I think the sentence is best read as "a wild animal could not reach the city without crossing a road that is not considered part of vancouver proper". Seems clear that that's the intended meaning

Not OP but a city block isn't an entire city. If you read their comment again without prejudice you may be able to understand what they meant, even if it does require a little imagination.

It's a serious trip, yes. More (by far) than most people would recommend someone do recreationally for their first time - it appears that high doses accompanied by a therapist are what has shown the most promise across various explorat

Some non western countries have student/junior freelance developer populations comprised almost entirely of people using mobile devices for development. I imagine this will be a god send for them

Is it really the case in the UK that working in a position for 2 years is a requirement before it becomes illegal to fire a person for going home sick once? What a sorry state of affairs.

I can only speak for myself but given the choice I would never read an ebook on a digital screen over an e-ink screen. The difference to me is night and day. I have an older paperwhite and the backlight is truly wonderful, I imagine a newer

If you substitute those quoted words into the sentence I was responding to my meaning becomes less dramatic: > The driver took over way before the car entered the crosswalk section. + > "Entered the crosswalk section" is a r

I think it's the devil in the details here. "Was aborted by the driver" is the key thing, nobody is arguing this error was so bad it could have killed civilians even if the driver was responsible.

Read the comment and substitute in my words. I didn't imply what you're saying I implied

"Entered the crosswalk section" is a rather euphemistic way of describing "drove directly through where the people were going to be"

I see what you mean, but the first appears to be a PHP bug (unless I am misreading?). The second, appears to be a tool for parsing a json blob which has been escaped and encoded as a simple string inside another json blob. That's certa

In case the developer sees it, on Firefox I'm not getting my key presses picked up approximately half the time when typing naturally for me. Which is probably faster than the average human but not fast for someone that is good at typin

I think you hand wave away the responsibility born by the Governments who regulate, control, and subsidise the arms trade. Of course it is the fault of the user of the weapons as well - but UK and USA (to just name a couple more egregious e

I think it means avoiding prescription of addictive substances rather than helping addicts. Unless I'm reading your comment wrong?

In my experience browsing HN almost daily, over the last year it has become something of an echo chamber for "anti woke" lines of thinking. I've seen little to no healthy discussion on the topic - by which I mean productive d

If by "shouldn't matter" you mean something like "it's ridiculous to define what a woman is as having a capability that literally all women lose around middle age" then I'd have to count myself amongst tho

That logic would also state that we should no longer call a man a man if he becomes infertile through choice (or otherwise), no? > Messing about with mechanisms that are crucial to our survival should at least not be done lightly. I disa

2. Is definitely the counter argument I would use - if people have preferred pronouns then what is the ethical argument for ignoring those and using words that would cause them harm? If nothing else it seems to me to come down to basic dece

by maybeOneDay 5y ago
Your argument is somewhat tangential - are you arguing women are defined by their ability to give birth? Seems fairly obvious that doesn't hold up even when we aren't talking about trans people

by maybeOneDay 5y ago
It's possible to be against the idea of trans women competing in female competitive sports without intentionally misgendering all trans athletes/humans.

"In technical usage" means that this level of nitpicking isn't really accurate. When you say "they ran doom on a lamp" that isn't a piece of scientific literature. It's just conversational English and as s

Could you clarify what you mean by identity please?

I can see that argument for some of them, but if anyone said the slitty eyed or spear throwing comments to me and then tried to pass it off as "it's just british humour mate" I'd laugh in their face.

What would you characterize as a benefit? Medical, certainly. Recreationally, certainly (it feels good). Socially, I imagine so for some people and some doses. Here's a reddit famous account from someone claiming to be an opiate addict

Black market incentivises dealers doing things like mixing fentanyl into heroin in order to make it vastly more profitable (fentanyl is cheap and incredibly potent), with the side effect of increasing its deadliness massively. Users often m

This is what rocket league uses. While it can be unpleasant as a high ranked player to jump in a lobby with your much less skilled friend, overall the matchmaking system and equality of matches is in my opinion utterly fantastic

I accept your premise and the fact that matchmaking is hard but: > You could, for example, play 100 matches where you were given the closest opponent but at a disadvantage for every single match. not really, you'd derank aggressivel
