What about the 1-3 million people in Chinese concentration camps (excuse me, "re-education camps")?

After years of trying to confront the source of my depression, I found out that I inherited incurable bipolar disorder and the only proven effective treatment is drugs. How do you think I should confront that?

No. There are plenty of medications that have measurable effects on average. That doesn't mean it's a one-shot solution for everyone's depression. You need to find the right medication, get therapy, sleep well, and exercise i

Lamotrigine works for most bipolar people for at least a few years. It's used as a first resort since it has typically no side effects. It quit working for me after four years of use, so I switched to lithium. I don't know much a

Respectfully, I think you were playing with fire and got lucky. You have to treat bipolar disorder very differently than unipolar depression. I don't know any doctor who would recommend or even consider using LSD to treat bipolar disor

Most gendered languages have 2 or 3 grammatical genders (masculine, feminine, and sometimes neuter) with gender expressed in nouns, adjectives, pronouns, and verbs. Depending on the language it may not be practically possible to add a new g

The ISP retains records. It's not uncommon to get letters from your ISP telling you to stop torrenting that blockbuster movie you torrented last week because some law office reported your IP address at the time. So clearly someone can

It's so we can have the appearance of rights. Same reason why China has kangaroo courts.

by x220 7y ago
Police de facto have more rights because they can expect lenient punishment (or no punishment) for crimes they commit even when out of uniform. You can argue until you're blue in the face about de jure rights but those don't m

Do DIY clouds give you anonymity? I assume that if I run my traffic through a VPN server in AWS and I am the only one operating and using the server, anything I do on that VPN can be traced back to me.

China sends in soldiers as police, does false flag attacks, hires the triads, tear gasses 90% of the city, kills protesters on the streets, and arrests protesters and fakes their suicides. I'd much rather deal with US police.

After taking a look at the Hong Kong protests, I'll gladly take American colonialism over China's. And so, apparently, would the people of Hong Kong.
