Maybe the site needs a quick explainer of what Elo ranking is. Perhaps people should have to pass a multiple choice question about it before they can start ranking. Conflating Elo ranking with goodness is shockingly dimwitted - I'd thi

San Francisco has become a city of one-party rule, which simply does not work. It never will. When a political party's power goes unchecked, it always becomes corrupt, incompetent, or both. This is universal and irrespective of ostensi

The FBI's Uniform Crime Reports (second link) contains statistics from 2019. However, it seems to be the most recent edition. I have no idea if or where the 2020-2022 ones exist. If someome could point me to them or explain why they do

America is a land of extremes. We actually have relatively high standard of living thanks to extremely high wages, which allow us to live lives of relative luxury. We also have high wealth inequality and tolerate many horrors - some unfatho

That strikes me as a cherry-picked statistic. San Francisco is one of the most crime-ridden cities in America. > San Franciscans face about a 1-in-16 chance each year of being a victim of property or violent crime, which makes the city m

I cannot recall the last time I've seen such a bipartisan push for something so monumental. Just within the past week, Senators Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Mark Warner (D-VA) have been saying virtually the same thing: TikTok is an unprecede

Of all the areas Silicon Valley has disrupted, it's profoundly frustrating that political lobbying isn't one of them. I'm not aware of any startups even attempting it.

I'm sorry that this is happening to your son, OP. I think your solutions are: (1) buy him an iPhone or (2) stand up to the bullying in some capacity. Not to grandstand, but this is one of the many reasons why I strongly believe childre

Reddit already does have a policy like this. Try writing a comment containing "rdrama.net" in it.

I haven't heard of physical growth hormones per se, but it's definitely true of the psychological equivalent that is Adderall and related methamphetamine prescriptions for ADHD or "ADHD." It does wonders for getting kids

I am of the least charitable echelon of people when it comes to Trump supporters, but even I recognize that this is untrue. Trump has clearly fallen off, as is evident by the remarkable underperformance of his endorsed candidates in the mid

I wouldn't be surprised if the employee who did this gets fired as a result of this. In fact, I'd be shocked if @paulg isn't reinstated within 48 hours (as they did with Taylor Lorenz a few hours ago.) All of Musk's pre

This is insane. Elon Musk himself [replied to @paulg]( https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1604258004706201602 ) not even 24 hours ago. I bet this will be reversed (quite possibly along with the new anti-competitive
