How could I be "doing it for months now" when I haven't posted for months? Other than a comment a few days before this I hadn't posted for almost 5 months. It takes about 10 seconds to look at my account's posting h

I did. I also read up on the use of racial slavery and genocide of native Americans as the basis of Americas rise to power. Unlike you though I am able to understand that one of them(Nazism) has racial superiority and oppression as a core f

You do realize it was THE NAZIS that "first they came for..." right? You are literally using the oppression that this group levied on other people as a defense for their views. I didn't realize I was on 4chan or Reddit. Are p

This post is wrong on so many levels. Those ideologies did not have the hatred and violence at their core that Nazism did. That's why there is no "Godwins Law" when it comes to Marxism. That's my point: This is the most

No, there is no slippery slope. This is a group that advocates an ideology that, when it was put in place, resulted in catastrophe for mankind. In other words, what they advocate is what exists at the bottom of the slope. You know, Godwin&#

I suppose because the event received so much attention the whole "it never happened/fake news" trick from the playbook doesn't work, so it's time to blame the victim and insinuate that it was a false flag event.

You can "disagree" with it all you want, but you just cited an example in support of it...Obama and the NSA (the establishment) wasn't the bad guy, Snowden (i.e. Emmanual Goldstein) was.

People don't "collect their news from multiple sources and make their minds up". Even if one is ignorant of the decades of substantial research on political ignorance (Phillip Converse, Ilya Somin, Hibbing and Theiss-Morse&#x

Or the NYT would parrot his war machine propaganda (Judith Miller and Iraq war) and bury his illegal dragnet surveillance (NSA warrantless wiretapping). The NYT (and MSM in general) do not have a liberal bias but an establishment bias...unl

Education has never been more accessible, but unfortunately, at least here in the US, the education system does not nurture intellectual curiosity and promotes a submissive style of education where "the student" is dependent and s

The results of the recent election were driven by inefficiencies in the American electoral system, such as the electoral college, gerrymandered districts that result in Republicans holding more seats than their vote totals would suggest, et

Maybe it's not someone's political bias but your false equivalency at work?

Someone mentioned physical therapy, which is a good idea. Another one might be going to a chiropractor (if it is an alignment issue). Given your aversion to taking opioids I would suggest trying to determine the exact nature of the pain (mu

You're not motivated because you did not get what you wanted (leadership position) and you identify yourself as being superior to those whom are in your position (dumb, working on useless things). Motivate yourself by either pulling up

No, you're trying to claim that they are not upholding those ideals by citing the actions against an individual whose occupation is not guided by these ideals, and in the process you want to discredit Universities ENTIRELY as a result.

I think the Array.includes makes the language better as it standardizes how to check for array membership. I've encountered more than one bug as a result of the "!== -1" check not working correctly/as expected.

Except Milo is a professional troll interested in self-promotion, not knowledge and truth. Most importantly though you are taking a simplistic all or nothing approach where any (perceived) transgression disqualifies the entire history of kn

And in order to be able to do so you have to exposed to all of the above...as well as legitimate viewpoints that can be conflated with all of the above.

No universities are seekers of truth and knowledge, even a cursory glance at the progress of knowledge and understanding will demonstrate this to be true. I mean, seriously, where would technology be without universities? Don't let you

Before you can empathize you have to be sincerely curious, "What is it that they're seeing that I don't?". Unfortunately the lack of intellectual curiosity, the disinterest in thinking critically, is something that has i

The most important thing is being open to the fact that you will be wrong. I've lost track of the number of times I have machine gunned out ideas/solutions only to have parts (or even all of it) picked apart by myself or others. Y

No, the person you quoted is absolutely correct. A frustrating part of political discourse is that most people don't bother to put in the time and energy to understand the things they talk about, largely because it does matter enough t

Instead of being able to quickly peruse docs to see if a method existed and what it took/returned, I would be directed to dig through source code to see if it exists and what it did. This is basic API doc work. This meant something tha

I'm sorry but they've pushed themselves away by their own actions. At some point a stand has to be taken and a demand for accountability has to be made. At this point I'm not willing to wait to see how far this goes before th
