Yup. I think things have to get bad for non-poor whites before there are any changes. You can see this happening right now with the opiate pandemic. When that negativity outweighs the perceived positivity of our de facto segregationist

No, I'm saying that you don't have to be visibly drunk to be stopped by police, especially if you're a minority.

I expect civilized people to behave in civilized manners, but police are not civilized in this country--they have too much power and no consequences. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and what's more absolute than being able to murder

I too had a cop play chicken with me in his SUV while I was peacefully standing on the sidewalk. I'm not surprised to find out it's happened to someone else. There were actually at least a dozen people there. Anyone else would hav

"If you're so drunk that you'd get pulled over as a pedestrian, then you most certainly should not be driving." Or you could just be walking while black (or hispanic, etc.).

Your fist mistake is expecting anyone in America to care about your suffering. Your second mistake is not realizing that the cops don't give a shit about your money or your color once they've targeted you. Yes, they certainly do p

Not very different from the US. "For 2012, the US Department of Justice reported a 93% conviction rate." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conviction_rate In the US you can have your cake and eat it too: get s

It could also be because in the US there is no alternative. You do have the Republican party that calls itself conservative but is so only in name. Conservative means cruelty, hate, and stupidity in America. These are people who pride thems

The stupidity in America never ceases to amaze.

The revolution might be digitized, but if it does indeed happen, I'm afraid it will also be bloody as hell, as almost all revolutions are. I suppose some things never change.

Yes. And interestingly enough, we're certainly not the only species with morality, so the idea that Moses has to bring morality is even more absurd because of this widespread biological base that spreads far beyond humans.

That's like saying schizophrenia is compatible with anything because it's not based on reason, which is obviously not true as some people who have it cannot navigate the world at all.

Waterfall is still the right choice for many products. The fact that the author can't even acknowledge that shows how little he understands about software development. The whole article is mainly a bunch of garbage from one narrow mind

I don't understand why people consider sex a moral issue. This is a deeply personal issue and when done between consenting adults affects no one else. Why should it matter with whom one has sex with if all parties consent? It seems to

QBasic offers structured programming. QBasic has both subroutines and functions and the IDE actually displays them in their own window, separate from the main program and other subroutines and functions. It also has if blocks, loops, etc. I

Apple forces you if you want to get music onto your devices. But I agree. It's total shit without a single redeeming quality. Now it's just malware.

Once again we have criminal action covered by the CFAA completely ignored by the government because a large corporation is doing it. Serving malware knowingly? No problem. Overstepping your access and deleting files that aren't yours?

I assume the whole thing goes down when left-pad or some other trivial dependency can't be resolved.

Who cares? They'll accept it eventually. And if they don't, it won't matter because they'll have no choice. This isn't an election. Self driving cars are coming and they will reduce accident rates amongst many, many

Yup. It's impossible to be overly paranoid about any government. Too bad the people who didn't realize this when it mattered are no longer with us because they're imprisoned, dead, or missing. Maybe growing up in the US w

Oh please. There are thousands of Angular guides out there. Some people don't use the official documentation, especially when it's as shitty as Angular's is.

Considering how often healthcare professionals work without sleep is this surprising? Nothing short of ordering sleep and preventing professionals who haven't slept from working will really put a dent in this problem. And the only thin

Slightly off topic, but I wanted to use a password manager and installed Lastpass Premium. Great, except for the fact that it won't update passwords and often times fills in the wrong password despite my verifying that it actually stor

What the author discovered is really shitty defaults for Angular. Most software is like that. Don't blame the developers using the software, blame the Angular developers for choosing shitty defaults. Instead of choosing production read

My parents and aunts/uncles did indeed do this to get to school in the 50's in Eastern Europe. The school was in a different town so they had no choice.

Exercise really is great and should be tried before anything else. It's the only thing that I've found that works for me in a reliable, safe way. As far as SSRIs and Wellbutrin (which is not an SSRI like the chart states), I can c

Worse how? How can it be worse than a government that isn't run by the people? I'd rather the government doesn't get anything done than the current situation where the government doesn't get anything done and the only fo

Using a poll to determine history's greatest philosophers leads me to believe that the author knows little to nothing about philoshopy. Also, it's simply an assumption to say that most great philosophers are ancient. Further, the

I've always thought this. Limit all representatives, especially the president, to one term. That way they have no motivation to waste their time and our money on getting reelected. You don't even need to touch age then. If you the
