    DDG gives me: forbes.com healthline.com medicalnewstoday.com fortune.com But I usually use site:reddit.com in my searches anyway so it doesn't matter to my personal habits.

    I understand this argument for something like an small indie studio or some YouTube channel, but I'm less likely to accept that as an excuse for a company that can easily afford to…

    I was looking around a while last year and those two are the exact ones I landed on, with a slight lean towards Pop!_OS due to the team behind it striving for maximum "out-of-the-b…

    If you're making enough to sustain a $2M net worth, either you are skilled enough to be able to find another job quickly (highly experienced individuals are always in demand) and y…

    Care to share which plugins you use? I'm interested in GMing some lesser known RPGs.

    Then you are living above your means. Having $2M in assets puts you in the top 5% in the USA, let alone with world. If you can't figure out a way to pay for food with this much mon…

    I wasn't speaking to exceptions. There will always be those who require ridiculous amounts of money to live comfortably—this is not the norm.

    If you're scared about your financial situation with over a $2M net worth either you are prone to paranoia or you're living well above your means. I'm constantly surprised how many…

    All of those were made to solve problems with their predecessors and I believe that almost every one of them (Angular is debatable) has been a success in moving the needle.

    To clarify my position, I do believe in free will; specifically a compatibilistic view of free will. If you read my other replies, you can see that I do advocate for a criminal jus…

    I didn't realize I would need to define the meaning of punitive justice to this crowd, but it's the idea that "the punishment must fit the crime". The idea behind it is to hurt the…

    As I mentioned in another reply, I agree with that wholeheartedly. That factor of punishment is called deterrence. I am in favor of punishment for deterrence, denunciation and inca…

    I am a firm believer in deterrence, which you seem to be describing. It's a seperate thing from punitive justice which has a focus on retribution. The method is similar but the aim…
