I do not think we should make people who spread hate feel comfortable spreading that hate. The president is unequivocally spreading hate and inciting violence. He should not be able to do that when doing that is against the TOS of the site

I empathize with this a bit; it has been super frustrating to me to be exposed to what I consider subpar sources. However, after quite a few frustrations with this site, I read a lot of dang's comments about the nature of this site. H

This reply elides the fact that there are quite a few American police officers who have killed American citizens in similar circumstances to this one who are free and have never been convicted. Yes, it would be great if the law worked as we

> If someone is unhappy about not being listened to and their response is to burn down half a neighborhood in my city maybe there was a good reason we weren’t listening to everything they had to say. They were saying “don’t kill me”. Thi

It’s is wildly racist that this comment, and many other comments on here, are far more focused on the rioters than the murder that occurred on a sidewalk in broad daylight.

How many of those people who died from cancer and heart diseased are aged 18-45? These numbers are largely irrelevant if we dont compare them apples-to-apples with the numbers in their proper cohort. In any case, these tactics, namely cherr

Thank you for posting the data. These are both brand new from yesterday, however, so I’m not sure why the tone here is so belligerent. Either way, this is incredibly interesting, and something we should continue to look into going forward.

Where do you see the data that 80% of people are asymptomatic? You complain elsewhere in this thread of being dismissed even when you have data, yet provide none. We understand that you think that the lockdowns are bunk and that this is a b

I wholeheartedly agree. I can not reconcile this apology with the blatant use of dark patterns they employed when trying to roll out this product.

Wow, this reads as incredibly disingenuous considering the glaring dark patterns they were using to try and sell your private data and make more money. I cannot reconcile this apology with the underhanded tactics the CEO was using to promot

Does it matter what you think here though? Your customers gave you their data under one pretense, why do you think you can ethically change that pretense without discussing it with your customers? Said another way, you entered into a busine

This thread has two or three very vocal, antagonistic and ignorant actors using lazy rhetorical tactics to agitate, deflect and confuse what is a very straightforward topic: mail in voter fraud doesn’t exist and aggressive attempts to say i

You just don’t like my response so instead of responding to me you chastise me and call me names. It seems a bit ironic to do such a thing by calling me “juvenile.” I tend not to enjoy discussions where the other party mandates what I can a

Please stop insisting we have evidence when none exists. My question was: do we have evidence that warm weather slows Covid outbreaks? So far, the answer is “no”, and asserting anything else is not an argument, it’s a made up story.

Do you have any data to support the assertion that higher temperatures help calm Covid rates? Seeing as Singapore is having an extremely tough time right now, I don’t think you do. This is pure supposition.

This thread is just low effort trolling at this point. Maybe that New Yorker article really ruined this forum for good?

Living in the Bay Area, I find the food scene amazing. I do, however, find the food scene in San Francisco bland and repetitive. The same pattern holds for cultural activities and the outdoors; SF has the same things over and over again, wh

People are going hungry because they live in food deserts. The GP has proved this and you dismiss it. Why would people make this argument if people weren’t actually going hungry?

This argument elides the fact that the US government is giving away plenty of money that these people could use on food and rent. They are just giving it to people who don’t need it. While you’re busy arguing that the shutdown is the proble

This is exactly how we should be dealing with the issue of hateful, bad faith actors in this community; point them out and tell them they don’t belong. Thank you for posting this, truly. We will never beat back the hate that has consumed th

It is incredibly difficult to read posts like this in good faith. More and more people come here to tell us not to believe facts, to disregard what our eyes and ears tell us. It is not hard to connect the dots
