Judges and juries are expressions of society and accountable to it. They're not a black box. Late-stage capitalist tech products left unchecked exploit human problems for profit. If you cannot see the difference and the flaw in your ar

No, your reasoning is flawed: a judge or a jury is voted, appointed or selected through a process which is the result of centuries civilization, norms and legislation. As corrupt it might be in some cases, it is expression of mankind. They

It is definitely also about public opinion and it is going to be translated into laws soon enough (i.e. governments mandate data sovereignty). Recent erratic policies are having a profound effect on perception of US companies. It has been b

Right, down with the Romans, really bad civilization, let's all make fun of them. I am glad they're all dead or turned into stone (I think?), am I right? Too bad the comment wasn't: O no, Ludovicus! Captus es! Dixi tibi vesti

Maybe if you do notice a significant difference in your life with or without alcohol then it is a sign of a somewhat problematic relationship with it. I drink sometimes, most times I don't. The rare times I am asked why I don't dr

I am kind of appalled that the article and a lot of people in the comments seem to take the Bidet as an _alternative_ to toilet paper. That is absolutely not the case in countries like Italy and Portugal. You simply use _both_. Washing your
