It is important as a community that we are aware of the criteria, both claimed and actual, which guide the moderation of our community. Statements like this give people like me an opportunity to research and learn more about the decision ma

It's absurd to claim that LGBTQ+ activism is about fighting for the rights of everyone who is harrassed, targeted, and discriminated against. The set of groups has expanded, but there are still groups being left out.

The author says elsewhere that he has (paraphrased) gotten in trouble with hacker news for linking to it in the past.

No. I only hike and camp intermittently, but I wear north face clothing in a wide range of circumstances because I find it to be effective, durable, energy efficient when washed and dried, and packable.

I'm confused by this argument. Of course the steps from 'insane belief' and 'act perceived as immoral' can involve specific steps of reasoning which seem morally correct within the context of the insane belief. Th

The amount of energy lost in this circumstance is too small to invest effort into reclaiming it. It is unlikely to be both cheaper than lead and equally reliable. One day we may find a commercial use for this, but replacing lead with fungi

I agree that the quality of self reflection, and the quality of the outcome, varies. There is difference between having the ability to self-reflect, and having a proclivity to self-reflect. Neither is the same as doing so effectively, and n

Yes! Anecdotally, I have known people with similar issues who were helped by mushrooms or mdma. They seem to experience some fundamental change in their perspective. However, that benefit came with one or maybe a few trips, not ongoing cons

Your definition is so simple. So clear. So absolute. Nearly everyone is capable of self reflection. To think that an individual is categorically incapable of it is to deny them their humanity.

I've also experienced physical hardship which helped me to become far more patient and tolerant of physical hardship, but not at all more patient or tolerant with people. I think it's a mistake to treat 'humility' as if

Yes, Arlo also makes good battery operated cameras. They are higher quality than Blink cameras, with higher resolution. On the other hand, Blink cameras have better battery life.

Salmonella in the US is [more often] due to greens [than] chicken. Do you have any data on rates of salmonella from chicken, specifically, in both regions? Edit: "Chicken, beef and pork account for just 33% of salmonella poisonings in
