Is it a lack of access or a lack of faith in "big pharma" and the bureaucratic medical industry? If a large part of the motivation is a distrust institutionalized medicine, then trying to use this as justification for government

"Science communication" is a label adopted by so many shills chasing ad revenue (and thus controlled by elite through algorithmic censorship) or outright direct paid shills by corrupted institutions (such as the WHO). The goal th

Odd that suffering should be equated with evil. It seems an almost universal aspect of so many secular philosophies to elevate reduction of suffering over achievement or joy. Then again, maybe this is just a left leaning political view, w

There are so many benefits for a front end application (written in javascript) to just assume it will be the backend that does type validation. A new field column added to a table? Cool, update the api layer, but the javascript just gets

Ummm why didn't my two aces qualify for jacks or better? Also if I changed enough settings (moving the bet up and down) then the game glitched out on the first deal.

Does Steam force game exclusivity for their platform? No. Do they put up barriers to entry to keep small devs / publishers out unless they pay to play? No. Do they force you to repurchase your games if you move to new hardware? No.

This is signaling. Macron can't blame "the migrants" because that's not socially acceptable (without giving credit to his political rivals), but most of them are disgruntled younger (compared to native Frenchmen) men.

Because if you have a private company that is tightly controlled and essentially acts as a projection of your state, while pretending to be independent of it, you can trick some people into thinking it's a free market. This applies we

Coming from "the conversation" I can't really take this too seriously. It would be like Ann Coulter claiming that the studies she's cherry picked show that most women oppose legal abortion.

I ask where you get your "facts" from. Humility is important for sure (or perhaps taking pride in becoming right rather than being right), but it is pointless if you have no solid footing for epistomology. A "humble" a

Calling CEOs sociopaths is like your ex a narcissist. It's trendy, and might even be true in some cases, but I gotta think there's some projection going on here.

If I can watch the lectures for free and get help from a chatbot... why pay for the piece of paper again? Oh right, social signaling. The real struggle of the education system: they need to innovate, but any such innovation will show just

Much like [decent but overrated entertainment], the issue isn't with travel itself. It's that the vast majority of people who are "into travel" are insufferable.

There's a problem. Don't every ask why though. The only acceptable solution is to throw more money to institutional authorities claiming to represent the best interest of children. Looking any deeper or suggesting any other sol

Are they equivalent though? If all companies that are "neutral" eventually become corrupted by subversive influence, then the only immunization is to be actively opposed to it. Which "side" as aggressively pushing thei

Used to be family, then people became estranged from their parents and many didn't have kids. Then it was romance and marriage, but fewer people can even find those, let alone keep them into their old age. Friendship is the next in t

Local police forces can be reformed and replaced outright as needed when they become corrupt. There really is a "too big to fail" effect where any institution that is no longer allowed to fail will invariably become about maintai

Ah yes, with the title "Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better." If anything the "You'll own nothing and be happy" is LESS distopian than the essay. I mean, unless you don&
