"People in wealthy countries became more antiauthoritarian, more critical of traditional rules and roles, and more dedicated to individual expression and choice." It seems like she considers it and speaks directly to it. Is it tha

I see what you're saying but it's already a problem for them. 100% of videos coming onto the platform will be . Instead, the discussion we're having is where they should draw the line on what gets removed. Is it videos that b

That isn't what I said nor what I meant. They are overstepping on the censorship front by continually constricting their "acceptable" guidelines based off of their very fluid internal rules. "In 2018 alone, we made more

True, however this wraps back to the publisher vs platform debate. If they don't want the government forcing them to host content and uphold free speech then they have to take responsibility for the content in the eyes of the law. Curr

Expecting more from the BBC will only result in further disappointment. They know their audience and know that they can drop a word like science for immediate, unquestionable authority on the topic without having to provide substantial evid

They are left leaning according to mediabiasfactcheck and gender discrimination is a heavily politicized topic. Their agenda is also about clicks; gender discrimination claims will generate more clicks than a science article

What were the primary motivations for homeschooling? Cultural? Political? Quality? Access? Also how do you go about socializing them? I've been considering it myself

This title is misleading considering their findings. Only in states that were already moving towards legalization and reduced bias did you see a sharper reduction after federal legalization. States that weren't moving towards legalizat

Would you want alcohol to be banned because it causes harm as well? It's about losing personal liberty - people will dig in their heels.

As someone who drunkenly bought 10 keys and unboxed gloves I can confirm. I'm now competing at a much higher level. Seriously though I think the loot box model is ethically wrong. However, I don't believe it's wrong to offer

How would they get anyone to pay anything if their services are being offered by the government as a basic human right? They lose all bargaining power if they can't refuse their services.

Interesting solution - I don't know how the visa system works but if these doctors decided to switch careers after they got here in order to provide better for themselves/their family is there anything stopping them? It still seem

People want to go because it is a lucrative career. Lowering the education requirements would result in lower quality of care.

Compressing "unnecessarily" high wages will inevitably cause less people to want to assume large amounts of debt for the necessary education and training to become doctors. The doctors that I know chose their career explicitly bec

You're right and evolution is easily misunderstood as deterministic when it is only the result of random mutations in a population over time. Every variation you see does not mean it has a positive evolutionary advantage, only that tho

No, and ironically the poster of that comment is doing the exact same thing, judging people for judging people. Judging is a natural, normal, unavoidable thing we all do.

Every human is "on the spectrum". The guidelines are extremely flimsy and if you've ever been stressed in a social situation you're essentially on the spectrum. In software engineering I hear it almost as a joking term o

Ironically, conversations geared towards reaching real solutions are not as prone to receiving widespread attention since they involve multivariate discussion and critical thought. Meanwhile, flimsy grandstanding is a popular way of making

I think evolution must have affected it strongly, right? I imagine the men who weren't very good at this were more likely to be killed in battle and therefore not able to reproduce

Right, for getting in good physical shape. It can't hurt - but in terms of direct impact to your gameplay, I think the meditation/calming exercises of yoga would be more beneficial

Yoga specifically makes a lot of sense to me. Recently I've been getting back into playing CS:GO and it's shocking how much your physical state affects your gameplay. Tense up and you become much more erratic with your aim and mov

Never claimed they were. "it would really depend on what you want to use it for" It was my understanding that social media platforms were for connecting with people and sharing content/ideas with them. If you're trying t

Right, because it's extremely easy to find other brands that are effective in the same way. A social network's purpose and efficacy is directly related to the number of users in that network. Not at all analogous

I get what you're saying but if they're going to curate what content that they put forth, then they cease to be a platform and they become a publisher. Publishers are liable for much more under the eyes of the law. They can't

It's the publisher vs platform debate. If you're curating content based off of promoting your company's vision of acceptable free speech, then you become a publisher and a whole different set of rules apply to you. You'r

As a non-white person living in America, this is scary to see. It's a policy targeting a specific race of people's content... How is that not racist? It will only foment more resentment and retaliatory sentiment while serving to m
