I don't care if his voluntary embassy stay was "similar to a Nordic prison" because he was not made to stand trial and face justice for his crimes. Justice isn't "well I did a bad thing and locked myself in a comfy

1. His self-imposed sequester was not in prison and had NOTHING to do with justice or serving time. He willingly chose his location and is allowed to leave it at any moment. Can you say that of any prisoner? He had free access to internet a

You sound like the kind of person who thinks that a spoonful of sugar and a multivitamin is functionally identical to a fruit and that is sad because the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly against your reductive approach to food. No, the

This is actually pretty bad disinformation considering the overwhelming scientific evidence indicating that eating fruit is great for your diet. A major point is that most fruit isn't sweet enough to dramatically sweeten a product. Mos

I used to use Draw.io a lot more than I do now, and it is a wonderful tool, the only reason I use it less now is because I've been using: PlantUML ( http://plantuml.com/ ) with demo at ( http://planttext.com ).

On the flip side, we use Google G Suite so the majority of our documents are stored with Google, and draw.io's cloud support seamlessly works with our G Suite drives. Our G Suite administrators have plenty of control over the G Suite G

Yes it is. You can pedantically argue the American legal systems definition of stealing means that you have to charge thieves using different laws depending on what was stolen, but this is an unintellectual argument hiding behind legalese t

The entitlement people feel to steal is always surprising. Especially on this board. I understand a lot of reddit is younger and irresponsible so piracy-as-the-norm is a popular trope, but among the engineers whose livelihoods depend on sub

Spain, Belgium, Switzerland and Norway have some form of a wealth tax, and it can bring them between 0.5 to 3+% of total revenue. If America could raise 1% of its revenue from wealth taxes, that would be a yearly revenue of ~$31.8B. For ref

>The difference is in the awareness of the "fraud". A religious teacher truly believes in the existence of god, therefore they're not a fraud. So as long as the psychic actually believes they are psychic, it's 100% no

by criley2 7y ago
Are you suggesting that no psychic believes what they say, or that no priest questions what they say? I would strongly push back on both of those assertions, myself.

I don't agree. Magic works on a lot more people than you're willing to admit, and a lot less people truly believe in psychics than you think. I also notice you didn't touch professional wrestling, another case where while man

This is a classic example of whataboutism. 1. Governments using trolls is different than campaigns hiring people to discuss politics. Campaigns get volunteers all the time to affect public discourse by going door to door, sending mailers, a
