They do oppose age verification because despite knowing there was a problem of underage people viewing their content they did nothing to stop this. Now a government solution has been imposed they are acting as if they are now some how a re

Sure, that’s reasonable. Let’s implement this. In fact Pornhub could have implemented this on its own and staved off the “need” for a government imposed solution. It knew there was a problem and did nothing.

I'm middle aged - mid 40s, in fact - and places don't ask. Your appearance is the age verification. One can obviously tell you are of age to buy the products in question by looking at you. That’s the age verification. Communit

Kelly's Heroes is one of the best war movies in my opinion. He played Oddball very well. Oddball's line about how his commander was trying to get them killed since Normandy resonated with me. My dad was an infantryman in World Wa

Yeah looking at one article is not a basis for a valid judgment. I did get the impression that it really is “left leaning” in a way to appeal to conservatives by coming across as non partisan. I’m a pseudo socialist so being left leaning

You propose stupidity as a plausible explanation for the error. It is indeed plausible that the person is stupid. Another plausible, and more likely, explanation is a minor mistake. One should try to use the most generous interpretation

I’ve never heard of The Conversation before. Just looked at an article. Here’s a snippet from the article There’s both bad news and good news about climate change in the future. The bad news is that as long as we keep burning carbon, it

I think you are confusing can’t with didn’t. In this era of auto correct and typing on mobile devices a bit of leeway should be given to minor spelling mistakes.

I’ve found the opposite to be true of him. Can you point to things he’s said that make you take him with a grain of salt?

I think in the U.S. the most profitable customers of credit cards are the well to do because they buy so much more than poorer people.

There is nothing polarizing about Obama. Republican strategy has been to go to the right of whatever policy a Democratic President champions. For instance, Obama enacted the Republican plan for healthcare reform without their support. Th

Yes. It works both ways as it always has. Being a communist was enough to get you fired at one time. Sinead O’Connor famously got canceled.

Indeed. Obviously this is the real reason for the change. Musk wants people to be able to follow whatever lunatic bullshit is out there without fear of being ridiculed. One can now be a sycophantic dupe without people knowing about it.

My understanding is that it allows virologists to better predict how viruses evolve and thus be able to more easily come up with a vaccine in case the virus does gain the function. Whether or not it is “supervillain wrongness” does not detr

Is one of the upgrades the ability to consistently have both pods recharge? There are well known complaints about this and Apple does nothing about it. I will never buy an audio product from Apple again. My Jabra pods have never had an i

In the same way a person or entity does anything. Just do it.

Sure. I’m agnostic in all this but I do think Apple prefers to build their own AI and worry about anti-trust later.

Oh, yeah that is a possibility. I think though long term they are going to have Siri be a search engine that actually works in the way Google once did.

Their desires may or may not be rational in this but clearly Apple isn’t going to allow it. They have a history of doing their own thing.

I don’t follow your second to last paragraph. It’s called Apple Intelligence. If you want to use something else do so but don’t expect Apple to build its own product and let you use whatever you want for it. Clearly the goal for Apple is

When AOC came out with the New Green Deal it was ridiculed by climate change skeptics. Those same skeptics ought to have supported measures to detoxify the environment. Instead political theater was more important to them. People are sel

The thing about climate change skepticism is that whether or not they are right we should all be opposed to swimming in our own poop so to speak. Instead of going the route of taking care of the environment we are turning the world into a

Clearly you did not understand the paper (more likely you didn’t read it). Your comment makes no sense in terms of what Arnold is arguing. Arnold is one of the great mathematicians of the 20th century and was a great expositor and teacher

The system is great at extracting wealth, manipulating people and manufacturing demand. It’s hard to find advice that is genuine and believable. Lots of genuine people are having their messages diluted by misinformation and misdirection.

One person’s hate is another person’s calling out of powerful people. Those in the 80s on campuses who espoused anti-American sentiments said things that were “hurtful” to those on the right. Today, on college campuses, if you say there m

In the 70s and 80s conservative decried the free speech atmosphere on campuses. Liberals took the position that free speech was more important than regulating so called anti-patriotic sentiments. Now conservatives clamor for free speech a

The Russian claim that Ukrainians are Nazis. This claim is based off of members of right wing paramilitary organizations that fight Russian occupation. Of course if such a broad generalization could be made based on a few people then woul

It’s obvious that there are misinformation campaigns coming from Russia and China directed at Americans and others. That people suddenly no longer believe in the efficacy of the polio vaccine and other nonsense is evidence of the power of
