I also didn't notice the "Free Preview" on the progress bar until reading about it in this thread. As distasteful as it may be, an actual heading or otherwise strongly formatted text note near the top should suffice for most

How exactly is it still "pairing" if you are doing it asynchronously? My understanding and experience with "pairing" is that it pretty much has to be synchronous because generally at least two people should be looking at

As a bit of an Anarcho-Libertarian who is often in the middle of these conversations from either side, I would imagine part of the problem is your framing of this issue as if it is only coming from one direction, when there is plenty of evi

It looks like you need to edit the wikipedia page on the history of eugenics[0] because it is claiming that Plato was a proponent of eugenics and he was born over 2000 years ago which seems like a lot more than 150. Similarly, you might wan
