Nobody would be opposed if IDs were universally easy to get - in fact among Democrats 70% want an ID law.

Perhaps, though you would be wrong about the state of things - Korea had a fairly big manufacturing base when taken over by Japan, so in a way they had more infrastructure already built that just needed to be repaired or upgraded. Source:

People are really grasping for meaning and a sense of belonging nowadays in this phase of global capitalism. We could do so much better at helping people find a calling rather than hoping capitalist business owners provide them.

One side doesn’t want a larger number of voters voting, at least historically.

The grille has tripled in size - it’s like a WRX with a 5 foot tall spoiler on the back. It doesn’t look like a luxury product to me.

Could you expand on how slot machines are different than social media on brain systems? I think you’ve got a good definitional point, and I roll my eyes whenever the word dopamine is used, but isn’t it speaking of the addictive cycle or an

Quite OT, but the design language of BMW seems lost. I don’t know why the grill needs to be the most distinguishing feature on an electric car.

It’s still the same problem though - more so in mobas because leaving a game in progress completely ruins it for everyone. You can’t even just strict kick someone out of an in progress game. League and mobas in general have a reputation for

It sort of is/was a private club - they would have a lodge, functionally sometimes like a tavern, they might have a liquor license, and membership was fairly controlled/via word of mouth and voting by the existing members. Often m

I think you're correct, but one thing that is really missing nowadays, especially with phones and the internet, is active communities that exist in real life outside of work. Stuff like the elks lodge, rotary, bowling leagues, etc are

Really curious why only within country? Security reasons? Also why 4 weeks? Just to be available for meetings? I find it funny that this is the American version of a nice holiday - go pay money to rent an Airbnb so you can work in a differe

Sure, but then all their real estate, cars, etc is also there and tied to a business. They never have to take money out for any reason, and if they do it’s just forever rolling over low interest loans. Besides, the money amount never goes d

Chill out a little. What makes these threads explode is that many many people have spent weeks or months of their lives preparing for an interview at Google - it can create a lot of reasonable resentment especially when one feels they haven

Eh, maybe, but I’m guessing not in this case. Poor interviewers abound.

I don’t see where that’s what she proposed, I only saw forcing transparency - maybe you can fill in the blank there?

Not to mention tying essential benefits like healthcare to workplaces, which drums up the cost of employing more people.

Glenn’s argument is a slippery slope fallacy, and you’ve thrown in some guilt by partisan association in there too. Simply stopping amplifying content for purely engagement purposes would be a great step in the right direction, for any sid

In a way political discourse is like that, but the problem is everyone pretends that the parties who are stake holders and their relative positions of importance are vastly skewed. Like the need for politicians to be re-elected, the need to

Hit the nail on the head there. It’s impossible to actually get what was the damn promise of Facebook to begin with, and instead everyone gets practically drugged with crap because it makes Mark more money.

I don't understand how you can say that trigger warnings somehow make people avoid getting treatment - how does that make sense? Therapy and exposure are both helpful, but not all exposure is theraputic. If someone is actively treating

I'll be honest, most of your arguments are well thought out and written, but to me the target feels like, and I mean no disrespect, a strawman. I think you're conjuring, via a few cultural critics, the idea of a great mass "p

I'm sorry if that's been your experience, but it seems like you don't know many therapists if that's your read. Its like saying firefighters don't want to put out fires so they'll keep being paid.
