Even further, those who have traditionally been most vocal about second amendment rights are currently the biggest cheerleaders for the current authoritarian trend. Quite the plot twist.

> Any knowledge is composed from imperfect abstractions, the edge cases of which we don't know. That is a pretty concrete epistemological statement. Is it true? That's not just a game, or a "gotcha". Any discussion ab

I own a blender made by KitchenAid. I am allowed to blend strawberries that have not been approved by KitchenAid. I can make an Onion Banana Durian smoothie if I want. Calling Apple product appliances is a slur to appliance makers

Agree, feels pretty straw-man. Where are these never-built-anything academics? Lean startup's Steve Blank, maybe? Who did, what, 11 startups before moving into academia?

We are about to have 35% tariffs applied to our resource-based economy, with the explicit message that the goal is to destroy our economy. Words matter when they come from your head of state, and the "30 seconds ago" excuse gets o

Trump has threatened to invade Canada, "maybe, we'll see". He has said he will destroy Canada's economy until we beg to be admitted as a territory of the US. You clearly don't think that's a big deal. Many Cana

Ah yes, "exacting young man debunks charming tale with touching moral, to the benefit of nobody". A tale as old as time.

You keep isolating the discussion to tariffs, and ignoring the US hostility to former allies, including threatening to invade two NATO members, as well as US support for Russia against the west in active wars. Tariffs can be a reasonable po

This quote could only come from somebody that knows nothing about trades. Examine any "high style" cabinet from the federal period, or any other period really. The backs of highboys are the worst, rough-sawn, uneven, knot-riddled

Your country has threatened, out of nowhere, to annex my country - until now America's oldest and most steadfast ally - or failing that to destroy our economy until we capitulate. I do not feel united. And, echoing you, how is that not

This is a good way to look at it, but perhaps a new unit, like range per hour? Since mph is alreday a unit of velocity.

Corporations. European politics can be captured by large corporations the same way the US has been. It was unthinkable in the US, 50 years ago, that corporations would call the shots politically. It can happen elsewhere as well.

It doesn't have to be China or any other country. It can be corporations who move to capture the governments in other countries the way they've done in the US.

Facial expressions were mandatory in ASL, at least according to my teacher. The best analogy I can think of is of a tonal language, where raised eyebrows, a somewhat astonished look, or a frown with a furrowed brow are the tones.

You are begging the question, the question being whether consumers care. You believe they don't (e.g. that the expires-on date won't affect sales) and the creators of this petition believe people will care and will prefer games th

This is a super interesting comment, thank you. I am certainly guilty of believing the deaf experience is inferior to the hearing experience - but not because I think ASL is lesser than spoken languages or deficient as a communication chann

I'm a fellow geriatric and have seen the wheel turn many times. I would like to point out, though, that most cycles bring something new, or at least make different mistakes, which is a kind of progress. A lot of times stuff gets added
