I guess I don't see why it is stupid in this example? The intent is to represent everyone and not just the majority. Things are not "stupid" just because they don't go your way.

How many has Facebook? Twitter? Back when I was in high school (graduated 2014), three students within my district committed suicide from cyber bullying conducted through these platforms, there wasn't even any bans! Kiwi-farms seems fa

Well your passive aggression has me even less convinced in your honesty, this isn't my first rodeo, I'm not gonna blindly trust random testimony without evidence. I genuinely fail to see how kiwi-farms is worse than Twitter or any

Not him, but I think I can provide a blunt answer, though I'll caveat that it is likely different than what he may have provided, and one you will probably not like: I do not take people requesting me to eat less meat seriously. My fam

If they are trivial to find then why aren't you linking them? This thread is the first I'm even hearing of kiwi-farms, but skimming through I'm only seeing direct evidence in favor of them and only vague unsourced allegations

In regards to oil company profits, isn't that just normal supply & demand? Doesn't it make sense that with Russian sanctions, demand for alternative sources of oil should rise and result in higher costs? Even if the oil compan

The lead for a project I wasn't working on casually informed me they were doing this a few years ago, the reason for it was nothing complicated, they just hated HTTP status codes and believed it was easier to pretend they didn't e

But policy is a genuine materialization of their powers vs what people believe they will do with them. For all his faults I struggle to understand how Trump was in any way "Authoritarian"/ "Fascist" when his polic

Sorry but this didn't really answer my question. Taking popular stances, that even you admit to agreeing with, and calling them dog whistles because some fringe group doesn't agree with it in exactly the same way as you, is really

I'm not sure how making children get up earlier in the morning builds character? It seems like a very silly assertion to me, and not one motivated by self-improvement.

Personally I believe any level of sentience would be hugely significant, however whether Lambda actually qualifies is a different matter since we simply don't have enough information. I'll note that the engineer's behavior do

I have also been considering this but can't help but feel the incentives here are a bit off. Like it would make sense for maybe a business to do this to better sell their efforts but in this case it's kind of the reverse right? It

I believe vegan diets are detrimental to health, I consider being healthy necessary for human life. I realize vegans like to imply the opposite but not only has the evidence been unconvincing, but I frankly have never met a healthy looking
