Feels like the opposite to me. "6,300%" looks weird as we're expecting to see percentages used for numbers much smaller than that. "63 times more" would prompt a visceral reaction. "6,300%" at first looks

I'm a decade more "boomer" than that and I've literally seen that happen consistently since the 1990s so I think you're just becoming more aware of it. "Don't ask to ask, just ask" and "explain w

Ireland is trying to attract overseas businesses by being as "business friendly" as possible even if it means shafting local businesses and workers. This includes half-assing any EU regulations to the fullest extent possible and h

The difference is that precedent can guide a judge's decision, it doesn't force it. Likewise in civil law the judge isn't simply a referee, they're meant to actively investigate. While in common law lawyers get to do a

The full article is paywalled (or login-walled at least) so I'm left to wonder if there's some absurd alternative explanation like those graves not being intended as intimidation but rather to confront the parents of those childre

That's not a contradiction, that's a qualification. Anarcho-syndicalism is a form of anarchism. Anarchism only means the structures can't be hierarchical systems of domination. Even egoism allows for bottom-up organizing. I&#

I think this is the source video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urVolzJS_Ws It also explains why she strangely looks past the camera as the original was framed as an interview with the camera below eye level.

I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to but the closest thing I'm aware of is video calls in Germany where you are asked to show your ID card. Those certainly wouldn't be easy to fool without being able to do this

The replication problem does not mean your gut feeling or pre-existing biases are more reliable than potentially flawed or invalid studies.

What does it mean to "own land" when there is no state or private army to manifest that claim? It sounds like you're thinking in terms of "anarcho-capitalism" which tries to maintain the idea of private property wit

This is why most anarchists are heavily invested in the idea of prefiguration, i.e. forming horizontal structures and support networks BEFORE trying to overthrow the state or creating autonomous zones etc. Because otherwise you just create

Why do you think they can't explain it with their own words? What's the point of trying to write out an explanation of why a claim that has been debunked so many times is wrong when they don't know why you think it isn't

Sure. If you ignore the definition of hierarchy the video uses and go out of your way to misinterpret what he says. If you're not clear on this (Engels certainly wasn't, as his infamous essay "On Authority" demonstrates)

There have been literally studies that demonstrate that yes, not only does power corrupt but it literally makes you dumber (i.e. it reduces your ability to feel empathy for others). The problem with hierarchies of domination is not that the

Profitability does not depend on "what the consumer wants". It depends on what you can sell. Usually selling the consumer what they want is the most naive and least profitable way of doing that. If business were only concerned wit

I recall a panic about us running out of helium a few years ago followed by abrupt silence as the increased cost of helium led to more helium being salvaged from natural gas extraction. It's one of those rare cases where you can litera

Specifically they say there's an Android device for monitoring/controlling the pump that was taken out by this. That seems more plausible given that it likely isn't exactly running the newest version of everything.
