It's more complicated than that. Inflation is a combination of supply and demand. Too few goods for an extended period of time? Inflation. Excess money allowing people to bid up fo…

Right, they change the who from "former student" to "no one".

A huge group of Americans have less than $1000 in the bank. A student loan of $20k can still be a huge financial hardship for them.

Yes, all outlets are biased. It is literally impossible to have a neutral news source. But there's a world of difference between, say, a random article on the BBC and Alex Jones sa…

No, I'm not debating it. I'm asserting it. It is not a subject of debate. You might as well debate the existence of left handed people. So no, no debate. Your positions are factual…

Almost everyone isn't red haired, doesn't make it ok to exclude red haired people just because they represent 3% of the population.

I'm saying there are gay men in all countries, whether they are in the open or not. Their existence might be underground or behind closed doors, but they are there.

You do not see the hypocrisy in your position? Homosexuality is not unique to humans, it's common in the animal kingdom (including humans) and only unusual in some countries for cu…

I have a tern, it's amazing . I can bike at 30mph, most of my errands within a ten mile trip are doable on bike. I do grocery shopping, cargo delivery, a bunch of stuff. It doesn't…

The people who buy $100k cars will usually refresh them on the regular, passing the car down to another buyer. But also, the older Tesla's do not and cannot have the hardware for F…

Yeah? It was a toy then, and it's a toy now. Yes, it's a much better toy, but it's still a toy.

If they actually do something impossible, sure, it'll be worth some money. But even then, why would individuals ever be able to participate in that market? If it's a sure thing, co…

But why? Is it because the early adopters were paying for a product that would never work? Feels like a good opportunity for a class action...

It's shocking to me that anyone would pay for this. Tesla has been selling fsd since 2014, and nearly a decade later they aren't that much closer. Between the low reliability, low …

Full self driving - the snake oil Tesla sells to improve their bottom line.

"There's plenty of space, grow wide." "That land is in use already." "Lololol strawman! No u!" Alright, sure.

Interesting. Now I'm wondering if I can check my own genome from data from 23&me to see if I have any unusual variants.

Almost certainly undiagnosed. A similar thing happened when we stopped stigmatizing left handedness. There was a sharp increase in lefties over the next decade, then it leveled off…

Maybe it was challenging before, but honestly, getting enough iron and protein in a vegan diet today is pretty trivial. There are plant based alternatives to more or less everythin…
