  • Can someone explain to me why the border shouldn’t be closed except to legal travel?

    Because it sounds to me like illegal travel SHOULD be stopped. People immigrating illegally are working for super low wages, increasing supply of labor and therefore lowering demand. It’s bad for workers. I know people say “Americans won’t do those jobs” but that’s because they are paying nothing since they can get highly desperate exploitable people. Labor should be on the side of restricted immigration.

    Note I’m not talking about asylum, but the USA shouldn’t be the only place people go for asylum. It’s my impression that most immigrants are economic anyways.

  • Thanks so much for the reply. I didn’t understand that it’s private; I figured it was just aggregating Zillow and Craigslist postings etc, which are public. If that isn’t the case, then yes I can see how it might be illegal.

  • How is this different than gas stations looking at a price tracking app to set their prices? You know, the apps that show you what gas costs all over town. It’s just information, and they obviously make the choice to raise prices when theirs are low compared to peer competitors.

    That doesn’t mean a gas station doesn’t charge less when it’s in an undesirable location, or charge more when it’s in a busy location. Same is true for housing.

    I know everyone is pissed about the high cost of housing, but this case doesn’t really have merit. It’s not the horse to cheer for.

  • GA is about 10 times more dangerous per hour than driving.

  • Oh yeah raping people at music festivals is the best way ever to resist oppression.

    You know, I remember when MLK raped people at music festivals. Same with Gandhi. That’s actually how the USA got independence from England; they picked a music festival in England, killed some people there, raped some, killed them too, and paraded their corpses around.

  • The Nazis would have gotten away with the holocaust if they hadn’t started ww2.

    Israel will get away with this :(

  • It’s about interest, not consistency. This is true for all countries.

    There is no hypocrisy in IR, because there is only one justification for any action a country can take: self benefit.

  • Dude what, replace all of those with me skiing while my mouse jiggler keeps my slack status active lol

  • I was making the point that “your car is spying on you” probably isn’t true for a huge section of people, since there are lots of 10-15 year old cars on the road.

    Also, older cars are much more repairable than people consider. We just have a huge economic infrastructure set up around having the “next best thing”.

  • I find it very hard to believe that almost any car made before 2012 or so is tracking me.

    My aftermarket radio may be tracking me though.

  • To maintain an allied power center in the region. Same reason the US colludes with the saudis.

  • Good, can we have one that’s 100 times smarter and just runs the government benevolently? I’m really sick of civic responsibility

  • But the browser can’t handle other languages? That seems a bit silly

  • I don’t work with web stuff, why is js so weird? Can you write a website in other languages, like c# or python?

  • Why are there so many pedos among the rich

  • I’d love to go electric but most of the electric vehicles I’ve seen are a) luxury and b) small. Like I want something large that can pull a trailer and haul my kayaks/bikes/skis/tools/etc.

    So an actual SUV (not a small suv like Tesla X) sounds great, but all this luxury shit is a big turnoff for me. It’s going to get beat to hell, and I don’t want to worry about fixing all this electronic shit like pop out door handles. I don’t even want power windows or AC.

  • This is why I don’t believe people when they say “we don’t have an overpopulation problem, we have a distribution problem”

    Because if everyone in the world had my lifestyle, we would be emitting an insane amount of carbon. And I don’t want my standard of living to go down, and in fact I want everyone to live as nicely as I do. So clearly we need fewer people.
