It is disingenuous to conflate a trigger "safety" with a classic manual safety. One requires unlocking as a separate action from pulling the trigger, and has it's own state independent of the trigger. I doubt the original com

Many guns are manufactured and sold without safeties. Personal responsibility transcends industry.

Truth is genderless. Historic gender imbalance in scientific work is only political if you have an axe to grind.

I don't know what is worse; the abandonment or the enabling by the therapist. Shitty people all around. And the entire article comes off as selfish, this guy didn't deserve the forgiveness he longed for.

I'd just like to be clear, I'm not advocating for segregation, I just think that the current quota based forced desegregation isn't quite working. Perhaps that is because, as you allude to, there are other fronts to work on.

I even quoted it...and I'm speaking toward a trend across the U.S. Even where I went to school, after Katrina, our peaceful hallways were suddenly breaking out in racial brawls between Hispanic and African American children. How was th

I find that it is a non committal means of getting to know a person through humor. At least within the context of dating. It is an excuse to share random, humorous nonsense about your life that would be out of place in text, and does not re

Similar things have happened. Two independent neural nets "spontaneously" developed their own communication protocol in an experiment. I'll see if I can find a link.

Personally I feel it is optimized for constant dopamine and advertisement, at the cost of content density. Previously, I could navigate to a subreddit, relatively quickly glance at whether anything was new, without being distracted by autol

So they took a simple wheel and added a couple hundred parts, increasing cost, maintnence complexity, failure potential, and weight. Is it worth it?

I bet they could have planet d the CP to gain access to his hardware, without which they would have had no legally obtained evidence of his crime. Apparently he was running some sort of server, but I haven't read past that.

I would argue that the wealth gap is symptomatic of a degeneration of culture and education in this country. I am in my late 20s, and even when I was graduating it was apparent that most students in my cohort simply were not leaving school

I think search has worsened for the layman, but improved for the average, non technical user. My theory is that the ML powering search functionality is, predictably, learning to match the largest body of data, at the coat of niche and/

I imagine you're more likely to be raped by a spouse than to end up in a coercive cult. But I don't have data. You are aware that nonmonogamous and nontraditional sexual relationships exist outside of cults, right? Your perception

Yeah, because "coercive bullshit" doesn't exist in sexually conservative societies...

They may as well be instituting explicit quotas at this point, if these allegations are true. At least then it would be clear, and possibly even less controversial. We have x slots for race A, y slots for B, etc. Racism is alive and well. O

How much risk do you expect police to take on? This man threatened them with lethal force, in the face of drawn weapons. Even if they were to attempt to subdue, they would be risking severe bodily harm. At some point I believe a human being

I have trouble imagining that people would use such a service. I think the point of intrusive, unsolicited salesmanship is to convince people to look into products that they would otherwise ignore. People go to home depot to buy hardware, n
