No, I want specific laws or policies from government. I'm not denying that there is racism in the US, but the government does not encourage or implement racism to my knowledge. Most of what you describe is illegal in the US. > No it

I do this occasionally too, not sure where I picked it up at, but half the word is silent, how stupid is that!

How does the US institutionalize racism? If anything we implement tons of policies with the opposite goal. The article is about tariffs on China, this is thread is all about China, you responded to a post about human rights violations in Ch

China may have up to 1 million muslims in concentration camps, what has the US done in the last 50 years that is even comparable? I'm reading so many people defending China, I have to think it's because they haven't done any

The US tortures its enemies, China its enemies and citizens.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, you can argue to what degree Mao was responsible, but in the end China's authoritarian government was at least partially responsible. They estimate 20 and 43 million died, if not caused by, the

You can't even compare the two, the US is still dealing with systemic racism, but we are dealing with it, China is institutionalizing it. For example, Chinese citizens can be _tortured_ for political views, protesting or religious beli

China is a human rights nightmare, they literally have concentration camps. I think ethically the US shouldn't even do trade with China.

Perhaps, but that is the 5T one, the "one fresnel lens" option or "one diffraction grating" option are cheaper and seem more feasible. That said, if scientists believe that all they lack is money, who are you to tell the

Your point of reference includes 2 ground control centers, and 30 satellites. To suggest that launching a single satellite would cost the same is to me, laughable. This if anything proves my point, nothing seems insane about launching a len

Which numbers in particular do you have problems with?

A recentish one places an estimate at 10B initial costs, and 10B maintenance. 20B is doable by the US alone, yes. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction, it's why you must research. In this case the truth may well be that humans

They already have estimates for the sun shade idea, so probably the engineers are capable of doing what they say. It's interesting how you cling to doom and gloom, and don't even bother researching alternatives.

Weddings are inherently a party, so it's not surprising that some are extravagant. What world do you want to live in where there is no extravagance or anything extra?

To be fair you are sort of assuming their troll detection is very accurate, however these users have apparently not said enough to get banned, which makes it seem like an error on Twitter's behalf.

I think the question in that case is what existed before the Big Bang, has a vacuum always existed before? Or are we on a constant loop of universes forming and disintegrating.

Astroturfing is meant to look like a grassroots movement, a key difference seems to be actively concealing the source of funding or influencing group. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroturfing

Any data/citations on this? I feel like myself and most people would not change their views(especially on abortion) based on a few seconds looking at an ad on facebook.

I have no experience in this area, but. Once you get the molecules and their interactions down wouldn't that make all other types of cells easier to produce? And at a certain point couldn't you just feed the simulation DNA and wat

It seems more culture impacts language, you don't have social structures that are created in language and implemented in culture later. I agree it's a construct of culture though, but I don't know that adding words is necessa
