No, they don't. They pick on people and pretend it's justice.

Frankly, security should not be the top priority of a small startup, unless you deal with extremely sensitive data. I'm not sure it should make the top five. Off the top of my head, survival, product dev, growth, hiring and infra are a

The proof that there were no domesticable animals in the new world is that...no animals besides the llama [0] were domesticated. People lived here for tens of thousands of years. If something could have been domesticated, it would have, bec

Why would you consider that not to be normal? Humans have plenty of inherent physical flaws - we have terrible backs and knees, for example. Also, plenty of other countries have similar adoption of ADs. There was no magic beforetime when we

I'm sorry, but your cousin's mom's goofy nickname for them is not a relevant anecdote. I have been on several and I'm speaking from experience. They do not make you happy. They do not induce euphoria. What they do is rel

I'm literally telling you word for word what my doctor told me, my guy. Also, this rant is hilariously incorrect. You...do know that manufacturers continue to collect reports on side effects outside of clinical trials, right?

The suicide warning for AD is misleading. They don't _cause_ suicidal thoughts, but they can give you energy and the ability to function before they start lifting mood. So if you're already suicidal, you can regain the ability to

Most psych meds are not addictive, in the sense that they don't give you a high to be abused. You have to titrate off a lot of them, but that's true of a lot of drugs and that's also not addiction. Benzos _are_ potentially ad

It says nothing. They don't "scramble" your brain, or artificially make you happy, or any of the other ignorant things people have said. You are exactly the same person on AD as you are off of them. This is like pretending th

The suicide warning for antidepressants is misleading. They don't cause it, but what happens is antidepressants start giving you more energy and more ability to function before it starts helping with mood. So if you're already sui

Because the old world had plagues (diseases that spread fast and kill) and the new world did not. Plagues and pandemics are zoonotic, and the new world just didn't have any domesticable animals except llamas.

It's not the "easy route". It's a route that _works_. Saying it's "medicated happiness" is ridiculous fearmongering. Antidepressants do not make you happy. They do not change how you think or how you act.

Of all the things to criticize them for, "a minor decrease in toil" is a weird one.

My guy, I believe the enemy already knows about our WWII-era "large truck" technology. It's fine. You don't want either of those things in a widely used military vehicle. Soldiers do not need to die because they're

Yes, they absolutely do. There are some serious penalties if you overstay your visa.

None of that is bloat. It's all necessary once you get past the tinkertoy stage. Also, they aren't building features. The only features that rolled out are the ones that were already done. They haven't released anything.

Complaining about media coverage of science is an ice cold take. It's been a problem for decades. The other problem with complaining about "miracle cures" is cancer isn't one disease, it's many. And we _have_ made h

See, this is what I mean. You have an extremely cynical, corrosive view of relationships, and it leads you to post things like this and assume other people are angry, too. Relationships aren't something you acquire, they're someth

Because it's not true?

If you want to do them, fine. But they're not going to make you successful at relationships, because everything about them has to do with you .

Oh, I read it. I'm commenting on what you chose to emphasize and what you left out, because that speaks volumes about what you value. Almost all of the advice was around superficial, self-centered things. All of it was about you gettin

The problem is y'all keep trying to run last century's playbook. Relationships are no longer transactional. The age of the breadwinner and provider are over. Women are no longer forced to stay home while you toil in the mines or w

No, trying to better yourself is fine. Following that advice isn't bettering yourself, you're essentially just doing the human version of SEO. You aren't becoming a better or kinder or more interesting person, nor are you wor

It's not just inhumane, it's some wild ignorance of how addiction actually works. It's easy to get someone to stop taking drugs. It's much harder to stop them from picking the addiction back up once you let them go. Addi

No, he's the ceremonial head of state. There's a polite fiction that all power comes from him, but he can't actually make anyone do anything. If he tried, people would say no. If he insisted, he'd get tossed out on his e

Of course you can. You can write about hobbits, make youtube videos discussing them, whatever. There's a lot of fanfic on hobbits out there. You can make fun of hobbits. If you want to use copyrighted characters and it's not fair

SLAPP suits are filed by the defendant, ie the person who said the thing. They're a response to being sued. If a lawsuit is clearly bogus, you can get it thrown out extremely quickly and the other side usually has to pay your attorneys

Canada does a lot of things better than the US, but not free speech. Canadian law on is nowhere near as protective as the US. Defamation has a much lower standard there. Defamation with public figures in the US is next to impossible to wi

Because there's no rational or non-ideological way to deny the holocaust. The evidence is literally overwhelming. The only reason people deny it is because of anti-semitism.
