There is a way: aquaponics. Extensive use of greenhouses with condensed, nutrient-rich growing environments, vertical farming, and positive feedback loops with fish could feed the world without the use of pesticides. It’s difficult to set up these systems in developing areas due to the initial investment required, but…

The difference is that in the US, it’s much harder to get away with murder. In Mexico, the cartels operate with almost total impunity.

If you have Two-Factor Authentication turned on, you can enable Apple’s “Recovery Key” feature, which will prevent anyone from resetting your password without being in possession of the key. That includes Apple Support, who in my experience will not even talk to you about your password if you cannot provide the key or…

You’re the one making the extraordinary claim that Harvard is a bastion of conservatism that loves Trump, the opposite of virtually every other university in the country. Why don’t you go out and find some hard data supporting your position? I’ll wait.

Why don’t we stop generalizing based on demographics and take a look at some actual Harvard-specific numbers? Here is one poll from March 2016 finding that only 4% of likely voters in the student body supported Trump:

Yes... by a 4-point margin. That’s small enough that it could be a sampling error. And there is a difference between “educated whites”, which is a group including all age and income levels, and “white college students”, a much narrower and more liberal demographic. And liberalism increases in a somewhat linear fashion…

Do you mean the demographics that show that the more educated you are, the more likely you are to support Democratic candidates? Or the ones that say young people (and in particular, highly-educated young people) are overwhelmingly liberal overall? I get that you’re probably trying to say that Harvard has a lot of…

Uh... the students? Most of the faculty?

We’re talking about massive international drug syndicates here, with supply chains and members all over Mexico. If they wanted to kill him, you really don’t think they could have found him in another Mexican state?

See, that’s fair. But yours is a nuanced take with contextual details and an even-handed tone. The article, on the other hand, is a piping-hot snark bomb that comes across as simplistic and mean-spirited—which, if you haven’t noticed, is something of a pattern for Isha Aran.

Uh... he wrote the fucking thing. Were they supposed to give an award for writing to someone who didn’t write the script? Were they supposed to give an award to a different show, because #equality? Are you saying they should have had a woman write the thing to begin with? We can have that discussion, but that really…

He also joined virtually every other nation in the world in the most robust agreement ever conceived to actually deal with the problem—an agreement that Trump promptly abandoned. He attempted to block the implementation of several major pipelines and placed a moratorium on new offshore drilling, moves that Trump also…

Yeah, tribalism is exactly what it is. I’m a dirty pinko commie liberal myself, and like everyone, I of course prefer to read things I agree with. But I don’t like Splinter’s constant tone of shrill moralistic outrage, their relentless black-and-white, us-and-them thinking, or their tendency to strip every ounce of…

I wasn’t trying to say that exceptions to that rule did not exist—in fact, I had a high school friend who was deported at 18 with no convictions, felony or otherwise. But now that Trump has brought his “literally everyone is an enforcement priority” policy into force, it’s like the dogs of war are loose at ICE. There…

Yeah... for all its many, many faults, Gawker was at least somewhat self-aware most of the time. They were über-lefty, but they knew it, and I always got the sense that they had the ability to laugh at themselves and recognize their own excesses. Splinter, on the other hand... well, they seem to actively discourage…

Yes, of course there were deportation horror stories before Trump. Now there are just way more of them, and new ones are being created faster than ever before. The most recent numbers I’ve seen say that deportation arrests have increased by 30% this year, and it really feels like they’re just getting started (see the…

Dude, these people have been doing the exact same thing with bible verses for thousands of years. This is not new territory for them.

The assault took place over ten years ago, and his victim does not appear to want to press charges.

Since you seem to know more than the rest of us, can you link everyone to the story where the man was accused of rape? Thanks.

There’s a new feature coming where you can quickly disable fingerprint/face unlock by pressing the power button five times. So if you’re going through customs / airport security / a traffic stop, just do that and they’ll need the backup passcode to unlock it. Even now, all you have to do to require the passcode is…
