The trick is to include both the big word and then the explanation of said word into the essay.

It's used often because it's easy to prove, just like tax evasion.

I'm talking about the rule against doxxing in general and why it is necessary. You are are picking a specific person and arguing that the rule shouldn't apply in this case. But that's not how rules like this work and you are taking a shallo

And that theoretical harassment will pale in comparison to what results when someone tied to something controversial is outed on reddit. It's not really comparable.

Do you also think that it's ok to have sex with a girl who's drunk and passed out as long as you clean up afterwards? You say that like it's a bad thing.

But so does 'trying to take photos of a women's secondary sexual organs without her knowledge or consent' (creepshots). Does it? If the person in question never visited the sub-reddit in question, would they even know the photo existed?

So you have to look at what sort of speech they protect (sexual photos of children, sexual photos of people without their consent) and what sort of speech they don't protect ("outing" people who take photos of people without their consent)

Interrogate the assertion that those photos are "creepy and wrong". Why are they creepy and wrong? I think you'll find the answer to your question in there. Or you could just answer my question.

That's a slippery-slope argument, and it's ridiculous in this case. Reddit isn't being pressured to ban any and all offensive content; they're being pressured specifically about sexually-suggestive photographs of underage girls, created wi

You'd think maybe posting photos of minors without their consent might also have been a rule to prevent long-standing issues. But, no? What is the long-standing issue that you would be preventing though? It's creepy and wrong to be sure,

I find the rules to be fairly clear. 1) You can't ban content just because it offends someone, there wouldn't be much content left, if any. Is religion distasteful? Violent images of war? Gay marriage? And it's not like a user is forced int

I don't remember it ever being common to have to buy hardware from a specific vendor in order to read the news, a magazine or a book.

That's definitely a major concern. Super's in EVE definitely had a lasting and IMO detrimental impact on the landscape of the game. But that's a different issue entirely

Stupid system, stupid idea, stupid to introduce it. Why reward tiny segments of active players for living unhealthily in your game? Don't underestimate the importance of lofty goals in an MMO, even if the vast majority of players will nev

I used that, then I ran into the bug that was causing building to fail, with an error that gave no indication it was the plugin that was the cause. I haven't touched it since, but it was fun for a while. I definitely wouldn't use it for any

I think people will take this way too far. They'll turn on the autopilot and take a nap while blasting through a school zone or something. If the car can't handle those situations, then it's not going to be a very useful intelligent car.

Their games have been the epitome of everything that's wrong in software development. They are one of the few development studios capable of making large open-world games that are fun to play, and they make it fairly easy for PC gamers to

While I don't dislike my Kindle Fire, Amazon trying to fork their own version of Android was a huge failure on their part. I know the easiest way to get to me to ignore the Fire 2 is to slap in another old, custom version of Android in ther

Depends I guess. If you have more bandwidth on the legal side of your company for work than your development side, then a lawsuit might make sense. It wouldn't surprise me if this was the case with Craigslist.

One of the things you can do with BitTorrent clients is to have the client look for new torrents in specific locations (new episodes of a show for instance). The client with download the show to whatever location you specified, which could
