I would classify anything that tries to butt up against the edge of a lot to be the first sign of grotesqueness. I will never understand the American obsession with quantity over quality.

So what addictions did you have (hours spent and detriment) before and after? Regarding drugs I would be surprised if addicts are simply not evaluating their situation properly in order to "think their way out".

Are you saying that racism is only a problem in rich countries?

Unless there is proof that the hardware on the phone is isolated specifically for this task you cannot make the claim that google is unable to MITM.

To expand on the personal preference this part can be either a blessing or a curse depending on whether or not you are in a position to be able to force decisions in the codebase. It grinds my gears having to work with nitpickers but I am

Who is to say that any news stream will be remotely truthful anymore? I think we are doomed. It is possible that only horrifically authoritarian societies that already control the narrative will survive this.

Frankly one of my most enjoyed jobs was working as a waiter once I got used to it. I was working at a high end restaurant where some wait staff were making $45K+ a year so not perhaps the same situation. There was definitely a sense of sat

This makes me sad the "old" internet has been dead for a while it seems. I also run my own email "server" but mostly only use it as an inbox so I don't know how things have evolved over time. At some point I signe

Certainly now that history can be rewritten literally in an instant by something like chatgpt means that we are indeed no longer going to know what happened in the past. Granted we haven't ever really known with much certainty, but no

I too am shocked by violence in shows that are apparently deemed ok for children to watch. Children being anyone under the age of 18.

I have to disagree that hyper-focusing on race and carving out "safe spaces", that allow different racial groups to gather exclusively, and teaching kids that people with their same skin color did bad things that are still not fix

I don't follow why you are being downvoted because reparations in the form of money paid out will likely never quell the demand for more reparations.

Whitelist/Blacklist. I find the word erasure issue very obnoxious. One day we will realize all over again that hyper-focus on race only produces more division and more racism. But I'm lost as to whether or not those on the left

Am I the only one who finds the end of Return of the Jedi to be the most horrible edit among all of the edits? I mean... I just want the song from my childhood not the garbage found in the blurays...

I would say it is B. With enough people in the mix, and given how the internet has only just bolstered what would have otherwise been fringe ideas, public forums will eventually shift into a state where there are enough users of subculture

The suburbs suck because people don't have porches anymore. Even if they did people are highly suspicious of one another. It is a lose-lose situation all around.

I would argue that it is impossible. Mostly because you come to realize that "friendship" is often a lopsided arrangement where the other party is gorging themselves on whatever need they have.

You are either incredibly lacking in self-awareness, you feel absurdly superior relative to your employees, or you are trolling. It is hard to tell which!

Their interests align with my values. Being picky about the "why" of their interests especially when it is "they want to survive the crushing hand of Microsoft" is a rather rich criticism on your part. Yeah companies wa

I would argue that if you cannot first think logically then the supposed "critical thinking" you are doing is little more than you expressing things in a more or less persuasive way. In this case, persuasion is more hinged on cha
