What don't you like about her motivation behind it?

This is great.

Yes, exactly.

Perhaps the correlation is the other way around. Men with less testosterone (and therefore a lower sperm count) consume more products with soy, which is common in a vegan diet. Not saying this is the case, just pointing out where this could be coming from.

Bingo. Most so-called journalists should be hanged in public streets.

Europeans especially. In my experience, they are extremely ignorant in this regard to the point of child-like naivety, but let them learn the hard way. It's truly the best way to learn after all.

My ass, unironically. Thanks God for bidets

Lol @ anyone thinking this is about a virus/vaccines at all. This is the perfect excuse to control social movement, dissent and to ensure their population is so afraid and broken that they can't possibly amass a sufficiently large mass to put the CCP in danger. Essentially, the objective is to guarantee the current govt and Xi Jinping is here to stay. I'm positively suprised at the current protests. Considering what they're risking, it means that they are extremely fed up.

>disagrees with opinion

>wants it deleted

Why don't you simply downvote or say "I disagree"? Is this the common trait of the NYT reader?

It's because they do. The NYT loathes the average American. They get a hard-on when talking about 'deaths of dispair' in 'flyover countries'. Makes sense considering who owns it.

Wtf? Why would "co-housing" be deemed socialist? Is sharing an appartment with roommates deemed socialist in the US? Is couchsurfing?

It's absolutely how it works. The fact that you live in an authoritarian country that requires a threshold of $600 to report payments is unnatural. It's like saying that the CCP has its own opinion on whether you should be able to go out of your house at any given time, or if you should be locked in for X more weeks due to "covid" or any other bullshit excuse. Or, that Canada govt has its own opinion on whether your bank account should be freezed based on what protests you attend to, and so on.

Here's the thing: abstractions (or "man-made horrors horrors beyond your comprehension") are feeble. With a big enough catastrophe, natural or not, the IRS along with any US intitution will cease to exist.

>Uncle Sam will demand his cut eventually once you use that wealth for anything material in the real world.

I don't know. It really comes down to what Alice and Bob agree to in the exchange, that's the beauty of it. Purchasing property using property is kind of pushing it

I don't condone it, but you could technically kill a person and as long as you don't get caught, you're free to do it.

Kind of a "Don't quote laws to men with swords" situation

Sounds like you have no idea of what you're talking about.

Crypto for cash, peer-to-peer, without an exchange. I personally know lots of people doing it, every single day. No way to map one BTC wallet to an individual. Those unpaid taxes do not exist.

It's true. It's also helpful when you live in an authoritarian/corrupt country. Same as cash.

The day cash is banned, it's completely over.

You're right, but that's the cost of decentralization. No way around it.

Crypto is doing perfectly fine :)

For anyone wondering, the purpose of crypto is not to be a store of value, but to be a currency. If you don't want to speculate on its price you buy BTC that day, you transfer that BTC to purchase whatever good you want. The seller can do the same, converting his BTC to something else or for cash as soon as he makes a sale.

To clarify:

1) It is a lot better if Bitcoin is used by a relative minority of people and flies under the radar. In places where it's really needed it's penetration will be a lot higher. We see that in Venezuela and in many places in Latin America with high inflation.

2) Centralized exchanges using a centralized digital coin with no backing != crypto

3) Most crypto != crypto. Bitcoin surely is.

4) Speculating on its price is an unintended side-effect.

5) The purpose of crypto is to remove the middleman.

6) The SBF saga has nothing to do with crypto.

I hope that explains some of it.

> if you are to keep any pretense of basic decency.

Very condescending for someone who is deeply mistaken. I think it also breaks rules from the guidelines (since this site is so keen to enforce them).

To elaborate: we all, every day, use things that have a back story. I'm sure we consume things from China that were built under terrible conditions (the most famous one being the iPhone). We probably take things for granted, or ar ignorant about how something came to be. That's why, you have to draw a line, otherwise it's endless. If it's the OPs choice, fine, but not under pressure.

It's more like "a group of people who absolutely hate to be told what to do by people they completely disagree with/have nothing in common with*". It's not a pyschological disorder, as it has to do with survival. Lack of defiance is probably a psychological disorder. Historically, those tensions were resolved with wars/civil wars/insurgents/civil unrest.

No, it's definitely the other way around. Some people enjoy the power trip of censoring someone they disagree with.

The perfect system of rules for moderation would be one you'd comfortably handle out to your ideological adversaries to enforce. If the outcome is still unfair, there's something wrong with the rules.

Something like "I cut, you choose".

Yea no... no thanks. I'll keep watching the World Cup.

Lol fuck no, HN wears me down. 4chan is like having a beer with buddies shooting the shit and throwing some banter.

HN is like a forced "after office" with snob coworkers you don't get along with, and you have to tiptoe around the topics and what you say, while HR is around. It has interesting moments, though.

Trust me, once you get the hang of it, 4chan is surprisingly wholesome. Sure I've been called a niggr/faggt/subhuman/kike/retard, I've been asked to kill myself countless times, countless people told me they had fucked my mom, etc. But when you go above that, you see that it's refreshing and lot less toxic than passive-aggresiveness and the brigading that upvotes/downvotes/retweets bring (in places such as Twitter or Reddit, or even here). There's some sort of camaraderie that goes beyond.

And the nice thing is that there's no oversight board, there's just your comment, you can always reply if you don't agree. The only measure of success is the number of replies, and funny, insightful or contrarian posts usually get those. Plus, everyone is completely anonymous so you can really be anyone.

No, there should be no like nor dislike button. Just number of replies.

4chan does this and it works surprisingly well.

They may be fired, but they still can post on Twitter. Big distinction.

You can't critize/one up your boss in public for internet/virtue signalling points and expect to keep your job. Try that in any _job_ and see what happens. The real danger is Twitter acting as the arbiter of truth, which was the case for the last few years.

Yeah extradition treaties and bowing down to the US or the Interpol are how the One World Government begins. Mix that with cheap massive surveillance tech imported from China and every country going cashless and we're in FOR A RIDE.

MariaDB/MySQL + PHP + HTML/CSS and some vainilla JavaScript if necessary. What else is needed? I deploy in production using FTP. My version control is ZIP files in some old hard drive. Of course, this won't work if you're working in a team or are developing a huge web app, but for 99% of use cases, this just works.

The only thing I focus on is valid markup, accessibility, performance, good error handling, and getting a 100% in Lighthouse. At least I'm doing better than my bank's "modern" home banking app in Angular that breaks half of the time and can't even handle multiple tabs :)

Very interesting. I agree, it's a really good depiction of what societal collapse would look no matter what "triggers" it. Like said in other comments, there's a Half-Life 2 look & feel to the movie as well.

Exactly, that's the beauty of it. You get to choose them.
