Yeah, even if you don't care about the privacy aspect, you get a really good deal. They're not the best in class in anything - email, VPN, password manager, calendar, cloud storage, email aliases - but each of their products are somewhere between more than good enough, and genuinely great. And...

Yeah, this argument makes no sense. Russia has already blocked all the news sites they don't like, so all Cloudflare does is help keep Russia's propaganda online.

I loved reading this article, and I understand that the book merely serves as a starting point to a more extensive discussion of this topic, but I do think that there are reasons to cut the book some slack. In particular, the Rocky and Grace aren't two random life forms. They have to share a...

The longer this show went on, the more I disliked it. I loved the first episode, I loved how Karli Morgenthau was introduced, but they had to work so hard at making her the bad guy despite of the fact that she's obviously correct that it just felt manipulative. The ending was disgraceful, where...

"The Backstrong C1 touts itself as chiropractor-designed" So it's based on pseudoscience, and will sometimes randomly seriously injure you, to the point where you might die after sitting on it?

The console whataboutism argument is bad for three reasons. 1. It devalues mobile platforms. I get that my console is a toy. I wish it was more open, but I understand that my Switch is my Mario Machine, and nothing else. My life doesn't depend on my Switch. My phone, on the other hand, is much...

I think gun sales should be much better regulated than they are at the moment. I also think that this whole discussion is ridiculous. With a 1000$ CNC machine, you can make a real gun, right now. Nobody cares about that. With a 400$ 3D printer, you can make a toy gun that might blow your hand...

These are non-specific symptoms. They're typical for stress, or, well, mass hysteria. Which is almost certainly what this is.

I loved Motorstorm so much that I was willing to buy this game just to help keep the studio alive, and maybe produce a real successor in the future. I was willing to do that all the way until you brought up loot boxes. I hate loot boxes so viscerally that even the mere possibility that this game...

Specs look good. Price point is great. OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS THING! WHO DESIGNED THIS, A SIX-YEAR-OLD? Are there any affordable, well-made gaming PCs suitable for adults? The Razers look great, but they're at the high end for their performance, and everything else looks like Megatron had a...

The sad part is, of course, that prostitution without these online services is much more dangerous to the people working as prostitutes. This kind of bullshit is harmful to everybody involved.

I don't know if you intended the second sentence to be an argument in favor of the first, but in case you did: I don't think "we've been doing it for a long time" is indicative for what is morally or ethically wrong or right. I'm sure you can come up with your own counterexamples :-)

I'm pretty sure this is not aimed at vegetarians or vegans. I haven't eaten meat in years, and I have zero interest in trying this burger. Many existing vegetarian and vegan burgers are already much better-tasting than any meat burgers, since they're not encumbered by the limitation of having to...

You nailed the problem with this review, I think. You can't do unblinded food reviews if you actually want to know how food really tastes, since the taste of food is so easily malleable by our expectations. Of course, most people who will eat this burger will know that it is not real meat, so...

Don't blame autism for your abusive behavior, jackass. You're making everybody else with autism look like a potential danger. It's perfectly possible to have autism, yet still understand how to avoid sexual misconduct. In fact, most people with autism seem to have no problem doing just that.

This is the first Forza game ever (including the Horizon games) that I won't be buying. I'll also contact my representative and suggest that they should take steps to criminalize loot boxes in games, since it's basically gambling that's accessible to minors. This is despicable, and the worst...

This. I find it quite interesting that the media never brings up this possibility when weird stuff starts happening (see also: all of the clown sightings a while ago that freaked everybody out), but when reporting about older mass hysteria events (e.g. Halley's comet), they often puzzle over...

I don't think that's quite it. It's probably very difficult for the average person to tell the difference between real medicine, and something like homeopathy, particularly since in the US, supplements are basically unregulated.

Which rights? The right to force a private company to allow you to register a domain name?

Nope, it's not. In fact, I think the source of the problem is that we're treating cops really badly. We're not paying them well, and we're not training them well, and we're telling them that they're here to control the population, rather than serve and protect the people. And then we give them...
