    Yeah that doesn't help me understand what you're trying to say. What was your theory that I confirmed?

    The opening sentence of the article gives the reason "why": "One could be forgiven for assuming the blockchain tech and crypto industry is a male-dominated field."

    I honestly can't for the life of me understand what you're trying to say here. The poster said "They're more carbon neutral than dino diesel." I was simply stating that not only wa…

    I was clarifying in case the author of the comment was unsure what "carbon neutral" means. It's not a comparative term, so it confuses the discussion to use it as such, just as unf…

    I don't think linking to a biodiesel lobbying group constitutes as evidence.

    The article we're discussing is a good source. Also, Brazil enacted a soy moratorium over ten years ago to combat deforestation. You're limiting your "surprise" to the US, but that…

    You either are or you aren't, you can't be "more" carbon neutral. And anyway, I'm not asking if it's better for the environment than fossil fuels, I'm asking if the claim that it i…

    So "too big to fail" you mean?

    Are they carbon neutral? Sure the initial carbon dumped into the atmosphere to plow the fields is a short term increase, but then you're also deforesting lands to grow them, which …

    Definition of a theory is rational explanation that is unproven.

    I'm not arguing what the global problem is. Condition of the donated clothing is not referenced anywhere in the article. I'm arguing that what the author is saying is largely false…

    No argument here. You cherry picked price data and accused me of cherry picking price data.

    "No One Wants Your Used Clothes Anymore" Notice that this is in the Opinion column. None of what's said here is even close to true. Plenty of people shop at their local Goodwill or…

    The fall was much quicker than the rise. There was little resistance. No one knows where the price will plateau. This has nothing to do with futures.

    If the lack of joy is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain it absolutely can be prescribed. Cliche nonsense or outdated Biblical advice actively hurts people in this case.

    I have to say I disagree with the son of David. If a man has a hundred children and lives many years but cannot enjoy his prosperity, a licensed therapist and possibly medication t…

    There's a lot wrong going on here. Firstly, Japanese manhole cover t-shirts already exist, I found a bunch on Amazon. Why are these different? Why does this need a kickstarter? The…

    No, why are you making claims such as Bitcoin is the new Beanie Babies when you have literally no idea how any of it works?

    But her claims about his business dealings and his sexual fetishes are both unverified claims, so it's circular reasoning to say one helps prove the other.

    What exactly are you sharing? It's not illegal to be an asshole. It's also not important to anyone that you knew him years ago and think he's an asshole, so where is the schadenfre…
