Did the Kavanaugh protesters break windows, climb walls, steal stuff, and plant explosives? If they did, can you please point me to a source that shows that, because I haven't been able to find one?

I've been looking at several different sources, and I can't find a single mention of Kavanaugh protestors committing any vandalism at all. The result of Kavanaugh protests? 128 people arrested. You're comparing that with a mo

Have you tried looking for them yourself? It's not really that hard. Here's the video, judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBa5b1Xri8w

Thanks, I didn't know that. I'm still learning about American history.

Thanks! As an immigrant, I'm still not very well versed in American history.

Thanks, I should've been more explicit about what I was doubting. I'll go edit my comment so I don't have to repeat the explanation to everyone who decides to reply :)

I'm curious: what's the line between Terms of Service and editorial authority? I don't know the exact wording of section 230. Even if I knew it, it wouldn't help, because I'm not a lawyer. That's why I don&#x27

IANAL, but I somehow doubt that's how pardons work. EDIT: What I specifically doubt is that Trump can just write out a pardon for "anyone on Parler". Doesn't it have to be a pardon for someone specific? Or can it be as g

You're right that it's technically democracy. You're wrong that there's simply no other way. I don't know what that other way is, but the society needs to keep evolving. The current state of democracy in countries l

You hit the nail on the head there. And it's not just K-12 math, either. I don't know about Australia, but I can see what it's like here in the US. I moved here 7 years ago, and my son has gone through a public elementary sch

Yes, I've looked at all the pictures in the author's story. And it never occurred to me to assume those are pictures of a ghetto the author lives in, as implied by the words "the real solution to the author's angst is to

Software development is a field with a lot of breadth and depth, and a lot of engineers do not regularly come into contact with things that are "far away" from them. The other day I saw a comment on a forum about a videogame sayin

This isn't about whether @madhadron's point in that paragraph was wrong, it's about civility. The usage of "ghetto" was gratuitous.

At least you can find all your languages in the list. I'm in that funny position where I can see Dothraki and Klingon, but not one of the real world languages I care about ;) FWIW, there is another one that I can use, that is almost id

That's a very interesting question! I think it shifts the goalposts a bit from what I've originally replied to, but I say that as a good thing, because it makes the discussion even more interesting and it allows me to better expla

We shouldn't have to, no. Ask yourself why you think it should be necessary to always explicitly talk about slavery whenever we discuss the US constitution. Think about it this way: you don't rehash the rules of football (or &qu

Okay, so it looks like I didn't actually miss anything in your arguments. I think it's fair of you to point out that there are certain scenarios in which healthcare is not paid for by the person getting it and everyone else ends

I can't speak for @aaomidi who made the original comment. I can tell you that my own reply wasn't snarky. I simply pointed out that Iran isn't the only country in the world where the value of $100 is much different from its v

Fine, do you know how much $100 is in Serbia?

Having a process is fine. Implementing that process with tools that have horrible usability is... less fine.

Thank you.

From your other comment, I see you're in the US. Do you mind if I ask which state?

I don't get it. Isn't "every MLB player who agreed to play" too small a sample size to be useful?

Okay, that matches my experience with V8. Thanks.

The tech industry in general might not need unions yet , but game dev industry is a clear example of where they're sorely needed.

I not sure I understand the point of your comment. The parent comment literally said that there are many unions like that, but that this is not what a union has to be and that there are several unions that are a net positive. The whole poin

Please, let's not assume things we don't know about each other. Whether I've known kids like that is something you have no idea about, along with where I've lived, who I've gone to school with, etc.
