It just struck me as weird. Really strange thing to add in an edit considering the rest of the post, just extremely confusing in context.

Sorry, is this post satire or are you talking about satire you did not recognize? NEVER seen a vegan call breast milk non-vegan and have in fact actually seen more discussion about whether vegans should be breastfeeding children at all, I.e. is it healthy to do so with their diet.

You've put the word debate in quotation marks flippantly like there's an obvious answer, but I'm pretty sure you just misunderstood a conversation rife with sarcasm or taken out of context (or straight up made it up).

Idk dude, just googled "id analytics ssn" and I immediately get a page of results of articles from 2012-15. Could probably just add "as someone else" in scholar for the paper

An ID analytics study showed 40 million united states SSN had more than one name associated with them over a decade ago.

Whitepaper from LexisNexis, corporate background check company, explaining avout SSN not being a unique or even really reliable identifier

"I believe it is their opinion,", genius. The irony is frankly uncomfortable.

Anyone able to find the actual published info? The hyperlink in the article leads to another article which also alleges this but also does not provide said documentation. Kind of a low point for NPR to exclusively have other articles in the hyperlinks.

I think you're doing yourself a disservice here by calling these terms esoterica. Political ideologies being clearly defined and understood on a wide scale is not a negative thing. Most of the terms here in this dude's post are talked about as solutions (or status quo) in the current era, all of it should be fresh unless you willfully ignore every single political post on every social media you use.

Way more importantly: You really think the last 20 years were a shining example of public intelligence? Truly? With the denialism, the outright lies that have been signal boosted, the public outrage over hypothetical people and made-up organizations who never existed? How can you justify saying "these terms are esoteric" when they are literally modern? How can you justify this position you're taking where low/no information being the norm needs to be enforced for things to be "normal" for you? You're flippantly dismissing the idea that people could have opinions or motivations you aren't instantly aware of, which is stupid beyond belief.

The entirety of democratic politics is conflicting opinion/value/ideology being weighed by the many. What the hell is the problem with letting people who are informed talk about it in a public space?

Is this copypasta I'm unfamiliar with

Consider valve's lasting legacy and primary method of monetizing their games. (It was always about the hats)

Shroud (and folks like me) with 200+ hours found the fun. The quest design in starfield has extreme lows, but it has some extreme highs that are probably helped if you watched the shows and films the quests are referencing. The faction questlines are stellar the first time through.

If you just hate all quests and only care about gameplay outside of that, you should probably admit that to yourself instead of flinging buzzwords and design guesses around. Bethesda open worlds have always felt surprisingly dead, closest they've got is morrowind and oblivion with almost every npc having a domicile and a daily routine. Their open worlds have been panned as being empty, too quest-locked, too small (or artificially large), poorly balanced, and any number of other complaints that they're trash/slop/unplayable.

We've heard this take (new game bad, old game good) for the entirety of video games existing across basically every genre. If you don't like it, cool. It's a game where you assign your own goals after a point (or even from the get-go) so ultimately it's on you to find a satisfying gameplay loop. It's okay if you can't, but it says something about you and not the title, especially when you turn into a goblin who can't stand the fun or joy of others on public spaces
