Absolutely. Everyone wants to be the thought police if they think they can get away with it. Before Bari Weiss became a free speech warrior, she was trying to get pro-Palestine professors fired.

I am not against taboos. Taboos can be good. However, it can be a problem when what is considered taboo expands to encompass basically everything.

I don't find it surprising and it fits my experience with millennial, and younger, Anglo sphere women. If you bring topics like "race" or gender, you had better stay within heavily policed boundaries. I don't even disagr

Was cassette tape storage more common in Europe than the U.S? I’m too young to have been around for this era, but I’ve just never seen it over here.

The governments set the immigration policies. They probably think it’s easier to import doctors than fix the problems with medical schools, hospitals, doctors guilds, payment systems, ect… It is very uncharitable to view this as an attack

This is getting downvoted like it is some horrible bigoted remark, and I don’t think it is. It seems reasonable to me to say that immigration can paper over problems.

Not the OP, but what I assume they are referring to is the ability to work on a remote host. For example if I have a Mac but I am working on a remote Linux box, VSCode will allow me to easily work sync with a repo on the remote host. It wil

I really wanted a heat-pump dryer but the problem is that they seem like they are all designed to go in tiny European closets. I am not space constrained and would like a larger dryer, with a big filter and a larger drum. It seems like eve

I'm not sure it's the "right" choice, but organized labor, is, and should, be an important constituency for the Democrats. Unfortunately the unions do better when Americans are buying massive trucks and SUVs.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the emissions from 10s of millions of personal vehicles is much more significant than a few thousand yachts. Don't get me wrong, I'm for adding restrictions on those things, but I

New York digital media was the epicenter so I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a factor, at least for the past few years. The Reply-All meltdown comes to mind.

I am also curious how much carbon is released to extract and spread that 3 tons. I'm guessing it's still a net carbon-negative, but that's still a lot of material to be moving around.

Pitchfork was the way it was before the rise of identity politics in the 2010s. They’re inconsistent but they did document a lot of music over the past decades so I can’t be too mad at them.

My head-cannon for Dreidel was that it invented by very bored people waiting out a siege during the Maccabean Revolt. That would explain the length of the game. Apparently it’s not nearly that old.
