How do you imagine they get there in the first place?

Quite a lot of folks who got into tech for the tech are also miserable, because, as the byline rather aptly puts it, a lot of it is pointless. It does not serve a public good, or e…

I quite regularly read weird characterizations of the USSR, but 'feudal dictatorship'?

Luckily, desk workers can never get tired or experience physical or psychological stress, or be subjected to unreasonable demands from leadership; these are just laws of nature.

So paid overtime, vacation, parental and sick leave, and 40 hour work weeks are, in fact, shameless excesses that have made office work worse?

I can't recall when the strongarmed union-busting happened at Basecamp, but it was a few years ago. Funnily enough, he kept patronizing Citations Needed well after. E: 2021, appare…

'high-trust society' is quite often the same, as a sibling demonstrates. These two terms pretty much never appear simultaneously in an argument except as a dogwhistle.

I'm significantly more tired of the reactionary whinge machine re: 'progressive storytelling', to be perfectly honest.

They don't have bylines, though, so individual authors could be of different nationalities.

It's not a fact-free handwaving; every last one of those comments is just steelmanning Israel's position without any evidential basis. And if you are so deeply concerned about char…

As opposed to treating fact-free rehashings of Israeli state propaganda as 'non-flattering statements' and decorating such treatments with thought-terminating epithets.

Someone in the Thief community was celebrating the Nightdive remaster announcement because it is apparently getting much harder with each passing year to install and run the Dark E…

More historically accurate, though, no?

Firstly, the 'Islamic' character of Malaysia and Indonesia has never really factored into Singapore's geopolitical confrontation or collaboration within SEA. Secondly, the narrativ…

>surrounded by hostile Muslim nations ( though not as bad as Israel, but still) What a bizarre non-sequitur.

I gave up a few paragraphs in, partly because of the formatting, partly because the author seemed very impressed with themselves for being the nth person to articulate this sentime…

"Disregard disregarding, acquire currency"

Incredible work and yes, it really captures a Flash vibe. My only note would be that I'm surprised that Order from Chaos isn't featured anywhere; I feel like they are kind of a Ros…

If you think your response was an attack on ideas, most definitely, in addition to correcting your juvenile conception of history.

Seems appropriate as it's about as much effort as you put into forming your worldview.

Which, in a sibling comment, you say reflects on the sect as a whole. This would be a clever use of weasel words if you were just more consistent.

Until I guess the mid-2010s there was a really pervasive stereotype of vegans as obnoxious pseudo-religious sticks-in-the-mud.

Most 'modern' Christians are barely even aware of the content of the Bible, and most adherents of all three religions are not acting on those commands anyway. >They self-governed a…
