Are you a credible entity to make determinations about credibility, throwaway8877?

I second this. I watched this episode of Fall of Civilizations podcast(on YouTube) while recovering a few weeks ago, and it's very informative and well-produced (as are all the episodes).

I got a Microsoft force feedback joystick to play them... Sadly I got rid of it before I got more interested in electronics.

I concur. I've been in that ecosystem for a few years and I finally had to give up on my Jetson Nano in "favor" the new Jetson Nano Orin. Which did solve a lot of my issues with software, and I paid for it, too. Just say no t

Drug use in my area does not affect most(all?) businesses. I use commercial bathrooms all over where I live, too, and they're not even so much as locked. There's your counter-anecdata.

You are not alone. I use Win11 at work(grudgingly), but I don't at home because my workflow and muscle memory is HEAVILY influenced by at least 10 years (ever since 16:9 ratios on monitors were common) of having the taskbar on the left

Pick a regularly scheduled time, let everyone know they're welcome to come, and don't make them feel bad if they miss. Source: I've been co-hosting an online Hackathon with about 4-6 people on Wednesday nights for 10 years.

If it was actually theft, I'd agree, but an idea is not able to be stolen. And who inspired the person to create? Did they steal by observing the world around them? No one is an island, and who's to say they'd even have the c

I believe, if anything, copyright is more useless than ever. It's an anachronism when these powerful tools of media creation are so available to so many people. Is it more valuable to society that a select few benefit from decades of c

Hey, let's not forget that, somehow, Mississippi has decriminalized possession for a very long time now. And more than 75% of the voters wanted medicinal marijuana. Now the state officials continue to brutally enforce their morals agai

A documented education, however, does show that one can exhibit consistency with regards to a curriculum. Regardless of how you feel about expertise (judging from your comment history, I'd say you probably don't value expert opini

As someone who has been around the education systems my whole life, this is an unhelpful perspective to have. At least teachers generally have been educated in how to teach, specialize in a couple of fields(and age groups), and have a suppo

Unprecedented times don't constrain us to the historical events. And we have a Constitution which we follow when unprecedented times do arise. If we don't want to follow the Constitution, fine, but there is a process defined in it

Well, perhaps people seeking leadership positions should distance themselves from situations where they may violate laws which cause the effect of losing the ability to be a candidate. Or, as the kids say these days, fuck around and find ou

Hahaha I do not want to ban guns outright(I will leave it as an open question whether I have guns in my own domicile). Why do you want to imbue my use of statistics with an agenda you think I support? I do think we should resume a strict in

I'm just a lost epistemologist seeking truth in whatever dirty alleyway I find myself in.

If you are going to call bullshit on something, feel free to cite your source. However, regardless of what you think you're talking to, this source suggests that your claim of bullshit is bullshit. https://www.nejm.org/

In my opinion this is because we don't teach Chesterton's Fence early enough (or often enough) to internalize it at a societal level.

It does apply. Assuming a baseline(e. g. "literate English" or "colorblind primate"), a UX designer should be able to create an interface that allows for the engineered function to operate should the operating entity des

That's not what I said nor was responding to. The GP asserted that companies have a fiduciary duty to avoid unionizing, and my counterargument is that such activity could be illegal which is actively detrimental to a company's fid

I would argue they have a fiduciary duty to NOT do so, as "unfair labor practices" are illegal per the National Labor Relations Act.

I just had my wisdom teeth taken out (being relatively elderly for the procedure). I had headaches I thought might be related, and I seem to be lucky in that regard as I was cured instantly(my oral surgeon didn't think it would help).

It's actually kind of boring in this case, per Wikipedia: "In law, uttering is synonymous with publication, and the distinction made between the common law offences was that forgery was the fabrication of a forged instrument (with

Uhm, no? I ran cat 5e through my house in all the bedrooms and common areas back in high school and I'm still using them in addition to my Wi-Fi network, which historically hasn't been 1/1,000 as reliable as the copper cable.

I never had enough jumpers at the time(early in my computer explorations), and hoarded them like gold up until around 2007 or 2008 when I finally had plenty from old spare parts.

I played your stupid game and literally none of what you said was accurate. Maybe it's because I live in a red state. Or maybe it's because you did not take measurements of your observations and fell victim to confirmation bias. E

By all means, you should have the right to control your lifespan. Please let others make that choice too, insofar as the universe will allow us.
