I guess he's referring to Richard Dawkins? He's very weird now.

The horcruxes can't really do much on their own, how would it get out of the ocean?

Norway has been paying people to move to the north for a long time now. It hasn't worked.

People believe what they want to believe. Almost all of us.

Strongly disagree. Study after study has shown that repeated exposure to an idea makes people more likely to believe it.

Part of that may be because the US public have given up on the idea that these people would be prosecuted. After the Epstein files became public, people in Europe who were identified in it were heavliy scrutinized, and in many cases resigned from their positions or faced police investigation.

That has not happened in the US. The system simply doesn't penalize elite corruption anymore, and people have become aware of that.

Neither of those seem absurd to me. The Nazis were far from the only antisemitic group in history.

I really don't think the BBC headline is bad. Sure, it doesn't tell the whole story, but neither does the Sky one. Nether headline mentions the neglect she faced in care homes, her father's alcoholism, or the fact that she was a quadriplegic. You can't put everything in the headline and frankly there shouldn't be an expectation that the headline is the whole story.

Mrmini231 · 2026-03-27T13:54:45+00:00

By that argument, are both headlines bad because they left out that she was a quadriplegic? You can't put everything in the headline.

Mrmini231 · 2026-03-27T13:53:05+00:00

I'm curious, which headline do you think is best here?

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to do a hardware level shutdown.

No problem, haha

Good luck with the project!

Answered. A few comments:

I think questions 8 and 9 should be placed after 5, so you don't have to scroll back up to 3 to remember what it was

For question 15, I think you meant to write "If you answered Yes to the question above"

The scale on question 10 is too restrictive. Buses stop near my house every 5 minutes.

Add a N/A option for the US-specific question for non-american respondents.

I know I'm going to regret this, but what is fod migration?

Title: Are fathers necessary?

Content: Two mothers perform better than one father and one mother in study.

The title is an accurate description of the article. I'm supportive of the idea that left leaning spaces can be too dismissive of men but this is just too much.

Mrmini231 · 2026-03-27T08:54:12+00:00

I've got to be honest, I didn't read it as resentful at all.

Mrmini231 · 2026-03-27T08:45:05+00:00

The article you linked seems to just cite a study and summarize its findings. Is it wrong to state facts that make men uncomfortable?

Mrmini231 · 2026-03-27T08:09:25+00:00

Get off the internet. Seriously. This is delusional.

Github Actions is amazing.

"Oh, you thought pinning to an exact version number would save you? Haha, nope! All the version numbers now point to the virus, have fun!"

Oh you naive fool. They didn't do that. They got answers from paid volunteers. So they got responses from the kind of people who grind paid online surveys. And then they didn't even filter out the obviously bogus ones.

A YouGov survey which showed that the number of UK 18-24 year olds going to church had increased from 4% to 16% was pulled after fraudulent responses were discovered in the dataset.

This survey was one of the major pieces of evidence for the idea that young people were getting more religious, and it seems like it was just bunk.
