It is very odd. to the point where it looks staged (Epstein kind of staged) I wouldn't wish a job of being an officer upon anyone these days. I can only imagine what law enforcement officers' family members and loved ones are goin

Not sure why you are being downvoted. It's at very least plausible. The reasons for much lower birth rates in western (and westernized) cultures are education, security, and stability. Remove these and your primitive instincts like rep

Right, India is The Beacon of Light all western civilizations should be looking up to? No, thanks! Your opuscule of a comment doesn't make a damn sense.

You are contradicting yourself and making my point for me. janitor is an abstraction (you trust a janitor to operate with a professional tool for you) and you are completely right, git GUIs (just like a janitor) are a liability.

Endless opportunity for analogies here. The gist is that you are delegating all sensitive versioning and versioning history management operations to a 3rd party with extremely limited capabilities, 3rd party you know nothing about (effectiv

For me, as a dentist, I used to use the dental drill, but now I trust my janitor to handle it, this way I make less mistakes myself My job as a dentist isn't to use dental drill, it's to fix teeth in general. If I managed to fix a

"given the horrendous nature of typing emojis" - can easily be automated. Author could've been more courteous by leaving those out, making the contents more accessible. re: Neuralink: https://neuralink.com/app

I couldn't read it. With all emojis involved it reads like a long, obnoxious text message from an unstable gen-z. Checked the author, author's tweeter account, looks legitimate (not GPT3?). If there was a real message written as a

it is pretty much a common knowledge that we will never reach consensus with this issue. Question: assuming that prognosis is actually true (this time), what could we do to prepare for the worst? With renewable energy advancements we should

Dangerously ill-informed comment. Have you ever been to a hospital in a country that embraced socialism? In some countries you pay effectively zero for socialized healthcare. What an awesome, marketable for votes delusion. Guess what. You g

"Sorry how is that regime any different from the US?" - is that an honest question? Do you really not know how western democracy is different from dictatorial and oppressive regimes in Russia, China, or North Korea?

Your comment doesn't really object. Do you know how many average workers are getting paid right now for doing basically nothing? A high percentage of average "jobs" in US are a form of UBI. Some are doing great things, some a

It is CEO hatred culture which is being actively developed by socialists in hope to promote socialism: a very predictable desire to control the population by eliminating opportunity and thus free-thinkers and overachievers: forced equality
