The real problem here is how index funds are directed. 3 firms - Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard, control at least 25% of the board seats in almost every Fortune 500 company because when you put your money into an index fund (which is

It's scary how many people still parrot this line, which is 100% incorrect. The baker was happy to sell them a cake. They had many cakes in the store that they could have bought. The baker did not want to be compelled to create a cus

This isn't true in the US thanks to the vast public library system, coupled with interlibrary loans. Any child can get access to any book for free. School libraries aren't required to carry every book.

Well at least here in the US, those "professionals" are failing hard at their jobs, with test scores falling year after year (beginning long before COVID). So it's understandable that parents have lost some faith in them.

I agree, but the sad reality is that the reason the tech industry is as heavy handed on spying as it is, is because the people who work in tech want it that way. Despite their protestations, there is a lot of god complex in the industry s

That's not realistic at all.

The uneven application of that policy was especially noticeable in regards to anti-white tweets that were so prevalent. At least Reddit was honest enough to come right out and say their anti-racism rules didn't apply to anti-white sent

I'm comfortable being on the other side of the argument from anybody who says biological sex exists on a spectrum and compares the number of sexes to the set of complex numbers. As to gender, well then it sounds like you're just

So then what constitutes a gender now, and how many are there?

by yucky 4y ago
This doesn't even read like an answer to my comment. I am genuinely curious, how many genders are there? And what are they, and who determines what constitutes a gender?

by yucky 4y ago
Not sure I agree about the right being more likely to deny science, considering the way discussion around gender seems to work. I'm still trying to find out just how many there are, but nobody knows. Of course, we're not allowed t

The greatest of all time is always understood to mean the greatest of all time so far . Nobody is pretending this is predictive of the future. There might be a 9 year old out there right now that is going to grow up and destroy Jordan&#x27

Michael Jordan definitely didn't have this mindset, and he was the greatest of all time. He was the epitome of cut throat.

> It's obvious looking at the data that vaccines reduce transmission. Really? I don't think I know a single person who got vaccinated and didn't get COVID again, several times in some cases.

That's nice, but irrelevant. Forcing an artist to represent art in a way it isn't intended, is absurd. What is the argument for it?
