Birth control is made widely available in Africa, and population growth there is slowing at what can only be called a reasonable rate(i.e. current population kinda high, first derivative also kinda high, second derivative healthy negative). Your perspective is a common one towards Africa, and, in general, a kind of racist, imperialistic one.
Propaganda by whom, and for what purpose? How do you identify it as propaganda instead of legitimate science? You have to answer these basic questions and support your answers with evidence before anybody is going to buy into your conspiracy theories.
Look, sometimes people need to engage in some low-level accidental genocide before they see their mistake. It's not asking too much to have a couple dozen dead children so some suburbanites can learn the value of modern medicine. Unless of course they double down on human nature, and blame someone else for their mistakes, and keep killing and mutilating children.
You say "on par", but the reality is that until vaccines were discovered, smoking wasn't that big a deal due to the probability that one of the diseases we now vaccinate against would kill you. Smoking is among leading causes of death because we managed to clear out a whole host of really nasty bugs.
I personally believe in this day and age, anyone actively preventing vaccination of a child should be brought up on charges of crimes against humanity. Not even slightly hyperbolic.
you might be able to relocate to a civilized country.
Do civilized countries actually want us? Look at how much some slashdotters hate foreign IT workers as for comparison (unless they only hate them because they're racist, I guess). I won't deny that I've often considered escaping the more troublesome elements of U.S. culture, but I'm not convinced it's really possible.
Yes, but part of the point is the scummy company loses. Sometimes tort law isn't about recouping losses, but preventing unethical behavior in the first place. Frequently the classes of wronged people don't suffer much, but LOTS of people suffer. To me, it seems like a valid course for redress of grievances, and you shouldn't be legally allowed to sign away your rights.
Look, I don't think you understand how science works.
Thousands of studies with use long-term empirical evidence to examine a main hypothesis and end up supporting it from numerous different directions: anecdotal, and easily dismissed.
One study that makes an assertion that SOUNDS LIKE it contradicts what people believe is a secondary hypothesis: complete and valid scientific invalidation.
It's not like it's already a well-acknowledged fact that antarctic warming appears to be slower than the rest of the world already or anything.
Not that I'm engaging in the most reasoned of debate here, and believe me I'm coming more from a devil's advocate position than anything else, but:
Why should it be unacceptable to judge someone for having a substantially, disabling limitation on their intelligence, but acceptable to judge someone for being slightly below average intelligence? If we agree to the fundamental presumption that intelligence is outside of ones own control, why can you judge anyone for being stupid at all?
Do members of a group really need to be told they don't necessarily conform to the stereotype? Imagine telling a crowd of women that they aren't all irrational and overly emotional because some subset of them joined the debate club. It's still insulting, because of the presumption.
Don't forget sticky-keys. This guy is plainly working in windows which has a number of baked in(usually annoying) features for accessibility.
Just press shift 5 times. Then you can press shift, then the key you need to use, separately. I just wrote a method for work one handed to see if it works. It seems to. Give it a try.
Which of the following groups is more likely to be using some kind of birth control? 1. Women who are anticipating consensual sex in the near future. 2. Women who are not anticipating non consensual sex in the near future.
Only to the extent that people believe scientific facts over emotionally appealing nonsense. Which in the United States is literally a minority of the population. Reaffirming the truth of the matter publicly is a good thing.
Well, actually understanding the science of and mathematics of things in the news falls into the general purview of "News for nerds". It's tenuous, but I found the articles informative and directly related to current events (i.e. "news"). I feel like the article is more on topic than your complaint about it.
I don't see why we should. I think they made it apparent in Star Trek that Giordi had a peculiar condition that made the fictional conventional cures for blindness impossible/unappealing..
Projects use languages, projects need employees, and employees need proven credentials. Inertia will continue to be a huge component of language selection for decades to come. Ruby is the last language to make progress without an already big tech name pushing it and it's already more than a decade old.

Well, I hear they take Canadian currency. That's definitely not REAL money.
This is unacceptable advice, unless sonny boy wants to come over to install every piece of software dear-ol-dad wants.

You were. I'm not sure what you're reading that makes you think I was taking your post seriously.
Nope, there's no way I was both aware of that and building on the same sarcastic foundation. nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnope, I must clearly be an idiot.

Minecraft's always-on DRM is baked into the gameplay?
That's not hard to guess at.

Yes, but what's your opinion of UNEVENLY dismissing cases? Is that better or worse than dismissing none?
I don't see why we should. I think they made it apparent in Star Trek that Giordi had a peculiar condition that made the fictional conventional cures for blindness impossible/unappealing..
Yep, no way ~6% of a country could possibly be interested in what the holder of its highest political office has to say.
Doing something untoward? Give lots of falsified negative readings in your area to give the impression to observers that nothing is wrong.
Yeah, but now 140 characters is part of twitter's culture and identity. The fact that the SMS limit doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter one iota.
What is twitter without banally short attention spans?

Except that VPNs are worth billions of dollars to institutional users(like banks). You can't just say "nope, block it"
