A union is a collection of workers who negotiate together against their employer using the leverage of strikes and other work stoppages. They are democratically controlled with reg…

This makes zero sense to me. Even if you have managed to create an instant and frictionless mechanism of selling ETFs the moment you need to spend on something and are providing pe…

Garry is basically a fascist who thinks that democratic governance ruins society and that instead society should be run by tech elite.

Being a cop is a choice. Being black is not.

> if some overzealous psychiatrist had diagnosed me as trans This entire fear is not based in reality.

I do not agree that contribution to society is measured in dollars.

> desisted or were no longer traceable So this includes both detransitioners and people who just changed their phone number . Not exactly something where we can assume that all of …

Can you explain this reason in detail?!

The culture war started in the US when North Carolina passed a bathroom bill. Prior to this we'd had trans people participating in sports, using the bathroom of their choice, and b…

This is, frankly, ridiculous. You don't know a single trans person and are making a broad sweeping claim about trans people being unreasonable in conversation about the nature of t…

Tattoos aren't medical care that dramatically improves the lives of people.

Okay. Is there any evidence that kids who go to a gender care specialist with the idea that they don't fit into typical gender norms just get signed up for transition care right aw…

Somebody with three kids earning 26k is in extreme poverty. If them being a net receiver of government funds is considered a bad thing.... Christ.

The political compass (which is not scientific in any manner and is basically trash for understanding things) splits into two dimensions. Liberal-Authoritarian and Left-Right. "Aut…

The political compass test is not meaningful. The particular breakdown it uses is not some sort of consensus amongst political scientists nor are the questions and methods it uses …

While this isn't necessarily true at the individual level, HR as an institution is this way. The first HR departments were developed to defuse feminist agitation against sexist wor…

AI has made it 10x worse. My wife is a professor. Tons of students cheat. Often badly. It is a complete phase shift from pre-chatgpt. Detection methods keep having to adapt. Usuall…

Cows are covered in their own shit, including their udders. "I drank raw milk and didn't get sick" is not actually the same as "drinking raw milk is safe."

Even if you accept the lab leak (highly questionable) and buy into the conspiracy that Fauci was controlling the operation of GoF research that created covid this is wrong. Lockdow…
