  • Project Farm (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vR15u0vmms in this case) is an excellent source of unbiased reviews.

    He’s not always the most in-depth, and his reviews can miss some important usability metrics, but he’s excellent for showing his work. If you want good A/B reviews, I’d be hard pressed to not recommend him. Just mind that some of the items he shows aren’t going to be as easy as they look to use.

    (my opinion came from my experience, so I won’t be shocked if his tests disagree, but he’s still a good recommendation for a huge variety of goods) EG: Some of these glues really suck at adhering to certain surfaces, so it really can be a case by case basis as to which is absolutely best.


  • Nope. Purely wrong. The answer to the paradox of tolerance is to only use violence in defense.

    Yes, that is also a grey zone to many perspectives, but things rapidly become clear if you expand the scope of the question… For an example: Trump’s ignorant, braindead policies on immigration and “sanctuary cities” DOES make sense … if you’re an isolated dipshit desperately trying to climb the unfair social ladder Trump and his ilk constructed… Though if you expand it to the scope of humanity and all the gains we see when people (let alone disparate cultures) work together, his policies are a HUGE loss.

    Spoilers: If someone wants to go out of their way to kill someone who will only get violent in defense, that means that they want to ATTACK those people.



  • Oh I enjoy a good BBQ, but the sheer emphasis many put on them is… really weird.

    I think many who would downvote me conflate the social aspects with the “BBQ” part. Just throw a damn party! I don’t care what you cook but the point is it doesn’t NEED to include one of the most wasteful and silly forms of cooking.

    Again, not bashing BBQ as an actual cooking practice: A BBQ house restaurant is a beautiful thing if they’re not fucking it up. Though that doesn’t mean every John Doe needs a BBQ in their back yard for a party! It’s about how weirdly popular they are in the US.

    Not about how viable or tasty they are.

    Yes, because idiots allowed vile malicious non-idiots to gain control of their “news” media and stock markets, so OFC that went down hill fast.

    Again: It’s all about preventing and removing idiots from power, not about trying to control the masses of idiots.

    You control the up-stream. Fighting down-stream is just begging to be pissed on.
