If I'm stuck living with someone and they regularly punch me in the face for "preventative" reasons, I'll put rat poison in their coffee. Domestic abuser logic seems ill-advised as foreign policy. Everyone already knows

I mean guys, it's pretty obvious. Someone in Piotr's killed themselves or committed self-harm. Deleting parts of the game is a response to that. I don't think it's right, but I understand the need.

Are you baffled that people dislike companies that create killing machines? All the stuff made by Anduril will end up causing "collateral damage" in a middle eastern wedding. I understand that you have an ethical framework that ig

The catch is that the premise of the service is faulty. Their segmentation of news organizations according to bias, can be obviously be biased itself. That's not a problem necessarily, but the service promotes itself as neutral while i

The secularists don't have satisfying answers to the questions about life? What's next? Without god everyone would rape and pillage?

Well, one might quite reasonably think a Minecraft youtuber isn't the best person to teach their child about the Bible, even if someone is Christian. Even considering that, how appropriate a religious text totally depends on the parent

> The cost of renewables is not falling, if you take into account the hours those renewables are not producing power. This is false, like logic wise even if your assumptions were true. You might say that supposed cost right now is fake.

It's gonna be hilarious if: this is a data entry error (1957?), the payments are to a surviving widow because the dates just fit [0][1], simply the query was wrong, or more probably Musk just lied. [0]. https://en.wikipedia.
