Ah reminds me of the time when I was a kid and my PC would randomly crash and would not start for a while. Turns out the processor fan was janky and would not start occasionally requiring a push with a pen or something to get it going. So t

The courts determined there was no “truth” whatsoever in what Alex jones spouts in his bouts of verbal diarrhea.

This is a fantastic idea! Wish it were here in the US. In some areas like fintech/banking it appears "developing" economies like India are light years ahead of us.

Firstly this isn’t a news article in case you didn’t RTFA. Secondly, > It only applies to people who still haven't had a single vaccine dose, which after three years of Covid is heavily biased towards individuals with immunocompromi

Superstition is exactly how I would describe some of these people driving around with masks on in their car with their windows rolled up... (and at this point pretty much anywhere really). I guess this is how superstitions start.

It's a good placebo though.

So it is a low-effort shallow dismissal then?

Thanks Dan! I do see how the examples you mention in the other reply could be problematic and lead to the discourse taking an unsavory turn.

I don’t quite understand how this is “ideological flamebait”. The posted article is about translations of Indian epics through a Western lens. Op here pointed out possible issues with such translations, one I am glad to be informed about an

Maybe she was sincere and misinformed but the article points out how this might be misinformed, I don’t see any disagreement?

Ok fair points,but how does the creator achieve the reach he has? Or pay for hosting and serving content across the globe? He doesn’t pay for either of these right? YouTube pays for this and you the user can choose to pay by watching ads or

Or you could just buy YT Premium. I don't have it since I can handle 2-3 ads but if it does get as bad as the article suggests I'll probably just buy the damn subscription. This entitlement for free stuff on the Internet is the ca

Need (or at least used to need) a vaccine to work, eat and travel in the USA sounds authoritarian to me, I believe that's what the GP was taking about.

I’m a lifelong vegetarian, I think many crop industries might have similar abuse? What is it about meat/fish that makes it more prone to abuse?

Why do you say that, do you have any evidence to back it up? Not saying the US healthcare system is anything to write home about, but it always seemed to me that as long as your pockets are deep enough you should be able to get healthcare w

Probably not, I do think the current government leans a bit more towards religious intolerance than co-existence. I do however take issue with bashing the government for every social justice issue du jour. It’s convenient but very distracti

This “individual” has a net worth of over a $100 million so yeah a $4 million judgement is a slap on the wrist.

by rajup 4y ago
Relative to what? The point of a punishment is to dissuade similar actions in the future. This amounts to nothing more than a slap on the wrist, and is not appropriate for the gravity of the crime.

This is a great and a just decision, but it seems like the damages are a far cry from the $150 million claimed. Were there any sentence limits for the charges against this guy?
