  • The ability to speak and translate between any languages

  • disappearing to sneak up on Putin action-movie style?
    ...nah, probably not for real. but maybe in some high schooler's homework in a couple decades!

  • By raw amount usually yes, by proportion of earnings/income usually no

  • Nice, a three sentence callout without any refutation or detail.

    If you are so confident in their confident incorrectness, put at least a minimum of effort into furthering the discussion.

  • Sounds like a chomky

  • Am I reading this right? The torture occurred more than twenty years ago, and there is still an ongoing legal battle?

  • They're incrementing it every day; what's 29+5?

  • world war rule

    Jump
  • They presumably wanted to write World War II with Roman numerals, but needed to use uppercase i's in this particular font

  • It's never RICO, until it's RICO.

  • Ah, that is an excellent use case and one that hadn't occurred to me at all. Thanks for clarifying that for me!

  • I'm a layman but from what I've read recently, 92 to 78 is 14 degrees; the typical temperature differential is a maximum of about 20. There may be a few more degrees you can eke out, but you are getting a majority of the potential benefits

  • It's mass delusion. They're operating primarily on lies and fantasy instead of any reality.

    In other words, trying to apply logical reasoning to their perspective is not going to work.

  • Wait, it's just supposed to hide your username when you're viewing the app locally? I don't mean to be rude, but what is the use case for this? Do you frequently have people looking over your shoulder at the screen or something?

  • Remarkable that it only took one reply for the mask to come all the way off.

    I hope someday the universe puts you on the receiving end of some equally bigoted bullshit so you get at least a chance at self-awareness.

  • I think similar logic to the paradox of tolerance may be applicable here...

    It wasn't a perfect solution, but directly correcting the proportions affected by the systemic problem (using same or similar discriminators as the actual problem) was progress in the right direction. That bigot's opinion goes the exact wrong direction; the goal should have been to reach a point where there isn't enough scarcity in higher education for anyone to "lose out". In other words, the policy should try to make itself unnecessary.

    I don't claim to have the solution to systemic racism, but I wouldn't be surprised if a reversal of the last half-century's anti-education trends did a lot of the legwork on that by itself. And if there are still systemic issues to address, hey! Now you have a whole lot more educated folks to help figure out what to do from there.

  • There's little difference from their perspective.

  • Even if you can pull this off, it seems like a quick way to get fired or worse. You might consider whether there's an alternative means of affixing your badge that's less distracting/frustrating

  • We sharpened each other’s posting skills.

    your reply comes off so edgy that at least this part must be true

  • Username jokes can be low-hanging fruit, but I thought that one was fairly wholesome.
