Rapeman was a completely ironic and funny name because the band was these scrawny, autistic, nerdy dudes that were the antithesis of rapey culture, at least superficially. And he did regret it for a variety of reasons which I believe he was

He famously would hit record and then just play games on his phone until the track was done and ask if they wanted to go again. Of course he did this because he felt after getting things setup and sounding as desired (which he put a lot of

He had strong opinions regarding politics, art, and business and you may strongly disagree with him (or not, or maybe on some things) but he was never a hypocrite. He took his convictions to the grave.

The fact we’ve basically eliminated fatality rates to kids under 5 is the the actual thing they’re trying to say. That kids survive at a rate in many places globally that is not sustainable to those places. Meanwhile we are told that we sho

Instead of “habitat loss” I prefer to call it “starvation prevention”.

Could they just toss a simple AM radio into the glove box that plugs into a port for power?

My internet was out recently and I realized I don’t even have a radio (or TV antenna) in my house. Just cut off from the world when the internet is failing. I went out and bought a radio in case that awful day comes.

In the USA it's often called "day drinking" and it usually coincides with brunch (never heard the term "social lunch" here) on the weekend. As in "rosé all day", or "bottomless bloody mary's&quot

NYC is interesting in that Manhattan is red (boozers), Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island are green (dry), and Brooklyn is yellow (average). Manhattan makes sense I guess since people go to bars and restaurants often but not sure on the diver

A lot of people bought into places that weren’t very desirable and helped make the place desirable. There’s a lot of old towns that were down market from where they are today because the housing stock aged and owners couldn’t afford the ren

Mainly this, agreed. A place is a place because of how it is. Changing how it is makes it not that place anymore. Drastically opening access to the place will drastically change it and the people that live in the place often don’t want to c

You’re totally ignoring interest rates which since 1982 have trended downwards significantly. Combined with inflation this is why properties have gone up in cost. A home will be priced based on the monthly payment the buyers are willing to

Books are, in many cases anyways, an outdated medium. Or at best, a medium that has fierce competition from many other mediums that did not exist for the majority of time the printing press has been around. There's just so many ways to

Wow the CEO finally grew some balls. Has been such a pushover for years. Trying to be global capitalist empire while entertaining the demands of bratty employees that continuously humiliated him. Good job for a change!

MLPS isn’t anywhere near scale and has seen a population reduction as people move to the suburbs. Japan is a completely different thing.

You just need a dictator instead of this pesky democracy where the people that make up a constituency get to decide how they want to live. Even still, as you’ve pointed out there’s a lot of other things that would need to change. Like how y

I’m not saying don’t try. But that it’s well more difficult than just changing certain zoning laws. In small pockets it’s easy but not at any kind of scale that makes a difference.

Who is going to build all these new houses? Unemployment is super low and tradesmen are completely booked. Many skilled tradesmen require licensing that takes years to acquire and can not be brought online quickly. Others are unionized that

Upper class values are not compatible with non-upper class realities. And yet they continue to get forced on people over and over again. People take these values on and then are surprised when they don't work out and everyone feels wor

I think the algorithm, in this case, makes a suggestion and then a human evaluates it. The article claims they've only looked at the sex of the target (kill if male) but also claims 90% effectiveness. I'm curious if 90% is a good

Yeah, you'd hope that a higher level conversation about the use of technology in war, pros/cons, etc could supersede personal political beliefs about this particular conflict. We don't need people's moral judgements on w

Sounds like a worthy experiment. Why would people on this website condemn a group of people trying to see if a hunch is real? What have you done?

It’s easy to confuse computers with programs. A mechanical calculator isn’t a computer. It’s a piece of hardware built to execute a single program of limited scope. It’s why Turing’s Bombe, however impressive it was, is not a computer but r

He has weeded out corruption from within too so I’d say he has identified the root cause. The biggest risk they have is it’s difficult to replicate a great leaders abilities. It doesn’t scale well. So he needs to shift the culture during hi

In any organization there will be a minority group of highly organized people with most of the power. We call them elites. But there’s a difference between aristocrats and oligarchs. When people reference the deep state they are referencing

Which political theory? I think Machiavelli was more or less right. Many old texts are quite wise. I’d agree most political theories from the 20th century on is pretty much bunk unless cynical, oligarchical subterfuge is your goal. But if y
