In 2025, self-perceived contrarian voters are making up a larger and larger voting block and would be eager to have a machine made in Russia make decisions for their country.

Democracy is founded on the principle that people either think about what's best for their community, or at the very least themselves, when voting. Remove the thinking aspect and there's no real point to democracy. Just let the co

Yep. There's a balance between doing enjoyable work, getting paid what you feel your work is worth, and feeling like what you're doing is of some sort of value to your community or the world as a whole. Maxing out all 3 of those i

In America and much of Asia, peanuts are incredibly common. This is like an Indian person saying beef isn't a common food. In your country, sure. The rest of the world? No. Infants in SE Asia are probably getting near daily exposure to

There's a pretty clear nuance in my post where I was addressing things the immune system can handle. Not poison that accumulates in the body.

There was a period of a few decades (I guess still ongoing, really) where parents sheltered their kids from everything. Playing in the dirt, peanuts, other allergens. It seems like all it's done is make people more vulnerable as adults

Having a lot of buildings under trees brings up a big problem when heavy rainstorms, wind, or hail occur. Texas has all three. Old trees are particularly troublesome since heavy limbs can snap off with very gentle stimulation. It's nic

This post is bizarre since you've used idioms in your own comments elsewhere in this very post, but you're asking someone else to not use idioms. I think it's my first time ever seeing anyone online request someone else to no

I feel like this shows a change in mindset these past couple decades. More and more people buy things for the purpose of reselling them. Houses are now more investments than places to actually live in. Rubbing alcohol was bought up during C

I have a strong feeling Apple is raising prices elsewhere in order to avoid pissing off the notoriously sensitive consumers in America. Sony is doing similar things with making the PlayStation expensive everywhere to make it affordable for

I guess we also need to define what biological life means. Even biologists have debated whether viruses should be considered life. And if we determine it must be something with cells that can sustain themselves, we run into a challenge shou

The facilities aren't even remotely hidden so it's fair to blame Cambodia for allowing it. They have towns built up around them with restaurants and shops and normal economic functions to support the people running these slave tow

If that's the case, limit opt ins so Microsoft doesn't have to pointlessly scan data. But they're limiting opt outs, which forces people into that endless scanning of their data. Nobody. Absolutely nobody. Believes it's

As stated many times elsewhere here, if that were the case, it'd be an opt in limit. Instead it's an opt out limit from a company that has a proven record of forcing users into an agreement against their will and requiring an opt

This is Microsoft. They have a proven record of turning these toggles back on automatically without your consent. So you can opt out of them taking all of your most private moments and putting them into a data set that will be leaked, but y

Theft comes with the connotation of taking someone away from someone and depriving them of their possession. Using their internet connection without paying is unlicensed usage/illicit access, but nobody is being deprived of it. Mega co

The vast majority of Twitter posts are by bots, so 44.5% seems like a higher proportion of humans than usual. The Cracker Barrel thing was a hot topic amongst people I know for a good 48 hours. It's more interesting to me how, without

There are many, many corners of the internet with people actively celebrating every boat bombing. Evidence of a crime isn't necessary. Beyond just the boat bombings, we're in an era where you can see HD footage of actual people cr

Japanese people as a whole never watch content with proper subtitles. And the subtitles that do exist in Japan for Japanese content are universally awful. It seems only foreign companies that promote being accessible have them. Unext, a Jap

I've gotten much farther in life by masking it to some extent. Those gains in life allowed me more freedom overall and let me do more of what I enjoy. "Just be yourself" is a good message in a movie, but everyone has to play

"Leader" means other countries are following India's example and looking up to it. I'm not so sure that's happening.

A country of 1.4 billion maybe potentially surpassing a country of 80 million strongly implies it's not quite a powerhouse yet. I'm hopeful for India's future and they're on the right track, but currently, they're

Yes, the fact Britain was brutal to the Irish is no secret. But had Ireland not had a monoculture that all rotted away, things would've been less severe. And what you've said only further proves the point I was making: you should
