For a couple years, I had strange heart palpitations. It became increasingly frequent and bad to the point that it'd feel like my heart stopped for 10 seconds, or it was trying to burst out of my chest for a minute, or the arteries in

If you've got decent programming experience, that's all it takes. I started learning Lua and began working on a game within an hour without needing to reference language documentation much at all. It's a language without many

Ask any Chinese person whether the quality of life is better now than 5 years ago, and they'll say yes. Ask them if it's better than 10 years ago and they'll say of course. Ask a grandma if it's better than 50 years ago,

If free speech doesn't protect a person's right to say negative, bad, or even wrong things, it's not free speech. Even the strictest authoritarian regimes don't restrict people from saying approved or positive things--th

>Russia and China aspire to nothing. Even if we fail them most of the time, at least the US has ideals. This is ridiculous. Do you think China and Russia are operating like an ant colony or something?

Only use Pygame if you only know Python, refuse to learn another language, you're not planning on working on your project after a week, and you don't ever plan on having other people actually play your game. Javascript engines are

I have no clue what you're trying to say with your first paragraph, and your second paragraph is a massive [citation needed]. I've never even heard anyone say Japanese has a close Indo-European cousin. I've never heard anyone

When reddit first launched, the media and mainstream leaned a bit more right. Reddit had people with pretty heavily left leaning views and also borderline anarchist libertarians flocking to it. Gay marriage and legal weed were actually not

My phone's language and my native language are different. Oftentimes it'll recommend me an English wikipedia article while typing (which is fine). But whenever I select it, it fails, since an article with the same title as the Eng

A lot of fruits and vegetables have had hundreds if not thousands of years of selective breeding to maximize flavor. It’s also less likely to be ravaged by insects due to pesticides and mass extermination. The average person can probably bu

Yes, all housing markets are subject to supply and demand. The point I was making was that declining population has zero effect on Japan's non-rising home prices, since home prices have remained stable for decades now and even when the

Rent is cheap even in Tokyo compared to virtually any American city. I'm living in a city of 800,000 and early 30s families have no trouble buying a new house if they want to. It was this way even before the population started to decli

Trying to read through this was a slog. Just endlessly saying people only hate astrology because they're white cis men and saying cis white men are hellbent on denying their brilliance. People of all sorts also believe in healing cryst

Your wording makes it sound like ARM is still being used just for smaller devices and controllers with very well defined and limited uses. General purpose computing is already possible with iPads and iPhones. They're just artificially

I've been served by shirtless guys in normal restaurants and food carts. I've seen more than enough shirtless guys eating dinner outside without anybody caring. I've only seen a few nipples in offices, so maybe you have a poi

I've heard a lot about dragon fruit over the years and seen plenty of hype about it. I've been on what feels like a lifelong quest to find good dragon fruit, spread over many years and many countries, including throughout SE Asia.

The toilet is a place where we get rid of the dirty things our bodies produce. We do it away from others because it's not sanitary or safe to just do it in the open. It's weird that an adult can have a meal just about anywhere the

I sometimes wonder if there's a genetic component affecting how people smell and taste durian, just like with cilantro. To me it's just a little stinky, like someone fried onions a couple hours ago and the smell is mostly faded, b

Yeah, I’ve found having a beer definitely takes away some anxiety/twitchiness and brings me back to reality a bit faster. But it was the same for me, towards the end of a trip. Not sure how it works for somehow rapidly being swallowed

I think X is correct and Y is offensive, is what some people say. You’ll also find people saying they find Y correct and X offensive. Giving in without question that easily can result in others being offended. Sometimes you have people who’
