Maybe people havent voted this way consciously. There really aren't any hard problems anymore. Nothing really requires you to chew on it, deeply look into it, or attempt to truly understand it. Got a question? Go to wikipedia, or reddi

Ah yes the classic "huwhite people and muh racism" gambit. It's tired. H1Bs are gamed to the point of uselessness. Most companies internally post H1B job offerings so people are aware. I've yet to see one with a competit

If the goal is to improve something don't make it worth 50% of your grade. When you attach a literal degree to something being done "right" and not "demonstrated considerable improvement" you're going to get pe

Most people, for a long time, lose the ability to simply "make friends" as they age. Work, family, etc. A lot of the time when you've got mouthes to feed you really only have work to make friends. I support remote work entire

This is an appeal to emotion. While people should have autonomy over their lives we should not be legalizing assisting them. This is a path that is well-trodden. Many dictatorships have "mercifully euthanized" various sectors of p

With a large enough antenna and enough power you can cook your neighbor. The ham radio licensing procedure in the US mostly focuses on this effect. Even though there's nothing conclusive I'd imagine there are other deleterious eff

Attributing "capitalism" to the increase of value to "shareholders" is a mischaracterization of capitalism. It's the only system that has worked for one singular reason: People want more value for more work. If I wo

I would not call billboards for clothing featuring morbidly obese people "fringe". "Fat acceptance" is actually quite popular. It's not fringe. Fringe is being a furry. The entire medical field walks on egg shells b

I'd love to do this - I have had so many ideas and just wanted to take a sabbatical to refocus after the corporate grind. Unfortunately I need healthcare. An ACA plan cost me $1200/mo. over COVID when I was out of work for two mon

The Dell XPS line I have bought once and will never buy again. I believe mine was a souped up 92xx. Less than a year later the battery bloated for no reason. Put another one, bloated again. Turns out there was some manufacturer issue with t

Spoken like a manager. Look, when you're barking orders at the guys in the trenches who, understandably in fear for their jobs, do the stupid "business-smart" thing, then it is entirely the fault of management. I can't

This is only true because you've minced words. An insurance company sells options contracts. We call it healthcare. It is , aside from a few small differences, the same as a put or a call. An insurance company's day-to-day operati

While I see your point (0 > 1, by definition) I think this sends the wrong message. You need several hours of relatively strenuous exercise per week. Walking around the neighborhood, or your house, or whatever has diminishing returns. Yo

If they sold it as a "universal right to basic healthcare" it would be more palatable to most people. Fact of the matter is most abortions are elective. It is, in fact, about unwanted children. It is however a shame actual health

I see Kamala's issues as follows: 1. She's one of the least liked candidates in history. The Democrats haven't run a real "change" candidate that could cross the aisles since Obama. Hillary was already widely dislik
