'm really starting to hate how 2FA, and phone numbers in general, have been hijacked into being an ID that companies just assume you have. A lot of the people who would be extremely opposed from "give us your driver&#x2

Will you ever allow for the results of sports to be traded? Why stop at large political events?

It baffles me that a lot of this website is positive of drug legalization, but gambling is suddenly completely morally awful and the government should not allow anyone to do it because they know what's good for you.

I have tried to get people to use Manifold, but with no actual chance of a payout most people don't see any reason to use it. And most people don't really like the mental thought of "gambling with charity money".

How do you think it being a "de facto ethnostate" changes things? Please be specific.

The airspace around area 51 is restricted airspace.

You cannot just fly drones over airspace you are not allowed to, take pictures of a classified base, and expect nothing to ever happen. This isn't a free speech issue like many are making it out to be in this comment section. The pictu

SBF is monumentally stupid for sending these messages. Straight up admitting that any "ethics" was for reputation only. And not only that, but saying that the mistake was not doubling down again.

And this is why you never, without any exception, make any sort of statement to police. It does not matter how friendly they appear, a police officer will NEVER be asking you questions for your own good. It's unfortunate we have a po

This website looks sketchy as all hell. Especially with the incredibly outlandish claims, amateur website design, and... a Bryan Cranston meme as part of your sales pitch?

I'm curious as to what the "failure state" of a Montessori education is. There's a lot to support that good Montessori teachers are better than good "traditional" schoolteachers, but what about the bad teachers

Responding to a post saying children are naturally smart and gifted with "Well what about the disabled children?" isn't helpful to anybody, and purposefully misses the point of what they are saying.

I think it's crazy that we spend time thinking about minor bs like this instead of spending that effort trying to solve actual problems. This type of stuff is great for people who want to feel like they have made a positive change wit
