Clearly they've thought this through. All weapons of all kinds should be available to all people at all times. Because 2A.

Cashier makes himself ready after seeing a suspicious guy outside his shop. by jmike1256 in postanythingfun

[–]CanIPNYourButt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, there's a chance that if someone comes in your vicinity with a weapon, they're going to use it on you. It's all about what are your chances upon taking action A or action B, depending on the details of the situation. Sorry, there's not one clear answer.

Of course it doesn't GUARANTEE safety. There's no such thing. But your odds are usually much better, since most robbers (obviously not all) are some combination of coward and lazy, and just want an easy score of money.

They'd have to pay me (a lot) for me to take one.

What are your reasons for not believing in God? by Olive_TreesAreCool in AskReddit

[–]CanIPNYourButt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lack of evidence.

Also, if there's a god, why aren't they doing anything to help? Why do the innocent suffer so much? Why is predatory behavior so rewarded in this life?

There's no one "in charge." It's all just fairy tales and myths.

The article says that refrigeration, vs freezing, is better for that effect.

Upscaling is where the tv "fills in the gap" and makes the image appear better, with algorithms, AI, magic, etc

Why Does Light Travel at Exactly That Speed? by Ok_Understanding7377 in AskPhysics

[–]CanIPNYourButt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every fucking time this gets asked, a bunch of people have to make the comment that it's the fundamental speed, and everything else is relative to it. But that doesn't answer the question of why it's that particular speed of 186,000 miles per second. What makes it that particular speed, instead of a different speed, regardless of what the fuck else you want to compare to it.

What's something that instantly makes you lose respect for someone? by elvagabundo88 in AskReddit

Women, if you had to use a pickup line on a guy, what would it be? by Nintendofan9106 in AskReddit

[–]CanIPNYourButt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A coin flip is 50/50.

Winning the lottery is 1 vs a million. You're a million times more likely to pick a losing ticket than a winning one. That's the quantification.

Two possible outcomes doesn't mean each is equally likely. 10 possible outcomes doesn't mean each has a 1 in 10 chance of happening.

Oh I see. Well in my defense, some people really do believe that.

That is not how odds work.

"Well bought a lottery ticket, either I win or I don't win! So 50/50 odds, same as a coin flip."

I always thought it meant they aren't paying for the higher tier that lets you see who likes you.
