Cities are older than most of the people living there. People know what they get when they move to a city and pay higher prices for that. For quiet there are better cheaper options, ones where you don’t have the noise of sharing buildings a

I’m sure everyone knows it but it’s in almost all cities that had a very prominent defund the police movement. In Seattle and other Washington cities like Olympia they just don’t have a police force that is capable or even allowed to act. I

Same with Seattle. It’s better to just leave your car unlocked if you don’t want your windows broken. Sadly even if you leave a sign that nothing is inside and car is unlocked they still break the windows.

Right seems like people are confusing very different points of view: they can do it and they should do it. It’s like reviewing a murder case and seeing arguments talking past each other, one side saying “He was allowed to shoot his gun” and

Shadowbanning is very real on many platforms. It is a method designed to ban a user without pushback from the user and minimize the ability of them to work around the ban. Explicitly lying to users like this, even the bad ones, should be so

The way most of these platforms work your ad is actually never “next to” anything anymore. Most people don’t associate online ads the same way as say a TV show. It is expected that you would get unrelated ads to your content when the conten

I think that I am still making a compelling argument on his performance even without the PR issues. I mean the browns just signed a QB with 22 active sexual assault cases, it’s a reach to believe that they would not sign Kaepernick because

You are right other conservatives won’t fight against it but it is also only religious conservatives that support it, at least banning abortion per the Texas law. In my own experience in a heavily democrat area, every single democrat I’ve m

This is just common sense in my eyes that you should scrutinize a source when especially if it comes from a very small group or one person with motivations to pick a political side and you will find one person to pick an opposite side in ev

Comparisons to other players are just silly, yes it has happened before but that doesn’t mean anything when it comes down to an individual. I’m not sure what else is needed to explain what makes a poor QB other than losing records in both r

Federal case law is essentially law. This is all besides my original point that abortion debates are not cancel culture but a political argument. But yes absolutely I’ll admit I was wrong if it ever happens.

I was referring to the bias ignorance and pressure that causes there to always be someone on the opposing side of a political topic as per his claim that one executives statement on Kaepernick was true. If you will also note he called me bl

Honestly it sounds like every description of conservatives is coming from not only 10 years ago but 20 years ago. Keapernick is a terrible example because he had shoulder surgery and then lost nearly every game of the following season befor

It is intentional that they are not going to show on the news Putins reasons for invading. You won’t see him speaking and you won’t see quotes from him because they don’t want him to sway you even a little bit to his side. They might cherry

I’m not sure what rights Canadians have but something sounds wrong when they will freeze your bank account before even telling you what you’ve been accused of, let alone given you a chance to defend yourself.

The key here is that these people are not engaged in illegal activities or even accused of engaging in illegal activities before their accounts are frozen and before they have been given any chance to defend themselves. Rapists and murderer

I see your point, there’s more friction at scale but on an individual level I question if the friction is enough. I hadn’t seen those programs, but it looks like they are at least able to make a trade to a traditional bank account via which

I think this is a major point of misunderstanding with the value of crypto currencies. Yes you are protected from say inflation in a currency with a corrupt government, but you will never be protected from someone with more force than you.

Currently the perception is USD is safer than INR, but that can change at any time. There is no reason not to use stable coins denominated in INR if INR becomes more trusted. Imagine if the US printed 40 percent of their currency of all tim

However, if everything else is inflationary then simply not inflating would be deflationary on a relative scale. It is a near zero chance that countries don’t keep inflation strong.

It’s interesting that the protesters have a very clear goal and want to be heard, but rather than diplomatically solving the situation Trudeau has exercised a new level of force not used on citizens before. It took a couple weeks of protest
