Not nanis but i have been in places where i couldnt say my opposing as persons talked about gun control. Biggest example in past year is corona though, anybody who disagree with lockdown etc. is anti-mask trump loving redneck in some place, one of which I worked.
da_big_ghey··on The Middle East is running out of water, and parts are becoming uninhabitable
Yes and also, this make nuclear not so responsible. In western nation nuclear are great for making electricity but cannot have so safely in unstable regime.
da_big_ghey··on OnlyFans to block sexually explicit videos starting in October
Unsure as to whether booting porn will enable any other recruitment of more other providers. OF is synonymous with young girls (over 18 but still young) selling nude picture for everybody under certain age. That is what everybody is thinking when it is mentioned. If you tell somebody under 30 you have OF subscription and bookmarked site yes, but only for watching gardening video, people will think you are joking.

In US you can go to many store and get such a card, pay with cash. Downsides are that some merchant (mostly internet ones) will check and refuse to accept such pre-paid options.
da_big_ghey··on OnlyFans to block sexually explicit videos starting in October
Yes, in Vegas many are checking ID for use of credit card exactly with this reason in mind. It is so common for pickpocket that otherwise they have too many such issues.
da_big_ghey··on OnlyFans to block sexually explicit videos starting in October
Yes but if somebody says "drop your OF" is not talking about gardening. Mostly it is known for sexual material.
da_big_ghey··on Chip shortage: Toyota to cut global production by 40%
Position in many of cases I have heard has been that electric vehicle is just as good. Are you taking a position that they are representing some quality of life decrease and that the state must force us to accept this?
da_big_ghey··on Chip shortage: Toyota to cut global production by 40%
This still is not "obstructing". Only it is trying to slow down coercive mandate alone, no obstacle to consumer buying an electric car on own initiative!
da_big_ghey··on Reading Hayek in Holland
Government overstepped to create large roads for cars, which create a problem of induced demand. Private can not use eminent domain and sieze property for roads.
da_big_ghey··on Reading Hayek in Holland
Indeed, here are reasons why Keynesianism and Neo-Keynesianism seem to dominate "political economics": it satisfys the Politician's Syllogism of "we must do something, this is something, therefore we must do this". Telling of government that interference, recapture, bad monetary policy is probably a large reason for a crash and that it must reduce interference is no good when all voters are running saying "do something".
da_big_ghey··on Chip shortage: Toyota to cut global production by 40%
Toyota is not "sabotaging clean cars", only trying to delay regulations.
da_big_ghey··on Hash collision in Apple NeuralHash model
Indeed yes, for instance statement like "President denies allegations of beating his wife" is damming all by itself.
da_big_ghey··on Slow Electricity: The Return of DC Power? (2016)
These are dishwasher about 20 years ago not modern. Modern dishwashers are so "efficient" that they are not really removing much. Often I am finding dished come back out also dirty after, so now I spend more water and time on a hand wash again.
da_big_ghey··on CA drought: Past dry periods have lasted more than 200 years, scientists say
No, you make words in my mouth. We are reasonably sure of all three first items you have listed. I only make the contention that I have not yet seen evidence of this specific event. Most information I have heard suggest largest impact some years in the future. I say nothing about "bury our heads in the sand".
da_big_ghey··on Slow Electricity: The Return of DC Power? (2016)
Motors, compressors still are more efficient on AC, for place like American South where air conditioning represent largest segment from electricity expense AC grid remains making sense.
da_big_ghey··on CA drought: Past dry periods have lasted more than 200 years, scientists say
Then I think question is how we know there is such exacerbation since we are at 3 years only.
da_big_ghey··on Moderna Is About to Begin Trials for HIV Vaccine
It is maybe that Moderna makes a partnership with larger drug companies for phase ii iii trials. Also maybe they try to conduct in subsaharan aferica where there are large spread rates among straights and disease is more endemic in populations.
da_big_ghey··on Moderna Is About to Begin Trials for HIV Vaccine
I think he was pointing that massive dollars have gone for AIDS research but it is not what should be our high priority compared to other death causes. In America and world both, AIDS is small fries for death cause.
da_big_ghey··on Moderna Is About to Begin Trials for HIV Vaccine
Vaccine for coronavirus recommended for its immune-building benefit even in persons who had infection, this is to reduce likelihood for more infection in the future. I am doubting that this applys on the HIV since nobody is getting it then beating the infection, just supressing it.
da_big_ghey··on Moderna Is About to Begin Trials for HIV Vaccine
I will tell you at right now even if it has a recommendation for all people many will not in first world. HIV still is "gay disease" to most thinking and many will not want to admit risk of getting it. This is largest problem to solve if you are wanting to remove HIV from population. I think maybe best focus are bi sexuals, they are representing "cross over point" from gay population into straights where it maybe can spread more in future.
da_big_ghey··on Illinois Is the First State to Have High Schools Teach News Literacy
Your assessment of "valuable ideas" being these is more bias, showing you are maybe in the NYT target demographic, so I am not surprised that you are finding coverage reasonable.

