Australia can and will block your website locally. That's the pressure for you to conform to their laws. You don't have to but they don't have to let their citizens access it either. If Facebook ignored other country's l

The correct person to ask would be a patriotic citizen of one of those countries. People are usually biased towards their own system and have trouble even conceptualizing the motivations behind radically different ones, especially when they

Is a tax or regulation incentive race to the bottom really a bad thing? The residents of those jurisdictions that end up without much tax income and the externalities of the lax regulations so they would suffer and pressure their government

Yes, but that's something overhyped in social media and probably hardly even exists. It's very easy to incorrectly attribute mistreatment to something visible like sex or race. I used to have a workmate who complained everybody ha

Hair style isn't sex. It's personal fashion choice. Some men have big piles of hair too. Eg. tied up dreadlocks.

Nevermind that group nonsense. The same phenomena occur on an individual level. People see you as fitting into some position in a social hierarchy or behavior or ability or whatever and confirm their belief whenever you do something that co

That's nonsense. People had children through the ice age! Poor struggling Africans and Indians keep having children. The people who choose not to have children seem to be contented wealthy professionals. If you're able to keep you

Meteorite strike or supervolcano eruption that we could have protected ourselves against but didn't because of resources spent on nuclear war prevention. Not sure why you added the "within a few hours" qualifier or "inte

Those effects won't cause extinction though because they'll diminish as the population shrinks so it'll reach some equilibrium. This is about extinction, not just lots of people dying. Nuclear winter wouldn't get less ha

Didn't ISIS do that in Iraq and Syria? Kidnapping is also a common way for armed people to get money from others in insecure countries, possibly more than they could get by directly stealing their possessions.

The scale is incredible. That's just the receiver platform suspended in the air that weighs 900 tons, not a tower. It's 100 meters "long", longer than a 747 and 3 times as heavy. It's like a steel road or rail bridg

Well we also don't know what to do about suicide. Just because unsolved problems exist, doesn't mean civilization hasn't improved a lot. You would surely never expect to get to a state with no remaining social problems.

Simple solution is to not try to "solve" anything. Just be accepting of people who hold different opinions. I'm sure you would be tolerant of someone who believes Mohammed was the messenger of God. Nutty beliefs don't ge

Stop worrying. There have been popular conspiracy theories for ages. Aliens abducted by the CIA, JFK assassination, Moon landing hoax, 9/11 truthers, Illuminati, chemtrails, 5G, and the biggest one of all that you'll never escape

It is political. It glorifies war and being the aggressor in war. I my country, it's mainly used to represent the time we tried to invade what is now Turkey and killed a bunch of the locals defending their territory. Anti-war people do

Changing the terms yea, but the practice of selling things as services, no. People are shocked at first because they couldn't imagine ink was a service but eventually, it'll become normal and nobody will get ripped off.

If you've been saying the same thing for a long time, you probably don't understand the situation or aren't listening to people's responses and adapting what you say next time. I can see this below where you're reje

What happens when future people want to use other addresses outside those rules? Tons of software will have been written only ever seeing the limited address range and will have bugs for more general addresses. Some programmers might even f

Not sure about this particular topic, but what you describe does happen. I used to be a schoolteacher and there were instances of students doing sexual dancing, wearing reavealing clothes or flirting. You're startled and make yourself

Blue won the popular vote in all 7 previous elections. It's not very useful or difficult to predict that. If you don't like the electoral college system, go look at what it was negotiated for and also stop wanting whatever that wa

People readily choose to let themselves be exploited. That's why minimum wages are compulsory not negotiable by employees. It's why human trafficking is illegal - the victims choose to be trafficked. It's why unions have comp

Organisms fill every niche on the planet. Any unusual disturbance will kill a lot of them. It doesn't matter. Why do people have this worry about anything changing ever? Nothing will go extinct. Why not be excited about the spectacular

One party has the numbers they need because they need those numbers to be competitive in the current system and have made whatever concessions they needed to to achieve them. If the demographics changed then the parties would adapt so that

Buy expensive pens like Parker. They have refills. Of course the refills cost more than an entire cheap pen, but you want refills, not cheap.

I think you're getting emotionally caught up on the idea of having less plastic. If it was safely and permanently buried, it would be no worse for the environment but cheaper than recycling or using less.

Why are you confusing plastic in the ocean with climate change? To some extent, solutions to each of the two issues exacerbate the other. There's no single right way to manage the environment. That's why nobody is doing it the way
