Everybody's seen these arguments ... and knows exactly how true they are. I mean you put one absurdity after another and treat it as fact. I'm not even going to bother.

The "one and only ever democratically elected president" also had zero incentive to fix any of Egypt's financial problems and ... frankly ... was a terrorist candidate. Sorry "islamist". Which is to say, he uses vio

Those jobs are a trap. If you take them you cannot save up to move up to something better. And then you're better off on social support in the city.

That's because a house 100km away from the nearest job is not cheap. Even rural area houses are very expensive compared to what jobs in those rural areas pay. This makes them even more of a trap. The rents will go up. And yet, even mor

It was the US starting and pushing the comprehensive test ban treaty, not the UN. The UN didn't even try until the US successfully pushed it for decades. And STILL, all relevant negotiations are conducted by the US, the relevant backin

The whole reason C code is used is that it can be used for free. In other words, infinitely more than they're spending now. More than even the CCP is willing to spend to protect state secrets.

Why would consensus against renewables work? Renewables work from pretty small-scale all the way up to industrial deployments (well, not in Alaska/Siberia but in Australia ...) So consensus shouldn't matter because if Joe the hair

This is the part of the argument that baffles me. The argument goes: liberal democracies are partially captured by capitalism (corruption, actual, but frankly part of the argument is "corruption" in the sense of "we have the

I wish there was a way to make deployments make their pods restart, re-reading the container image, on command. Ideally, using an upgrade process. I get that this is bad practice for a big production site, but I'd love to have this opt

First, I just did what you asked for. You said I needed to prove Hamas does not allow freedom of the press. Well, proven, you even bloody agree. Now, of course, you change subject, and blame Israel for supposedly lacking press freedom. Whic

Why don't we let the -hopefully mostly sane- people on this forum judge your comment by it's own merits. Obviously you can buy pictures from propagandists. The tough part really is NOT getting pictures from them when you're N

As I said there are zero journalists in Gaza. This presumes independent reporting and Hamas does not allow it. Any journalist that reports something they don't like gets a beating, and if they persist, they're killed. There are on

The point is that a Gazan AP Journalist (featured on CNN) PARTICIPATED in the killing of Jews. (PLUS a bunch of Gazan journalists went with the terrorists into Israel, and observed, filmed and documented the killing of civilians, triumphant

Except normal Californian wages are 50% of a central SF apartment. Saving up to move there is very much an option. Normal LONDON salaries are 30% of a London apartment. Normal British salaries are 10% of a central London apartment, at best.

It seems like their business model is the same as the original Visual Basic: allow more people to write software, so have higher ups pay for replit instead of paying for developers.

If you think like this, then "warcrimes" are bullshit. The whole point of the UN, the Geneva convention, warcrimes legislation, ... is that it would apply 100% in situations where government collapses, in situations where there is

So? Hamas agreed to abide by international treaties signed by Palestine. AND they "demand" it is held up against Israel. Plus the basic point stands. With people who think like this, treaties aren't worth the paper they'

Whereas Palestine's signature is fake. I don't know how else to call it. I mean are we now to believe the "state of Palestine" is going to arrest and deliver Sinwar, Deif AND deliver the hostages to Israel just because t
