And the news traveled pretty quickly to so many different subreddits before the ban wave. All the subs that had a chance of getting banned were making posts warning about an upcoming ban, and I even saw a post in r/againsthatesubreddit

The difference is you can just wait out US presidents. The US is significantly slower at getting things done, and for the most part everything the US does is going to be at risk of going public through whistle-blowers or the freedom of info

Yeah I feel you. The problem is that the majority of white people agree with you, and do not believe its okay to use hate against them. However, there is a minority of white people who think they can speak for their whole race and will atta

While I disagree with the BLM movement, I think that All Lives Matter was an obvious attempt to rile up people and create unneeded conflict. I don't know what you are referring to when it comes to subtext, as it seems that the ALM move

"The more you can punish people who are broken socially the more they learn" Punishing a kid is not going to help them get over the fact that their mom abuses them or they don't have a dad or that they are not safe in their n

I agree with you. If you are a child then you are almost entirely dependent on your home and school environment for cues on social development. If a child is bullying another kid then you can almost guarantee it is a problem with their home

Well it also due to the fact that cardio exercise is one of the few ways to naturally improve one's reaction time. It is crazy though to see how many e-sports players are actually insanely muscular. I think it is most obvious in csgo w

The human voice is the original musical instrument, and humans have evolved to specifically listen to the human voice. I love the piano, but I don't think it is a stretch to say that for humans, the human voice is the ultimate instrume
