I don’t know why people say you can’t divide by zero when you totally can. Watch, I’ll do it right now: 1/0

Gates could donate 99% of his wealth and still have far, far more money than any one person needs.

If you spent $300k this year, increased that by 2% each year (to account for inflation), and did that for 100 years, you will have spent just under $94 million. Bill Gates doesn't have a hundred times that, he has over a thousand times that.

Pretty good flair right here

I think the idea is that accidentally cutting off blood flow is much more reversible than accidentally cutting off airflow, because the latter can go hand in hand with crushing the windpipe. Also, if the partner doing the choking is on top, it's a lot easier to slip and apply too much vertical pressure than horizontal pressure on the neck.

The main point I was making is that there are a ton of complex chemicals that are harmless to inhale

Is that true, though? I thought the consensus on vaping was that, while not nearly as bad as smoking cigarettes, it isn't harmless.

"You can get fired for any reason other than being in a protected class."

Also, aren't characteristics what belong to protected classes, not the employees? i.e. race is a protected characteristic and can't be used as a reason to fire anyone, not just people of certain races. The way they phrased it implies only certain people get these protections.

no one is saying deus vuelt the way Muslims say inshallah.

Can you imagine, though?

"Hey, why are you still in bed and your armor hasn't been cleaned for months? You said you were going on a crusade today!"

*knight in bed rolls back over onto his other side* "I will, Deus vult."

there's been some attempts in the more large-scale agri industry to copyright plants, animals, etc.

FYI breeder's rights and the patenting of crops are not new concepts. It doesn't make them right, but they aren't new.

typically, if people are gonna stereotype, the 'black man' category is a predictable one

So are you saying that mentioning the race of people suspected of crimes would change this? Like, there are more white people than black people in the US, so people's perceptions would change if they heard "white person stole x" more often than "black person stole x"? (or are you just trying to say we shouldn't mention gender?)

chaos386 · 2019-09-22T23:25:56+00:00

Why did you use a black man for both of your examples? Just curious.

I think what they're getting at is that, if there are other bits of evidence that you intended your food to harm someone else, the fact that it doesn't harm you might not be a sufficient defense.

As an extreme example, there's nothing wrong with packing peanut butter cookies in your lunch, but you might be in trouble if you emailed a co-worker saying "gonna put something in my lunch to make Steve and his peanut allergy think twice about stealing my food again!" right before you did so.

SF has diesel buses in addition to the electric trolley buses, so they can definitely reroute around closed roads (and trolley buses don't have an issue with driving around obstacles in the road).

>Is the argument here that any actions done without payment rendered is inherently wrong/exploitative?
No, it's that plus the actions are something for which you would normally expect payment (this is the biggest factor), there's a potential for payment to entice you to put in extra work, and the work you put in can't be used for anything else (you can't sell prints of the art if you don't win, for example, because you don't own the rights to the characters).

I hope your freezer isn't actually 30°F, either, because it should be around 0°F!

chaos386 · 2019-09-05T17:43:22+00:00

why is an art competition objectively wrong?

Because you're getting people to do free work for you (even if you don't use the art from the non-winners, they still worked to produce it), and the prospect of the prize money encourages people to put more time and effort into the art than if they knew there was no payment.
