I don't have any tolerance for people who put everyone else at risk. Take their license, take their cars, send them to prison if they try driving again.

This habit of latching onto one word specifically to ignore what everyone knows is obnoxious, pedantic, and most of the time not even technically correct. It's just stupid quibbling over how words in English can be used to mean differe

You don't have to use your phone any way. Just don't download something if you don't want it, silly.

This dismissive, snarky one-liner only works if people already overwhelmingly agree with you. Most people are tired of companies adding more and more surveillance "features" and grew up in a time that set a higher bar for how much

Nearly every post that uses exclamation marks like this is off-putting. Fake enthusiasm is creepy. There is no way you are enthusiastic about people having no inner voice.

You came up with an extreme example that virtually never happens as a counterpoint to something that is ubiquitous in modern life. This behavior is why people don't like this forum.

>To add insult to injury, means testing[2] often costs more than the cost of fraud in social benefit programs! Not to mention, the biggest fraudsters with Medicaid are providers not recipients. Intuitively, I'd expect fraud to go up

It's overvalued but still useful for the average person to have an easy way to think about if they're about to run 1000 operations or 1000^3 operations on something.

There's also the issue when private companies just do what the government expects of them, or even pressures them to do. There was a brief controversy (canonized by CBS news) when the current administration ordered social media sites l

I'm glad this covers the "canonization cycle" that's popular among news sites right now. The path to getting something declared as truth on wikipedia is to convince an unqualified journalist to uncritically repeat your c

I'm not working with a company that can just write in the ToS "we can do anything we want. lol. lmao" and expect me to follow it religiously. Corporations need less control over speech, not more.

It depends on the subject. They'll argue until the end of time if you disagree with one of their manually preprogrammed opinions, but otherwise you can convince them the world is made of pudding.

Do you use twitter? The rhetoric in this post has the exact cadence of someone who spends a lot of time on social media.

How would I feel if I didn't eat breakfast this morning? I don't follow you. I did eat breakfast.

I'm always going to be against piling on significantly more invasive tools to make the state's job easier. I wonder if there's a word for this process where organizations make something intentionally difficult for us and then

Why would you not enforce a particular belief about how a language should be designed? There are languages designed around being able to do anything you want at any time regardless of if it makes sense, and then you end up with everyone usi

I'd go the other way here. A complete refund of everything you've spent on their store after it shuts down, or some other way to continue playing those games.

What would this large network of criminals do? Perhaps they should be in isolation if they're that negative an influence.

You have having a wonderful time not understanding what is being said. It seems deliberate at this point.

"Impulses" here means the mind. Medication with side effects also effect the body. You're giving three options of altering the mind, body, or environment. On principle I'm against altering the mind and body of millions o

Who knows, although the main idea is that there are now cameras on the busses recording 24/7 looking for violations and emailing them to the local police department.

I'm going to be skeptical of putting millions of on a new drug, permanently, to mask some underlying issue in society. Is there any evidence that people can be weaned off this after losing weight? Or is it expected to be permanent? Thi

Obviously it's easier than dealing with external interruptions. I don't suppose you do your hippie calming exercises while bob from accounting tries to get information from you for the 5th time this hour.

And healthcare insurance if you live in the US, and regardless of where you live it clogs up your entire healthcare system as Jimmy-no-seatbelt flies into the trauma center.

Practically any language will do for running a set of tasks to compile a program. Unless you already love this "wheel" intimately, just learn a real language and use that.

I see. I'm probably wrong then. In my country only the rich or elite have the opportunity to live abroad.

That you've "lived in sweden" implies you have the luxury of hopping to whatever country suits you most. Nobody wants to hear a cosmopolitan's take on how we have too much privacy and how the government should be more in
