Sorry, I don't get it. Somebody having assistants who look like models and are from Eastern Europe is suspicious of trafficking women? How? Why? I have heard about Epstein, obviously with hindsight all sorts of things he did can be see

Don't you have to try to identify a face first, before you can decide you don't want to identify it? I don't see how it can work if you don't try to identify every face.

What happens to unknown faces in photographs, you just discard them? What if I have 1000s of photo of aunt Emma, but aunt Emma is not on Facebook. When she eventually joins, and turns Face recognition on, will you rescan all my old photos t

That's just cherry picking, or a set up. Girl "now" could just as easily have built any other number of sets. Gender specific - well the market to both boys and girls. What else should they do? Try to sell "friends"

You mean they won't give them to the toy stores to sell? Nevertheless, you can still buy the boxes with random colored bricks.

If they did so, then presumably because they had more success with boys. The "Friends" line example seems to show that marketing it to girls successfully wasn't trivial.

Apparently the "commercialized junk" sells better, though. Lego was close to going bankrupt in the 90ies. Apart from the price, I personally can't really complain about the modern Lego sets, either. They are nice puzzles, and

That's just bullshit, a narrative feminists peddled by posting selective pictures and ads of LEGO sets. They even complain about modern "girl's Lego", instead of being happy that it brings girls to using Lego. It also do

They are right to be full of fear. Their way of living will very likely be destroyed. I doubt the rest of the world will even notice much. However, maybe to protect the Amazonas, the thing to do is to give the indigenous people guns. Who el

We don't value fields less because women enter it. First of all, there is simple supply and demand. More candidates wanting to do a specific job means lower pay. Secondly, you should ask WHY women suddenly want to enter some field. Ver

Yet another silly feminist statistic, cleverly cropping context to make things look bad. This is about advisories given to 16 to 18 year old boys and girls. Does it seem possible that the advisors took the track record of the person they ad

They got lucky, by taking risks. People who don't take risks want to get their share in the winnings, but not their share in the losses. So investing in something is stupid, because if you are successful you don't deserve it? When

But that is the point - it was not easy to become owner of those high-priced lands, so maybe it is not fair to simply describe it as leeching and parasitic. People took risks to get there. In the same vein, would you all say people who earn

In a normal market, I suppose speculation would help increase supply - by driving prices up, it would become more attractive to build. Of course if no building is possible, that won't work. Nevertheless, there has to be a ceiling to th

If it is a perfect system, again, why doesn't everybody do it? Just because of the property taxes? Everybody is free to buy land, no? Also I don't think people can just ask for arbitrarily high rents wherever they want. It is a ga

You could pool resources, and start with smaller investments. Personally I don't believe it is really so easy. But that is the narrative of the leeching landlords.
