   I say this without snark, but the only way I can imagine someone actually thinks this, is because that someone is not well read on history, or holds values that were more in vogue to be "traumatized" for in such past generations.

   There are certain branches of communism that do believe in forced work for bad elements (criminals for example) of society. I don't believe any mainstream US or Europe politician approximates communism, even less that branches. My take

   As far as I know (my wife is an emergency physician), despite what the name suggest, CPR is not really for "bringing back". Is a technique to keep the blood flowing so the brain doesn't suffer damage until other techniques ar

   As a Stallman fan, I belive most of us would agree with you that this is how things should be, but ultimately would dismiss your point as utopian because the primary objection is that big companies are not really investing in (F)OSS. Like w

   This seems to me like a story about viral marketing rather than about piracy. For my experience from the time where I spent more time on leisure sites and fandom sites, it's pretty likely we would organize a scavenger hunt and had a lo

   >"Healthy" society is a weasel word here though: a qualifier that turns this into a "no true scotsman". >In this one, and most real societies, hospitals do want people to visit more often. Their incentives are gear

   I might be wrong, but it was my understanding that sex work was a legal and regulated activity in only some parts of Europe, but it's indeed not illegal on most of the countries. Something like cannabis in Amsterdam, where the police j

   It's an interesting topic but I also find bizarre the relation with modern policy. I'm both amused and horrified with the idea on the full sentence where your quote is portrayed: >Theologians followed the teachings of Saint Aug

    Maybe that's a notable fact because markets are equivocally equated with capitalism. Mutualism[1] is also a socialist economic theory and is a form of market socialism[2] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutualis

    I was told even by cousins and close family that "reading so much would make me a fag" and that I should play more soccer. And certainly didn't help my academic career when the bullying I suffered stopped when I started behav

    It's impossible to not have the translator on the way. Even if you reduce the translation to words and sentences, the are plenty of ways to translate a word or a sentence that while being gramatically correct, could alter the meaning,

    Maybe it was my configuration, but the reason I switched from vim to emacs, was that I was debugging some large log files that made vim choke. I read a comment praising that behavior and I was surprised to see that it was the case, more so

    Not really, I still find lots of errors on recounts of past events. Aside from a few articles, that almost always come from rare good journalists, I don't really see any research on most news media, not for recent events, nor for histo

    I had the exact same experience, but then about 2 weeks ago, one of my favourite albums got deleted of All Music. So I had to search the disc, rip it, and then upload it to my account, which works for now but certainly put a dent in the exp

    I concur with this. I decided that I would not enforce a time limitation on screen time, but actually forced myself to be parted of my kids activities, either in or outside of screen time, and in fact he doesn't really care much about

    Will the demand of software in the economy go down? Unlikely. Could the economy itself go down? I'm betting it will. My take is that we currently have bullshit economy, and that the software industry is a big part of that bullshit econ

    You also have to account for the fact that other people might think you're lazy or self centered because you don't want to spare some time to at least try to help them. Not saying that you're a bad person for refusing to prov

    1 corporations are not people. Analogies should only be made when there's an actual similarity point. 2 if you're making that point, there's still a difference between action and omission. Nobody would held you accountable if

    Unless you're using something like a smart card as identity with gpg-agent, then you won't have a private key file. Because of that, you can specify a public key file to identify this private key.

    This kind of exercise might be entertaining and maybe even useful for you as an individual, but I find it harmful for society as a whole. There are plenty of arguments against creating ad hoc rationalization for this kind of stuff, but I tr

    Headphones also work as psychological deterrent. I don't really care much about sound, but I do care about the talkative guy who comes with a absurd issue just to make small talk.
