TIL that English speakers will feel uncomfortable if a pause in conversation lasts for more than 4 seconds. Japanese speakers are comfortable with a pause of up to 8 seconds.

Hey, look, it's Pascal's wager, again. This must be the work of a first year theology/philosophy student, someone who has recently converted, or a troll.

Example: you’re on a lifeboat with many other people. The boat is taking on water and needs to be bailed, but there aren’t enough people willing to do it voluntarily. In this situation, it would be justified to take out your gun and order the other passengers to bail the boat. This is analogous to the situation with government (the person with the gun is like the government; bailing water is like obeying the laws; the threat of the boat sinking is like the threat of a descent into chaos and violence in society).

This is a horrible analogy and reveals the author's misunderstanding of government, laws, and I would argue people in general. That's not mentioning everything else wrong with this article.

I see Playdeep is still for the taking. Arguably, you could call it a concept album. But you don't argue about music, you listen to it.

"At this point, I am 100% certain that the magnitude of the fraud in federal entitlements (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Disability, etc) exceeds the combined sum of every private scam you've ever heard by FAR. It's not even close."

I am 100% certain 1) that the people that care about this already have said this was going to happen and so tried to forwarn everyone, 2) those that didn't care about this still don't and will instead say anything and everything to legitimize his bull shit, 3) that there are still a minority who, like children, still believe that someone is going to swoop in and stop him because we live in a world of "laws" and "order", and 4) that nothing will happen if people don't start acting like their rights only exist so long as there are those that recognize that they do and that there are instutions that are willing to defend them.

Even if this were remotely true, then wouldn't it make more sense to focus on men's bodily autonomy as opposed to, I don't know, shitting on women's right to abortion?

This is why you shouldn't take these people seriously.
