It's about a Scott Adams book, so if you can get to it before they flag this comment, you might find it interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God%27s_Debris

I'm starting to see these pundit confessions coming in more and more. (See 1:30 for about 30 seconds for the gist. 11:50 for the fake tears...) The politician playbook is to beg for mercy, move on, and hope for the best. Since a journa

Probably quite a lot. Ny guess is that rents rise since landlords know everyone has an extra cash infusion now. Until it settles out merchants will pick over this until it is eaten up. Was part of sales in gov subsidized market and the gov

You really should at least make an effort to get what the author is telling instead of just reading their words. It's astonishing how narrow minded people can be when the fixate on unrelated things that the author is saying instead of

Stopped at "For decades, the wealthiest Washingtonians have gotten out of paying what they truly owe in state and local taxes." Taxes as punishment for having wealth. Were laws broken? Doubt it, at least not at scale. Leave people

It's not just nerfed on human relationships, it won't help you avoid ad exposure without a warning that many ads are quite good for you and exposure would be a net positive even if you didn't want it. I guess it knows what&#

unAmerican... I'm American. I've always liked this way of describing things that we don't like. It somehow (to me) implies something. Maybe I don't know what that is, but it seems mostly anti-bad. If anyone wants to h

It's not a "talking point." It's my point of view because the preponderance of evidence seems to indicate that the media, as a group, cannot be trusted. It's not a debate. Wake up. Much (most?) of the info going in

You forgot... Future Person 3: "I'm so glad they finally threw off the mental chains and ran the shills out of town on a rail so we could finally see what was really happening."

No matter how much you don't like it, the use of that weapon was neither revenge or murder. I personally don't see the world in terms of revenge and murder, so it's hard for me to understand how such specifically personal beh

For any one likes science history non-fiction, check out Richard Rhodes, The Making of the Atomic Bomb. From idea to aftermath of use. Very interesting work written very compelling style.

Please stop "making sure" when it comes to MY thinking. Also on behalf of everyone who doesn't like being told what or how to think, please stop "making sure". If you really need to "make" something &qu

Results? Charisma? Partly. Instinctive hero worship tendencies in people? A little.

What does Opportunity have to do with science? In this case, it seems like the Opportunity is an opportunity to get trapped in a system that is likely to be both unsatisfactory and unproductive. My fear is that we've crossed the event

That statement you made seemed reflexively progressive to me rather than an actual thought out position. Question: why does everything have boil down to a mortality lesson? Why can't white guy from the other thread have a little gripe?

Do you see the problem with your cartoon tutorial. Correct me if I'm wrong but your lesson is a good example of begging the question . I think of the two fallacies, the whipped white guys is not nearly as bad as yours. His is merely an

Why the need for all the qualifiers and pre-explanation? It's a fair, and I think, accurate assessment of the ongoing smear campaign being waged by the legacy media against Musk and others. The way you framed up the comment sounds almo

What a wall of words. (The HN comments ) Someone call me when the AI is testifying to the committee. Otherwise, I'm busy.

Can someone explain why we need another new word? I understand that it's to keep me from being a reprehensible person because of some insensitive utterance that might escape my lips. Does anyone with autism honestly care? Can someone p

What's the point of school if it can't do the basic job of collating learners by actual ability? That's the job of school. You personally learning something is a side effect.

Yep. Definitely a case of one side half-heartedly participating and the other side playing for keeps. At some point, the toxicity will generate a wakeup call among normal people and they will have to face facts that a really rotten continge
