I agree with the phrase "black lives matter". But I absolutely do not support the political group "BLM", which stands for a number of liberal ideas that have nothing to do with black people. For example their "what

It's true, the list is growing every day. I remember not long ago how the term "sexual preference" became considered offensive overnight, purely for political reasons. It was interesting to see even the dictionary immediately

Basically all of your statements apply to your own post. You created a pointless subthread and resorted to direct insults that are far more inflammatory than anything I said.

It's shocking to me how people can suggest with a straight face that certain races can't be racist. You should be able to read something and determine if it's racist by the intended message. It shouldn't be a requirement

>We are removing false claims that the wildfires in Oregon were started by certain groups. I don't get how Facebook can say with certainty this is misinformation? It's information that hasn't been verified. There is an imp

The thought of China creating an army of genetically modified 200 IQ super soldiers/scientists is both fascinating and horrifying. It's comparable to the technological singularity that would occur if we had chains of AI creating s

You're right, I had an incorrect definition of "cost".

>Cost has absolutely no influence on how much the customer is willing to pay. Giffen goods are an example of where that isn't true. I have personally experienced it myself when I became more tempted to buy BTC as the price started r

What motivates you to lie about something that is both trivial and easily falsifiable? A quick glance at coinmarketcap shows BTC daily volume in 2016 peaked around 360 million USD. Today the 24h volume is at 70 billion.

It's only better for me in an idealistic scenario where my local militia succeeds. If a bigger and stronger one comes around then my life could quickly become horrible.

by tuesdayrain 6y ago
Currently I behave because it's in my interest to abide by laws, even those I don't agree with. If all authority disappeared overnight, I believe my best course of action would be to immediately assemble an armed militia so we cou

Of course such things are possible! All we have to do is <something realistically impossible>.

I certainly behave better in the presence of authority. It's unlikely I am the only one.

Hooks aren't always comparable to lifecycle methods. At my company every GraphQL query/mutation has a corresponding hook. There are frequently times when devs are tempted to use them, especially the mutations, in for loops.

Why is adding slavery so controversial, yet almost no one thinks twice about adding murder to their game?

China is increasing spending on R&D, meanwhile America is increasing spending on "diversity training". Top Chinese universities admit the most brilliant students who study tirelessly, American universities actively deny those

I can't stand the notion that a group consisting of white men is automatically not diverse. It implies that people who belong to the same race or gender all behave similarly. Also for some reason the "importance" of diversity

I see poverty as an orthogonal issue here, since there are plenty of African Americans from affluent families. If Microsoft's goal was helping people of any race break the cycle of poverty, I would consider that perfectly fair. Fightin

Or in many cases, it's annoying your staff with anti-white racism under the guise of being pro-diversity.

That's a very interesting explanation for why most supporters of communism I see are artists, actors, or just generally unemployed.

There's nothing inherently racist about attempting to claim your political opponent cannot legally be president.

Toxoplasmosis being commonly carried by cats is one of the main reasons I will never own one. I am certain it's not a coincidence that cat scratches are associated with depression. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/

"Diversity" has unfortunately become an Orwellian word for me. I find it unsettling that people are essentially being treated like collectibles and corporations strive to own every different color/gender. You could have a g
