Because he made a huge blunder. Because he thinks this is how he stays in power. He set up this whole situation with a lot of optimism about Ukraine capitulating, or getting some concessions, and it didn't work out. Now he's attac

I am not a philosopher. What I know about nihilism comes from watching the Big Lebowski.

Yeah maybe. Better than 0.1%, but there's nothing you can do except become a prepper and live out in the woods with a starlink dish and a solar panel and pretend to get some work done remotely. Question is, is it better to be at ground

I mean, when you think about the eventual heat death of the universe, nothing really matters in the end. Embrace nihilism.

Nobody forced Putin to invade. That was Putin's decision. Ukraine joining or not joining NATO is irrelevant, a canard, a red herring, a strawman. The world can do much now. Even from just a humanitarian perspective, accepting refugees,

The only plus side for having a reasonable number of followers on Twitter is that when you complain about a major corporation sometimes you get preferential treatment. Otherwise it seems like a lot of work. Twitter is for following my favor

If you could quantify how many times a night your bed sharer woke you up, what is actionable about that data that is not already obvious? :)

Create dank memes? Crank out political rhetoric? The sky's the limit.

Most of the content? Really? Not on my local subreddit, probably. That gets brigaded by gun nuts not bots. But... I've had some conversations before on reddit that I'm pretty sure were with bots.

C++ programmer here. I have a class that does something, so a header and a source file. I add some words as a primer on why the class exists, and the magic neural net adds comments in the header as to what the member variables are, and what

It's that word of mouth that I want to know! I agree that something Yelp-like isn't going to be useful. I just don't see a way of doing this successfully unless the government mandated surveys, or some other compulsory mechan

Some public schools are just fine. Some private schools are awful given who my kid is. I just want to know which one is which.

I'm a pinko left wing commie, and so are all my friends, followers, and people I follow. You can't get a purer bubble! But, my friends post things like "you won't believe what X said on OANN the other day. OUTRAGE!"

Yep! That's why it's a short term solution.

In the short term you can just not log onto the outrage-o-verse. Long term solutions to the current state of affairs elude me.

Childcare, housing, climate change, the usual. I'm sort of joking, sort of not. The first two affect 99% of my day to day, the last only when I will run out of water or there's a fire nearby. Edit: in the childcare and education s

That should be in the listing. Pros: immediate painless surprise death in case of nuclear war. Cons: damp, bit of a fixer upper.

At the macro level, if you're the policy-maker and doing the persecuting, stories like this should give you pause. Of course it's survivor bias for the individual.

Yeah I read that one too. That information reflects the current state of affairs, with our current laws and level of enforcement. Imagine a better world. You can look at what other countries do and are successful with as role models.

Ah yes all government policies are inherently doomed to failure and can't have any significant impact. I had forgotten, thank you for reminding me.
