Britannica costs $5 a month. Their articles are excellent. A free source written by top philosphers is Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosphy. That should be the first hit. If Wikipedi…

Understand that it isn't MY problem. I find it easy to avoid wikipedia because I know how to do things like -wikipedia. But I'm not the vulnerable population. Most people don't kno…

What does "unhealthy" in this context mean? Aristocracy is the norm for human civilization. I don't get why people are so chicken little about it. When your citizens are disgusting…

The experts aren't bing silenced, they just show up on the second page of google so get no hits. The first page will often have literally 5+ links to wikipedia, and those articles …

Haha, I was thinking the same about you. If you're a troll I give you credit: you know exactly how to impersonate the stupidity of a Wikipedia true believer. Asking for citations w…

Really. You're really going to use that logical fallacy to support the religion for which you are a true believer. The delicious irony of your hatred is that your point is so poorl…

Your comment is itself a negative, middlebrow dismissal. The OPs negativity is middlebrow precisely because it's accurate, but it's beating a dead horse. This means it gets up vote…

He didn't say cut off an IP address.

Paper doesn't harm the environment. Most lumber from NA is carbon neutral at worst, carbon capturing at best

That's like saying to get someone to stop punching you, just punch yourself. DOSing yourself to stop a DOS :/

Some people have bad ears. Others have bad speakers/headphones. You are probably both if you really believe that.

The Princess Bride is extremely popular among 20-40 year olds in the Anglosphere. Australia, Canada, USA, UK. This narrows down your search for the Dread Pirate Roberts to like 150…

Retrograde amnesia doesn't impair implicit memory. Priming effects are still shown for amnesiac people. This means that you'll be able to relearn your skills much more rapidly the …

You may be right about WISPs. I was referring to cellular networks and wired networks. I'm guessing the hurdle is still legal/political. I'm gonna look into this, thanks for the in…

It's only a separate economy to the extent that it isn't instantly being converted back into some other currency. There is a genuine bitcoin economy, and it is centered around the …
