Everyone has preferences for all kinds of reasons. Some people don't like bald guys or short guys or whatever. Are you saying folks should be pressured to date someone they don't find attractive?

The ecological crisis of our age is global warming. Clean mining is important, but it should not be the overriding factor. I agree that the total emissions from production to end of life are important, though

Shouldn't the executives have to pay back their bonuses they got just before the FDIC intervened? Aren't they effectively subsidized by the govt?

I don't think my reading is that low on generosity. The founder of the movement wrote an article called "More people should be fat." There are certainly bad diets out there, but they aren't just opposed to bad diets. It&

> Also, "obesity is healthy" is a strawman That simply isn't true. Just look into the "Health at Every Size" movement. There are some reasonable ideas there, like destigmatizing it as you mentioned. But there are

Superchargers are convenient because Teslas are fast charging. When these slower charging cars get access, it'll be more convenient for the owners of other types of cars at the cost of Tesla owners waiting in long lines to charge.

No one has complained about the prices being too high in a market economy. In fact, NIMBYs are distorting the market with inefficient regulation. The harm, of course, is that this regulation unfairly favors current home owners. The state of

Technically you are correct about his word choice. But I think you missed the point.

That's interesting, but Jack Ruby was a supporter of the president. He impulsively killed Oswald; he didn't know where Oswald was going to be until shortly before he left to kill him.

I agree it's weird. It's very possible that Oswald was involved in some shady (non-assassination related) business for the government, which in turn has made it more difficult to get documents declassified. But the "benefit o

Jack Ruby was a supporter of the president who impulsively killed Oswald. Given the timeline he would not have been able to plan it in advance. This is obviously one of those things that have been infinitely followed up on and done to death

Can you specify the coincidences? This conspiracy has been written about to death, and the mainstream theory that Oswald assassinated him is the only one that makes any sense.

Ok, but how is it dishonest ? That seems really out of whack with the rest of your post and kind of ranty.

"Lovecraftian dystopia" has to be hyperbole. I remember similar comments before cell phones became popular. No one can just go down to the river watch the water flow anymore! They always have to be on their phones!

There are many documents dating from ancient Rome (and earlier) that we don't consider historical because of their fantastic or religious nature. The set of documents you refer to are self-contradictory and describe supernatural events

If they committed a crime, let the authorities deal with it. Committing another crime (DDoSing a website) is hardly the answer. Vigilantism is also a crime.

This article is not about ignorance per se. It is about views in opposition to well-established consensus, e.g. "rejection of vaccines or opposition to climate change mitigation policies." These views are highly damaging to societ

The original comment was "Totally not like how access to Russian news outlets has been blocked by the West." This statement is factually incorrect. I don't see where that argument was actually made. But sure, some western cou

The grandparent made the broad generalization not the person you are replying to. They said the "west" is blocking RT. It might stun you to learn that the US is part of the west and isn't blocking RT. I don't want to stu

One simple reform is to train fewer graduate students. Then the job prospects for post-docs will improve as the supply of potential professors is reduced.

The obvious solution is to have fewer graduate students. Why should one professor train N replacements, if the field isn't expanding?
