By having homosexuality violently oppressed, ostracized and ridiculed in the past, and slowly reversing that attitude towards it? People were literally criminals for loving people of the same sex...

I suppose I was thinking the original comment referred to the concept of metaverse, not FB's product. Then my question was: do companies have to colonize something that doesn't have scarcity and fake it so that they can profit?

why does there need to be profit where there is no natural scarcity?

friend, are you seriously going back to the beginning of the thread and trying to say California is bad, then tax cuts are good? Are you stuck in a loop? do you need help? I responded to this here https://news.ycombinator.com&#x2

Current policy discussion doesn't change the result presented in the article, the only thing I've been discussing. > your punitive tax increases again, never even talked bout INCREASES, only stopping cuts. Do you know the diffe

If it makes no difference either way, then let's finally stop those tax cuts and prove that it doesn't make any difference! Love me some common ground. Just one thing tho: > Your point sounds like, no tax cuts because my slogan

Buddy, this thread is about the long running art of "vote for me, I'll cut taxes for the rich. What you say? You are not rich? No worries, the rich will make sure those cuts help you out as well" and whoever believes it. It m

we got it, you don't like SF government. You don't have to manage tax money like SF does only because you decide not to do rich tax cuts. Again, it's a false dichotomy. And the fact that SF government doesn't work doesn&

I hope nobody reading this actually falls for your weaksauce argument... You are literally using the false dichotomy logical fallacy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_dilemma again, those are not the only two options

Agreed. This comes down to lack of power to push a system onto it's potential users, mozilla didn't have a userbase large enough nor could incentivize 3rd parties to force onto their users. You could argue if the ux was good it wo

I had the same thought. Imagine listing all blockchains in tiny icons you scroll sideways. I suppose that can be done a lot better, but still, who decides which blockchains are included and which are not?

yeah, I'd say my description could be pretty similar. But when it comes down to sparse descriptions, I think memory also has a role. My memory is not fantastic, so I might have just dropped the memory of eye colors, unless that came up

I would start with the fact that not much in the world is either one thing or another, so also with aphantasia I don't think you either "have it" or you don't. One might have varying degrees of it. I feel I can almost vi

I'm not sure you got your idea of what feminism is from the correct source, because "men who provide nothing have no value" to me this seems like the patriarchy.
