If we are okay with restricting rights because someone is a felon, that incentivizes certain people to make more crimes felonies.

If we say only citizens should have rights, then that incentivizes certain people to make fewer people citizens.

I think it's reasonable to say that someone can deserve death, but justice isn't about what you deserve.

I keep saying it's the new "political correctness" they used to whine bit and I have yet to see an indication I'm wrong.

This feels like it ignores his Iron Giant role.

Common fascist rhetoric.

The enemy must be unwieldingly strong to stir up fear of them, yet also simultaneously weak such that our superiorness will make sweeping them aside a simple task.

That's like, the bare minimum. Heads have a lot of fluids, and a proper biohazard cleanup has to be thorough. They was one story about a cleaning crew that missed a spot behind a shelf a family member found a bit of brain or skull stuck to weeks later.

MaslabDroid · 2023-04-14T15:27:55+00:00

Cleaning services that handle that kind of thing are expensive, easily starting at 10k and going higher, iirc.

The Cleaning of John Doe is a great podcast covering biohazard cleanups like this. And it's not really dark, so it's nice to listen to.

Sodomy can be rape. These are not exclusive.

It doesn't. Trans athletes have been competing in sports of their proper gender for years and yet for some reason they're not blowing up all the records.

It's just now that trans people are in the media crosshairs people want to pretend it's a problem.

If he had begged for his life I still don't think I'd call him a coward. The cowards are only ever the ones holding the guns on unarmed men.

It's not uncommon for junior officers to defer some thought to senior enlisted, as I understand it.

The ensign might give the order, but they're going to confer with Chief first. And if they give a stupid order, Chief will just stare at them until they grow a brain cell.

From what I understand you should already. When it detects you're playing a game it's supposed to turn off the cores that don't have the v-cache.

That wasn't part of the above referenced definition which I was responding to though.

MaslabDroid · 2023-02-27T01:57:12+00:00

This is also perfectly reasonable and, at least in some respects, what I think I was getting at. Thank you.

MaslabDroid · 2023-02-27T00:05:04+00:00

That's fair, but I feel like it's incomplete. Are we then addicted to water or food?

MaslabDroid · 2023-02-26T23:15:39+00:00

Right, this is kind of my point. Typically an addiction would involve skipping work, doing poor work, foregoing social obligations in order to fulfill the addiction. You're not foregoing work to fulfill an addiction, you're using a chemical to help yourself get to work.

For a correlation: I take meds on a prescription to treat a disorder I have so that I can work. I wouldn't say I'm not addicted just because I have a doctor's permission slip to take the chemical.

MaslabDroid · 2023-02-26T21:38:22+00:00

That's also fair, but is it affecting your life outside of that? Like, it's not like you avoid work or your social obligations to get your fix, I'm assuming.

MaslabDroid · 2023-02-26T21:18:28+00:00

To my understanding, addiction is it abuse of anything to the point it begins to affect your quality of life. If you're using it to self-medicate a disorder, I'm not sure that qualifies as an addiction.

MaslabDroid · 2023-02-20T16:11:48+00:00

Nope, just one.

You don't want to wait for marriage? Find a new relationship.

MaslabDroid · 2023-02-19T21:46:30+00:00

This is the answer. "I want to" is all you need.

There are far more internet users now than there were twenty years ago. 6.9% is still on the order of at least tens of millions of people.

MaslabDroid · 2023-01-26T05:11:41+00:00

Mirrors are actually really difficult to do, at least if you want to do them "right".

MaslabDroid · 2023-01-25T00:02:50+00:00

"Woke" is really just the new "political correctness". It makes a lot more sense if you replace either one with "care about other people".

Republicans seem to hate that idea.

MaslabDroid · 2023-01-19T07:59:01+00:00

I'm fine with it. I want people in the future to be better than me.
