this website almost made me cry. It was a magical time to learn to program games, with such a low barrier of entry. I loved it so much, it helped me through a horrible childhood. I no longer feel like I want to make games but I will never f

omg inglor! I remember your name was a meme back when I was in the newgrounds forums learning how to make games. I remember you had a contest(?) or were just helping people learn how to make games only using the drawing API without any hand

good question. The individual is racist, but he/she is probably just racist in the same way that almost everyone is: the society that they grew up in created associations in his nervous system that black people are more likely to be in

to say that the reason people join gangs is cultural implies that it's a "bad culture" problem. the reality of why people join gangs is more complicated and includes overpolicing, economic deprivation, legacies of slavery and

this is a very interesting idea, but I think using gender and skin tone to represent data differences is potentially problematic, particularly if the data has any sort of normative meaning. the other variables are interesting though

my point is that, a photon bouncing off the system doesn't suffice as a measurement, because photons and electrons are always interacting with the system, but the measurement/wave function collapse doesn't occur until there&#

Universal healthcare is accomplished in many countries, so how does it not have a solution? Yes, it's a black hole for money - that's my entire point, it's not profitable, but it can be addressed with more money. No system is

I'm not knowledgable of QM. But I don't think that's necessarily true, because photons/electrons are interacting with the system at all times, but the wave function doesn't collapse until we actually observe the res

- Most industries in the US are largely dominated by oligopolies. I think it's on you to prove that they all, or at least most, arose due to government interference. - As I said in my answer (are you reading?), I'm not sure that g

when moneyed-interests can make money by appealing to what non-moneyed people want, then there is alignment. this happens often in consumer products, including coca-cola, which I guess you're confusingly suggesting is an example of a s

It sounds like you think the previous comment is making a fallacy of drawing individual conclusions from broad statistics, or prioritizing population-wide rates over individual outcomes. It sounds like you're imagining that looking at
