Is this really surprising? Nation-state actors and their proxies on both sides are constantly trying to astroturf Twitter. It's particularly awkward since the Ukrainian side seems to have a more effective disinformation program (eg. NA

It would be a huge time saver. Typically a pro does around 100 lines per hour, an amateur doing multiple takes would be significantly slower. So a character with 1000 lines could easily be 20-30 hours of work, just for a first draft. It wou

I'm the one who gave hard numbers showing that men make up the majority of victims of violent crime, which you tried to handwave away by blaming gang members... Agreed that this discussion is going nowhere useful though.

As a 47 year old man, would you feel comfortable asking another man to walk you to your car or follow you home? Or would the social embarrassment of violating cultural norms for men outweigh the perceived safety risk? It is not a "red

Violent crime includes sexual assault and rape. And the GP post is a man discussing his experiences with aggressive panhandling, which can escalate into an assault or attempted mugging. My point is that perceptions of risk and societal will

"Adopt, don't shop" is very trendy in the US right now, and many shelters ran out of desirable dogs during COVID and had to ship dogs in from other states or even other countries. It seems very similar to what you describe in

The primary beneficiaries of those low-cost services seem to be the upper deciles, while the indirect harm hits the lower stratas of society. And the net benefit seems entirely unclear, especially when the long-term pension and benefits obl

What interest rate does that assume for depositors? Sure, the face value of the bonds in 2032 dollars might have been enough to pay back the 2022 obligations to their depositors, but banks are routinely offering 2-4% interest in high intere

That video of the Capitol Police escorting the QAnon shaman through the building and opening doors for him is pretty damning. If he was not authorized to be there, the police should have thrown him out, not given him a guided tour. Charging

Why do we let banks play these sorts of shell games? If they are holding an asset worth $0.80, I don't see why we allow them to claim it is worth $1.00 because that is what they paid for it.

Sending them $5 via Gumroad or Patreon is worth hundreds or thousands of ad views, depending on the creator's RPM. YouTube ad payouts are pretty stingy.
