Ok but for every person who tries to save a stranger from drowning how many other people choose not to? Probably not 0. If I saw a stranger drowning and they were larger than child-sized I probably wouldn't attempt it- apparently its p

It's not about writing off the injured due to their low odds of survival, its about your willingness to lower those odds for your other loved ones, or yourself. How does your thought experiment change when caring for your mother/f

"Moving rivets around" is how I might describe the recent SS2 remaster from nightdive, it was pretty good. This DX remaster is more like "let's have the cheapest contractors we can find run this venerated classic through

I agree that the 'housing as an investment' situation is awful but what are the prospects, realistically, for someone looking for a home right now? If it's a choice between renting or paying off a mortgage then to me it'

A lot of them say so at least ("Hi I'm $Name with $FinancialCompany, we're looking to buy houses in your area...)- Though yes, I'm sure some portion of them are just private individuals or smalltime 'flippers'

And which way is it trending? Massively upwards, as per the article. I've been getting constant texts for years from private equity parasites trying to buy my house, everyone who owns one does. It won't take long for that 2% to be

Shameless apologia for private equity vultures buying up all the houses, what a terrible article. "Oh but renting costs less so it makes your neighborhood more diverse with more lower-income residents!" Yeah and renting also ensur

Wasn't the conspiracy theory that truecrypt got shut down because it was 'too effective', and the successor projects presumably have intentional backdoors or something?

Damn, as bad as the Troy movie was I thought Sean Bean was a great pick for Odysseus. Not so sure about Matt Damon

That's also what I was wondering- I sleep with a fan on for the white noise, otherwise I sleep very poorly if at all. I wonder if that sort of 'covers up' the spikes in noise you'd be hearing if the room were otherwise s

Just thought it was interesting considering they are 'grass-fed'. Is that just a lie? Or maybe it's something else, like if they're drinking water from plastic containers that sit in the sun all day

This article neglects to mention the actual circumstances of the arrest, making it sound like he was arrested simply for asking for a warrant. The AP article manages to explain the situation more clearly than this article does in their very

The cited studies, like most sociopolitical studies, probably don't prove anything. The article doesn't specify how the subjects were selected, unless I missed something. If I were an advocate for UBI and wanted to organize a stud

It doesn't take much imagination to see what's so disturbing about it, they're swarms of autonomous killing machines. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse, or f

Based on my conversations with friends who paid for 23andMe they probably wouldn't have cared, and likely still don't. 23andMe customers are the kind of people who put Alexas in their bedroom

I'm sure the answer could be found in this repo somewhere but its above my head- does aoe2 DE rely mostly on p2p for multiplayer? I assume it does and the regional servers are just used for matchmaking, and all the actual game logic is

Gatsby was a bit soured for me by having read it for the first time as an assignment in high school. Really sucks the fun out of literature when you're yanked out of it after every chapter to write a summary, or answer some dumb quiz q

I unironically love cruelty squads aesthetic, its one of my favorite indie games in recent years. Even the store description calls it a "sewage infused garbage world"- and it is, but its also oddly charming, and perfectly suits th
