Same for me. A few comments are unlikely to be persuasive by themselves but they are great at introducing me to new perspectives. It's not uncommon with some follow up research that I do change my mind, and comments are what get the ball rolling. Especially true for topics I haven't thought much about.

Voting provides feedback and a way to democratically determine something's visibility. I would call it a stretch to say something is invalidated just because it's unpopular. The only benefit to having a popular post/comment is better visibility. The points themselves have no value beyond what you personally give them.

Some people will filter what they say to exploit this system, but no system of even modest complexity would be fully immune to that. If there is a problem, it's the users having poor judgement, but it's beyond the scope of a forum sorting system to save people from themselves.

Haven't used latex for any actual papers but when it was pitched it became pretty clear it was for power users. I just assume it's working like they want it to.

Also, word formatting has a few options to determine how the formatting should interact with text that even has little example icons for it. IIRC I just did wrap text and moved it around easily once I was finished other editing.

The TOS can include things that a judge refuses to honor. Even if you ultimately only have a digital copy of games, purchasing them still gives you reasonable expectation of continued access absent good cause to lock you out. Removing access without a good reason is then effectively false advertising.

They said they're out, sorry.

While true, many people use that as an excuse to not even try. Even if you can't stop exploitation as just one individual, this doesn't mean you get a pass to make things worse.

If you consider it a binary, sure, perfection is impossible. But I would say trying with real effort qualifies as being an ethical consumer.

In this case the land that contains the crater is valuable because it is uniquely fascinating to visitors, so I would treat it like a national park. It makes sense to reserve it as an exceptional public resource even granting private land ownership as a general practice.

There's a similar one for vices.

I appreciate posts like this. The debates in the comments show people's beliefs are being challenged and it's reaching people who are at least willing to consider the argument instead of dismissing it out of hand. You can't change someone's mind without introducing doubt, and pointing out a double standard is a good approach. In contrast, a post with no objections is likely only reaching people already convinced.
