Same here, never heard of SSC before and I am reading his older articles right now. A true Streisand effect moment.

As a white person from a poor post communist country with no colonial history (99.999% white) I cringe when some local SJW parrots the "white privilege" agenda. It just makes no sense in large parts of the world other than US.

I am not fan of regulation, but apparently not every abuse of the market can be solved by courts in a practical way. Like in this case, a mere mortal can not possibly sue Google. I can imagine the EU will step in soon. There are multiple di

Are you referring to the recent censoring of platforms that refused to moderate the inciting of violence? I believe there is a huge difference. You can not have a society that is tolerant to intolerance, see https://en.wikipedia.

Of course, but in doing so he would choose a certain course, I doubt his studies would contradict each other.

Two of the mentioned studies seem to be related to the question whether violent games and movies influence our behaviour. Assuming Qian Zhang's work is fraudulent, what was his agenda? That violent games are OK, or the opposite?

Cudos to the website for clearly stating WHAT THE WEBSITE IS in the very second sentence. This kind of clarity is unfortunately quite rare. > This site collects FAQs and a directory for the PTA community...

Anti-monopoly laws exist for a reason. Splitting Google (and other IT monopolies) is the only remedy their monopolistic behaviour.

Shapes of the same color are added to a single shape, shapes of different colors are extracted from each other. Lines (of any colors) can (but don't have to) split shapes. A simple rectangular selection with mouse can add a bezier poin

Your comment sounds like a big argumentation fallacy but on a closer look it is too vague to reason about. Maybe if you stated your position more specifically it would be possible to answer.

Saudi Arabia is the real Mordor. Let us not forget the women's rights activist Loujain al-Hathloul - known for protesting the ban on women driving - being inhumanely tortured, including sexual violence, now facing terrorism charges. h