> what words should be used instead - 'marriages' would seem incorrect, not limiting it to heterosexual relationships would seem confusing.

Marriages probably the choice in other parts of the country, maybe "romantic relationships". Specify "heterosexual" is only left-wing thing, most others realize that gays are only small part and so do not bother to make mention. Saying "emotional labor often falls to the woman" would be most elegant though because it make implicit the normal man-woman scenario and avoid extra words.

> Must everything be politicized

Not in necessity but it does show significant bias on NYT. Also this is not all so much political as cultural.

> liberalism seeks change and improvement, while conservatism seeks to keep things as they are or were

You make a conflation between change and improvement, liberalism seeks the former and sometimes gets the latter. Some liberalism good and represent progress, some pointless and only change for change's sake. Example being push to use "nice words" for things every so many years. Idiot become retard become mentally handicapped become learning disabled... point here is that not every change is good change.

da_big_ghey··on Egui: An easy-to-use immediate mode GUI
Why is everyone concern with accessability on small gui tool? Someone make a cool project and always hackernews with the question on how it serve this very small demographic.
da_big_ghey··on Illinois Is the First State to Have High Schools Teach News Literacy
NYT has more than "some bias" toward liberal. It has Paul Krugman for regular opinion columnist, for starters, one article from him on today: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/12/opinion/inflation-infrast...

But these are opinion, so examine one news story from also today: https://www.nytimes.com/article/emotional-labor.html

"emotional labor" you never will hear outside of very leftwing area, same with use of term like "partner" or specification of "in heterosexual partnership". These are not noticeable for many readers from urban area but are almost jump off the page to any from, say, more rural background. Coverage clearly is more than "a little" bias.

da_big_ghey··on Illinois Is the First State to Have High Schools Teach News Literacy
These specific incident aside your overall point is good: news is not always right, one news not always agree with the other, each person must do own looking, reading, evaluation of evidence. This is what we need in "news literacy" not a course just saying "trust mainstream media".
da_big_ghey··on ZeroVer: 0-Based Versioning
I hope you are making a joke, if not, you will be overjoyed when you find a source control system and can tidy your source file.
da_big_ghey··on BioNTech alone could lift German economy by 0.5% this year
Then you make a new contention that you want more money past a "fair share" because you have the policy goal. Fairness has not its definition set by government budget needs. What mean you here with "solidarity"? What has this to do with "civility" or its lacking?
da_big_ghey··on BioNTech alone could lift German economy by 0.5% this year
Then here we have core difference: I would have no such suprise. I think there is some fundamental difference in our understandings of fairness.
da_big_ghey··on BioNTech alone could lift German economy by 0.5% this year
If I make dollars, I am trading time for money, some part from my life. I am never regain these years I spend earning. Now some other person is saying hunger from no good financial decision, means I now must give some of my dollars (years)? No, these policys are taking part of my life. I will give charity if such is my choosing but no government can take some from my life for sustaining of others.
