And the most painful irony is this is getting down-voted by people who are likely convinced they're on the side of "helping the environment"...

The saddest double-standard of all that’s driven by pure stupidity is the phenomenon of “environmental activists” who decry efforts to develop and deploy nuclear power. We could’ve…

“Equity” lmao

I’m bad at this, sometimes I struggle to convince myself I know how to try “hard” at something. Usually I just try to “try” at something hard enough that I get frustrated enough to…

I’m not super rich but I wouldn’t call their wealth “unearned”. Why are you privy to their money? The rich have an us vs them mentality because the media demonizes them for working…

No, it’s not. Rage removes the ability to discuss anything and fuels the “us vs them” mentality which has been proven time and time again to be unhealthy and NOT productive.

Yeah, unfortunately this is a sad truth.

Yeah, I really don’t understand why the bracket of “extreme wealth” is $250k? I’d be all for adding some bracket for earners over $1MM or over a certain amount of capital gains tax…

I think a study of emotional fragility with the context of gender would be very helpful in identifying this modern phenomenon. Complicating modern culture in this way can not be co…

How on earth did she pass their interview screen? But yeah, at Amazon I encountered people who passed their tech screen but spent days trying to figure out basic bash / zsh config …

Statistics and solid math / logic fundamentals.

Couldn’t one argue that they were duping the United States Government (a federal offense) and the universities they were attending with fraudulent visas?

Are Americans on average more successful at their first attempt of suicide? (obviously firearms play a part in this)

The number of times I've been cut-off or nearly run off the road by someone driving an Amazon delivery van is one too many for me to not question the real value I'm getting from Am…

Well, guess I need to destroy my Bose headphones now...

I wonder if binge drinking culture is a factor here?

Good thing China has increased co2 emissions from coal equivalent to the current co2 output of all of Europe. The US can do better, but China and much of the developing world isn’t…

Their one problem is people absolutely hated when Bird launched in Cambridge Ma.

CA really deserves a slow clap for this one... Can't wait to see them try to regulate their way out of this bit.
