"Involuntarily Childless" is a term I'd apply to people who can't have children for medical reasons and not people who arranged their lives such that they were unlikely to have chi…

Is that ideological or biological?

I think it's because they know what to expect, so there's less fear of the unknown. They already know what to look out for, and they already know people inside. Plus, life for an e…

>Nice thing about wood power is that as long as you have a sustainable source of wood, you're 100% solar-powered and carbon neutral. That is to say, it's a source of energy that is…

It's almost as if people like to use the sins of others long dead to excuse their own shortcomings. In any event, if free will isn't a thing, there's no point in trying to make the…

AFDC and other Great Society programs are better candidates for a culprit if you're looking for a reason for increased out-of-wedlock births based on the timing. When you set up in…

>If it simply to incarcerate people for a while to make their lives difficult and make them not want to reoffend... One thing I've noticed about ex-cons I've actually come in conta…

Laziness and CYA. Nobody wants to be the guy who didn't realize there was a useful section for making weapons, poisons, weakening bars, etc in a book he green-lighted.

>Racism is the simpler and blazingly obvious explanation, backed by endless reearch and even the most casual observation. Things that are wrong can be obvious to individuals and gr…

I don't know why you would have thought that. Is it not obvious the physical aspects of what we call "race" are a collection of genetic expressions? When you say "your assumption s…

... which is why I listed genetics under "other explanations". Did you read the whole comment?

>You dismissed one assumption and named three more. Please explain which applies to Occam's razor. Because there is a direct correlation between observable characteristics like obe…

>Had to get that "oppressed conservatives" narrative in. >I keep asking what views people are so intolerant of. Tend not to get real answers. Because this is HN and people are less…

>Getting a US VISA is hard and painful when you come from a populous country like China or India Which is funny in the specific context of Chinese people, since you essentially hav…

It does in certain regions. In others, not so much.

>When US sociologists and political scientists talk about “systemic and structural racism” this is one of the manifestations. Which has always bothered me, since there are other ex…

I wonder if that's really a problem or if it's the same group people getting manipulated over and over.

I can see Google paying just about any reasonable price to avoid discovery in this one.

Cyclists are supposed to come to a full stop as well. They're easy to see stopped right at the corner.

Looks more like a dune buggy with legs than your classic Gundam, but still... pretty cool.

Exceedingly small numbers of civilians hold M-16s legally in the US. If there are M-16s going over the border the source is military or law enforcement.

>All it does is force land lords to massively increase rent amounts when someone moves out to account for multi-year market increases. Depends on the scheme in place. There are a l…

Okay, that's funny, but something like that isn't impossible. Remember the Glomar Explorer ? These black project agencies are past masters of the big con.

>How do you put a satellite in orbit without anyone knowing about it? You hide it with another satellite! Heh. There was a Russian launch recently where a piece of "debris" started…

I would agree, except there's no customer for FH. Even if there's some small chance the 2nd stage will fail, a test of the three core first stage makes sense. Having said that, I w…
