I really struggle with this. Most websites have block or mute buttons. So why is it we can't just use those? You see something you don't like, don't click on it. You see someone you don't like, just block or mute them.

I've often spoken with my more left-leaning friends about the need to try and find middle ground with my more right-leaning friends, and quickly. Donald Trump was an incompetent, by almost any measure you want to use. However, he shift

This is a fantastic comment, and spot on I think. I concur with everything you've said.

AVX seems to me to be a band-aid to the instruction length problem inherent in x86 CISC systems vs. RISC chips like M1. Then again, maybe the fact that the memory and GPU are all integrated into M1 also helps propel it over the top. How wel

LOL, this is as ridiculous as, "You were once handed a leaflet about the Nazi Party in 1937, therefore you are a Nazi." If we don't move past this kind of absolute nonsense, you really will have a violent confrontation on y

You can't have Hitler without the Treaty of Versailles. He was just a catalyst to an incredibly punitive and emasculating treaty that scarred the psychology of the German people. If it hadn't been Hitler, it would have eventually

"permanently suspended free speech" doesn't really sound much different than "banned free speech". I can't really see this being a big deal, Bannon's got enough wealth to make his own website.

I have to admit, its pretty arrogant to think someone can make it through high-level physics, chemistry, mathematics, logic, etc., but can't figure out your business classes. Almost makes me laugh out loud.

Don't think of your comment as being grayed out, think of your discourse as being narrowed.

You're being downvoted because discourse should never be narrowed, period. Ideas should be thrown into the public square, in the full light of day, and judged on their merits.
