I'm extremely against ads, so I sympathize greatly with your sentiment. But what does it mean to "ban targeted advertising"? Will we ban posters along highways that advertise car wreck lawyers? Where do you draw that line?

I hate this new world we find ourselves in. And I triple hate that we've helped develop the technology that powers it. In hindsight, it was inevitable. "Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would s

I think the point of all this is that there is no absolute scale of "offensiveness". Different societies have different values. Obviously, enough people found the Ukrainian flag easter egg offensive enough for the matter to have

When my surgeon charged $250,000 for my hand reconstruction surgery, how much of it did he personally pocket, and how much of that went towards that $500,000 debt vs. his brand new S-class Mercedes?
