Ok. It was hard to tell based on the language you used. > Why burn on purpose? It admittedly seems counterintuitive — or even dangerous — but purposeful burns have been used by Indigenous people to keep forests and wildland healthy for m

I understand the optics involved with the Wikipedia situation. But an automated script (AnomieBot) tagged that article because it met or rather didn’t meet certain guidelines. It’s a stub article and lacked certain citations. Why not just f

In my opinion, you seem to think there’s some sort of left-leaning political agenda in this post. Interestingly, a right-leaning college “friend” on Facebook uses (and links to articles that use) the same “Indians have been doing it for tho

Exactly. EDIT: I was going to write a snark-ish comment that someone would eventually complain about the post title only to refresh a second later and see that someone changed the title already. “Major algorithmic goal” was completely fine

OP didn’t say “don’t want to” in the way that you think he did lol. He’s not interested in being an AWS solutions architect. He was just using that as a specific example of a personal development course that his company offers that’s more s

Yeah, chasing “money” seems off the mark. Chasing “thrills” or “glory” seems closer.

Right. Also, the difference in depths matter just as much as number of dives.

Didn’t you read the comment? His landlord got hit in a head-on collision and refused an ambulance because he was carrying a stack of rent cash in his car. You have to assume the landlord died and OP became homeless 3 days later. (I’m joking

I was basing it off of “IME” and “AFAICT” similar to what you just did in your own ad hominem attack ironically. I don’t tend to preface things like that when commenting and usually I assume this when reading comments online. I used to writ

Because you used phrases like “really important” and “more important”. It sounds very juvenile.

I mean, it takes one to know one.

by bluepod4 3y ago
You have a fixed and narrow definition of what important means. Importance should change depending on context. Sure, you are definitely allowed to say that a certain metric (i.e. population size or density) has more practical applications a

Maybe you haven’t used in Uber in awhile, but it definitely does more than just connecting taxis to clients in 2023.

Yes, the first sentence says so. The rest explains why the water in that moat isn’t very deep, that there’s no alligators in it, and that the competitors are carrying portable bridges.

My point was that if you take the article at face-value and believe that the journalist did her due diligence and that the man in the article was telling the truth, then you can _presume_ (not assume) that the woman had fertility issues so

Possibly but not likely. It specifically said “she” couldn’t get pregnant. Not “they” couldn’t get pregnant. My interpretation seems to be the most correct one based on the juxtaposition. He finally found the “right one” but “she couldn’t g

If you hear this “idiotic” take so often, then you should have had something more logical or thoughtful to say instead of not knowing where to begin. For starters, your last clause “rather than to pay 10 cents more for something less wastef

idk how much it would derail the discussion. The first paragraph said specifically “she couldn’t get pregnant” after trying for five years, indicating fertility problems.

I see you’re making a lot of points on this post, but I did some quick reading and it seems like you might have some facts wrong. Maybe this is because you’re reading a hype article from 2009 published just 1 day before Avatar was released

In practice, it works if it’s implemented like on the desktop version of YouTube. Maybe there’s a reason why popular websites don’t care? Why “worry” about (possibly) expected features “breaking”? Seems extreme. Bugs happen. Sometimes they

It seems trivial for Google to fix if this is truly broken. They could just update the page params while scrolling.
