The issue isn't just isolated to those living around it. Methane is an extremely potent greenhouse gas ( https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-bad-of-a-gree... ), letting it leak out like that for a year ha

I thought that would have happened too when other subreddits were quarantined or banned (and it briefly did when fatpeoplehate was banned) but honestly the banned discourse does not show up on the front page or /r/all, as they int

Unfortunately the problem seems to be a Prisoner's dilemma for countries - curbing CO2 emissions without all other countries doing so puts said country at an economic disadvantage. It also puts a large onus on developing countries that

The most frustrating part of this for me is there is no (relatively) easy way to override this behavior. Its fine to disable the addons, but please allow me to "understand the risks" and continue against Firefox's recommendat

I agree with you in the sense that especially in America a lot of the bike lanes are really just faded single lines littered with gravel, and practically speaking following the Vehicular Cycling model has been very successful for me in inte

Its especially frustrating how cities will try almost anything to alleviate traffic instead of encouraging cycling. Its less taxing on the roads, it doesn't pollute, it doesn't require a schedule and best of all it takes up peanut

I haven't needed it in the city I'm at now, but I used to wear a USA flag as a cape when riding in less biking friendly areas. It was night and day how drivers treated me.

I just want people to be less 'secretive' about receiving parental support; in my peer group it seems almost shameful to have help, yet I can guarantee all of us have received some sort of financial help from family. It seems disi

Its even worse when you look at how its been declining the past 50 years ( https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/02/23/385843576/50-y... ) way before the "young folks" even entered th

I honestly found it very refreshing how explicit and upfront they were about their data collection. There are plenty of "free" products that try hard to hide the fact that they are doing it too; this time I felt like I was actuall

True; my primary exposure to the US prison system has been in Texas which certainly sees its share there. I suppose it would be more apt to say that the fact that the justice system allows a private interest to be involved shows how corrupt

It is extremely concerning to me how these tech executives are so enamored with Chinas working conditions and all-pervasive data collection as if it was the pinnacle of living in the 21st century. What happened to the dream of letting techn

With all of this discussion in Washington about Russian hacking and Russian voter influencing, why are these demonstrably vulnerable voting machines hardly mentioned? It would seem to me this should be a number one priority to prevent outsi

I would imagine a major responsibility of the FCC is ensuring communications in an emergency and they are clearly failing. I immediately think of this article as well https://www.npr.org/2018/08/22/640815074&#

I'm sure it does. Even if I already was a BoA customer in this theoretical scenario, I would also prefer to be in the know to avoid that specific POS/gas station company until the issue was resolved, instead of wondering why my id

Okay, but what about potential customers of BoA that have no idea that the bank they want to entrust their money to has a huge known exploit that increases their chances of identity theft? Does the customer not have a right to know what the

I get that the article is supposed to be a counter-point to the rapid legalization, but you are absolutely right. Being almost impossible to overdose on means they can't use scary death statistics, and it might be too early to have any

Yes, but most paid VPNs have several different servers and ports to choose from for this very reason. Its been a while but Private Internet Access' chat support was very helpful in troubleshooting my ISP throttling my VPN connections.

Genuinely curious, can you expand on how you will achieve the middle-ground between safe space and hate speech? I would assume you are aware of Voat.co and think everyone would agree they are suffering from the "paradox of intolerance&
