Lots of people rate items but don't leave textual reviews. The count reflects those reviews too.

I would think a "pet language" would belong to folks who do know how to code rather than those who don't. People who don't know how to code are probably on their first or second language and are asking legitimate beginner questions. They probably don't consider the language to be a pet language but more of just "the language they're learning".

No, the Kaspersky should move completely outside of Russia until Russia is gone from Ukraine. Kaspersky should in no way be seen as supporting the war and illegal attempt to take over another country. I'd expect any American company to do the same.

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Halo yet. Great Sci-Fi with the overall plot. Great character development with the back stories. Great action with the fight scenes. If you look at is as it's own thing rather than how closely that tracks with the game (I'm fine with that), Halo is my favorite show this year.

I've watched all three seasons of Motherland: Fort Salem. By far the best episode was the Dancing Orgy episode. What the hell was that?!

How do I take a look around WikiTribune to see if it's something I might be interested in without having to sign up? People like me who don't know what the site offers (beyond the marketing on the front page) are unlikely to donate.

Depends. Are these leather "face diapers" for cats -- yes, hard to believe a cat would put up with them. Or maybe they're "Leather Face" diapers for cats -- for truly hardcore horror fans who have cats with poopy problems.

My bad. I didn't word my comment properly. I took exception with the "choosing" part. That you were implying that if people weren't choosing to be out of work that there would be no more unfilled jobs. Looking at this today I'm not sure if that's what you were implying or not.

> There is a labor SHORTAGE. Right now, people are CHOOSING to be unemployed, there are plenty of jobs.

Source? A quick search of jobs vs people and similar queries doesn't seem to show "plenty of jobs". I'm not confident enough in my knowledge or even search to say you're wrong but the top of Google (and recent Fed statements) don't seem to back you up.

Yes, antibiotics are needed and used everywhere. However, research was shelved for more than 15 years because only third world countries had great needs for anything new and there wasn't first world money going into antibiotics. Money trumped the needs of the poor. I'm guessing you didn't read any of the dozens of articles found by searching. This money over people and lack of research is exactly why we have all the difficult to treat "antibiotics of last resort" bacterial infections in first world counties today. Definitely worth reading about the details if you want an bit of an eye-opening on the influence of money in patents/medicine/research.

Antibiotics and antibiotic research is the most widely cited example. A couple internet searches should bring you to enough links to keep you reading for hours.

If you look back to when this deal was made it was as much about showing the Libs how Trumpets were all about the jobs and how they knew how to bring manufacturing back to America. Anything like abandonment clauses were off the table as they might sour the deal and make the Republicans look bad.

Although if you look through past articles, there were a number of contractual safeguards put in place to prevent Foxconn from making the bad deals they're know for pushing. So things weren't as bad as they could have been.

There are many drugs and drug patents that sit on shelves because they're only useful in third world countries but not in first world countries. If first world countries don't have that problem then there's nobody to subsidize the third world.

So you think, for example, a medicine to help third world countries isn't worth it if it can't be monetized? I think maybe you're looking too much from a first world perspective.

This proves the point. If you can sell it and make a profit then you've found a way to make it profitable. If you couldn't you'd just sit on it even if there were a huge secondary benefit to society that couldn't be monetized.
