This is really strange. I'd rather not name names in case I'm wrong, but some of the comments in this thread that link to "things they made" on Lamucal are by very fishy accounts. Account was made a few months ago, only

Wait, what? Don't you pay back the money spent on you in the school system by being a working member of the economy? How does having more children to draw more school funding out of society benefit it if not for the economic impact the

Does your work and economic contributions not count for anything to society? Does your standing in your local community mean nothing? If having a child is the only thing you can do that has any value, life seems pretty pointless.

Not sure what you mean. Isn't farming (as opposed to scavenging) a form of mass production?

As long as people are throwing suggestions your way, it might cool if we could sort by either Votes or Comments rather than just "popularity" which is seemingly just sorting by votes. A lot of posts will only have 30-50 votes but

>I think they're already making the best tradeoffs. This is self-evidently false, given that people are upset enough about it to make this petition... Unless you meant "best" in a different sense? Not sure what you mean by

Your argument is that it's more of a spectrum than black and white, and yes, that's surely how things are in real life. You are just much further along the extrovert end of the spectrum than you realize and now believe you get wha

I'd argue that it is a consideration, but other factors still cause the purchase. Things aren't black and white in real life as they are in an economic theory. People can financially support something for a plethora of reasons: Th

> “Some”? How about all! This reveals right away that you don't really struggle with this issue and just wouldn't get it.

Do they think this, or do they simply want control over their own time? Why do extroverts feel entitled to the time of other people?

This hinges on the idea that death is preferable to a lowering of your current quality of life, which is very much not something that people are going to agree on.

Weird take. It's actually totally normal to be shaken by death, regardless of how fit you are. I would imagine most people don't want to die.

Is it that few consumers care about this, or that the products are very good and consumers want to buy them but then are upset when the product is killed? I think the latter is more likely, given that the petition in question is being spurr

Hardly ironic. It's not a stretch to say they were right, Spotify is pretty synonymous with digital music even for all of its flaws. (Disclaimer, I don't use it myself.)

The potential downside in my eyes is that regulators won't want to wait for the underlying issues to be solved and will instead opt for more aggressive identification. The worst case scenario is if the whole internet became like Facebo

For organizations, sure, but has this ever been done to an individual?

Man, I always forget that ublock can do that. Here I am with a self-rolled firefox extension to do a dark theme on this site when this probably works even better...

The part you quoted doesn't say cars are banned... Banning roadside parking in neighborhoods is already done in many places pretty commonly and it's fine. "Most car traffic" is vague but implies that those in need would

Why would they have issues? Cars in the posited scenario aren't banned

Those don't actively impede everyone else, so I don't mind if they use them for free.

No need to download if you've got physical copies. A hacked Wii (which is simple to set up nowadays) can easily dump your games to a usable legal ROM.

It's about the size of just the screen of a GBA. It's shorter than your smartphone. You could absolutely hang that from a keychain at that size, even if it wouldn't really make sense to.

This seems too defensive/aggressive. The pill guy made his case very well I think, he wanted the benefits of caffeine in a consistent dosage and pills fit that purpose. His motivation is inherently different from someone who wants to e

Yes, it's a shame that laptop manufacturers fail to account for the critical need of sending Morse code.

This would appear to be a lie.

Easier fix would be to click the little [-] button next to the comment to hide it so you don't read it, or even just scroll past it.
