Most people are tired of censors who propagate their moral rulesets self righteously. In the 70s/80s/90s it was the Christian right against music and video games.

Now it's the progressive left against everyone else, calling them nazis, fascists, and alt right. This ostracizes the center so good luck with that...

If little boys were raped in culture, they would likely replicate that behaviour no?

An example being pederasty of little boys in Afghanistan being common, similar to your example. Completely cultural and I would argue traumatic.

Most people ignore women's general bisexuality, and confuse this by equating sexual preference as "complicated".

Not for men (for the most part, as in 99%). They either love vagina, and are disgusted by penis, or vice versa.

On the other side, most "straight" women, fantasize and experiment with the same sex, and to them, preference is usually on a sliding scale.

That all said, sexual preference is further confusing when we have a large subset of straight males, being attracted to very feminine transsexuals, like Bailey Jay.

To me this means male sexual preference is holistic, meaning if you pass as a woman, but have a penis, you may attract many straight males, who would gag at the idea of a well toned and very masculine male.

Even if the masculine "man" was a woman passing as one, with a vagina.

Interesting stuff, I checked the website out and was impressed by the design.

I'm not too familiar with analytics and marketing, but I did like how the contribution and web store mechanics were set up.

That all said, I'm curious how much revenue you can attribute to optimization versus just general interest when it came to people wanting to donate, or buy a MAGA hat.

What I mean is, how much money could have been generated, without utilizing optimization tools such as the ones you used from Adobe, and by adding "Official" to everything.

Not trying to demoralize them, I'm just curious if they could separate that revenue, and point to a portion of it that directly came from optimization.

> But weighed against simplicity of government, the ability to actually know the rules and follow them, I don't think that social justice wins. Let that debate take place in the market of ideas rather than in the halls of justice.

Ideally any word should be able to be copyrighted or whatever.

But if you want to ban words based on something, like racism or whatever. Don't be surprised when someone's sensibilities outpace yours.

No it's true. Exchanges are prime targets, so it's risky. Wallets on desktops come in a variety of flavours, and can be secured. Getting root access to your device is trickey, let alone they would not know you have your bitcoin.

Beyond that, the pros and experts who have a lot do cold storage. Putting the keys offline.

> "I really don't think that the six-hour day fits with an entrepreneurial world, or the start-up world," argues Erik Gatenholm, chief executive of Gothenburg-based bio-ink company.

> He is candid enough to admit he tested the method on his production staff after "reading about the trend on Facebook" and musing on whether it could be an innovative draw for future talent.

> But the firm's experiment was ditched in less than a month, after bad feedback from employees.

We already have short work weeks. It's called part time. If you don't like the pay, blame reality. This experiment was done with tax money, and my guess is businesses would not voluntarily pay more for less work, without massive subsidy, which would be pro large corporation, and anti small business.

How divisive. If Mars ever gets colonized, it'll be accomplished by those with wealth, drive, and scientific know how.

I welcome anyone, including Elon Musk, to attempt it. Barring anyone is an affront to human progress.

> The tech industry is a global one, and it depends on hiring workers and employees from around the world.

Honestly, this sounds very Pro American Corporations, and very anti-other countries.

No one ever mentions Brain Drain - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_capital_flight

It's a disservice to young and struggling Americans, and young and struggling youth in other countries, by making it harder for youth here to find jobs, and robbing other nations and cultures of their best.

> The tech industry is a global one, and it depends on hiring workers and employees from around the world.

So there's no need for immigration for tech. Remote working, new start ups in other nations.

I see no problem with restructuring our immigration patterns, especially if it helps young Americans already here gets jobs more easily, and enriches other nations and peoples, so they don't have to "move to the US" for a future. My ideal world has people working in their own countries, for their own families and culture, not for the established corporations of the West.
