Quite the edit there. The start of the discussion was someone saying he found it hard to feel bad for those outed by the leak and then you writing some paragraphs about how he was condemning those individuals. All I was trying to add was a

Yes. No, it's not equivalent to cheating on your partner, but it's still wrong. Much like drawing/distributing pictures of sexualized children is still wrong even if it's an outlet that (and you can't prove this, wh

I'm not accusing them of being cheaters, I'm accusing them of signing up for a website with the explicit goal of either cheating on your partner or entering a relationship with someone who is doing so. Whether or not that's m

Again, I'm not condemning anyone. "It's hard to feel bad for" =/= Condemnation All I said was that Ashley Madison explicitly markets itself as a site to cheat on your partners. You'll find plenty of people (mys

I think saying "it's hard to feel bad for" is a far cry from "condemning everyone". This is a lot of words to try to absolve the members of a site explicitly about cheating on your partner of any wrongdoing.

It's not interesting because if you are talking global temperatures (which is what the article is about) we haven't had a coldest month ever recorded in... decades.

I think you'll find (and the comments on this story illustrate the point quite succinctly) that there are still many idiots who are willing to tow the "human driven climate change is a made up thing" Sad but true

I'm guessing that has more to do with the novelty factor. Small children fall prey to those types of psychological tricks quite easily... I'd really think twice before letting a toddler on the internet.

I never said capital was simply hard equipment, but I'd like to hear what your definition of capital is that "learning a new skill" falls under that? I mean, we're talking economics here so there's a level of interp

by zajd 11y ago
Learning a new skill or trade doesn't give you access to the "means of production", capital does. And inequality is as bad as it's ever been over the past 50 years. A few tech startup darlings doesn't change that.

Can you provide an example of this? Either way, in a Q&A site like StackOverflow, asking for more context for a problem is rarely an issue in of itself. I find that more often than not people that are put off by that are in fact asking
