Yeah I agree there's a barrier between the endless eight ball of streaming songs and the music you've downloaded onto your computer. Once you've plucked a song from the internet and put it into your collection it becomes reli

I don't see where justice comes in. That's between friends. Companies expand and governments adjust them. Banana republics are born from broken governments, which brings negative outcomes to the people. Governments that close off

There's an attempt to refine the normal dog-human interpretative dance into a more formal setup. Some people are using buttons to get the dog to reply in a context format rather than just gauging enthusiasm for a given task. https:&#x

When it came out it was a pointless and mostly buggy grind-a-thon. Some played it to 'chill out and relax' and could have argued the $/hr was a positive ratio when 99.95% of people did not share that experience. I haven'

Some people spent hours in No Man's Sky too. The cost per hour only matters if you can put up with 'flaws'. Most expected the latest and greatest, what they got was not that. Every hype/drop cycle is the same, but this c

Most people in the past had kids because life sucked. We gained from having extra hands on the farm. More kids were better in a world with a relatively high mortality rate. Your kid doesn't have to live in a utopia to be worth making.

You are the person choosing your own interpretation. I believe in science, what I don't believe is that people will listen to truth when it is presented. They are two different things. Science has lost its power to object to a higher c
