Off topic, but I wish the New Horizons website's title said NASA - New Image of Pluto. When I have more than two tabs open, I kept looking at the tab the Pluto photo was in and thinking it was a blank new tab.

"the tech industry is in denial about being in a bubble. Here's an article with prominent people from the tech industry saying we're in a bubble." This is pure clickbait shit.

Ok. Do you have anything else to add? Something that might facilitate a discussion? An example of why it reminds you of someone I've never heard of's misogynistic rants? Literally anything else other than a semi-anonymous opinion

So you're basically putting on a show for people who are spectacularly wrong about the obvious and loud about it? Don't feed the trolls. That includes the people who think anyone who disagrees with them is a . ist, . phobic troll.

This is a textbook example of an ad hominem attack. You're not arguing any points he's made on their validity; you're trying to invalidate things he "spews" because you think his character isn't sufficient. Int

That's reddit for you. Over the past five years, the zeitgeist of the site has become increasingly petulant and entitled. A lot of people on the site seem to genuinely believe the entire internet gets their content from reddit and only

Cruel and unusual punishment plain and simple. It disgusts me that we're this vindictive a society; that's all this is - vindictiveness because who's going to stand up for sex offenders when our -children- are at stake.

Please stop repeating this intellectually lazy and false meme. Or go to reddit; platitudes that don't require critical thinking tend to do better there.

Way to take the bait. five seconds to write a throwaway troll line versus fifteen minutes of outraged huffing and puffing and demands of bans over someone saying something stupid on the internet. Good work.
