Because they believe the North Pole is the center of the flat earth, I don't think this would convince him.

Taking a flight a long the southern hemisphere, though... flat earthers literally believe there are no flights between South America, southern Africa, Australia, new Zealand etc., because they're too far apart

🚨 TOO INTERESTING ALERT 🚨

It's born from the same idea that people will pass out Halloween candy with blades in it. Which is a thing that is everyone "knows" about but has never actually been reported to happen.

Love this. I also suspect that the correlation/causation goes both ways: trans people are more likely going to tell a friend they're trans if that person is not transphobic.

In the words of a friend who used to cheat (and now regrets it), it felt nice to actually be able to win at something when life tends to hand you so many losses.

I fucking love Discord and use it for as much communication as possible...

It's so weird to me that we're currently defining what people will refer to as "the 20s" for the next century

r/mensfashion is one of the bigger subreddits where this is happening. I read through the post. Everyone who expressed interest was getting down voted like crazy.

Unfortunately I think engineers, as employees of a company, don't have a lot of power. You aren't typically the one making feature decisions. You can always try to talk product people out of bad ideas, but at some point if you refuse to do what you've been told to, you lose your job. Some engineers are in a financial position to take that high road, but a lot aren't. And then even if you do quit, there will always be someone else willing to do what you aren't.

I think as long as there is money in doing unethical (but legal) things, those things will continue to happen
