Surprised few people picked up on this... this site is 100% Bullshit. The "ratings" are purely driven by which server is offering the author a commission per sign up.

How do I know this? I do the same thing with my sites.
History shows other jobs are always created as we create better tools. If you think ecommerce or any other new trend is going to be different, the onus is on you to provide evidence.
So what motivates me to make comments whenever I see a post like this on reddit/hackernews/etc? Because the narrative is so one sided that it forces me to react.
There's no doubt Erdogan is getting more authoritarian since his first administration in 2002. There's nothing wrong with pointing out the missteps and bad things a government does. BUT that's not what I see when Erdogan is covered for the past several years. Its automatically the same few lines: He's a dictator, turning secular turkey into Islamic State, no more freedom left in Turkey, etc. These same lines were being used for YEARS. And the worst part is much of it comes from fellow Turks who happen to be politically opposed to Erdogan.
It would be like the dumbest Democrats in America spamming European comment sections 24/7 with stuff like 'Trump is a dictator, American freedom is over' Except in that case, moderation would eventually prevail because America is a big country covered by European press. Turkey gets little coverage in America so American readers understandably just assume whatever is being said by Turks in the comments is the truth rather than political hysteria.
>Erdogan is a vile dictator who is imprisoning anybody who suggests he's not great, and who single handedly ended any meaningful notion of democracy in Turkey.
Erdogan has a stronger democratic mandate than any other leader in Turkey's Republic era history. He won an overall majority of parliamentary seats in 2002 despite being imprisoned in 1999. I bring that up to show that in 2002 he had no power to rig elections or anything. He won, and continues to win because he is genuinely popular.
>It's morally abhorrent to compare criticism of his actions to 9/11 truth bullshit.
You are correct. I would not compare criticism of Erdogan or any politician to 9/11. I compared the unsubstantiated insinuation of the July 15th coup attempt being an inside job to 9/11 truth bullshit. I believe that is a very fair and obvious comparison.
>Never mind, some quick research shows that you are a pro-fascist troll who clearly knows that you're lying all the time. However godless fascist losers like you are fine with lying. No point in pretending you're a worthwhile human being.
What a trolly line of thought. Why is someone you disagree with automatically a fascist? Why are they automatically not 'worthwhile human beings?
I tried using Linux on several occassions over the last 10-15 years. It was never easy or fun. All the GUIs felt like they were from the 90s and nothing worked out of the box. I tried Ubunutu, Mint, Arch, and a few others. My last attempt at it was ~2014. Maybe I'll hate myself enough to try Linux again in a year or two...
These people will pay a premium that warrants delivery.
No, there aren't. Real money has never been cheaper than it is now. Never in human history. USD, Euros, JPY, etc. Super cheaper. Low single digits to borrow. Anyone doing an 'ICO' is trying to cash out at your expense, big time.
If you want a manufacturing industry, workers WILL get killed on site. Workers WILL get cancer from dangerous chemicals. There's no free lunch. Everyone knows this, but somehow we care more about a high school dropout getting exposed to fumes in a factory than one that ODs on heroin because he has zero job prospects.
Either blue collar workers die at 65-70 after a lifetime of work related exposure, or they die at 30 due to drug overdose. Those are your 2 and only 2 choices.
Yea, and so are Russia and China. The problem is the US chooses to hose its taxpayers by subsidizing rural living.
Just as an example, if we had Japan/Korea's urbanization rate, that's another 30+ million Americans in cities and out of the boonies...
Is that expensive? I live in a 988 sqft, 1bedroom apt with washer/dryer with 2 roommates. We pay around that amount.
I consider myself very well off. I work 1-2 hours a day for myself online. I just chill/play games/eat out/lounge around Starbucks most of the day. I sleep ~10 hours a day.
Sounds like the people in the article are just lazy. No one has a God given right to a detached house in LA... Just move. Your $1000 social security check makes you a God in the Philippines, Thailand, Macedonia, etc.
I expect people like me who spend most of their day on the computer to have at least as much digital self discipline as I have, but perhaps that's a poor assumption to make...
