Death by a thousand paper cuts. No one cut is egregious enough to warrant an emergency, yet you still die.

You're misunderstanding the point of the study. It wasn't meant to determine "is a one time payment going to solve poverty", it was "does it improve anything" and the answer is no, it doesn't, and it actua

If someone's car is seized by the government, it doesn't cause the value of everyone else's cars to drop by 50%, and if it did, I think people would sue the the government.

I think a more appropriate example would be if the government did some work around the house and in the process damaged the house, thereby lowering the value. The thing being damaged is shareholder confidence, which I thought (but IANAL) ta

Couldn't other shareholders sue the government for tanking the stock and essentially "stealing" value from them?

>the court will take his assets to compensate. How do you seize billions of dollars of stock without affecting share prices?

There may be a sampling bias from okcupid, for both demographics, since iirc okcupid is more about dating than it is hookups.

I agree there are situations where nonlethal force is appropriate, and it sounds like you were in one of those situations. There are other situations where someone wants to and is trying to kill you, and pepper spray does not incapacitate t

I always assumed "dang" was a placeholder for a small team designed to appear as a single person. Is this not the case?

I've never seen anyone argue against this that wasn't essentially, "oh well, deal with it I guess." The police can't make it in time, and have no duty to protect you. Any other weapon that doesn't provide dista

>(in more than 300 cases) Yes, this shows the bias of the authors. They come to a conclusion that is only supported by undersampled data, yet their language is strongly biased towards that specific conclusion ("women never...")

There seems to be a mindset among a large number of people that if a person's behaviors fall into certain socially "protected" categories, that they should be able to do whatever they want, with no consequences, or if there a

I can show you hundreds of news stories of defensive gun use from the past 6 months, or you can be satisfied with a single study, which also claims: >women never use guns to protect themselves against sexual assault I don't know why

I'm not sure how that is related to my comment unless you are suggesting that I also hold those beliefs.

If you're deliberately engaging in risky behavior, you don't also get to blame the government for the consequences. The government is not there to facilitate every possible impulse people have at all times.

People in unarmed countries get stabbed/beaten/shot if their attacker is larger/stronger/younger than them. Here, older/weaker people have a chance to protect their lives. Firearms are frequently used defensively to

The largest demographic (hundreds of millions of people), which you seem to have left out, is law abiding citizens looking to protect themselves and their families.

If the government says "we're taking your house for %x percent of the value" then yes, it is. Is extremely disingenuous to suggest that a gun "buyback" is voluntary. You either do it or you're a felon.

It's not a buyback since the government never owned it. It's coerced confiscation.

As cool as it is, scheduled jobs (and jobs in general) should really be isolated from the rest of your system and from each other to limit the blast radius. Jobs are notorious for crashing and backing up, so you really don't want that

And certainly not before they submit their accounts to be vetted by a firearm licensing department.
