I'd read the first 10 books when I was younger but lost momentum and stopped. I finally powered through it a few years back, and found the change of pace from Jordan to Sanderson rather jarring.

I wonder if I would have enjoyed WoT more if the whole series had been on Sanderson's pace or Jordan's. Advantage Sanderson since Jordan's writing was ponderous at best.

Banning kids from accessing social media is "handing parenting to big tech" in the same way that age restrictions on alcohol is handing parenting to bars, liquor stores, beer distributors, and everyone else who sells adult beverages.

I'd also argue the former is more harmful to minors than the latter.

I won't celebrate it, but I'll sure as shit acknowledge the fact that the world is slightly better off since he has left it.

It's as if the only value that sort of question has is to further enrage bigots like Scott Adams.

To anyone else it's nonsensical.

For a longer moment than I care to admit, I thought you were alluding to "woke" space exploration.

Have US tech companies considered following the laws in the countries in which they wish to operate?

Who needs school when we have TikTok?

Now that they've gotten rid of this woke DEI nonsense, they can spend 10x as much on some more wholesome and less-indoctrinating educational materials! /s

I don't think it's possible to make a less nuanced and less coherent argument than this. At best, you're telling on yourself.

As opposed to the open corruption on display with the President personally involving himself in making sure the deal resolves in favor of a major financial backer.

I suppose you have nothing to say about that.

MacOS has its own barriers to calling itself a professional operating system. A good part of my job is forcing it to conform to basic enterprise system management practices.

Calling them names and leveling false accusations at them is kind of the exact opposite of ignoring them in peace. Unless that's what brings you peace, in which case you're the mentally ill fuckup in that equation.

Demanding that people who are different from you to explain themselves to your satisfaction before you're willing to leave them the hell alone is peak conservative asshole.

I can manufacture outrageous events from my imagination and then extrapolate that fiction into a nation-wide systemic problem too!
