Saying that someone is "too dumb to make their own informed decisions" sounds to me like saying "you are too dumb to live your own life", which I find repugnant.

Those can certainly be barriers but it's not the same argument as arguing there are "food deserts".

Say what you want about Elon Musk but SpaceX is one of the most inspiring thing in the world to me. I recently drove down to Boca Chica beach to see the spaceships in person: you can get really close to them it's pretty wild, and hones

[Meta] I wonder if it's just me but, reading through these comments I can imagine myself being the OP and thinking that every comment here is both very insightful and terribly useless simultaneously. All I can think of reading through

I agree that the pretense of "environmental concerns" is complete bull.

I realize you're saying this in a sarcastic, mocking tone but...yeah? If you worked hard to build your own life up to the point where you can buy a million+ waterfront house, wouldn't it seem unfair to have shabby boats sitting th

I agree that as a publisher who paid a hefty sum for the exclusive rights to the content, they 100% have the right to do this. I'm just saying this general trend of cancellation and suppressing views that don't fit squarely in the

I'm growing really tired of this "sanitization" of society, and what views you are/aren't allowed to hold anymore. Love or hate JRE's content, I don't think anything good comes from silencing people

This is getting ridiculous. The paper-pushing world created by GDPR and these non-technical bureaucrats is just absurd and only a burden for smaller companies trying to get things done.

Just wanted to second the traveling and staying at Airbnbs: if you just book a "room" with locals (as opposed to the full place), it's a great way to meet (usually) open minded people with a different culture that can complet

Super cool but I feel like my own (human) neural network only needed 1 game to get the hang of it and be better than the machine. So it went like this: closely lost the first game, then quickly won the second game after just 2-3 shots. Kind

When I first moved to NYC and was on a tight budget, I'd do exactly that: withdraw $100 every week, put it in my pocket and use that money for all expenses. Physically touching your paper bills and feeling the stack grow smaller every

Could it be a problem with policies rather than the country's structural failure you imply? LA alone dedicated close to $1B to fight homelessness in 2021! [1] [1] https://www.npr.org/2021/04/20/989015659&

The way the article breaks down exactly how the campaign is set to "persuade" the public feels so dystopian and cynical. Launching a £500K media campaign (with public funds) under the cover up pretense that "UK’s biggest chil

Perhaps I'm too cynical but if you were a government trying to have effective back doors in place, wouldn't you want to keep it hush hush and advertise yourself as pro-encryption?
