We've progressed in technology because of war & conflict. But yes, it was incorrect to assume the CCP would play nice once they were a superpower.
He's been pretty tough on them compared to past presidents with the 25% tariff, plus he has a sanction bill coming to his desk to sign. > The Senate just passed a bill that further sanctions China by authorizing the…
Great contribution, care to present your case next time?
The inactive claim is hilarious, let's remove all the mods so you have to close the community so we can claim you are inactive... The funny thing was they removed mods because of the lack of moderation... which was…
Ah that makes sense. I have a tinge of that but it's probably memories. Eventually we will move out when family is of less focus. We're young now so it was a good idea to have family close. Eventually we're going to…
As a counter anecdote, I did the same thing and I love the experience. The difference is I bought a house nearby. It's actually been really nice, but I've always loved small towns and hated the city.
I'll second the statement: > And those kids are mostly boys whose social behavior is a little bit on the spectrum I a lot of us are on the spectrum, more-so than other humans. It's that puzzle gene in us that makes us…
Your voter registration is public record. They build this sample data by compiling huge swaths of public records and buying private data. Your political affiliation is not the worst of it, they can have the school your…
Keyword is "former". She probably left because of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regina_E._Dugan#Potential_conf... I don't think a single person that no longer works there can represent the entire process of an…
Ah you used the term "slowdown-bot" so I figured you had specific knowledge. Posting 3 comments in half a day is not really testing the limits, there is plenty of chill time.
> but you know what you meant. Yes I know what I meant because I wrote it, I'm telling you that you interpreted wrong. > I didn't take the pro gun-confiscation side in that comment. You didn't have to, you were…
You misconstrued that quote, all that sentence meant was I'm fine with defending sides that I know are unpopular and will lose me karma. Most importantly to gain karma you need to choose the "correct" side, like you do.…
My point to GP was that libertarian views are not popular, I don't really care about karma. I love discussing all topics on HN that I'm passionate and informed about, including politics. When I do see political topics…
As a libertarian with -10 karma, this comment is hilariously wrong (I had a lot more before I started speaking my mind) This site, like most, is a liberal echo chamber. Though I will say it's still a decent place to…
By The Economist, so it means nothing.
Yes, thank you for clarifying your sweeping statements so we could have a conversation :) > I do think there are at least two other possible solutions than getting rid of police unions entirely There is no other…
The police do have weapons and armor, that's not disputed nor inherently bad. Citizens can also have weapons and armor for self-defense per our Second Amendment. Police here need those tools because there are cartels…
Change your mind of what? That police aren't all evil people? I live in a small town of 6,000 people with a 1/3rd black, hispanic, and white population and everything is fine here. It's only poorly run Democratic cities…
You seem to have a distorted view of America. You should probably live here before you pass judgement. Listening to the echo chamber here and the mainstream news that comes out of America is not the full picture.
Because those are your descriptions, which not everyone agrees with, especially since you're lumping huge groups of people together. Either way, talking about a group should not get you fired, period.
The fact that you think it matters which one is the problem.
Yes I did read your next statement and many people do have that rigor, this is not something you can mindread. If you don't check the news you read then it's on you. It's certainly not so bad that we need to censor…
> People don't have as innate a desire for intellectual rigor in deconstructing untruths as you or I would like. This is an elitist point of view, and I don't think you are as good at deconstructing untruths as you'd…
I was pointing out the hypocrisy and the double standard. Twitter has been in the news cycle for censoring/manipulating tweets of Trump. On HN I see a lot of people defending this decision by noting they are a private…
So Twitter is a private company and can do whatever it wants but when it comes to FB making decisions about free speech we need to force them into submission? If you don't like it, move to another platform, isn't that…
