This is bizarre nonsense. Because you don't know how to do something successfully then the government should regulate it for everyone? People have been raising huge families for ages. Mormon families for example are known for often b

Do people regularly mass murder each other over sports? Because that's the stakes we're talking about here in context. Brawling and screaming over a sport is much preferred to bombing and poisoning.

As for the weird rapey song, it actually originates from a youtube channel that makes comedy videos. It's based on a creepy/horror game called Baldi's Basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlouAA8mRZo Obvio

Why does it ever need to be proven? Prove any of us here are sentient; or any of your family, or colleagues. If a machine demonstrates apparent volition, sense of self, independent motives, then we cannot afford to debate such things while

If evidence on their position was completely missing or neutral then I would agree with you. Sadly, this is far from a straw man because there is evidence that they do not care. These are the same people who actively work against giving chi

It is curious to wonder how they managed to lead the company this successfully. How often do young founders actually hang onto leadership this long without either imploding or being replaced? Why are the Collison brothers different?

Women already feel pressure to perform sexual favors in exchange for things. That is a problem with society and culture, quite separate from what we're talking about here. All adult women want is the empowerment to make decisions for

Can someone explain to me why Microsoft file and directory names are always so hideous? Like, what in the world is cd12, cd2, cd3, cd9? Somehow it gets worse when you click into them.
