It's irritating to see this trite message whenever anyone says anything slightly controversial. No one elected you head censor.


Unfortunately the system doesn't right itself - it needs moderation to bump it out of its failure modes.

Unluckily for the lot of you, that happens to be my job. In case it helps at all, these nagging comments are even more tedious to write than they are to read.

Dan G would make the perfect Nazi. Makes excuses for censorship, defends censorship by claiming it is his job, acts like something he goes out of his way to do is something he finds necessary but distasteful. Disgusting.


Yeah I also like that about china. For example this time it didn't interfere https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/genghis-khan-exhibition... Could site countless of other examples of the chinese not meddling


That seems like a poor counter. Everyone gets sick as far as I know not everyone becomes disabled.


Maybe it would? I mean if yyou're smart tell us how 50 percent of Canucks getting wiped out would play out. You act as if plenty of political entities didn't cease to exist because of the plague.


Yeah it's not as if Texas was frozen over helpless and without power not too long ago


The freeze would've been pleasant if it weren't for the power failure


No, it wasn't. I had power the entire time and I had to help neighbors whose vehicles would not start and deal with dangerous roads. No one in Texas has the correct winter tires and cities lack the infrastructure to clear the roads quickly. It was dangerous, not pleasant, even with electricity.


Oh please, I was driving the whole time. It was fun if anything.


Winter tires can't really help on ice. Source: live in michigan.


wot!? regular tires are terrifying on ice.

As a Minnesotan I concur, but most people don’t put winter tires on. It’s infuriating.

For those not in the know, the rubber is formulated to be softer at cold temperatures. Summer/performance tires get ridiculously hard and all-season tires are “meh” at best.


And winter tires are just as terrifying on ice.


Yeah I guess decent people are dummies for not wanting to live in the world made in the wake of geniuses like you and Harvey Weinstein.


I wouldn't use the word "decent" for someone who pokes their nose at your use of the F-word and voice intonation. I would rather use "control freaks".


Yes, the people who are specifically critical of abusive practices of poweful executives are the "control freaks" here. Flawless logic.


In your mind what does the word often mean?


Just because competition and the "market" don't think much of your preference doesn't mean it doesn't exist lol. What a self centered view! Also it seems to me when there are no variations in the options that's when it gets the most competitive. Commodity markets are the most competitive in the world. Jesus.


Which is crazy. Wealthy people can afford to view housing as an asset because they are wealthy. Poor people can't afford property because they are poor. That's like saying feudal lords were wise for viewing grain as an asset and not an expense. Wild.


Clearly you need to play more civilization builder games. Grain is the most important asset, without it you can neither feed your people nor sell the excess to your starving neighbors for sweet gold coins.


Games where you role-play as a feudal lord? You're either making his point for him, or missing it.


Ken M is that you?
