Billions of birds dead, insect apocalypse, amphibian populations decimated, etc... But yeah people are just being alarmist, it's the end of the world and I feel fine.

I think giving money to people that need it and forcing them to test for illegal drugs is a better solution. There is nothing good or even acceptable about addiction, it's just criminalizing it is a very bad idea. https://en

Because freedom and democracy. Wars of attrition for political purposes are nothing but state sponsored terror by another name. More than 16,000 dead and 30,000 injured. Talk about Afghan 9/11 ever year for the past 10 years probably 2

I don't think schooling has much to do with people's failure or success as much as other factors that are either inherited genetically, financially, or socially. If you want high performers make sure they have the best genetics, c

Taken logically some jurisdictions have legislation and legislators that allows for and perhaps it could be argued support rape according to other jurisdictions. Given this is the case how does such a rape supporting jurisdiction have any l

It's in fact morally absurd to have it be statutory rape in one jurisdiction and not in another, depending on age. That's a fact, if you don't like it you can kindly go bury you head in the woke sand.

Leadership does not mean stay woke or we'll cancel you. Stallman should not have stepped down.

Not sure what you are talking about, can you quote what you mean? No one gets to decide, I mean personal information being shared between companies on the backend. That should be heavily monitored with oversight. Like the sites you visited,

The web was fine without these commercial companies. Not like their content added a ton of value to the web. The news is mostly propaganda anyhow, belonging to various wealthy parties that want people to pay for their propaganda... If they

Lots of 30 and 40 somethings wish to relive their youth. Also Jerry Seinfeld needs a new Yacht.

I just saw some Evian water in a nice container to spray on people's faces for $8. The market in the Western world has jumped the shark. It'll put up with many things thrown at it.

Pretty much and the US and its five eyes allies are the kings of soft power in espionage. Blaming people for hacking them while being the biggest hackers of them all, etc. The West is either oblivious or true believers. But really at the en

When you look at these situations you have to realize it may be the case that the victims are criminals. The question is of the lesser evil, as there are no absolutes in such countries... or really any country. American elites often exploit

What about off-road vehicles, tents, campers, bringing in the food with them, etc. Though I know a lot of idiots would not prepare and try to just show up and if they did so they would be stuck in a major traffic jam which I guess would onl

Did no one watch Jurassic Park? You can't put genetic alterations in the environment and expect them not to propagate. The idea that this is possible has been proven multiple times to be utterly and completely false. No matter what the

Well he's right that the legal fiction that a minor below the age of 18 in some countries and 17 and 16 in other countries can not consent is arbitrary. And that logically taken at face value the only way to consistently justify the ga

Seems like a good differentiator for a retailer... Maybe online only retailer. Maybe someone like Walmart trying to compete with Amazon.

All the countries the US has fucked up in the past few years have not had nuclear weapons. It's obvious only nuclear weapons can guarantee your national security against a major superpower. Why would anyone get rid of them when this is

You can do quite a bit without understanding it properly. As tons of cool kids have shown none of that shit actually matters if you are trying to create the next big thing that's going to make billions.

Article you posted is mostly P/R fluff. I would prefer a human taking my order. Automating this stuff has 2 benefits, reduced costs while still selling over-priced sub-par food. Second, being able to upsell using video and voice techno

I can tolerate the empire that I am a part of because at least I know I can criticize its evil deeds without having them censor every little thing about them... which can potentially convince them to change, not so for the CPC.

Yes it seems the tide is turning on China. If they want to play ball with the rest of the world they need to reform into a modern democracy and the CPC needs to go away. Otherwise, we need to limit the authoritarian contagion. China is pret

I never understood the need to protect a certain class of non-innovative noncompetitive services like banks and telecoms. It just a way to make a few a*holes rich.

It's very possible that left wing social liberalism has jumped the shark and hard core right wing social conservatism is on the menu going forward. Evidence for this is Trump, states passing ridiculous abortion laws, nativism, etc. Tha

How does it having been announced a year ago make it utterly legitimate? Jack Ma outright owned the company which was not funded by government money. And all the sudden he announces the company is going to be handed over to the government a
