> It's almost as though there's another force at work, silently undermining reason, relentlessly overwhelming rational discourse. Like some nefarious hidden incentive structures wh…

Every one of my ex-wives is a crazy bitch. Every judge has it out for me. It's not my fault my kids don't like me; their mom keeps poisoning them against me with lies and my visita…

What the hell are you talking about? It was multiple women, independently, over decades, that all gave similar allegations of abuse. At one point, one of the unpaid site administra…

Inverted by whose standards? You could just as convincingly argue that capitalist enterprises are the ones with inverted incentives: to extract as much value from workers as possib…

Depends on your definitions, right? What you describe sounds an awful lot like the Democratic party, but they're liberals, not leftists. I'd argue they're center-right. From what I…

The left (both modern and not) is much less self-defense averse than you think. There's plenty of leftist gun clubs; the Socialist Rifle Association and Redneck Revolt, formerly Jo…

In 1989, those under 40 had 13.1% of total household wealth. In Q1 2021 that number was 6.0%. It seems 2009-2011 saw the lowest levels where it didn't crack 5% https://www.federalr…

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire happened on March 25, 1911. The owner kept the factory doors locked and as a result 146 people either died in the fire or jumped to their death…

Does your hot take genocide-based solution include "tactical nuking" of Pakistan as well? Because the Afghan Taliban gets plenty of support from them as well.

Really nice explanations and visualizations. The discussion about ship stability and the moment arm between center of gravity and center of buoyancy gave me flashbacks of my underg…

Appendix B (pg 76) contains the extremely dystopianly named Prolific Offender Calculation, which I think is the criteria applied to the letter recipients in this article

I'd argue that by their own criteria, every member of the Pasco Sheriffs Office should be on this list, given that rates of domestic violence are 2-4x higher in police household th…

You're correct, "particular" and "specific" are synonyms, and I concede that I might have been unclear. I'll try again. What bothers me, and I imagine the original commentator, is …

GP isn't talking about any particular consequence of phone calls. It's talking about the specific consequence that, because American cops have a tendency to murder people instead o…

I've held clearances before and that was very much not the attitude of the security folks I met. But they were big fans of reminding you what happens if they catch you doing an una…

"An occupied building partially collapsed, killing multiple residents. But on the other hand, the report about its systemic structural issues was long and kind of a boring read" Ar…

I would like to know this as well. I'm not a Civ E, but I have worked in aerospace and software and seen reports in both fields that contain warnings of potentially catastrophic pr…

They call out that it is an extremely expensive systemic issue that will need to be repaired (bullet point "b" on page 7), and the first paragraph on page 1 indicates they attached…

Boeing was my first job out of college (BS in Aero Eng but I was hired as a software dev). I worked there for a few years in both commercial aviation and defense projects. I've sin…

What proof is there that means-testing this to weed out "unworthy" renters will save more money than it costs?

It's to throw red meat to DeSantis's base while making sure to avoid pissing off one of the state's largest employers

Today I'm proud to announce my candidacy for Dog Catcher of Sarasota, FL, and that I am suing this website for its communist deplatforming of my many troll accounts.
