    Not a compelling argument. These people are putting their bodies on the line. It is a public protest. I cannot infer anything other than that they’re willing to risk everything, in…

    Loss of revenue puts people at risk of famine and indentured servitude. This isn't a cultural thing. Human evolution is ugly. Evolution's filter function is death. If you can't fee…

    It does serve a purpose. It announces to everyone in their vicinity that this fragile human is deficient and should only be interacted with via great caution. edit: I don't underst…

    This story is like a true crime story written by an unreliable narrator. “It was dark by now. I was tipsy, but not more so than a regular Saturday night.” What a strange piece of […

    These kinds of sites give me anxiety. It isn’t good to see large communities of humans burning mental calories to come to the same set of conclusions (I’m on team sandwich because …

    I’d like some data that supports the claim that the zoning was racist by design. Minneapolis is a farming transit hub that expanded organically. I don’t understand the underlying c…

    Did you try adding another wifi adapter? I’m not sure I understand your question well- seems like this is easy to resolve.

    Yeah- I agree. Reconfigure the APN on the network side and you have clearly isolated the source of given traffic. This is either a government honeypot, or it should be rebranded as…
