Not every statement needs to contain refutable claims. Where do you think hypotheses come from?

It’s insane that college finance has anything to do with parents. Probably a mistake to even have expensive colleges, unless you’re deliberately trying to reproduce inequality.

The last two projects I worked on that used React, it was pretty obvious that there it served no purpose other than to make webdev into “hard” software engineering. Even the tiniest design changes required expensive software devs to impleme

Hahaha, I guess you can’t.

Sure, but can you even count the people killed under capitalism?

My kid’s school did mostly phonics with a fair amount of sight reading for common words. What a weird thing to be an absolutist about.

The main problem is with how records are mastered and remastered now (the loudness war). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war

Britain makes the best cars in the world, the problem is they only make a few dozen a year. All that hard work, just for Lewis Hamilton to lead a parade.

Wells Fargo has been in the news for one fiasco or another for 20 years. How are they still in business? Their reputation is terrible. I guess people don’t talk about their banks that much.

Haha, it was 1,945 when I was studying Japanese, times change. Kind of surprised they added characters rather than further shrink the list.

I thought the number of standard kanji was only about 1900 to begin with.

I kind of think if you need hundreds of people looking at horrible content all day, then maybe your business is messed up and shouldn’t exist. Humans can survive without Facebook. It’s not like they’re hospice workers or criminal investigat

I see a lot of comments here are missing the point. America just has too much infrastructure (roads for cars), spread way too thin. Walkable, bikeable neighborhoods require much less in the way of paving, highways, interchanges, etc. It&#x2

Wait, you didn't have an internal monologue until somebody told you it would help? That is really weird. I'd give anything to turn mine off.

American society, led by its rich, capitalist elites, divides people into winners and losers, from the time children are born through their whole lives. People are buried in a system of hierarchy and dominance. If you want people to feel li

I’ll admit it, I couldn’t understand any of the Adorno I read in school, except for the part where he hated jazz, so I wrote him off. On the whole I haven’t found much useful in the Frankfurt school, especially compared to what your average

There is no rising above politics. Conflict is unavoidable. People disagree about things. If you have political goals you have to do politics.

To me at least, food is like chemo, I’ll die without it, but it makes me feel terrible.

Kind of weird that people expected to get paid simply for having money in the first place.
