Straw-man. I never said TD was moral--just consistent with their ruleset.
Like an anonymous imageboard with upvotes?
This opinion bothers me. TD was always an explicitly pro-Trump subreddit. You expect anti-Trump content to be modded or removed. The modus operandi of /r/politics is much more nefarious. It is branded as a general…
American Patriots were only 40-45% of the population in the 13 colonies [0]. [0]https://books.google.com/books?id=xK1NuzpAcH8C&pg=PA235#v=on...

This can be misleading because it doesn't account for wealth concentration. When you realize HOW MUCH of the wealth the 1% control, 37% seems small.
Wouldn't this be the type of environment where crypto would thrive?
>To stay under +2°C in 2100 we need to reduce our CO² emission to ~2T/year of CO² per human. We are at 15T/year in the US and ~10T/year at the OECD. We are currently aiming at +4°C or more. Source on this? (Especially…
Interesting perspective. This could relate to other nuances on centralization of navigation services. If Google Maps is the sole provider , this means they have authority on what streets are most viable, which shops get…
I tried to kick Waze via Apple Maps but their routes are significantly worse. Sometimes the routes that Apple would give me were 10-20% longer than Waze's projection. Waze is the best, followed closely by Google Maps,…
There is still some risk. I think you're forgetting that (1) illegal drugs are hard to obtainn--no walking into CVS--and (2) illegal drugs are not reliably sourced--I trust mass manufactured marijuana far more than I do…
Despite his praise of Xi (IMO it's just part of Trump's "style" of negotiating), he's willingly initiated a trade war. I think that's a good indicator that he's willing to at least threaten decoupling. Trump has taken…
Much news relies on anecdotes. Some of which are anonymous (aka unsubstantiated) while still involving issues higher stakes. Media is about clicks and influence.
Just because YOU haven't felt harmed or threatened doesn't mean that others feel that way. I generally agree with you but with some caveats. For example, users should have the ability to opt-in/out of data collection.…
I've wanted to visit Montreal my whole life but this comparison makes me want to avoid it!
It's shocking to westerners but this is the nature of indoctrination. Also, note how OP compared tianxia to manifest destiny instead of lebensraum.
Yes, a psychoactive drug with a longstanding and controversial social history having substantial legal differences state-to-state is VERY significant and representative of what statehood represents in the US. Are you…
It's an interesting conundrum. Many values held by the US founding fathers were flawed (IMO due to the period's sentiment). But how would they feel about a globalized economy that is manipulated by a tyrannical force to…
I agree with you 100%. I would bet that Blizzard's radio silence had been planned from the start. People will forget but the more they apologize the more they dig themselves into a hole that's tough to get out of.…
For what it's worth, there seems to be a lot of viral marketing around this product. According to this reddit thread I'm not the only one who feels this way.…
You can attack the messenger all you want. That sword cuts both ways--we can disregard your opinion because Google writes your paycheck, right?
> Politicians start with their conclusions, find alternative theories and then seek to discredit them. Seems like politicians start with the conclusions and find ways to pay off ethically reprehensible scientists to…
I dualed in math/physics undergrad, and I appreciate the banter. Relevant XKCD: https://www.xkcd.com/435/ Joke: How can you tell if someone is a physics major? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
But life becomes much easier when someone/something else decides what you should think!
Google has been shown to interfere with results that don't align with the company's political values. It's harder to believe that this suspension WASN'T politically motivated.
