I wonder who the primary audience is intended to be? I would think future societies at the point these sites could be lost (thousands of years per the article's suggested readability) to common knowledge would have tech to scan/de

I think its a combination of a few things. First I think there are automod policies that use keywords in these conroversial topics to throttle. Second I think an ugly truth people don't want to admit is tech is heavily slanted to his s

I've heard the same said about r/the_donald etc. That argument falls flat when an overarching theme is a reality. Terrible people always try and lump themselves in with the truly innocent who are oppressed to engender sympathy as

I agree and its disheartening to see the amount of responses in opposition. There is a massive number of comments on this post compared to most social topics, or ANY topic for that matter, and a lot of them are arguing it's wrong or ba

Tangentially related tip: Inside most modern car keyfobs there is an "emergency" physical key...or should be (recently saw one where the space was empty as the dealer had failed to include it) It's not marked or obvious from

What is a workable answer when it comes to behavior and speech other than a rules based society with limits? I don't see truly oppressed people talking about this problem as the concept was meant to protect, I see people who want to be

I know it's nostalgia speaking but the turn of the century was such a cool time with tech for me. I remember coveting a Psion after speak to a journalist that used one to file stories from remote areas though some kludged link up with

What would be the alien/human equivalent of an airplane that natives in uncontacted areas shot arrows at? I can't come up with a believable example for the aliens to be discussing back at home base.

I apologize if it seemed like a personal jab. I am admittedly sensitive to the issue given my experiences on both sides of the proverbial exam table in the American system. Every time I try and discuss the issue with people in my area they

Every time this discussion comes up people tell stories of "things they heard" but I hear very little first hand experience that validates them. I have had discussions in the past with my very right wing relatives about social hea

I can tell him exactly what happens. You are priced out of the "privilege" of healthcare. You try to make do. Manage as you can with your savings, work you can get and maintain, as the effects of the medical issue continue to limi

You are getting backlash because it seems mean to wish suffering on anyway, and never funny, but honestly I have learned this is the only way most people acquire empathy, though personal suffering. Even then a large number still find a way

Yeah I was quoted 3500usd cash price recently and that was with the "generous" cash pay/uninsured discount of 10% and a lower income community hospital. Needless to say I did not get the scan. That's how it goes here. I

The guy in my story had no voluntary movements so Morse wouldn't have helped. But memorizing: .-.. . - -- . -.. .. . Could be useful. *Cannot format it properly sorry.

This has to be a "worst nightmare" for most people. I came across a guy a very long time ago who had been in a long term care unit after an auto accident for something like 15 years at that point. The story I was told, and I don&#

That's very cool thank you. I seem to recall an astronaut on the ISS making something kind of related with parts on hand...Don Pettit I think? *Found it: https://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2

I love those books. I always seem drawn to these super expensive technical hobbies like astronomy and photography that are out of reach. You just cannot do them well cheaply and I've wasted money in the past on crap telescopes etc. The

I've developed a fascination with astrophotography, one day hope to have a camera that can manage more than pinpoints/streaks/black noise, and while I always liked to go look at the stars on clear nights the technical aspects

I'd love to be disposed of in a cool and eco-friendly way. Give the nutrients back to nature so to speak. I'd be fine with just being tossed in a bog etc and letting things eat away. But rules and all...even the most basic no fril

I wonder if this is something to do with their implementation, because in every place I have lived and been with trams the trams were faster than buses since buses were stuck in auto traffic. I love trams and trains. Tracklife for me.

Nein danke. I cannot envision the "future board" well enough to play NORMAL chess very effectively. I cannot imagine not being able to see the enemy pieces at all.

It's not just about dying. It's about living. I have had minimal to no access to quality medical care in America since I went through this. I have had to choose NOT to seek care for things I needed to because I cannot pay for it.

Thanks for the kindness. I know there are good people out there. I know even being poor you can have joy. I have moments of it...my cat...photography...a small number of people I love...but its not enough when you can't get off Maslow&

I've found the sort of people who deny my experience, who blame me, ALWAYS discount how much luck has played in their own life and success. They all believe its entirely due to their effort and deserving. I used to try and convince the
