I'm tired of these generalizations, I'm tired of anger towards vague ideas. Of course misogyny exists in pockets and is bad. But it doesn't exist alone. Give specific and constructive examples of misogyny, what we can do abou

They are also far more population dense than the US. Viruses love close contact. Like I said earlier, I support slowing it down. But there is a balance.

I've seen "pandemic experts" say some dumb stuff too. Like declaring that the death rate to be reported deaths / reported cases without a single acknowledgement of the drove of cases that go unreported, or declaring that

One question that's been on my mind: The number of Coronavirus cases is likely far more than what's being reported. Apparently there are those who get coronavirus and are unaware that they have it before they heal. However everyon

There's the other extreme as well - being a cynic in all circumstances will leave you consistently feeling burnt out.

On the bright side, a disruption in supply may teach us what we really need, and what we don't need. Maybe after this breakout we'll realize the importance of slowing down, consuming less, and resting more.

But the media has been dramatic about many topics, the media has cried wolf many times. This isn't entirely everyone else's fault.

I'm so glad to hear that I'm not the only person this is happening to. I had to switch to Firefox for debugging as Chrome would lock up completely on breakpoints.

Why make bitcoin better when you can just reimplement it from the ground up? Look at Stellar. Transactions take <5 seconds and the chain is kind to the environment with trust based transactions rather than POW.

I agree that hate speech is often the bad side of free speech. What I disagree on is who should decide what hate speech is. Taking away the right for someone to speak their mind is too much power for one individual or group, and is ripe for

Hate speech is free speech. The whole point of free speech laws is to protect controversial opinions. Good or bad, because the bad of censorship is often much worse than the bad of free speech.

Thankfully it's not. As beautiful as Pictured Rocks are, it's so over-recommended that it's making Michigan look like a one-trick pony.

I don't think Trump is pro-coal or anti-coal more than he is just pro-economy and pro-capitalism and judged the economy as pro-coal. The economy is a voice of the people and thankfully happened to move towards a more eco-friendly solut
