I hear and share your skepticism, but I'm also skeptical of pushbacks to the ever-growing research and literature on the uniqueness and, well, "personhood" of animals. The more we …

For me, at least, It's just nice to see a perfectly useful, quirky "thing" on the internet that isn't monetized or having some ulterior motives. Hearkens back to that feeling of al…

I think I intuitively agree with you, but I don't think it's as simple as "just do X and don't do Y". It's akin to saying "Just choose to read a book. Drop heroin". We'd like to th…

I know you wrote you prefer physical books to digital devices but....I recently got a Kobo ([Libra 2]( https://us.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-libra-2 )) and just by virtue of creat…

As someone who just had a kid, I can definitely say the healthcare system and daycare are HUGE expenses that would make it financially tough to have another one. We've paid ~$10k i…

Maybe because of the "no trademark" addendum?

Not only is it not secure, it's not a constant for everyone. I moved countries and I am now locked out of my bank account abroad since they verify logins via OTP over SMS.

> This is peak absurdism. Why not simply donate the money? How is this better than a Kickstarter? This reminds me of the Ice Bucket Challenge for ALS. Does pouring a bucket of ice …

As someone who isn't THIS paranoid, but definitely closer to it than most, I can add a criteria for a reason one would be this paranoid. If you've worked in/with some of the agenci…
