Weird to compare a brutal dictatorship which violates human rights on the regular vs a democracy which violates human rights a little less.

$6 now. What about 15 years ago? Rent in the city is $181/mo? That would be for a 1 bedroom outside the city.
- Comment on Public transit in Chengdu, China versus Toronto, Canada 1 week ago:
I think the average construction worker in Chengdu made around $3 to $4 per hour building this. Not sure of the safety conditions.

“Woke” is a term bigots and racists took over to use to hate on “tolerance” without saying they hate “tolerance”. Take it back.

That’s the question. Where is the line between racism and artifact protection?

“the same number of violent deaths as on any random weekend in the United States.”
Use critical thinking here. Even if this is the number, it is equating the violent deaths at a single location to the total number of violent deaths in the entire United States over a weekend. This one little tidbit lets you know of the angle of the article and the misinformation it tries to hide in plain sight.

Wife’s streak is at 1,618 days across multiple categories. Almost 4.5 years. I imagine it’s like smoking at this point.

Wouldn’t the box forever be outside the black hole… as in just on the surface as it would need to exceed the speed of light in order to actually enter the event horizon?..or is that our of date knowledge?

I’ve always heard this but when I go to chop at a guy I swear it’s ALWAYS the blunt side of the sword first. I flip it around and try again only to have to flip it around a third time to finally get the sharp side.

He wasn’t really that much small, just sort of biggie small so that he would sell just a little bit more.
- Comment on Sun God 4 months ago:
Mercury’s apparent size in the sky when close to us is about twice the size as when mercury is in the other side of the sun from us. So mercury would appear about 75% the size it is in this photo of it were next to the sun (so about the same distance away as the sun is).

How many civilian contractors were hired by CERN and others and how many bidders did they take before deciding which to take. Did scientists volunteer or were they paid by grants. Where did the government funding come from? Taxes from citizen’s income. How much of the technology used in these projects was built on tech invented by public/private companies?
- Comment on Anon hates smartphones 7 months ago:
Everything that happened before capitalism happened at an extremely slow pace. We might have smart phones without capitalism and therefore the industrial revolution… but how long? Centuries? Another millenia?
- Comment on Anon hates smartphones 7 months ago:
Yes capitalism did not make all scientific discoveries but it did use them to make more discoveries at a vastly faster rate.
- Comment on Anon hates smartphones 7 months ago:
Russia’s industrial revolution did not happen in a bubble. They did not invent the technology that allowed the industrial revolution, they took advantage of others inventions to take a very inefficient rout to the revolution. They have enormous resources and a vast population… yet it was much smaller capitalist nations that advanced much faster.
- Comment on Anon hates smartphones 7 months ago:
Capitalism incentivises rapid progress in all fields.
I’m not cheering for capitalism, just saying it takes advantage of the inherent greed of people to quickly speed innovation. There would be no industrial revolution without capitalism. At least not on the short scale of just a hundred years or two.
