I don't remember seeing a single political problem in any of my math books (except maybe some extremely bland ones in statistics.) You can get by without them and they add nothing.

London is a miserable failure, not only in terms of crime and inequality but you've kicked an ancient island people out of their capitol city. Isn't the displacement of indigenous people something we're supposed to feel bad a

No they're not. And if you're going to assert something (especially something that absurd) you should at least justify it with an argument. I'm sure you're thinking something along the lines of "Android has an SELin

Yes, social security is collectivist. When you do something collectivist like this you have to be very careful about edge cases because they're rarely self correcting. It doesn't matter how much money you've saved up over y

Artificial nitrogen fixation is what caused the population boom after the 19th century. It's also arguably one of the primary causes for the first World War.

Yeah that's part of living in civilization. If you don't like it you can go live in Somalia. An alternative would be to just get rid of social security but that seems pretty unpopular. If you're going to have socialism you ha

It's useful to show to people who don't understand AI. There's a mental effect similar to "the computer is always right" where people will see AI doing something and assume it's some engineered piece of softwar

No. By not having kids you save a lot of time and money that should have gone into the future. That's your refund.

Yup. I've said in other places that people who can have kids but don't probably shouldn't get social security.

People have to stop measuring things and need to start justifying things with arguments. I like to compare "data driven decision making" and "reason driven decision making." Animals make data driven decisions, you don&#x

Regardless, both murder and capital punishment are state level issues.

A lot of our current problem is actually caused by too little domestic population growth. They tried to cover it up with low interest rates and immigration but it isn't working.

Perhaps legal immigration is but immigration overall is very high. I've hit my quota, here's my reply: illegal immigrants still have to live somewhere So they're going to take housing off the market. They manage to rent hou

It's not exactly all about supply and I talked about that in my original comment but maybe that needs clarification. Yes the prices are high because supply is limited, normally that would drive construction but because the prices are s

We will never have good mobile OSs until people acknowladge that "modern" mobile OSs are entirely a regression. If this ever happens then OSes like PostMarketOS are the future.

Capital punishment isn't murder and again that's a state level decision. Maybe do a bit of reading before deciding you have reached the ultimate understanding of law and morality.

I don't know what you mean by "yeah Alabama is correct." SCOTUS haven't banned abortion, just delegated^ the decision. How ignorant of US politics and law are you? Also my position isn't an extreme one and when you

High immigration + no construction -> High demand + low supply. Then on top of that you have record inflation with stagnant wages. The market is being completely rational. What "overvalued" here means is "are homes expensi

We have different states so people can agree to disagree. That's the whole point behind the "United States." The alternative to this is a further breakdown of American politics. EDIT: I'm out of quota, here's my rep

This is why I prefer just writing html/markdown and letting pandoc generate docx. Fiddling with the Word GUI when I know what I want and how to type it is just frustrating.

I think the original idea is much more whataboutist(?.) It's literally "What about the Nazis in a different country a century ago?"

There absolutely are ads on Twitter. I tried creating an account the other week and it relentlessly shoved a bunch of NFL stuff in my face despite the fact that I never engaged with it. I'm absolutely certain that was paid.
