well there's the alternative theory that this is a deliberate ploy to destroy the largest platform for grassroots public organisation the world has ever seen

I feel like this is much more likely a correlation than a causation. if your name is some middle to upper class fare like Alfie or Penelope, then I can mystically predict you an financially comfortable life from here on in. however, if your

I get given the crystals as gifts sometimes. the healing element is obviously complete nonsense, but they're aesthetically pleasing. they're also a potentially massively profitable business venture if you have easy access to a lot

I agree and I'd edit my comment to include this if I still could. who knows what more there is in the world beyond our senses. actual reality is not observable

I do not have a problem with this. this is expected behaviour and easily understood and corrected for. it's not so easy to understand and correct for the corporate biases of the private media

yeah well that's better than a media that's obsequious and fawning to anyone with a few hundred million in the bank. it's competition. cover more bases

I think the easy way to look at this is that a certain segment of society will always want to believe in something beyond the observable world with the decline of organised religion amongst Western Europeans, astrology is one way they fill

in my opinion the solution to this is subsidies and grants for journalism. create more bodies roughly like the BBC, maybe run them through the Universities, and have them hand out grants for journalism. set up competing publicly-owned print

>Across all racial and ethnic groups, only Asian students improved in average scores, from 24.5 points in 2018 to 24.7 in 2022. Black students’ composite scores fell from 16.8 to 16.1 points; Hispanic students from 18.8 to 17.7 points; a

perhaps this is my imagining, but it feels like the grip of the corporate elite upon the media is tighter than ever. maybe this is just a symptom of that

normally I'm very suspicious of shilling and astroturfing, and you definitely do get it here on HN - especially wrt China and FAANG - but I don't think it's even remotely out of place that a highly anticipated feministic Barb

I don't think we need exhaustive studies to know that using reactive chemicals that aren't found in nature for literally everything is a bad idea. if it's not been harvested with something with DNA, it's probably not a g

if /th/ is so unstable, why does it exist at all? because /t/ or /d/ sounds become corrupted to /th/ sounds. do you think the word brother always had a /th/ in the middle? much like when foo
