Keep in mind the original post is an opinion piece with a political agenda, it is not evidence based. There is no shortage of bad opinion pieces with all sorts of terrible politically driven opinions out there. This is one of them.

How many troll farms exist in the USA? Perhaps they're simply an arm of PR and reputation management nowadays. Anyway, further evidence that social media is bad for society.

It's a biological urge for many, which makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint. Sure some don't have it, and some control it, but that's clearly not the majority of our species otherwise we wouldn't be so ubiquitous.

>The only way to deal with climate crisis is to lower the population of the planet down to one billion. Possibly without wars and famines. Who decides who gets depopulated? And how? What if those chosen to be depopulated don't want

The "fertility crash" is only impacting the developed world. As the article directly states, global population projections are set to grow by another 3 billion. I would call that a fertility explosion, not a crash, but most of tha

Moving will briefly introduce new experiences but you will quickly adjust. Finding and developing new interests and hobbies is a much better longterm solution.

What makes you think that? There are tons of childless women out there who want families, if that is what you are interested in.

You're looking at the symptom rather than the disease. The despair is the disease. Drug and alcohol use are from people self-medicating their symptoms. If anyone cared to address this problem, they'd look at what causes despair. T

This is not too surprising for many reasons. Also, a significant part of modern American culture actively devalues men and thinks of men and masculinity as problematic. This is particularly true within certain political movements and social

My iPhone 11 Pro pictures look like they've been put through an artistic painting filter when you zoom in on them, it looks strange and smudged.

Making candidates white board is basically an ego driven hazing process, "we had to do this stupid exercise, so you have to as well! Ha ha!" It also gives people a bad taste in their mouth, don't ever forget the candidate is

The polar extremes are good examples? Hardly. Design is much like politics right now, it's hilariously sad when there is no concept of moderation or a middle ground.

Not surprising when science has become a tool for political and industrial purposes.

Let's not forget there were many light, medium, and dark interfaces before the flat design trend took over UI, but since those pre-flat interfaces were almost always built around usability rather than some stark design theory, they wer

Somewhat ironically, OLED PWM causes eye fatigue and other problems in a significant number of users. Anyway, dark backgrounds and dark interfaces can and did exist without participating in the flat design trend.

Also, dark blue text against black or dark gray is absolutely horrible for legibility.

Let's be honest, dark mode is only necessitated by the whole flat design trend which uses glaringly bright whites and stark interfaces. The flat design trend is so tired, it never looked good, and it promotes bad UX/UI. That has a

Hasn't this always been the case? Without a verifiable paper trail, why would anyone trust a voting machine?

This sounds like something you read about in the undeveloped world. Something is very wrong that this is happening in the USA, let alone a state with the 6th largest GDP in the world.

Surely this is related to a concurrent thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21353920 It's the flat design trend. It is unintuitive by design.

I blame the flat design trend, it is not intuitive.

Design is how it works If it's guesswork, or not working, is it good design?

They also have a dark sky ordinance where various rules, to point lights downward, covers over the tops of them, etc. More cities should do this, it makes for lovely night skies where you can actually see the stars.
