"I can choose to use reddit or not, but I can't choose that reddit uses or doesn't use some other random service provider that may or may not be vulnerable." Which is similar to the same problem we all face of 'I ca

Stop allowing a flood on migrants for no reason other than a feel good policy. Social safety nets exist for the populace that contributes over time, not for new fully grown males to suddenly appear with or without families expecting benefit

Sweden is 'fine' and yet has to raise the retirement age to cover all the drain on their societal services? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.thelocal.se/20171214/what-s... Please.

My 2 largest complaints are equally valid for Uber and Lyft. 1)if a driver accepts my fare and then tries calling me to weasel my destination out of me so he can choose whether or not to actually pick me up, my choices are to cancel on him,

Or you are ascribing characteristics to your friends based on your own biases. Maybe you are banal safe and middle of the road to them.

You are not obligated to yield to traffic entering from an onramp. You are doing it right by not letting them in front of you.

Globalists are killing the world. Companies making money at the expense of citizens being able to survive are the detriment of society. Your assertion that we should just lie down and take it like sheep is bullshit. Choosing to buy local an

If everything you are eating has sugar added, the item you eat without it will taste bitter and/or bland. Or the sugar made the bland (picked early etc) tomatoes used in the sauce more palateable.

So ctrl-f and ctrl-v using the diff as needed? I wonder if the man hours wasted on hunting through someone else's code to figure out the bajillion abstracted functions are doing when you are trying to make a change outweigh the minor i

If the bug being fixed was expected behavior by all the other dependencies, you just screwed over everyone else who should have duplicated what they needed in the first place.

Increased profits come from somewhere. Nothing is ultimately good for consumers, they are just misled to believe it is. Increased jobs, in the case of walmart, come at the price of workers having to apply for foodstamps to live. Cheaper pri

Warbyparker is a ripoff just like all the other middlemen claiming to disrupt an overpriced market. Zenni optical will get you a pair of frames with lenses for under $10. Everything else is paying for personal style preference.

Throwing money into a hole is pretty much how the BMI/ASCAP music scheme works for artists who aren't part of their protection racket. Patreon is worse at this point because they have already demonstrated they will seize and/

You sound like an elitist asshole. Blue collar workers are people just like everybody else.

We used to call ourselves programmers. Then it became sexy to say developer. Now it is engineer. (Since you pointed out, it means something different to everyone, so its meaningless). The future will be a new snazzy term. Same job, differen

We've also seen the only arguments against nuclear power be based on old reactor designs and NIMBY handwaving.

I think this entire exercise is conversational bullshit because there is no metric for 'winning'. Quality of life is relative. People prefer different things, that's why those who are able, relocate to somewhere that suits th

If I'm having a work related problem, the last thing I want is to spend my personal time dealing with it. Just because bosses choose to have working lunches doesn't make it acceptable to foist it onto employees. Even if you'r

Everybody talks about the advantages of immediate cashflow, while always ignoring these outcomes. What did going public allow the company to do that it was unable to do prior to selling out? Did they just need the money to keep paying for b
