I wholly agree with you in sentiment that context matters, but how the hell is that article equivalent to the one here lol, I have to ask Your article has to do with white farmers …

By all means you're right and I would agree. It's just that, if we are going to go with the diversity thing, we should uphold it equally and fairly. There is no avoiding natural ma…

That sounds nice and all but the DMV analogy does not hold up. Think about if there were no limits by country population, India has more people and therefore the most applicants, s…

>the next Zucc That's more of an insult nowadays than a compliment, no?

You can't go wrong with any of the thicker Thinkpads like the P series(I personally use a P50 now), but that does come with lesser portability. With the thin and light models like …

Even if you're right, I don't think people want a system that benefits a group of people just because they have a bigger population than others. It's the same reason why diversity …

Well said. Another factor is that not everyone, especially women, do not want to leave themselves open to strangers to bother or even harass them. The best way to do that these day…

I think most patients are ultimately making the best choices for them in good faith and we should assume so unless provided evidence otherwise. I have a Vietnamese friend with an o…

He's probably saying if prostitution was legal and normalized in our society, there could be an outlet for men who can't get sex any other way, which could curb their tendency to g…

It's easy to become emotional and not realize that 8chan != one of it's boards. Going after 8chan for that one board, is like going after Facebook because one of it's users goes on…

No, you need to do a ML-powered "This Anecdote Doesn't Exist" instead. Could provide a lot of amusement for HN.

I like the spirit of the article, but being poor does not resolve you of personal responsibility. You do not have a pass to commit crime because you make under a certain amount a y…

You just need a normal container with vents which are fairly common and some tape that tears when the container is opened.

Maybe this is one problem that VR can solve. Virtually simulated suicides? Virtually simulated anything. You don't have to die or hurt yourself, try X in a safe simulation first to…

>UV damage is scary. Can you expand on that? Curious to know through your experience.

I'm from California ;). I'm just saying, urbanites have no one to blame but themselves for the influx of shitty, uncivilized tourists everywhere. After making fun of people for not…

You are right. People typically won't know how good they have it until they are separated from it, either temporarily or permanently.

Why buy lavender if you can just be a photographer/instagrammer and steal them? Pretty fields are what brings potential buyers to their farm in the first place, no?

Uncomfortable is an understatement. Being smart/geeky is their identity, the "self" that they see within, and it is something that separated them from the jocks. Seeing someone who…

Personally, I am with you and don't believe they are entitled anything. But essentially this basically comes down to gentrification vs preserving culture. Do we value cities as mon…

I wonder if Elon's facial hair is also a transplant.

>Instead residents write open letters about how they moved here in 1976 and under no circumstances will allow their neighborhood to be different than back then. I think this is the…

It's a meme to make fun of Americans in "flyover countries" for not having passports. People who have only lived in the place they were born are made fun of for not being traveled,…

We need to make it so cringe to behave like this that people will stop doing it naturally to distance themselves from those people . I already look down on people like this myself.…

Thats the equivalent of asking girls to dress unsexily to prevent harrassment/rape. Those farmers have a right to maintain their beautiful and appealing environments without having…
