That's a false equivalence though and not what the alternative option is here. The government was killing its enemies 100 years before the word digital was invented and will continue to do so as long as government exist. They will use

Huge fan and check back regularly. I don’t read most of the articles but am eagerly awaiting Betrayal at Krondor which should be right around the corner. He loosely goes in order of release and is in 1993 right now I believe.

Is this not a generic phenomenon though with no specific relation to Kpop? I was involved in campus recruiting a decade ago and remember distinctly all of the deep discussions the students were having about Kony2012 and what they should do

FYI Kpop is "very" popular in some segments of American culture that you just might not cross over with. I experience it frequently in the "Team Fight Tactics" ecosystem which is an E-Sport run by Riot Games (of League o

What about the cuban revolution? This comment is about as low brow as they come.

Trying to engage with this comment in good faith is very difficult. The best case I can come up with is you are engaging in significant hyperbole to push forward some point you are passionate about. Congress has passed nearly a hundred bill

It’s a chain that can be found everywhere in America from the Vegas strip (with a VIP party room upstairs no less!) to the smallest town and sells very cheap “Mexican themed” food like tacos and burritos. It’s especially loved by people on

I don’t have any answers but remembered a fact that seemed relevant here. Men leave nursing at a much higher rate than women[1]. I’m not sure if it’s just a law of large numbers thing here, discrimination against women in tech/men in n

For sure no. If you are storing a trove of copyrighted movies, revenge porn, or child porn then you would for sure not have it marked for public access. Google clearly doesn’t want their storage to be used for these nefarious purposes but a

Sounds like Steam early access with metics and feedback. Maybe it’s referencing social media campaign to measure interest during the early prototype stage like star citizen has been doing.

I am firmly pro choice and this is stupid and doesn’t stand to two seconds of reason. Juvenile arguments like this make the debate worse for everyone involved. The concept of a “person” in the context of a carpool lane is obviously a person

The state of Florida publishes professor salaries, likely other states do too. Your assessment of “poorly paid” falls on deaf ears for most Americans not making tech salaries.

“We” don’t dictate to the whole world how to live, that would be ludicrous as you just stated. We dictate the terms for behaving if you want to do business with us and our friends…just like the rest of the world. Most people don’t care abou

Most humans were illiterate and had a small vocabulary consistently of only a tiny portion of their languages actual vocabulary. The modern world with its high literacy rates is exceptional. As a direct result many words have completely los

They are probably hoping this is season 1 of 10 of a breakout show. Impossible to do that if you use famous actors in season 1 (unless they die in season 1 like Sean Bean in Game of Thrones) because they will all be demanding untenable sala

I buy vitamins. It’s because of a vitamin deficiency identified by my yearly doctor visit. When I am good about taking them, my numbers come back good. When I am not, she reports a deficiency again. I don’t guarantee my life would be worse

Wait that actually sounds awesome. What we’re your issues with this practice? A 3 day code freeze while everyone works to solidify a “meeting of the minds” followed by 87 days of heads down progress sounds like fucking heaven to me compared

Large segments of America have free lunch. Some segments don’t because we let them run their districts of the empire how they want to run them. Some segments of America have installed these cameras, most have not. Do you have any evidence t

Are they having sex at the border of Texas? They should probably be arrested for that. Your assertion is obviously ridiculous, traveling gay men will not be arrested simply for being gay. It’s the young gay men trapped in the state we shoul

This is blatantly untrue to the level of fear mongering. The politician can’t do whatever he wants. The election simply moves from republican candidate against democrat candidate to the primaries where the top 3 politicians from the dominan

Perhaps the most famous OSINT collective is Netherlands-based Bellingcat, which has used such techniques to investigate conflicts in Syria, Mexico, Iraq, and Ukraine. Wijeratne described Watchdog deferentially as “a junkyard version of Bell

Only in the US? What about Australia or Canada? What about China or Russia? You have no idea how hard it can be to fire a state or federal employee here in the US. I’m guessing there are regions or industries in Europe where it is easy to f

This is me so long as you consider me a high-achiever. I got addicted to coke when I was young and as an adult I drink lots of Coke Zero (previously Diet Coke) because I can't or don't want to break the habit and I want to preserv

We are not in control of what happens. No one is at the console pressing buttons. We are growing because millions of individuals are making individual decisions resulting in run away growth. The best we can do is alter the incentives and ho

Huge factorio/satisfactory fan so I can’t wait to get home and try this. Would you mind sharing a high level number on how much it cost to buy all of the art for the game? I saw you mention around $500 per model in another comment but

Triangle Strategy was a surprisingly fun and addictive game you might be interested in. Close to Final Fantasy Tactics in gameplay but with a branching narrative. I have also been really enjoying my switch recently while my Oculus collects

I got rid of all my Rokus and replaced them with Fires because Amazon removed Twitch from the Roku and it’s a large part of my streaming content. I grumbled at them for making me do it, but I still did it because at the end of the day I jus
