I mean, if you really wanted to base your opinions on science, you wouldn’t hold off on vaccines based on a single study that is not even in the meta-analysis level, no? And since you’re the type who likes to be sure, I wonder if your hesit

Legit question--would you have higher chances of surviving COVID-19 had you gotten it without the vaccine?

I’m not sure that giving the UI to the elderly is a truer test. Whatever difficulty they encounter, it’s just as likely that it could be because a previous experience with a different OS is shaping their expectations, or many other factors.

I live in a country where free speech is being suppressed more and more each day, and this “no-complain” mentality is exactly what purveyors of state propaganda use against the opposition to silence criticism. It is easy to talk about tackl

Your reading of that video couldn’t be more wrong. “1984 won’t be like 1984” easily means that they’re ahead of the competition (this was directed at IBM) because they were giving people the future then. It’s not a political or activist sta

No, they never marketed themselves as a company that stands up against the government (to do so means that they don’t understand how power works). Their PR centered around ethical practices is still true where they conduct business in democ

Tbh “natural progression to growing forests” sounds to me like a mere excuse for doing nothing about the status quo. We’re already growing plants for agriculture and are currently looking to terraform Mars, and we as a species were so willi

Acknowledging the fact that everything perishes, including humans, because we are not special, does not imply that there is nothing wrong with suicide (though I’d like to see you successfully argue that point—but that’s a separate discussio

To whom would it be a shame that no one is around to listen to the likes of Beethoven and Mozart when your premise is, exactly, that no one is around?

Just because you think that humans aren’t special doesn’t mean that you should commit suicide, though. I’m personally not against humans reaching for the stars, heck I think we should do everything we can to succeed in that, but for the pur

Trace up our ancestry far enough and you’ll realize that the earliest humans didn’t mean to bear us to experience the joys of life and thought but, really, they were just performing their natural, animalistic urges to hump each other.

I don’t see how this is a rational response to the question that the commenter posited. It’s all assumptions on top of assumptions about his/her personhood. What do you mean by “preservation” here—is it just attending to our most basic

In many ways, the news that we get is the news that consumers of news generally care about—so if an issue gets buried under much more current ones, it’s just a consequence of people caring about the current ones. We’re pretty much asking fo

I feel like leaving the subject of whether automobiles are good/bad as something that cannot be determined is just shying away from the question, and the possibility that the answer to it is that it is generally a bad thing. When you d
