Low paying jobs are a problem, but nowhere near as terrible as actual slavery - where you don't have the right to defend yourself from physical abuse, the right to move to a different place, etc. What sounds particularly indicting in t

I've got no idea about her being corrupted or not, but for sure citing "common knowledge" doesn't prove anything.

The same happened in Italy, but I think that the change happened after dubbed American movies started using the Italian word to translate the n word. This associated the originally neutral word to offensive contexts, so the word meaning sta

You might know an answer to a question I have. Does the "involuntary" part mean that an incel would settle for a woman he would consider very physically unattractive, but isn't able to find a partner even this way?

It's impossible for everyone to be rich. This doesn't mean we should punish the rich for being rich, but you aren't going to reduce inequality by increasing the number of rich people - you need to increase the income of low a

It's great that tools like the Wayback machine are able to objectively prove attempts at lying like this one. I'm afraid, though, that the insane level of polarisation that politics has reached in this day will protect Cummings fr

You need to be careful with caching inside models, because you want your models to reflect the current, completely up-to-date state of the application. Conceptually, the best place to do it is inside controllers, where you know when you can

For those who want some indicative data of what happens in a few weeks if you don't act early, together with Italy, take a look at Spain. The health system in Madrid is already overwhelmed because the growth was incredibly fast.
