As much as I disagree with it, graffiti is an interesting topic. A lot of graffiti proponents fully believe that they are beautifying the environment by making it human, and even continue doing it as the level of effort to bypass the conseq

The article says they're considering removing the federal requirement that state governments even tell their constituents let alone allow public review. So literally yes you can avoid the review... until you manage to convince your loc

The article is actually saying they've had record sign ups this year and as far as I can see doesn't make any comment about a decrease in sales in the last 2 weeks since the implementation of this regulation. There is a first hand

You pay taxes in the US? You are directly enabling a country to harm others. You ever buy a phone? You are directly enabling a chain of groups to harm people (in the name of creating that phone). You ever give a dollar to a homeless man? Yo

Isn't "if there are regular drone strikes, it feels like the aggressor country is past that Rubicon." kind of self-refuting? Conventional forces aren't deployed in many instances where regular drone strikes are used, thu

I mean that's definitely cherry picking portions of the wiki. Both of the articles refer to each other much more than those examples, not that that really matters. Plus the Supply Side Economics wiki article, right below the "Not

What doesn't RCV fix about FPTP? And what issues does it introduce? I've seen discussions around how it can be more confusing than the current system, and can reduce confidence in the election.

Oahu has some of the best US ramen I've ever had. Pretty much incomparable to most cities I've lived in, including places like SF and Seattle.

I thought that was more about correctly interpreting their asks, and not just actioning without consideration. If all your customers are saying your chair could use a cushion, it doesn't mean add a cushion, it means the chair is uncomf

Or we listen to the experts who are frustrated with the system? They see the effects even if they don't know the AI model causing it.

Are you agreeing with the parent and giving examples of regulations that have been debated? Or are you trying to give examples of some of the "strawmen" regulations? A lot of these examples are pretty subjective or missing context

Sure, much easier to make a decision for yourself that helps you cope with the USA lifestyle than it is to change the USA on a short time scale. There are of course other decisions that might help cope, like moving to one of the few walkabl

Although if the cup is warm to begin with, then you're using energy to warm up the cup which would eat into those energy savings. The "optimal" drinking temperature of espresso is still considered higher than 50 degrees, like

I'm aware that AMD was not involved in the VW scandal, and that that's not what TFA is about. Was that not clear? It was a pop culture example of incentives gone wrong to hopefully support why incentives aren't clear cut.

I'm not claiming to know how any major tech company runs their bug bounty program. I'm actually trying to claim that we can't know how AMD (or any of them) do, we can merely express our opinions on it. We can discuss all the

How do we know the incentive is to pay out bounties? And how do we know that doesn't change on the whims of the management chain? We don't "know" anything unless we are at that company in particular and part of the manag

Are you talking about the Lilly Insulin Value Program? If you're uninsured, you do need to get the savings card but it's mostly a matter of filling out the form. And that's only since they started the program in 2020.

Sure, but I would consider mines laid in a strait a barrier or fence, and I would consider the radiation at Chernobyl a barrier to entry, and I would consider a hedgerow a barrier or fence as well. I think it's important to specify the

Are you talking about the razor wire that the supreme court allowed the administration to remove from the Texas border? If so, a little disingenuous to say fences and barriors when talking about razor wire. If not, please cite your sources

The wand building community is also a fun dive. The reddit and discord is filled with people doing things like animating the rickroll music video to exploiting int overflows to kill all loaded enemies.

Generally in an article about arresting or sentencing a drug dealer, people don't bring up that the drug users are actually to blame. Now if we're in a discussion around the cartels, plenty of people do bring up (and there's

I mean they made claims about the efficacy and risks of the COVID vaccine without sourcing them and used verbiage like "poisoning our children" to refer to vaccinating them. I think tip of the iceberg for "problematic opinion
