> The Left still holds majority

This is factually incorrect.

Summing the votes of all parties that could be considered left (Green, S&D and The Left) you get 224 seats, which is about 31% of the European Union Parliament.

> C is a subset of C++

It is not, they diverged since decades now.

Still, even if this was the case, the programming styles are so different that there’s nothing to gain considering them as any more similar as any two other languages.

> If this let you at least ingest basically any eBook format, I'd be super interested.

Ever tried Calibre?

Words can’t describe how much I despise PR jargon!

“more relevant offers” now universally means “we’ll spy on you, so we can get more money from you!”

The tripartition of psyche is not naturalistic at all.

Then let me rephrase it this way: I don’t see how Jung is more antiscientific than any other psychological theory.
Comment · 4 years ago
I never understood how Jung is more unscientific than Freud.

At least: I don’t see this choir of “but it’s antiscientific!!!” cries when Freud is discussed, but still there’s no evidence whatsoever for the tripartition of self which is at the very base of Freud’a theories.

The super-ego is no more scientific than synchronicities!

> Don’t use content likely to offend people based on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or political views.

Stating that I voted for Trump (I didn’t) is likely to offend many people.

The breadth and vagueness of these CoCs is astonishing!

The then-go-somewhere-else argument also does not apply, since de-facto monopolists are also starting to apply similarly silly CoCs…

Well, I suppose the last sentence kind of betrays your bias.

Still not a bias, but a consequence of a system of values.

That’s not the point, you told me that you are not fine with a whole peninsula being owned by the same entity.

My question is: where do you draw the line?

Can someone own a 300 sq meters house? A castle? A golf course? A small island?

Are you against private property all together?

If not, where do you draw the line? Is a private villa acceptable? A private golf course? A hill? A small island?

Can I decide who enters my 220 square meters apartment?
