It is such a shame that the Chinese government has been actively trying to obscure the origins of this virus from impartial investigations for the last 2 years.

Why do people with this much wealth want even more wealth for themselves? I've never understood this.

No, I'm arguing that forced schooling in general is an unethical act, on par with communist indoctrination, and there should be no government run schools at all

by beebmam 5y ago
Forced curriculum on students, at all, is no different than re-education camps; state sponsored indoctrination that both political parties (currently) support. All education should be consensual

I don't really like physically being around only men, so I don't enjoy being in the workplace. I much prefer to work from home when I work at companies that have a small percentage of women on my team (which is every software jo

What do you mean by "short"? Do you mean like, the monitor support structure is short? You can put ultra-wide monitors on monitor arms; just make sure the monitor arm supports the weight of the device.

It depends on the game. I much prefer 24" 240Hz+ monitors for competitive reaction-based games. But yes, ultra-wide monitors are incredible for productive tasks.

All it is going to take is one big violent event organized using end-to-end encryption and that's it, this bill (or something like it) will pass. So you should probably prepare for that political battle if this is an issue you care abo

Why should people give benefit of the doubt to the country with 150k troops, full equipment, tanks, & blood plasma, and surrounding Ukraine with them? They could easily attack Ukraine within hours
733.
by beebmam 5y ago
Keep in mind that Russia has gathered hundreds of thousands of troops & their equipment on the border of Ukraine, for zero good reason other than to bully, intimidate, or invade. This is entirely a crisis of Russia's making.

It's becoming more common to see violent rhetoric used across the political spectrum. What a shame. Violence, even threats of violence, does irreparable harm to others.

I actually find apple music discovery to be far worse for my tastes than Spotify. But nothing even comes close to the SoundCloud Weekly and SoundCloud Upload discovery playlists. I've found such incredible indie musicians through those

Keep in mind that privacy doesn't apply to cash transactions when either party reports the income or uses the expenditure as a tax deduction.

If labor is in short supply for blue collar jobs, shouldn't wages rise significantly? Doesn't make sense to me

What you've done here is arguing in bad faith. There are reasons behind why people classify something like Grinding for Levels as a dark pattern, and you've straw-manned their argument as "I personally don't like this th

Many people got Delta and then Omicron even 1 month later. Kai Ryssdal from NPR for example, and one of my friends did too. So this isn't crazy; it literally happens to many respiratory viruses. Viruses mutate

Very good point. Democracy can govern banks. Democracy cannot govern cryptocurrencies. That is both why it is hated and loved by different groups of people.
742.
by beebmam 5y ago
Seeing cryptocurrencies grow so much over the last few years, it seems to me that without governance over cryptocurrency transactions, cryptocurrencies tend to incentivize scams and black market trading, and they tend to function as specula

My biggest problem with scalpers is that they often send damaged or refurbished gear (while claiming the gear is new) and then rug pull. The graphics card market is such a god damned mess right now, and it makes me tremendously sad that the

"All relevant actions are stored forever on a public blockchain." - yeah, no thanks! So much human effort put into dystopian blockchain technologies, what a shame. Do we really have to monetize everything? I opine that social medi
