  My Verbatim brand one has been working great for… well, at least a decade at this point. Plug and play. It does need two USB ports, though.

  In this case, it really is just because Americans are prudes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is China helping out Nepal? When they pretty much made Nepal and the Dali Lama a sworn enemy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They want to annex Nepal. So they decry things that make Nepal more independent. But giving aid makes Nepal more dependant on China, not less.

  Do you think that actors who play doctors on TV would make good surgeons?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't smaller countries get together with other smaller countries and form a "bloc" that could go in the game of the big "Superpowers"? Instead of the US, RUS, and China all the time?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They do, when they can get along long enough.

  I like Wiggler because he gets so heated and makes silky faces. Best Heavy driver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the USA have gifted schools or was Spider-Man Homecoming lying?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The rich kids need the smart kids there to tutor them. It’s self-serving to make sure you get them in there together.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is a web browser using another scripting language feasible?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  yes, but there’s no demand for it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would a disk shaped planet have uniform gravity like earth or would it vary depending on whether you're near the center or edges?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is to say, the flat planet will feel like a bowl, because the further out you are the more steeply sloped it is relative to the pull of gravity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whats the point of the 2nd amendment⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The country was founded on armed rebellion, and the framers recognized it might be necessary again in the future, so they enshrined the right to an armed populace almost immediately.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is there any language that doesn't have four basic directions?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  From the Greek for above and below, and also not in the general use. But I really appreciate seeing them in this discussion.

  English and Spanish also feature “above” and “below”, sooooo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your thoughts on anti-populism and those that say populism is fascism?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, yeah. Populism is a necessary precursor to fascism. Because remember, populism isn’t giving the public what they need, or even what they want; rather, populism is feeding and glorifying the worst impulses of the public: tribalism, vengefulness, novelty-seeking, and other destructive behaviors. It’s a distraction from deteriorating material conditions and an outlet for the stress those conditions create at the same time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do people make mods for games without access to the game's source code?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes they reverse engineer enough of the code to modify it.

  Or sometimes they leave the code alone and just modify data files.

  But often, even without tools, there’s a modding API that tells would-be modders how to interact with the game as a black box.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you vote why don't they just say something like this will raise your taxes for this and over here won't. Wouldn't it be simpler?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “Making things simpler” works against the interests of the politicians, sooooo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do the people who say "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" ever consider Heroin?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Heroin kills you, though.
