I am both happy to hear BBC talking about this, and also can't help but feel like they (alongside with the rest of MSM) are the main source of that problem (even bigger than social media, as they shape what social media landscape looks

I absolutely think that the 40 hours a week were chosen because of political reasons. That doesn't mean we should work for 7 days a week, or that the fact that we work 40 hours a week is a problem in any way. The only thing I don'

I expect to be downvoted for saying this, as some people are really precious about the idea of 4-day work week, but I really struggle to understand how working fewer hours will not result in loss of productivity. If for some reason it is tr

It's more like saying "it's better if someone gave you a hand-drawn map of Boston, instead of no map at all".

What you just wrote caused me a lot of discomfort and yet you chose to write it. Because in order to think and discuss we need to risk causing discomfort to other people. I don't know what to tell you if that's not obvious to you.

It's the same as with other words, including the some of the "x-words" (the n-word, c-word, f-word, p-word, and whatever else Americans came up with). They should all be possible to write and utter as long as they are not wri

Cool, as long as it's your thoughts and not mine. I have no problem with other people policing their own speech and thoughts. My problem starts when they start to enforce what they found on other people.

It's not going to be an original take if I say that I absolutely adored the early internet with the personal websites everywhere. Comparing it with the internet of today it makes me think of the difference between a high street in a sm

So, to clarify, I am not arguing that food insecurity and hunger are two separate things (even though to me it still sounds like some sort of newspeak). My question was more about the speed with which that term became deployed everywhere.

This is an idiotic take if I ever saw one, and I genuinely wish you to never have to deal with being on the wrong side of the pitchfork held by angry mob of people all going after you.

I cannot understand how it is possible that the phrases like "food security" instead of "hunger" became used widespread organically seemingly out of nowhere. Genuine question, can someone explain that to me without resor

You should talk to an older person from eastern europe, where believing in communism is (rightly) seen at the same level as believing in nazism (and in absolute numbers it actually harmed more people). Then you can reassess your comparison.

That sounds like something that is not slanderous at all and would never be used to harm innocent people.

What's stupid is people thinking that someone who successfully rules over some of the most influential companies in the world is stupid. Reminds me of all those people who claim that Trump or Putin[1] are "stupid" where in re

The ironic thing is that I read about that on a blog hosted on medium.com, a website that is one of the reason all the blogs look the same too.

If you can show me that Jesus ever cried because someone made a mean comment about his carpentry work, I could probably agree.

You will most likely be downvoted for writing this, but you are absolutely right. Prepare for all sorts of name calling (including one commenter already claiming your take is pathetic) as you violated a moral taboo ( http://www.pa

Isn't that the whole point of that article? When the exact same thing happened to a different political option (people moving to Parler, or Gab) the whole coverage was about making the move as unpalatable as possible. It is 100% making

I don't think the plan was to re-hire good people from the same pool that got fired. And I honestly don't expect Elon's Twitter to have any problem hiring good new people (even in the absolute worst case scenario there is a h

Is believing in both of those things is somehow a contradiction? "I haven't seen a good proof that he fired based on LOCs and even if he did that would not be stupid anyway"?

by poszlem 4y ago
I don't get how hung up on the LOC firing people got. If you want to fire 3500 people you obviously don't care that much about false negatives. I would not be surprised if it turned out that it's much more economical to fire

You could say the same about coca cola and yet they spend huge amounts of money on advertising. It's not always about people not knowing about you. More often than not it's about them not forgetting about you.
