I've seen this more often than not. The pyramid is a pyramid for a reason, and I'm somewhat skeptical that we just have to throw out unit tests or they suck or something. You don't have to be a TDD acolyte to find unit…

Yea I think this is a more accurate view. It's definitely a more thought-provoking angle, namely that people often complain about systemic bias - ignoring that pretty much all important culture, media, arts, and…
Inconceivable that this could be abused. /s It doesn't take a genius to surmise that a future actual despot will hijack all this infrastructure that was so cleverly crafted by The Very Smart Experts on the left.

What would the average pro-lockdown person say if someone hosted a party or even got together with someone for coffee without a mask? They'd be calling for jail. I've heard this enough throughout the pandemic.
I notice a lot of run-of-the-mill liberals automatically assume their opponents who aren't manifestly crazy are "devil's advocates" or not making the argument in good faith. It seems intellectually lazy and the epitome…

Since they claim a quarter of patients are showing symptoms and one of those is depression - how do they separate the out the effect of the de facto criminalization of social activity, an innate human behavior ingrained…

The problem is that the US has a culture of freedom, and most importantly a Bill of Rights that outlaws violations of individual rights to privacy, speech, etc.
It coincides with a society that's become hyper-focused on historically small risks. Look at anxiety rates in children, etc. I guess it must have to do with the progress of humanity. Life has become so good that even…
