In this case, I think it is reasonable to demand that a white guy, a black guy, and a female all receive same wages. But the situation where a black guy is hired by a rich and powerful boss, so nobody dares questioning his wages for the fea

Should Israel also be under more criticism than other (very) close US allies, e.g. Saudi Arabia?

Any claim to fair and equal treatment can be dismissed with "whataboutism". "Why I [female/transgender/black/etc.] receive half of what that straight white dude gets?" — "That's whataboutism.&quo

That's true, but it's a one-time pain, and if you prefer you can configure it by downloading software and connecting the printer. I really like the fact that no-software option is there, though.

That was in 2009-2010 when WhatsApp came out. By that time SMS were free and unlimited under most plans in the US but not in other places. WhatsApp, Viber, LINE etc. caught the non-US markets rapidly as a free alternative to an expensive se

You may want to consider a Mac. Most of its software doesn't use any Fn+ combos, or Home/End/PgUp/PgDown/Insert/ContextMenu keys. They have other shortcuts. It's a pain to learn them in the beginning, but

My issue with TLA is that it states that "There is no depression Gremlin". I disagree: I think that there may be depression Gremlin, we're just unable to reliably discover it yet .

Ok, but if "depression is a biological condition" — I understand we don't know the details — would you agree with what is said in TLA, that "[t]here is no depression Gremlin, either"? The biological condition — that

I'm not arguing, but for a person suffering from depression, who of the following is right? A. People saying "It's all in your head" and reducing depression to a non-biological condition (which is not very helpful at bes

airalo sells eSIMs for most countries in the world, no locals needed. It also sells one for my country, so my friends visiting can buy it from them, so I don't need to keep an extra SIM.

When the majority of programs in the world can't be "run" according to your definition, you might want to reconsider your definition.

I don't think eSIM has a number, and so no verification is needed. I bought a German eSIM a month ago and it worked without any need to register. I never had to do any video call in a language I don't understand. eSIM just worked.
