The app is so much more convenient, but it’s something I’m wiling to sacrifice to avoid Google.

It works so well

China is making rapid improvements in high speed rail. It would be nice if we could get that kind of motivation in other countries.

Magnifying glass + lots of typing ones and zeros.

I’ve had issues with printers and printer drivers until I got a brother laser printer. It seems to just work all the time.

I did not say that, and I did not imply it either. I was telling you what you can do to improve your interactions with this community and it’s mods.

I was given moderator privileges a few hours ago. I have not yet seen those comments, and had nothing to do with them.

I suggest taking some time away from this to clear your head before making further comments. It’s hard to argue in good faith while angry.

I’m always happy to listen to feedback, and change my behaviour when I’m wrong.

I will not be removing comments just because they have been reported, or just because I disagree with them. I will only be removing comments that explicitly break the rules as listed on the sidebar. You are welcome to report any comment you believe should be removed. There is no penalty for incorrectly reporting something if it is done in good faith (i.e. don’t report everything just because I said no penalty).

While not explicitly against rule 1 (Be nice), I believe “zionist rats” could have been phrased as “zionists” or “zionist people” while still making the same point.

I heard there was a person hired specifically to keep Elon away from the critical areas so he doesn’t try to overrule a decision and destroy the company.

Fewer hours should be a good thing.

Capitalism ruined that by taking the income from the people who were working and giving it all to the already rich people.

With adequate distribution of wealth (such as universal basic income), people will rejoice when their job is replaced by automation, because then they’ll have more free time.

That’s correct. It’s an example of why assuming that “correlation = causation” can lead to some bad decisions.

Drinking wine and living longer are correlated, but it is not likely that one causes the other. It is more likely that there is something else (such as disposable income) that causes both.

In a similar way, ice-cream sales and drownings peak at the same time every year. The ice-cream is not causing people to drown, and neither are drowning people buying a significant amount of ice-cream. Both can be attributed to the higher temperatures of summer.

A random magazine comparing average lifespan of different countries.

Another possible explanation would be that most of the high lifespan countries had universal healthcare.

I doubt any efforts went into fact checking as the magazine just used the fact to promote wine drinking.

People who drink wine live longer.

It’s not the wine that’s extending people’s lives, it’s the healthcare and lower stress from having enough money to afford wine.
