Insult me all you wish. My brain is too smooth. The smoothest there is - your words simply slide right off!

    Editors have biases. The best we can do is shine a spotlight on them. People are opposed to this, of course. No one likes to be reminded of how they're limited - and people get rea…

    There already is a separate wikipedia article about the specific program. It is an extensive article. If you look up "Stargate CIA" in any search engine you'll find it easily. Ther…

    The remote viewing article keeps being reverted as pseudoscientific when original research conducted by the CIA is cited. Such citations are removed swiftly. Any changes are denied…

    From the article you posted, blocking still stops people from communicating with you. The only difference with how it is now is they can still view your posts. I don't have a dog i…

    Many artists (and normal people) publish their works there: from anime girls to short story updates on royal road.

    I'm about to do what you just asked people not to do. Perhaps, we're so used to dishonest interlocutors online that we search for intentions in people's statements? Sorry, I had to…

    Alternatively, encourage hunting to control the population and harvest all that useful food.

    Congress should not be allowed to change any of their positions (besides mutual fund backed retirement accounts, 401ks, etc) while in office. But they'll never vote for this. I gue…

    It's wild to me that the DHS account was created in Tel Aviv. Several American nationalists are Indian. It's absolutely nuts.

    Imprisoned, beaten with foam pool noodles, and pelted with whipped cream pies. Treated like the clowns they were behaving as.

    Never thought of it that way. I like the positive framing. Oftentimes I worry about industrial pollution, unsafe and unfair working conditions, and a loss of relevance in high tech…

    Interestig, so you could say that the European and American governments share blame in this development. A shame.

    Could you elaborate why an executive having sensitive conversations with a governor is corrupt? I'm having difficulty understanding this outlook. My industry has historically been …

    Personally, I define it as corruption when quid pro quo occurs, nice gifts, expensive dinners, etc. In government work, in my field specifically, it's the inappropriate transfer of…

    That's simply not true, many HAMs in remote areas join to learn how to operate radio equipment and assist crisis responders - especially in the northern frontier states. There's a …

    Frankly, the reason China is the last man standing on solar was their aggressive subsidy in the 2010s. Killed all of the American and European manufacturers, then the subsidy ended…

    They're normal people - some of them good and some of them bad - some bright and some dim. I'm not trying to be mean when I say this: don't kid yourself into thinking you're in a c…

    Same reason communities still maintain HAM radio clubs and rely on them for emergency communications in a grid down situation - it's an interesting (though expensive) hobby that ha…

    Normally, yes. In the case where you don't expect a response, you can still rely on the rudimentary error checking of TCP (checksum and sequence numbers) to detect when damaged or …

    Some equipment is drop in - hooking up an audio output to a keyed radio is only occasionally difficult. You see a lot of these solutions in the HAM radio space. The actual radio eq…

    You really have to ask the question "does all industrial production aid itself to war?" when making this determination. Additionally, most people don't consider the Mexico factor. …

    This is a very real concern, and often understated.

    I don't understand, can you explain why high interest rates will help economic development in the USA in light of its staggering held debt? I'm not an economist, I don't understand…

    Kill them while you still can. The mosquitos in the Midwest are so ferocious their swarms can kidnap small children.

    Conversely, if you've never worked in a factory or a shipyard, I don't want to hear your opinion on excessive safety regulations. I've seen OSHA violations of such severity, of suc…
