We've been trying "your" value system for a while now, doesn't seem to be working. Not working is a nice way of saying degenerate, but no one seems to like that word right now.

We explicitly ban bad behaviour in wider society and people still do it and still ruin many innocent people's lives as a result. Drunk driving, violence, disturbing the peace, stealing, coming home drunk and beating your family, etc. T

Also known as the No True Scotsman argument https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman . "You weren't doing real Agile™". The only reason I'm posting this is because we have had similar things

This is all done by government to effectively disempower the citizens from doing things themselves or in any sort of cooperative manner (even if provably safe etc etc). Oddly enough they turn around and then refuse to protect the citizens f

Maybe this is a reverse fizz-buzz filtering test. I.e. they want to self-select themselves out of positions that require them knowing such basics. Either that or they're completely incompetent. Likewise it takes a special kind of stupi

You'd think it's that easy. Some places literally are unable to do anything unless you're some sort of "signatory" or the actual account holder. No amount of if, buts, maybes, and certified/stamped copies of de

But like what? Genuinely curious for an example of "blatantly false claims"? As I'm on the "right" side of the spectrum, and these kinds of comments come from a criticism of "misinformation". Also, as an a

This is purely Uber trying to keep the truth from both sides. They know drivers don't want to take short/crappy/long/etc drives. They know these drivers use various means to avoid taking those rides, yet they do nothing

The typewriter is irrelevant to the value equation at that point. You're paying for "potential" human labour, and that's governed by scarcity and fundamental limitations of how much a human can physically do. I.e. you&#x

I've never seen fridge plastic decompose. What are you doing to those materials that makes them do that? I've never in my entire life's existence seen plastic inside a fridge that has "decomposed". I've just se

You make it illegal for people to profit off of the regulation? Make it so the only "money" they get is in the form of paying doctors, psychiatrists and counselors. Raise the bar to prove that monetary compensation is needed. Als

In my context, I live in a different country. Here the real middle-class is taxed way more strictly than in America, due to the high level of inequality skewing the stats. I'm no where near "well off" or "wealthy",

Not just rich friends, some cultures have a big thing for paying for your friends as a celebratory act. You take turns though after many years which averages out anyways though. It helps those in temporary bad times, too.

What about sales tax, VAT, fuel levies, consumption taxes, gift taxes, inheritance taxes, etc. Your state or country may not have all of the above. But they are all there to tax you to ridiculous amounts but not at the "start". Sa

It's all marketing at the end of the day. But tbf, after a decade of a many public sector projects, I have first-hand seen really incompetent and wasteful actions on huge scales. Perhaps there should he a whistle blower program for rep

I was very confused by the headline. Like wtf is "year on year profit", and what does it mean that this year's is down by 95%. Just tell me that last year profits were 11B, and now they're 0.5B. And here it is: https:&#

I thought the other one was even more odd: "Oh Youtube keeps promoting right-wing, eradicate the Jews content". But, to be fair, I didn't say I don't see antisemitic content. That for sure pops up once in a while in very

The older I get, the less "turn the other cheek" I feel like being towards bullies, and that's what this is, bullying. I want to leave a fair and equitable world for my (white) children, not one filled with hatred and racism.

I don't know what to tell you. I watch "right wing content" exclusively and not even I got "exterminate the jews" level content. Though I see plenty of commentary about day to day beliefs by academia that calls for

Where is this hate coming from? Teams is amazing, and I much prefer it to things like slack for company comms, even more so for its integration with Outlook and AD. MS is doing an amazing job and they deserve to be rewarded for this amazing

All they had to do was leave it alone. Maybe leave a team to do moderation and keep things running operationally, and done. Heck, spin it off as a sub company and resell the stack overflow brand and do nothing. They actively went out of the

Not OP. But I would propose that the agenda is to add more fuel to the race struggle prompted by academia that needs an "evil" oppressor.

That's not how the media and most people see it, unfortunately. Anything remotely mean or intolerant that happens to not be left leaning is auto-labelled far right. It's what I would argue is the silent and unlabeled bias of the m

So it's a conveniently self-imposed "problem", because websites could also just "sell adspace" like a billboard that anyone could confirm was displaying what was paid for. But instead of that, they created a problem
