I graduated from a school that I think was #40 when I was there and got a job at one of the top tier companies but each person has their own experiences. Now people couldn't care less about where I went to college (also fun fact my GPA

The flagship university in each state actually always has some very very bright students. The very elite schools don't accept many students and the admissions criteria are far from perfect so a ton of students who would be good enough

The fact is that most animals in the wild simply aren't doing as terribly as you imply. My wife researches dog welfare and my understanding (which by the way is still not very good at all) is that most emotions don't map perfectly

Firstly I think characterizing the natural state of animals as "misery" is very misleading and using that to justify caging them seems strange. Also, I don't think that zoos are inherently unethical but they need to always be

The Democrats were still on "don't ask don't tell" in the Clinton era and that policy continued to 2011 so it just seems to me that the rise of this divisiveness came as a natural reaction to Progressives views on race a

I doubt that billboards would recoup much of the cost of interstate highways, they go through major metropolitan centers often only every couple hundred miles and billboard ads really aren't that expensive.

I'm under the impression from anecdotes that competition is decreasing in the American economy (though I would love to see data on it). Industries have been consolidating and even startups seem to avoid actually competitive markets as

Isn't trying to gain power compared to men the same thing as trying for equality if there is a an existing power imbalance or am I confused about the semantics here?

As much as I like this solution it always seemed to me that if the problem was too many people buying houses the best thing to do would be to build more houses.

I think this argument would resonate with me if wealth was more meritocratic. My wife is from rural Iowa and I've learned that working hard doesn't guarantee you a living wage (especially if you have medical bills).

Emotionally I didn't want companies to know about my life but practically it's going okay. Having companies know random information about me doesn't really affect my day to day life much (except for I have more targeted ads,

Maybe it's just late and I'm too tired but you mentioned the UN saying it had a report but your link talks about a Canadian newspaper issuing a correction in 2006, am I missing how they are related?

What's wrong with prositution if a women chooses to do it? The huge problem with it is generally is that people are forced into it through various means.

I'm willing to listen if you can explain your original claim of sexism or your new claim of hypocrisy (I've never been immune to it in the past so I wouldn't be surprised by it now).

I'm unclear on how it's sexist. Presumably we run in different circles because some of the most "feminist" people I've ever met do burlesque, which is literally using their looks to earn money. My impression is that

The justice system is designed to handle these ambiguities, it's literally the job of the system to gather the facts and experts and make a decision. If it gets to the point where you can't tell at all out seems like you would jus

There's a difference between a public display and a private display that seems pretty clear so these aren't the same thing.

I disagree that it's appropriate to limit their benefits. I used to feel the same way (regarding health insurance) about people who don't do exercise or eat healthy, why am I subsidizing all these people who chose to be unhealthy

by tdb7893 8y ago
I think the issue with the "don't like it, don't use it" is that it's specifically designed to be addicting. It's hard to say they aren't complicit in the harm when they designed it to be harmful (being ad

My guess is the next passengers will report it and the car will just drive back to it's home to be cleaned. If it's a big problem you could have the offender report it for a reduced cleaning fee or have the internal cameras recogn

I've met a lot of people who have programmed simple things in python without understanding the memory model at all so for most people it doesn't seem to be a large impediment.

What positive effect has it had? I'm not trying to be combative but in history (and this was at a Catholic school) I was taught that most of the good parts of modern European political philosophy came only after it became less entangle

We are paid a lot but I heard somewhere that even though we should have crazy bargaining power we still are capturing less of the profits than would be expected so tech isn't fully immune to it (especially if you aren't working at

It might be the greatest if you have a decent amount of money. My experiences with poorer rural communities really changed my perspective on the US (and I assume inner cities communities would also have the same effect).

Animals require much more feed in than you get usable meat out. Meat production increases the amount of plants you need to farm so even though plant agriculture is bad for the environment generally the best way to actually reduce it is to e
