I believe your phrase "for doing journalism" is what the debate is truly about here. We would have to have information about the full context of each of the journalist's and police's actions to make a justifiable judgeme

Which statistics are these, please provide! They must be both very detailed and very massaged to get a result as generic as "cops are racist" (a mindset that requires significantly more information than provided by mere statistics

I believe online interaction can be a mild substitute for real interaction, even through a forum like this, but it requires that it be the same people interacting (and for the interaction to be pleasant). Me writing this here isn't t

While I and many others have issues with King's apparent inability to end a story and his editors' not saying "no" enough, one thing I have actively noticed in his writing is that I never get hung up on overuse specific

In order to provide examples of "race-baiting propaganda" as I called it, we would have to first agree on what constitutes race-baiting and propaganda. I assume we can agree that propaganda is material designed to sway an opinion,

I listen to NPR a lot while driving. For several years now, I have been keeping a sort of mental rally of the topics discussed, after noticing a trend. At least 9 out of 10 segments (other than news or programs like Wait Wait Don't Tel

I tend to agree, and I think that is also why no such further checks were issued. Pelosi would not let Trump have that win, at the expense of the people's wellbeing, and the play worked. Not sure how supporters justify that with all th

It is hard to find evidence of abuse when practically every attempt to look into it is met with refusal and/or claims that it is not probable.

I believe you are correct, specifically about the label; allowing a mental health concern to be your identity, or even just part of it, can be more disabling than the problem itself. It also allows many people who would otherwise find ways

The shy Tory factor[0] is likely to be even stronger this year than in 2016 when it comes to polls. After 4+ years of being harangued and called every name in the book by the vast majority of national culture (movies, music, TV, news, socia

Except that's exactly how most masks people wear do NOT work; they serve simply to prevent large particles (spittle) to move too far from their origin. Yeah there are better masks/SCBAs, but even common use and enforcement of some

I experience the same, just did it in fact! My ears popped (without yawning) and I didn't realize they needed to equalize but damn if I don't feel more alert now that that's done.

In many places where people live in apartments/condos, and in many states ( cough California), you need to have quite a bit of infrastructure to legally do many repairs for cars. Sure, you can get away with draining your oil into a pa

I wonder whether it would suffice to just have a link to the NSFW/L "Unmoderated" version and remove only that which has valid legal complaints (e.g. DMCA) or illegal content (which should also be made very clear by the lawma

I think the Revenger series is intended to be more Young Adult level stuff. The Revelation Space series has a lot of good stuff, but also takes pains to not overly explain every tech advance. Diamond Dogs is my all time favorite, even if it

I would add that if voting/protesting isn't enough to feel like it's "doing something" there is always the option of fixing things from within. I know that's a bit of a fairy tale idea for many, and few seem to

I've never commented before so I had to make an account for this. Hopefully it doesn't get flagged, but that's the risk of lurking I guess. The rest of this post is anecdotal and perhaps fairly unusual, so forgive the lack of
