honest question, what's an "Unicorn"?

"The King James Bible is the most widely read work in English literature" I've read this many times, but is it true? Are there real sources to support this claim?

What does it mean it has not committed to keeping it operational? Are the costs that high to send those signals to consider just ditching the entire project?

What are you on about, China is way behind the US in emissions per per capita: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di... …

Not that that is the whole story but the governing party is called the "Christian Democratic Union of Germany"

It's also very bad for employees when there are not many other companies around. It works for the movie industry because they have hubs (ie. Hollywood) where you have loads of studios so you can …

I think this is not such a big issue, if it was divorce would be illegal. If anything I would argue the problem lies then on how the estate sees marriage, not the other way around. The agreement I hav…

Haha, well that's stretching the argument a bit, but for the sake of conversation I would then ask for proof that family is indeed the "basic building block of society" and that what MA…

I think the line is on whether it's a personal/private matter and when it's not. The NSA is a government agency, so what it does is in the public interest. A guy planning to bomb someth…

It is way different having to kill a lion that is making life in your village miserable to having this foreigner come in and do it for "fun" disregarding the laws of your country. One thing …

It's not a competition on which one is worse. If both were terrible, both should be called out and condemned.

This reminds me a lot of The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Selfish_Gene ). That book actually coined the word "meme". Mindblowing bo…

well, potentially the audio could be edited as well, which is much easier to fake than video

Why not a phone number or an email? It's way simpler ...

I'm sorry dude, but not every pre-codition is because people don't exercise or don't eat well.

True, you're right. But I guess if you have a way of achieving the same goals without doing that it should be favored?

And similar accusations can be made of the US/EU from the other side. Scaling down the political violence is the only way to get out of that mess.

So you punish an entire group of people by weakening their economy until their government does what an external entity wants them to do?. Seems quite a violent approach.
