Prostitution is a harder issue because the worry is that by its nature it will still be exploitative and harmful even if it's legal. If prostitution would be safe and healthy for the women most feminists I know would be for it, the wor

The thing is that "nothing illegal" is too low a bar. From a purely ethical standpoint taking money from a platform that supports hate speech is pretty sketchy even if it's not illegal

Like immediately after the original story aired an email was leaked where the CEO of Google basically admitted that it was fucked up and said the policy changed a couple years ago so there isn't going to be a big group dissenting over

Could we please refrain from using "retard", it might not have any personal significance to you but it does to other people and there's tons of other words that mean essentially the same thing

You can still do charging perfectly fine, it's just not the highest speeds. For charging phones where I'm generally sitting somewhere for a while normal speed charging is fine so while it's annoying it doesn't really aff

How do you link machines to bondage? If you look at slavery from Sparta to the American South it's often had a large component of agricultural labor. Even things like serfdom where the serfs were nominally free but tied to working the

I know I don't really understand the most recent tax bill but I've heard that red states will get more of the benefit from the changes in it. Is that not true or is there a good reason for it?

Everything is built off of norms and expectations. An example people have a little bettwr tendency to understand is that if a bunch of soldiers get shot in a war it's less of a big deal than if a bunch of people get shot in the suburbs

To add to my patent coment I'm sure you're doing fine. In my experience as long as you are learning stuff in your first month it's fine. Also you mentioned concerns about collaborating and communicating in a large organizatio

Talk to your manager about your concerns and ask them what their expectations are for your performance. For the 6 months to a year the expectations are honestly pretty low. In the very unlikely case they aren't happy with how you'

My grandparents hung clothes up often but honestly it took longer and was more work than a dryer. It takes like 30 seconds to load clothes into a dryer and it gets them dry in about an hour regardless of weather.

I don't think you need groups actively working against you to have a lot of stories about admissions right now. Any story about it will get attention right now so while some may groups doing stories purposefully there's also proba

Yeah, it's a good reminder that our views on all other countries (and also groups within our own countries) always lacks a lot of nuance.

Do you not watch TV, movies, or plays or play video games? I'm just curious, avoiding fiction us a really interesting worldview and I'm curious whether it extends to every medium.

Google has had "Google Takeout" for a fairly long time I think (I heard it started as someone's 20% project a long time ago but is a legitimate team there now but that's just hearsay)

I'm not tracking exactly what your point is here. You ask things like "Can power dynamics be boiled down to men vs women?" And "Are we saying that Elizabeth Holmes is treated the same as some no name immigrant founder?&q
