>the Venn would likely be somewhat disjoint. This was my suspicion. 2 non intersecting circles.

I was going to expand on my comment about the difference between alien and non-alien being a difference only in time. It's all from the same stuff.

My comment is only half snark, because I genuinely don't know: what's the venn diagram of folks who support this, and who supported Brexit?

I tend to agree with this in general, especially lately, but I think there is an Overton window of depravity that businesses won't exceed the bounds of unless the industry norms shift it. I think the drift has a lot (or maybe everythin

I began and ended many hobbies in the novelty phase by endlessly reading about them, shopping, comparing features, etc. that I eventually became bored with them before spending a dollar. I got (almost) the whole novelty phase for free.

Makes payola seem quaint. In fact, past crimes all seem quaint these days.

>They included Morocco but not the United Kingdom Yes that confused me too. If they included Morocco, then France should border Brazil and Suriname.

Canada was my first guess, and I was able to get the rest of the Western hemisphere after that. I'm looking now for Portugal which i think should be pretty obvious, but I must be missing something. Edit. Also, I was wondering why ther

I'm also interested. I use tailscale and there is supposed to be a way to configure it to use my pihole DNS, but there is something in Android that prevents that. I think I have to set a custom DNS on the phone.

I think the 2 Trump administrations have shown that (multiple) political earthquakes are very possible.

I guess you can argue that the monopolization of a luxury good has no victims. Who feels bad for the consumers of luxury? But the monopoly itself is the harm, and especially highlighted in this example since its private monopolization of

This is all well known, but I recently visited an old coal mine in Pennsylvania, and much of the tour was talking about the labor conditions, and the generational "trap" of working there. If a worker died, the family had little t

I really don't think UBI can ever happen in the US. There is a moral imperative of "industriousness". Keynes' prediction (or maybe desire) ~100 years ago of the 15 hour workweek never panned out.

"Don't ski" is not a solution to a ski resort monopoly.

This is my reaction. Why does the machine being human-shaped make a difference?

I've been tracking every fuel purchase I've made for 12 years now across 5 or 6 different cars. Not sure what I'll ever do with that information, but I suppose it may come in handy for a political argument.

I consider libraries, public schools and maybe even public fire departments in the list of things that could never be proposed today if they didn't already exist.

Many forget that the other side of the "personal responsibility" coin is "social responsibility". Often the ones invoking the former can't even conceive of the latter.

I design and build things 100x[0] more complex than any bicycle, yet I don't know the jargon and feel like an idiot when I got into my local bike shop to ask simple questions. They are mostly nice and understanding, but the jargon and

I don't suggest they are real. Only that they are similarly as dubious as the 100% beef claim.

I recall a similar claim regarding pop music compilation CDs advertised as being performed by "The Original Cast", which was really a group by that name playing covers of popular songs. Or another being "Made in USA", wh

Ramen may still be somewhat of a novelty where I live, and I would not call it cheap. Though now that I put that into words, a decent burger anywhere is about the same price..

I know someone who spent ~ a year in rural Kyrgyzstan, and found the food to be very meat-based, with little variety. Maybe different in the cities, since they enjoyed the trips to Bishkek, and possibly Tashkent, somewhat more.
