Why do people who call out capitalism for being a broken system, fail to acknowledge socialism (in all of its purest forms tried so far) is also broken and doesn't work when you have non-altruistic self interested humans in the mix or

Also, ice reflects light back out into space, meaning we absorb more of it and the heat that gets generated from absorbing it, as the ice melts. It's safe to say we're soundly screwed, and probably were screwed before we could rea

Are you confusing "white" culture, for western culture, and yes, there are aspects of western culture that should not be sacrificed in the name of multiculturalism, like free speech, pluralism, religious freedom, etc. I don't

No it isn't admirable means its some how not the expectation. Lack of prejudice is and should be the norm. Having prejudice should be detestable, you shouldn't get a pat on the back for not being prejudice no more than you should

They all kind of do it with impunity, if there is a later retraction or correction, it's kind of too late, and they don't exactly put it on the front page that "we got the facts surrounding this event wrong or were originally

Not just fake news, inaccurate or lazy journalism is also cheaper to produce. It's largely the reason for mainstream distrust of MSM over time as they've sensationalized the news and gone more for what's interesting more than

Non compete clauses are unenforceable (especially if the state has a right to work) and I simply do not sign them. For me, it's a deal breaker. If you have a right to fire me for any reason, I have a right to leave and go work for some

Individual YouTube Let's Play and Twitch streamers kind of can offer individual opinions or commentary on a game, that aren't really entrenched in the game journalism industry or vacuum/echo chamber. Which is more or less, is

Yep, I'd argue the results of the last election were the hard core conservatives and progressives duking it out with no one in the middle (the moderates or traditional liberals) with anyone to vote for. I say this because Trump got les

There was also a huge stink about Origin doing some spyware like things when it first release, including I believe sending EA a list of all the files on your HD. In the case of Steam, it solved a problem. In the case of Origin, the problem

Sorry, no, that argument is baseless and "fake news" to coin the term. Anyone who looks into it or lives in the state knows it's so easy to get an ID in NC and you have months to get it done between election days. It's e

I'd hardly call most of their shows shovelware. A great deal of them are at least decent or comparable to top shows on TV. Also, you do realize they don't set prices on licensing and probably drop the shows after people already we

You're forgetting all the other metrics that Netflix collects, like which shows get binge watched, finished, at what episode are people hooked or more or less guaranteed to finish a show after, etc.

That and Netflix has far more data that indicates likability to a far greater degree, such as how many people finished watching the show, over what period of time did they finish watching the show, after what episode are people more likely

We can agree that a lot of schools are terrible at both, and relied on for both (seriously talk to lower grades who are literally potty training some students). Most people don't have the option of moving to a better school district or
