Deplatforming works. A few people follow to other sites, but most don't. It also becomes harder to attract new cultists if one is shut out of major services. https://gnet-research.org/2020/05/11/weighing-

The ANTIFA CEO is sitting in his fortified command center underneath the Appalachian Mountains as we speak, cackling and torturing a Trump supporter to death for not calling xir by the proper pronouns. Our joke of a liberal government is do

Luckily the difference in response is absolutely not emblematic of any serious structural issues in American policing, and we can all move on from this with no real reforms.

You don't think that the US government should be able to defend itself? That's an interesting opinion.

Yeah I live a few blocks away from where where ANTIFA was supposedly terrorizing and burning. The only danger to the public was the tear gas the police indiscriminately used and drifted into apartments and retirement homes. You are full of

I thought right-wingers respected private property rights? Surely you don't hold contradictory and illogical opinions, because the right also prides itself on "facts" and "logic?" Is this not true?

The facts of the war in Iraq were objectively bad. Should the media have hidden this to avoid accusations of bias? The problem is that the same critical coverage did not continue for Obama. Keep in mind too that all major outlets cheered th

The incentives are all wrong. Tests are money spinners, so hospitals and clinics push them hard. Over-testing is usually associated with worse health outcomes. For example, nearly anyone who gets a full body scan has a few suspicious lookin

It's so heartbreaking to see people who are very sick or even dying have to stress about bills. It's just not something a moral society does. It's not just mental, cortisol really knocks down your immune system.

To me it's an argument that there isn't enough democracy. Brexit would never had happened if the British political class (including Labour and libdems) were not totally hostile to the interests of the British working class over a

I'll just drop in here to say that as a massive cycling enthusiast and former racer, BUY A BROOKS SADDLE! They are the best bike saddle I've ever ridden. I don't get sore or chafe even on 5+ hour rids Sure, they weigh 2 lbs i

It's neat that you are in such a position, but many aren't.

Why does that bother you so much? Language changes to fit needs. Always has, always will.

It's probably just that they wrote this for fun because I can't imagine anyone would fund it. Economists use a surprising amount of dry humor like that, I've noticed. An old one: Remember the unfortunate econometrician, w

Birth rates go down when people are in a secure situation. The solution isn't to make having children hard through impoverishment. That increases birth rates further. Besides, in the case of this Somalian man, in subsistence-oriented s

Yes, that is a moral problem that our society has.

If we reduced having children to pure economic calculation, humanity would go extinct.

Sorry, but that's not a reliable source.

How do you know it does? The pro-surveillence side needs to put forth positive evidence. The precautionary principle is the only just, non-authoritarian option for situations like this. I know the targets are mostly in neighborhoods that yo

Perhaps you need to change your news sources, because you have a very warped idea of how violent inner cities are. It's not the 1970's.

To add to other user's comments, linear types are useful for reasoning exactly about (some) imperative constructs, which is really, really hard to do with standard type systems. That's why reliably guaranteeing e.g. why it's

Most people who become seriously ill from vaccines have previously existing conditions as well. That's totally irrelevant here.

I was seeing a specialist once who was being shadowed by two med students on rotation, and the doctor started talking about chemtrails. The look on the med students' faces when he started going into that... Med school requires good ana

To be fair, in the specific case of tomatoes, the more it's cooked/reduced, the more bioavailable many of its nutrients are. Tomato paste is just tomatoes. Usually these kinds of pizzas have tons of sugar in the sauce, though.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but there's plenty of evidence that they depend on these consumers, and they are certainly aware of them because alcohol companies have been known to engage in marketing activities. This is a broad over

Anglo law not historically having a concept of personal property... That's a new one for me. The US only protects property rights of some. Read up on asset forfeitures in the US. Police can seize cash on you with only "reasonable
