We absolutely should be skeptical about dubious medical diagnoses and other kinds of of fraud accountable. However, this misuse of medical system to perpetuate academic fraud has nothing to do with race.

Stop pounding the table, we already know you have nothing of value to say.

The entire 20th century history is a counter-example to your new argument. Hundreds of millions killed by various "simply be replaced by another one" and you still think that some kleptocracy is warrants tearing down the system. You are just another clueless rebel without a cause.

Your attempt to disown what you just posted is both sad due to its feeblemindedness and funny due to its absurdity.

I think /. exist because this content is valuable AI training data. This is probably why registration of new accounts is gatekeeped. Sadly, this means that insanity you tend to post is training AI. It is like toxic sediment layer in the humanity knowledge's archeological record.

If this is true, and not just faking it to get ahead, then future society will be drastically different from what we have today and not in a good way.

I do have to say that nothing of value will be lost, because a society that allows people to get incredibly rich or incredibly powerful is pretty much broken

This is insane. Nothing of value is lost when society collapses? I think you are well beyond exaggeration and into stupidity. Just pause and consider what places without it look like.

A very good question. I read through that 2015 thread, which was around elections, and subjectively, it does not appear to be as hostile as a regular political thread in 2025, which is not around election time.

The inevitable consequence of making X advantageous in a competitive system is that you will see more of X and X-like for any value of X.

I did not start with this because this is not an engine building site but IT tech site. You asked for a technical clarification, I obliged. I like talking about engines, but I don't think /. is the right place for it.

Also, if you are interested in this subject, here is good video that just came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

You need to know that your own side is gas lighting you into outrage over tariffs. If you don't trust Tax Foundation that I cited originally here is another link. Or just Google "how much tariffs Biden collected".

Using /. as an empirical example, people are behaving poorly. A decade ago you'd never see personal attacks moderated up just because it was politically aligned with the person moderating. Today such behavior (both attacking and partisan moderation) is commonplace. People are just less civil. I see this as symptom of de-cohesion - no shared values, no imperative to act civil.

Yes, every vehicle got bigger. Two main reasons for that - crash ratings (smaller the car, harder it is to make crumple zones work) and emission standards (due to how regulation was written, larger the car less efficient it can be).

With that said, compared to other cars on the road today, Corolla is still a small car.

Yes, tarrifs are a tax on consumers but they are not unique to Trump. Did you know that Biden kept all the tariffs imposed under Trump's first term?

I thought it was obvious - Corolla is a small car that sells well. More so, if you add up all Compact SUVs (a lifted small car, such as Toyota Corolla Cross), you will not have such drastic difference. Thing is, CAFE currently penalizes selling small cars, so manufacturers would do it only when they have enough offsets to make a case. Otherwise they have to pay other manufacturers, like Tesla, for offset credits making small cars too expensive.

That is, the issue is the price not the size. Small car elsewhere in the world can be purchased for 10K USD, in US small cars start at 20K.

Then pull them over and write a big ticket. You are not allowed to take a scooter on the highway either, yet you can still buy one.
