Even if we accept your statement as 100% universal truth, there is still the question whether we want our government collecting information about adults vising these sites. I don't want the government snooping on my porn habits (and pr

How will that help? Sounds like a behavioral issue that requires correction, not a punitive response. If every rude student got expelled, there wouldn't be many left in school.

If you're affluent enough to mitigate the negative effects of no zoning, sure -- i.e., able to afford different housing if needed. If you lack that financial security, you may be stuck next to all sorts of undesirable properties, like

The byproducts of cannabis combustion are certainly not healthy, but the saving grace is that even the heaviest weed smokers inhale far less smoke than cigarette smokers. And unlike tobacco, safer alternatives exist -- vaping doesn't r

Not to be a downer, but that sounds nothing like Jay Z. He's not known as a simile rapper ("X like Y"). It's more what your uncle who only listens to country music thinks Jay Z sounds like. It's still impressive in

I know you're not making those statements in good faith, but I'll still push back against the absurd generalizations. Of the top 20 biggest cities in America, what you said only applies to a couple of them at most. Of course, crim

Maybe if you don't leave a paper trail. If you use a written medium to communicate failure, there is a good chance that will be exposed during discovery in a lawsuit, and now the plaintiffs can show that not only was there a problem, b

Sounds like you're describing RT America, which operated unimpeded until fiscal realities forced it to withdraw from the country. Was it a scummy network? Yes. Was it protected by 1A? Also yes.

Where's the hysteria? Stating that lead pipes are relatively widespread isn't hysteric. In most cases, lead pipes are harmless, although if the chemical composition of the water changes, that can lead to dangerous lead leaching (s

Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say anything about fixing human endeavor. I am only asking what alternative explanation you offer for the demographic discrepancy, if not structural inequality. As for measuring the demographi

Yes, much better to blindly believe an anecdote that contradicts known food science.

> So while it's not false to say that "Lead pipes are still used in every US state" it's also not provably true. Right? All you'd need to do to prove the statement is find one in-service lead pipe in each state.

I suspect employers are more interested in attracting talent by _appearing_ to pay highly than by actually doing so.

While I am supportive of this, I expect a lot (majority?) of listings with ranges like "$40k-200k based on experience". (Or the example from the article, "$17-50/hr")

How does this opinion contribute positively to the discussion at hand? It feels like an excuse to just shoehorn in your hot take.

Yep, that seems like the sales pitch: 5% more profit, plus absolve yourself from any potential guilt caused by your actions! You aren't contributing to an affordability crisis -- you're simply keeping up with market changes. You a

It also matters what type of conversation is being had. I'm more of a waiter than interrupter, who lives with a strong interrupter. If we're having a debate or discussing the newest silly thing in the news or whatever, it's n

I must be missing some context, then. It's unclear to me how pseudocode would be used in e-voting?

I'm a product of one of the shittiest public schools in my state. While I attended, they were forced by the state to convert to an "international baccalaureate" school because the alternative was closing. I say that because y

Ugh, can we please stop with these damaging stereotypes about bi people? There are plenty of acceptable ways to be bisexual, and while some people might fit the boxes you described, there are lots who don't. These antiquated views are

I can't relate. I quickly tire of the filler ("B matter", according to the article) in American news stories, and appreciate the simplified nature of Axios-like sites. I'm not saying I _exclusively_ want hyper-condensed
