But we're in this universe. Based on the number of years it took to develop the game, it wouldn't be considered one that achieved "15 minutes of fame". 100 reviews is quite a far c…

That's sort of the point of survivorship bias. Name one unsuccessful would-be entrepreneur. It's hard because chances are, anyone that's recognizable was successful in some way. Fo…

Playing devil's advocate: you can't block on native apps, and some mobile web browsers don't have extension support. Also, please avoid ad-hominem ("hilariously limited intellect")…

The problem is that we don't (as far as I know) have the tools or knowledge on how to accurately assess the impact. So, the more conservative option of "don't mess with it" makes s…

Reciprocating tariffs has been a thing for hundreds of years before the US even existed. The justification isn't "they're doing it, so let's just copy them", it's "they're inflicti…

"Free" doesn't mean no restrictions. For example, apps/websites like Myspace and Facebook and anything that's been used to spread hate, cause bullying, or threats have always been …

I think you totally missed the argument: it's not about copying anything China does, it's about reciprocating restrictions that they place on your country. If China places a tariff…

Your comment comes off as "people who score well on tests are more often cheaters", supported by anecdotal evidence. Above all, it's hardly relevant to the overall discussion and f…

That's a government person calling for an attack on another government. This is a citizen calling for an attack on a group of individuals, government-involved or not. It's not even…

To your last point, it might be more constructive to point out the specifics of why you are against corporate political speech as opposed to a somewhat-binary left/right of the pol…

In the situation you posit, that sort of action would come from a vote, not a single person's vigilante call for action. That is the difference. While I'd argue for a normal person…

The thought, yes, but a public post as the public head of a very publicly visible company?... Go ahead and post it yourself, it seems reasonable, yes?

Are you implying that it's not a threat of any kind? Regardless of how it's enacted? I would certainly rather be threatened with a nice day. Especially in this climate, where the t…

There's a real leap in the phrasing of "die slow" as "I do not approve of your policies and hope that others are elected to improve the city". Simply passing that off as "bad wordi…

Do you eat tacos, sushi, omelettes, or fettuccine? Do you practice kanban, yoga, zen? Where do you think these words come from?

I think that's because the difference between the top of that 1% and bottom of that 1% is a magnitude of thousands. It goes from a few million to hundreds of millions, and up to ma…

I've definitely noticed this both with myself and others younger than me who either grew up with short-form entertainment or heavily adopted it later on. Anecdotally speaking, the …

Two of the moderation issues that I can think of are 1.) volume of information, and 2.) depth of knowledge. Some unpopular views are overly represented on any platform. This is the…

Here's a difference: you or I could get on a boat with little difficulty besides sea sickness and wobbly legs. On a rocket, you or I would die or suffer from other physical ailment…

It's not a matter of never try, it's more of a matter of what's even practical. Inhabiting Mars is not as simple as just landing a rocket on there with a bunch of people and materi…

The second article linked actually debunks the claim that workers have been leaving notes (but does note Shein's labor violations)

I think that was close to the original intent of "defund", as in reallocate funding for policing into different areas (and in some cases, I've heard more specifically splitting up …

There's one reason (of many) that Japanese still uses kanji: it has a lot of homophones due to the lack of different sounds in the language (relative to Mandarin, which still has a…

At the same time, I wouldn't callously discard that these women are simply making up stuff because they're "gold digging". "Innocent before proven guilty" is an important concept, …

Because your body tumbling around in your car during a crash can kill passengers, or be catapulted onto the street causing another accident/injury from someone trying to avoid it
