I suspect they can text without looking at their phones -- I know kids could with physical T9 keypads. Having your phone in your lap while looking forward isn't as obvious as staring at your lap is.

The Daily Stormer in 2017 was as you state. However, last year they kicked off 8chan, which was in part due to the El Paso and Dayton shootings according to their blog post about it[0]. I suspect that's what mrtksn is referencing. [0]

This sounds like the 2007 incident[0], but the Wikipedia article doesn't say anything about one going missing. That sounds like the sort of thing that would get added as part of the regular mutation in story transmission, and would lik

If we want to hit zero emissions, the price should be set such that it exactly covers the cost of removing the CO2 from the atmosphere. Of course, if it's cheaper to just not emit that CO2 in the first place (capture it or use a differ

1. "Date Read" UX is terrible: My family was recently shocked to discover that adding a book as read and rating it doesn't automatically set the read date. I don't think it needs to do so, but these people are computer-l

No, it's untrue. Not that white men get paid more--that's true--but that it's an option. I can choose to improve my negotiation skills and my BATNA, so those are options. If you aren't already a white man, being a white
