Who are these "animal rights people"? Do they really all think as a monolith? Is it fair to characterize each individual with any concern for animal rights as "one of them"?

Creative! This reminds me of FreeCiv maps with the 'flat earth topology' option turned on. The edge of the earth must be long enough to encompass the earth. So the folks using that argument must imagine Antarctica as _huge_, thoug

This thread is really eye opening, culturally. Aside from some devout paleo people, I've never known a single omnivore who doesn't routinely have meatless meals, without even giving it much thought. Having meat with every dinner

"We may need meat, but we don't need meat in every meal" Is it still a common belief that we 'need meat'? I thought it was well established that humans in normal health do not _need_ meat to thrive - especially with

Good work at devil's advocate. Maybe you can help me with this -- how can someone be a flat earther in the absence of any evidence of any edge to the surface of the earth? What is the counter argument to this?

Not spherical, rather spheroid. Oblate spheroid.

While there is something to be said for seeing things in a positive light, and accepting that which you cannot change -- the fact remains: these people vote! They are a clear threat to rational policy making. Also, their children are often

The parent comment is factual. Your comment presumes motive.

The word "cold" on that comment only emphasizes your biases.

Well, it is partly Apple's fault in that they chose to go completely type c only, and that they chose not to provide the right sets of clearly marked and explained adapters that would be guaranteed to work with their hardware.

> You can tell people that they're an enfranchised in-group... This is not (and should not be) very meaningful for the individual.

I definitely shouldn't have said 'coined', since coining usually refers to the first time that the term is used in a particular way. I have no idea if white nationalists coined the term. I meant to say: 'brought the ter

I agree it is not reasonable to say Milo is a white supremacist, in fact they seem to hate him. This says something, I think, about how the term alt right is used. While white supremacists coined the term, they clearly don't own it an

The term "alt right" is used so inconsistently by the media, the term has become nearly meaningless. There appear to be many people who consider themselves 'alt right' who have no interest in 'white identity.'

Facetious? Being flippant about a serious subject?

I love the use of technology, but can't get excited about the NYT, specifically, being a "media-tech powerhouse 10x what it is now" given their lack of ethics.

I have to agree. It could be argued that websites like Vox harm our democracy more than Facebook.

I'm not sure where Samsung and Xiaomi are with this, but software can be used to accurately evaluate whether touches near the bezel are intended as UI events (vs simply holding or picking up the phone).

His statement was literally correct, and useful in highlighting a different perspective on what is known to be known. The negativity seems to stem from not taking it literally.

I was unaware of point 12. Trump is the only major party candidate in my lifetime who might actually do something as awesome as #12. I am still leaning towards a third-party candidate, but that does complicate my dislike for Trump. Thank

Clinton has inclusionary polices?? Can you explain what you mean? She is not as rude and crude as Trump, but she is divisive in her own way.

Your speculations about the other party's motives are completely inappropriate to a reasoned discussion.
