I fucking hate this website I'm done. People here love decrying "tyranny" in America and I will either laugh or cry when they their principles come up against the slightest of inconveniences. "Oh I can't go to the c

What country do you live in? Can you criticize the leader without going to jail? Do union representatives get murdered? Are police there to help you or to extort you? I live in an actually authoritarian country. Only the most privileged peo

There is no way to have a good faith argument with someone who is advocating not saving lives because we aren’t saving other lives.

My understanding of the issue is that the biggest problems are a few well known defunct satellites in mid altitude orbit. We have no control over them so if two collide we are in big trouble. That almost happened last year. I think someone

I don't think East vs West is a fair generalization of this attitude. In Thailand someone is building an Angkor Wat replica and the Cambodian government is protesting because they see it as somehow cheapening the original. Angkor Wat h

Taking MDMA with my girlfriend was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Brought us much closer together. I can imagine it would be a wonderful addition to couple's therapy because it makes you so comfortable speaking and turns e

Me doxing myself in an anonymous forum doesn't make discussion any better if everyone else is anonymous. It just opens me up to real life attacks. Plus, honestly non-anonymous discussion of controversial subjects might actually be wors

Same things I'd normally say because I know anonymous posts on the internet are a terrible medium for rational discussion on controversial subjects. I've sworn off arguing anything with anyone on the internet. More censorship = le

Does this mean that iMessage evaluates messages as code for some reason? Why on earth would that be the case? It's a foundational security principle to not do that. And even if they did then why is that so hard to fix?

So investors buy the homes then rent them out? What’s the problem? In some asian markets investors buy homes then sit on them unused for years. That’s a problem.

What exactly does a mainframe mean today? I’ve logged onto multi user computer systems via a thin client before, but I guess the hardware I was connecting to was probably commodity so not a mainframe? Do these things run Windows/Linux

I don't know how it was in 1986, but today you have 3 "chords". One in the back is the primary chute and hopefully the only one you need. On the front you have two. One cuts the primary, whether or not you've opened it,

I had an interesting experience with this a few years ago when I went through some pretty bad depression and anxiety. My first step of getting better was rejecting the bad feelings saying to myself "These feelings don't make sense

Have you ever seen a therapist? Talk with a real person about what you're going through. You have a lot of options at your age with that much money. You don't need to feel trapped.

It seems to me that it's basically like me (a non artist) drawing something I saw and handing it to a good artist and asking them to draw that but better. They aren't drawing what I saw, but they are drawing a better representati

I meant the idea of spreading crushed olivine on particularly wavy beaches. The CO2 comes out of the ocean water. Still moving the olivine artificially, but relying on the ocean's natural mechanical energy and greater concentration of

Since reading about olivine beaches, I don’t understand why DAC makes any sense. Can anyone explain why we would want to build machines to slowly capture it from the air compared to letting natural processes capture it from the oceans?
