Men are the ones most pressured by their careers to 'splain shit. If you can't 'splain shit, you are shit. Women aren't expected to 'splain shit.

Why should they be immune to what's happening to the rest of us?

And not how to think. You only need to do that if your ideas are not convincing and yet you have a vested interest in getting people to believe them.

And this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

the area around Chernobyl is uninhabitable. Before the accident, 120,000 people lived there. The Fukushima exclusion zone is currently a 30 km radius where all residents Were evacuated and is also a no-fly zone. The US Embassy subsequently advised Americans to keep a 80 km distance. Radiation induced cancers take decades to play out, and the claim that "no one died from Fukushima other than a few plant workers" is complete hogwash, as it's too soon to tell the longer term effects.

The claim that the Inuit have lower incidence of heart disease has not been borne out by the facts. And their incidence of stroke is high:

66% of all websites get hacked. So if you predict EVERY website will get hacked, you'll be right 66% of the time.

So did I. I gave up in Firefox once they moved away from the "less is more" school of design, several years ago. Same reason I gave up on Netscape before that-- creeping featurism. What I want in a browser is lean and mean. REALLY mean. The more complicated a browser is, the bigger the risk of security flaws.

The actual disturbing trend is for the news agencies to stop placing comment sections on their articles. They don't really care what you think. And frankly, in that case I don't care what they think either, and won't patronize such sites...

It's probably good that we are regularly reminded that the world is full of assholes, and that walled gardens are not the sum total of reality. It may be that many people are assholes simply BECAUSE they are excluded from some of these gardens-- no doubt many of those within the gardens are assholes too, just of a different type. And if you can't figure how to deal with assholes without becoming one yourself, you deserve what you get...

It doesn't much matter, Google's UI skills really suck. The only reason the original Google search was a success is because they essentially didn't even have a UI, it was just a text entry box. When they try to add UI elements, it's all downhill. Microsoft's Ui often sucks too, but at least with Microsoft, I can at least usually tell what they're trying to do. With Google, I can't even tell what they were trying to do at all, it's pure WTF?

I would agree with this, what the heck is the problem with it? Maybe you just need to bone up on your search word skills...

Stretch those femtoseconds into hours, nice...

Stop using insulation that tastes like chicken. Or the shark equivalent of chicken...

Where've you been? Obviously you didn't get the memo. FBI needs to tech-up. And what do you think the NSA is all about? Tech trumps everything, and makes every job easier and more effective. That's the pitch, anyway. You must not work in the tech industry, or at least not anywhere that makes contact with marketing at any point...

Such sites are the only places people get exposed to widely divergent views anymore. "Homogeneous" (read: "insulated") protected communities are not it. Sure, often such divergent communities meltdown into flamefests, but that doesn't mean we should all be cocooned into safe little worlds where everyone mostly agrees with us. If you can't take the heat, stay inside and remain ignorant.
