    People seem to like heroin as well. What is your point?

    That's a fact. If you were born somewhere else you would be an entirely different person. You'd be speaking a different language, you'd be involved in different social arrangements…

    This is a common confusion. My argument is with profits and not with human nature because human nature is malleable. People can change their eating habits, they can change their tr…

    Exactly what a devout believer of the market ideology would say. The market is a social construction. If you can't imagine a different social arrangement then nothing will change a…

    Recruiters have no way to affect any real change. Thank them for their time and then say you're not interested.

    It's not a perfect analogy but yes, we are like bananas. We should expect all future viral outbreaks to have similar effects. The moment Omicron was detected in the UK I knew it ha…

    World is projected to have 10B people by 2050 (I think). There are plenty of people. He should be more worried about the famines in Afghanistan and Madagascar if he cares so much a…

    This can all be done with GitHub repositories and signed commits. The workflow would be every "transaction" becomes a pull request that requires approval from several owners of the…

    This isn't regular ignorance. At this point there is enough data on vaccines and death rates for any sane person to see that the vaccine is a net positive. What's going on with som…

    It's not going to end. It's going to evolve and it's going to continue killing people. We're stuck with it.

    Ya, I'm willing to bet money this is going to happen. It's pretty much guaranteed at this point since there is evidence now that Omicron picked up DNA from the common cold. [1] 1: …
