IDK, I am not convinced. Apologies if I offended you but this linked article has ~5 citations. Only one in English is from March of 2019 which says: > “I’m not afraid of COVID-19 but what is scary, is the lack of common sense people have

> why a site like worldometer would post this as facts. I love worldometers. What would you expect them to do? They aggregate official stats. I don’t expect them to use a statistical model or something, I want the real reported numbers.

To your point, it was even widely discussed in niche areas like tech blogs and HN. However, much the same way as this hypothesis it was dismissed as a conspiracy theory, widely debunked by “experts” and downplayed. Again, not claiming this

I didn’t know that and would need to see a source. Wuhan is a major city so I just don’t know how many bats (of that specific type) live there. Also heard similar to the below comment that it was quite far away. Also seems they had just mov

I thought I knew virtually nothing about Africa. After reading this funny take I realized I actually know quite a bit of weirdly crafted bizarre misinformation about Africa. Not that you could sum up a continent of a billion people in a boo

Not OP but I do/am. Its actually part of my new years resolution. There seems to be so much racism/race fetishization now. It was not like that growing up for me and I am only a millennial. I don’t have an opinion on the Indian ca

I haven’t formalized my thinking around this so it could be an incomplete and terrible take, but I’m not sure its a problem that some companies have a “terrible” culture. Obviously, there are protected classes and laws, etc. High Level thou

I absolutely doubt this. I think it is extremely likely that Trump is nominated with Desantis. If not, it is expected that Desantis would be front runner. Straw polls do show Nikki Haley as main choice I believe though. Haven’t been followi

I think the explanation is sound maybe (I am not that familiar) but the analogy gets a bit lost when you talk about buckets of houses and buckets of vacant lots. Maybe there is a better analogy or paradigm to view this through.

Sorry, I am past the edit window. I was on mobile and used 1913 not 1970. The point still stands but obviously to a lesser extent. Thank you for correcting me

$10,000 makes absolutely no sense in this day and age. The Bank Secrecy Act was made in 1970 and 10k was >250k in todays dollars. It is borderline authoritarian to audit all transactions over 10k now.

I think this is great. Hopefully, the market will put them out of business and the industry will see this isn’t a path forward. I’m sure that it could be a valuable business model for Cricut but I think torching their brand might overtake a

I don’t doubt Trump is this much of an idiot. In fact he strikes me as an average Boomer American which is a demographic that has quite poor understanding of technology. That said, I would imagine that if you were bold enough to “hack” the

Anyone remember the political documentary/s that use Brian Eno music? At least I think it was his. They are quite popular with a bit of a conspiracy theory bend.
