This is a valid criticism, but I don’t think that it’s necessarily the author’s fault.

This implies that every state constitution has provisions similar to the ones in Montana’s state constitution that were used to uphold the decision and have already given it the distinction of precedence. The ruling on its own is not legall

This isn't about the facetious point that you're trying to make. It's about whether one state's specific judicial decision at all concerns what takes place beyond its borders.

asynchronous's comment was about whether coal jobs in Montana yield any measurable risks to your children, wherever you are. Referring to Montana's judicial decisions as if they are edicts that span beyond its borders is a weak

Appealing to the decision of Montana’s Supreme Court does little to refute whether coal production in their state produces an imminent danger to your children . If you are a Montanan then excuse me.

OP’s comment is better suited to be taken in reference to the amount of domains banned rather than the “secrecy” of the list. I’m interested in how users are worse off with regards to anything by not knowing what sites are banned.

What’s happening in Baltimore shouldn’t merely be attributed to COVID-19. There’s evidence that their problems have existed way before it. From 2021 > A Baltimore high school student failed all but three classes over four years and alm

I think what happened is that during the 90s/early 00s the internet was too immature to be affected by the garbage/attention economy campaigns that took place in more refined mediums like television for example. The internet was n

Interesting piece. I don't think what we're dealing online with is anything new per se. Neil Postman expressed a take similar to yours when he said, "Information has become a form of garbage" in 1992. Things appear to be

I apologize for the long replies. I promise you it doesn’t feel like so much is being typed in the text editing box before I post. I'm not ashamed to say that my belief is that Islam is inherently great. I'm sure you have your o

Guilt isn't being ascribed to the victims or casualities. It's being ascribed to the Europeans who hold prejudices against Islam and are alive today . If you aren't one of those people, there isn't much left to critiq

We can count beans over whether it's appropriate to address how Islam entered the region in a PR piece , but I think we'd just be waxing historian in traditional HN fashion. After some thought, it's obvious that it's be

You made a really good point. I don't mean to delve into whether this burden is entirely fair for all, but rather I'm pointing out the fact that this burden can be imposed due to 1) The US being a global hegemon and 2) The exten

I suppose that the reason that it's spoken about less is because there isn't as much as an incentive to do so outside of discussions such as this, especially when compared to the Trans-Atlantic slave trade for example. The Western

As a major left-leaning outlet, you would expect the NYT to be capable of courting the ear of the greater Hip-hop community (mainstream artists, executives, critics, etc). This article merely glosses over the role that rap music plays in th

This makes a lot of sense. It’s hard enough finding communities in real life as it is and the internet is at scale where the ease of social networking doesn’t exist like it did in the past. At this point I think most people who been online

I get that, but even figuratively, it's a relatively harmless opinion that can only achieve as much by way of influence or control as readers are willing to allow the anonymous commenter to hold over them. There's more to learn if
