The author has successfully argued against all of society and every group-mediated advancement ever. It doesn't take a whole lot of thought to figure out that the idea that these things are not worth investing time in does not hold wat

If you've lost that much weight and you can't see it (where others can), that's not normal psychological functioning. That's an eating disorder.

> a reverse ad hominem I think we call this an argument from Ethos. i.e. it leans on what someone is, rather than their persuasiveness (pathos) or how well their argumentation is structured (logos). It is not a particularly strong way to

If you're not going to buy (or rent as it would be), there are no potential profits. This is an angle corporations use to subvert your thinking into the idea that you would have given them money in the first place.

This is extremely long, but the fact of the matter is that these long term plans don't matter anywhere. They're a way for a relatively work-free layer of managers to feel like they have a hand in real work. After the plans are mad

An Americano is a normal cup of coffee with a large amount of water added. It's like a medium-strong tea. I was under the impression it was called that as some sort of disparagement of the US. Is this actually what is regularly consume

Disparaging why someone likes it doesn't make you more right. If anything, attacking their reason for liking it (rather than the relative merits of liking one flavour profile versus another) makes you more wrong: It signifies that you&

You appear to be trying to argue against something, but it reads as "this is a lot of Indian stuff, which is chock-full of spammers". Read like that, it seems like the list is a good one.

Congratulations, you make the internet worse for actual humans and better for corporations. Making the world a net worse place, for everyone that matters.

Everyone should be treated equal. Special treatment for certain things is essentially the entire issue under discussion.

The harm is real, even if you try to ridicule it. None of your refutation is founded on the reality of the harm (or what was claimed, AFAICT). This is called a strawman.

Seeing as they pass through the acid in your stomach (and will denature there, which is the point of your stomach) you must be primarily worried about any of the bits before that. These enzymes are made to go in your mouth. If they dissolve

Talking out of their ass. It is a simple fact of life some folks never floss and basically don't brush while smelling equally minty to folks that floss and brush twice per day. The easiest way to figure out this is true is thinking abo

I disagree. Most people do fine with US-intl keyboards, perhaps with extensions to specific keys such as alt gr to type a few dedicated diacritics or other altered letters. The trouble with regional keyboards is that they frequently move sp

Those keyboards were listed as out of stock when I looked. Perhaps this has changed in the meantime.

More importantly the keyboard is Spanish by default and cannot be changed to a US layout - only the weird localised layouts that (almost) nobody likes. That's easily the weirdest thing about this store for me.

Strictly speaking the backup must be based on what you actually have bought (i.e. if you strip the DRM from your purchase and store that, that's fine). That means you cannot download essentially an identical copy, that's still nau

The whole reason laws exist is because we recognise not everyone can be trusted to act in a decent manner. The law gives us a way to codify what "decent" means and to explain to folks what we expect of them (as well as consequence

When the sidewalks are melted, it becomes waste heat. The rest of the year, it is waste heat. No matter how cold it is, if you accidentally leak heat it is wasteful - even if the side effect is something you may otherwise want.

Having a choice you can make that you need to spend some time really thinking about to understand doesn't mean you have to take that choice away from someone. If you do, you implicitly say that you are better than whoever got to make t

We recognise that in people the internal state is fundamentally unknowable. That is why we judge them first on what they do and second on why they did it (if we can figure it out at all). Corporations are often judged the other way around w
