I don't think that would happen. Plenty of people are already willing to pull the trigger, especially if people are pulling the trigger at them, or they think people are going to pull a trigger at them. More nuanced training and prepar

I don't know if there is an absolute right or absolute wrong, an absolute better or an absolute worse for the effects and side effects of a substance or technique on the mind. Caffeine and alcohol have horrible side effects on my mind,

I am going to be slightly rude, but only because I have done exactly the same thing. Stop trying to cram n years of experience into a blog post seeking some form of social validation. You are guaranteed to contradict yourself more than half

I think it's possible to have preferences without resorting to ad hominem. Sometimes it seems that just having a preference is enough to associate you with the assholes. The truth is, every group of every thing has assholes, or groups

Is it because of what the items are, specifically? Can you add an attribute to every potential item detection that includes a proportionality measure to something standardized? Wouldn't this be a "simple" (that is, definable)

I don't think we will ever be at a point in our existence, where we know what to do before we have to do it. > It's also a task of every engineer to consider what could go wrong. Within a reasonably defined threshold. If I have

In theory, I absolutely agree with you. In practice, every choice as to how to care and organize society become a question of what to control and what not to control. Who can be trusted, and who can't trusted. Then it just seems to go

That's the ability to intelligently critique and analyze art right there. You don't see that often!

I do not consider them any different than normal people. It's not an opinion created out of jealousy, anti-interest, or anything remotely connected to the status they are given by pop-culture. I don't know if it is part of my phil

A large percentage of the people there are there on a court order. Rape victims are potentially in the same groups as convicted rapists and murderers. These are not happy places for finding and maintaining well-being; they are chaotic hellh

These issues are sociologically complex and they are being addressed as if all mental health issues can be treated on an individual level. There should be regulation that prevents rate of expansion into new 'fuzzily defined' targe

I guess the difference is, I wonder if you label a person an idol before they are influential, or after they become influential. Is there some progression of 'idolness gain', or is it a constant attribute? I don't believe in

I personally seek new, ridiculous, absurd, positive things to learn that no one has written about. Sometimes I feel like I get a touch of it, the more careful and in control I am with writing code. Life is fun when it's positive and un
