We've progressed in technology because of war & conflict. But yes, it was incorrect to assume the CCP would play nice once they were a superpower.

He's been pretty tough on them compared to past presidents with the 25% tariff, plus he has a sanction bill coming to his desk to sign. > The Senate just passed a bill that further…

Great contribution, care to present your case next time?

The inactive claim is hilarious, let's remove all the mods so you have to close the community so we can claim you are inactive... The funny thing was they removed mods because of t…

Ah that makes sense. I have a tinge of that but it's probably memories. Eventually we will move out when family is of less focus. We're young now so it was a good idea to have fami…

As a counter anecdote, I did the same thing and I love the experience. The difference is I bought a house nearby. It's actually been really nice, but I've always loved small towns …

I'll second the statement: > And those kids are mostly boys whose social behavior is a little bit on the spectrum I a lot of us are on the spectrum, more-so than other humans. It's…

Your voter registration is public record. They build this sample data by compiling huge swaths of public records and buying private data. Your political affiliation is not the wors…

Keyword is "former". She probably left because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regina_E._Dugan#Potential_conf... I don't think a single person that no longer works there can…

You misconstrued that quote, all that sentence meant was I'm fine with defending sides that I know are unpopular and will lose me karma. Most importantly to gain karma you need to …

My point to GP was that libertarian views are not popular, I don't really care about karma. I love discussing all topics on HN that I'm passionate and informed about, including pol…

As a libertarian with -10 karma, this comment is hilariously wrong (I had a lot more before I started speaking my mind) This site, like most, is a liberal echo chamber. Though I wi…

By The Economist, so it means nothing.

Yes, thank you for clarifying your sweeping statements so we could have a conversation :) > I do think there are at least two other possible solutions than getting rid of police un…

The police do have weapons and armor, that's not disputed nor inherently bad. Citizens can also have weapons and armor for self-defense per our Second Amendment. Police here need t…

Change your mind of what? That police aren't all evil people? I live in a small town of 6,000 people with a 1/3rd black, hispanic, and white population and everything is fine here.…

You seem to have a distorted view of America. You should probably live here before you pass judgement. Listening to the echo chamber here and the mainstream news that comes out of …
