It's mostly a matter of statistics. Those factories don't have a higher risk of suicide than any other job, they just employ so many people that a few suicides a year is inevitable.

"Not biased" just means "biased in a way I agree with". There is no neutral POV.

And again, that’s perfectly compatible with CO2 emissions going up. Different stats, different things.

The only reason to care about renewables is if they prevent climate change. Why am I supposed to be happy solar panels exist, if CO2 emissions are increasing?

And all it took was 1,000,000 dead Ukrainians!

I'm not a tankie, but I probably am what everyone in this thread is calling a "tankie", so here's my answer:

Yes, it is extremely bad that Russia invaded Ukraine. The ideal scenario would have been Ukraine quickly repelling the invasion when it happened. But we don't live in magic fantasy world where everyone gets what they deserve. We live in the real world, where Ukraine cannot possibly defeat Russia in a war. The option which saves the most Ukrainian lives is a negotiated peace, with Russia getting much more of what they want than we would like.

All that is achieved by pouring more weapons into Ukraine is prolonging the meatgrinder for years, wiping out an entire generation of Ukrainians and risking a global nuclear war.

And the end result is it didn't happen, so how is he wrong that it won't happen? Supreme Court hasn't changed.

the 6 digit code ones really aren’t that big of a deal, you just whip out your phone and open an app

Until you're in tough times financially and your phone company cuts you off, permanently locking you out of every account with SMS 2FA! This actually happened to me, and there was nothing I could do about it, unlike phishing and shoulder surfing, which are easily within my power to prevent.

I’m not going to use digital currency or a digital ID so that I’m protected from myself.

I am so fucking tired of entering a password, then a code I got by by text, so I can set up an authentication app and register my physical auth key. Why can't I just use a different strong password for each service, same as I have for the last 30 years without getting hacked.

You should be allowed to opt out of this bullshit if your password entropy is high enough.

Really the lesson is, don't run a business that 100% depends on another company.

And yet still every year you will make, functionally, less money than the last. You will get poorer and poorer and it took you longer to get settled than the generation before you.

No I won't? I get raises above inflation, and I was married with a mortgage in my mid 20s.

Yeah this is why I disagree with the generation boundaries. I'm technically a millennial but I already owned my first home before the global financial crisis in 2008.

Why would going bald give a man gender dysphoria?
