How do you define a TERF without calling them a TERF (and distinguishing them from other Radical Feminists or mainstream 4th wave feminists)? If we can't call a spade a spade, what shall we call it?

Just to be clear: We're saying it's admirable to kill yourself rather than face the consequences of your illegal behavior? That's what we're respecting in this thread? The man was believed to have committed a litany of o

My first point was less of a "200K/year" and more of a "whatever the market dictates the value of their skills would be" vs "a tiered set scale". Basically, do you think that Bama should be able to drop 2

How, and how much, do you personally feel student athletes should be compensated? Should anyone actually care that West Nowhere State can't afford to compete against Alabama in football or KSU in basketball, since they never could have

I was commenting on the causal relationship. The fact that vigilante social pressure is easier today is technically true, but not really addressing my point about the fact that people wanted (and did) do this. Your example is a guess. I pr

The point is: In a society in which we have violent factions opposing one another on an single basic idea, what sins are truly and permanently unforgivable by a society? We would all seem to agreed that a legal framework is more valuable th

I mean, "angry mobs" have always existed as you said yourself. They didn't seep into "adult spaces", they've always been there. We don't need to blame Twitter, the Internet as a whole, anonymous communicat

Hi: What? Who is proposing we eliminate the chain of custody for ballots? Who's actually called for that. Who has said "no observation of ballot counting" as opposed to "everyone who feels like it can come in and wander

"Dead people voting is a problem" That's not voting. That's absolute fraud. There's no nuance or gray area. There's no "some dead people should be allowed to vote but others shouldn't" use case.

It's what the holiday has been called for 150+ years, and a bunch of (likely) white politicians deciding to rename something the black community created seems antithetical to the idea of the holiday. Reflect on why you dislike this hol

Yea, just not the ones we should want to support. Accepting that there are bad actors and actively supporting them are 2 different activities.

Do you personally feel that it would be valuable to have the high authority/rote people in place to execute and low authority/creative thinkers in place to plan?

What kind of artist are you? As a painter, I can tell you there's use in having textures to reference while you draw things yourself. It's more like buying an image off getty to get the watermark off but not paying the extra 20 do

I know plenty of people, myself included, who consider most of what you described as a blessing. Not having to have "how are the kids?" conversations and instead being able to play a video game or watch a TV show during some down

Serve notice of what? This didn't seem to be mentioned in the article. Also, is that a thing police in India do? Here in the US, if documents need to be physically served, it's usually done by a single representative of the court,

How much of the economy would you estimate works on the "write a novel, sell it passively on a website you created/host/etc. yourself" model? Is this common in your mind or a very narrow example to make a point online?

Actually in several states they're still usable. Some as supporting evidence, others requiring double consent, and some just as evidence. Their time has not completely passed sadly. Never mind that the government itself still uses them

I don't understand your thesis. Only Americans care about race? Only Americans homogenize outside cultures? I mean you just rolled a country large enough to encompass 30 different European countries, where over 300 different languages
