Couldn't agree more. Seems like a lot of people on here think that low-income earners eat off of the McD's dollar menu by choice.

OPEC has gambled several times in the last decade on future oil prices (and not always won).

Why not just write something in Python or C#? I don't see a purpose to learning an auxiliary language like Bash anymore when modern high-level languages are so ergonomic.

Is that what conservatives believe? Or is that what you think they believe?

How is the company to beat not Amazon? AWS is a money machine and they're the worldwide leader by a huge amount, no?

I wish this narrative would die. It's probably true that there's not enough housing but it's also true that AirBNB is sucking up many of the vacancies and apartment ownership consolidation is allowing owners to endure vacanci

Other countries just don’t understand the reality of how much bigger the US is than them. Also it’s always a stab against America and not Canada or Australia, both of which share the same problems of size.

Everything makes sense now. I’ve wondered for years why they’ve dragged their feet with Safari and your hypothesis fits. I wonder if MS followed the same line of reasoning in the 00s.

Apple might have genuinely murdered the entire market if they hadn’t insisted on their ridiculous exclusivity plan with AT&T. Whichever Apple exec greenlit that must surely have been an industrial saboteur because it saved 5+ other comp

Which is weird because Dobbs was a rebuke of ambiguity in the Constitution. There’s no ambiguity in “separation of church and state”. However, if I was a conservative, I’d want to distance myself from Dobbs as far as possible because t

WaPo is on the same level as FOX News in my opinion. The NYT is on that level as well.

It's possible that Popehat's Law of Goats applies here. Even if Mackey was totally joking about what he was doing, he was still engaged in voter suppression.

I’m not a huge fan of the death penalty myself but I don’t see a meaningful difference between the death penalty and life imprisonment. I’m quite confident that there are far more frequent errors in incarceration with life imprisonment than

The death penalty isn't common at all. I'm seeing 18 individuals for 2022 and also that 2022 was the eighth consecutive year with less than 30 individuals served the death penalty. I'm finding it hard to believe that many mis

You say that but it's a bit tough to care if you don't see it happen. It's possible for everyone here to be the subject of a meme somewhere of a picture taken without consent. However, it just feels tough to care unless you a

If you were to go about changing copyright law, I have to imagine you’d only be able to change it for your nation’s works while still respecting the duration from other countries. In that case, copyright reform wouldn’t have helped this guy

Quite the opposite! Scalia had a great speech[0] where he argued that our Constitution is weak compared to other nations of history but had outlived those nations because of its slow nature to act. The point being, it doesn't matter ho

DeSantis doesn't have any policy wins to his name outside of the FPRE act and the Disney business. Neither of those things are enough to carry someone to the presidency. Even Romney had his healthcare program to hang his hat on.

Trump's specific claims were wrong but elections are readily hackable using a variety of methods. There are numerous YouTube videos showing how to hack election machines that are in use today. It's so frustrating that the DNC shoo

Is ProtonMail really the gold standard of secure communication these days? Seems like Signal was the previous go-to for jobs like this.

On the other hand, Windows is on a lot of computers these days. They may be making absurd amounts of money off of this arrangement.

Until you have an unlocked wheel, you don’t know what you’re missing out on. On the other hand, gestures in Firefox, specifically “Scroll to Bottom”, have made me miss mine less. Also, unlocked scroll wheels get you banned within seconds on
