It doesn't add up because we have a president that can't do math.

It's mind boggling that someone who doesn't understand a term and asks for clarification of it be down-voted like this.

This is super late, but if you see this - care to clarify what the bias is?

Good point, the police already have avenues to tell their side (the news) and this resource provides the rest of the story. Like all pieces of information, it's good to understand the biases at play before accepting anything as fact.

I knew vim was old, but had no idea the lineage traced back 50 years. Vim has always felt like an exoskeleton suit compared to the spaceship dashboard of full-fledged IDEs. You can also add plugins to gain most of the functionality of an ID

It is horrible, you're right. The parent comment implied it was evil to mistreat minorities - absolutely true. But in the article that was linked it mentions that they were treated better than the majority, and were now reduced to the

You're right, it is fascinating. I looked through the edit history and it seems like there's an ongoing effort to remove the references to his other beliefs. Among the referenced articles which have been scrubbed from his wiki: h

I just don't want to live in a divisive and post-fact world. It is both sad and scary that this is "fascinating" and "clearly an agenda".

Thanks for providing more references. Maybe I'm dense, but where exactly is the bullying by the Chinese side? It seems to have gone from a claim that 7-8 Filipino fishermen besieged them, to them saying it was an accident and apologizi

I don't think there's any mystery here, I also started seeing pro-Trump posts but that's because I'd watched other posts. If you start swiping immediately on those videos, they stop showing up. The algorithm doesn't
