The fact that there was once an ice-age and is no longer means that the Earth's climate is always changing - even without humans. Thus, acknowledging that human contributions are amplifying these changes is very prudent and valid. In fact, to not say it is misleading.

And White people come from dozens of countries with various ethnicities as well. Yet they are lumped together into one category and very often dismissed. If you say that "white people are diverse" you'll get laughed out of the room in any HR office and we both know it.

Citation needed. That's an extraordinary claim.

The more this gets repeated, the more valuable Bitcoin becomes. This is because bitcoiners believe there are two types of people: believers, and not-yet believers. Since they trust that everyone will be a believer eventually, expressing doubt PROVES that we are still early, and therefore they should buy more - since newcomers will drive the price higher later.

When doubting something is taken as proof of it working, very interesting and irrational things start to happen.

I hear you. I've mentioned this to the team around me, and the reply I get it "I'm gonna listen to the experts on this, not you".

Mazda tells you this pricing model can save $1000 off the purchase price. They'll say something like "this subscription enables customized features so you only pay for what you need." So for example, you can either pay $1000 upfront for the feature (whether or not you use it), OR not pay the $1000 and only those who specifically want it can pay the $10 a month. If framed this way, it's not a bad idea in theory. But, of course, we know they'll likely charge the $1000 upfront AND charge the $10 a month on top of it. I'm just saying that if/when they announce a $1000 savings to the price of the vehicle, many people here who are bashing it will reconsider.

There's a huge difference between ALLOWING special characters and REQUIRING special characters. Allowing them increases the password entropy, but REQUIRING them actually decreases the password entropy because the hacking algorithm now KNOWS you MUST be using a special character somewhere in your password. That eliminates an incredible amount of potentially guesses.

Imagine if your ATM PIN code required one of the digits to be a pound (#) or star (*) in the code. How foolish would that be? And yet online passwords use this same logic. They should allow special characters, but not require them.

I'm always dumbfounded to hear the twisted rationale that warmongers like you give. So much for "give peace a chance" and "violence is never the answer" slogans the left claims to espouse when it's convenient for them. Precious lives are being lost every day and your first priority is that it "must not be stopped."

The cognitive dissonance is strong with this one.

Consider the possibility that they might have had a different business model than simply "customer buys pass, company makes money". Google is free, FM radio is free, Robinhood is free. There's a reason why these companies stay in business.

When your only neighbor is a nuclear power itching to destroy you, privacy becomes A BIT important.

Are you suggesting censorship should continue indefinitely, because his platform did it once?

Not quite. In your analogy it would be as if your grandfather promised to pay for heart medication and didn't pay. So instead us taxpayers are paying for it, and now medical companies charge even more and more, because they know the government (and it's almost unlimited bank account) will pay for it no matter what. The end result is that NO ONE IN THE FUTURE CAN AFFORD HEALTH MEDICINE. Your appeal to emotion is what causes this whole mess.

Except for one of the most primal instincts in humanity: the ability to connect with others. Never underestimate primal urges. They will win every time.

And yet, if you destroy a bald eagle egg, you'll go to jail. Clearly, the law states that fertilized things have value.

You have an embryo in your nutsack? You should get that looked at.
