You can debate the exact statistics all you want, but to anyone not well off right now, both in the US and the UK, it's pretty clear there's a growing cost of living crisis and governments are failing to address it. Frankly a lot

That's a pretty radical claim. Do you have any sources? edit: so many downvotes from asking a simple question

Well, you're right that this isn't journalism per se. But it's not trying to be, so your comment is a bit weird. Nobody is confusing the ACLU with CNN.

I'm not talking about cultural differences. I'm talking about people simply being assholes online. You will always have a group of people complaining about the rules, that is inevitable.

"virtues" is just a loaded word now unfortunately.

by hexator 11mo ago
"enforce a set of virtues" is a weird way of saying "enforcing basic decency". Let's be clear here, people who are rightfully banned are always going to complain. Our opinions as the majority who DO want decent conv

This person doesn't seem aware of their contradictions in both complaining about people not following diverse viewpoints and also downright dismissing any amount of self-reflection that might be coming from people to their left.

That's true, the point I was making was that it's about you decide to trust with sending you news not just the outlet. The problem is that many people who are rightfully distrustful of traditional media end up following cranks. An

Not sure what the point of this is other than to complain about being out of touch with the world. Too many people think "diversifying your information" means subscribing to whatever drivel they find on substack instead of, you kn

I find it to be a dangerous ideology since it can effectively be used to justify anything. I joined an EA group online (from a popular YouTube channel) and the first conversation I saw was a thread by someone advocating for eugenics. And it

Telling poor people we're living in an era of abundance is not a little bit tone deaf. Also, having a car doesn't make one not poor— A car in America is not a luxury, it's a requirement to have a job in most places.

Understanding poverty starts with empathy. People thinking that "poor is a mindset" are lacking in that. It's not that simple! You can't just mind your way out of poverty! This isn't a math problem.

The only rail privatization success story, that being the rail system in Japan, for some reason is not replicated much elsewhere. You make money on development, not running trains. You will never make money on public transportation, nor sho

From reading some of the reactions to this post, this quote comes to mind by Upton Sinclair: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” There are a lot of people here who hav

The cost to create content is not zero. People across the board are underestimating the cost to run AI.

Solarpunk with capitalism is kinda missing the point IMO.

If you read the post, you would learn that it only reports on news from the same day.

He didn't say anything violent and you are spreading misinformation saying he is. That is why your comment got removed. You can watch the monologue here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-j3YdxNSzTk&t=122s

It's sad this racist crap is so upvoted here...

You can find good content on almost any platform. The problem is when the negatives become so overwhelming, in your face, and hard to ignore, that you feel like it's moving away from what you want it to be. It's not hard to find g

In my experience a lot of these kinds of messed up priorities tend to come from managers and PMs, not engineers. A lot of engineers would find it a fun challenge to support old devices and optimize the hell out of your app, but they just ar

Besides the fact that the story is an example, is fully made up, and you clearly didn't read the actual article: what an incredibly out of touch response.
