Those things should really be illegal too, I think, even as someone who enjoys alcohol. The costs to society due to alcohol and the like are massive for essentially no real benefit. Yes, I know what happened during prohibition. That still d

For example: most small, plastic toys should not exist, regardless of how many people might want them. They’re essentially mass-manufactured pollution that harms the global environment. Sure, you can find positive effects of them, but I arg

The solution to the plague of ads is to just stop buying so much shit. Most the stuff we buy shouldn’t even exist in the first place.

The gambling industry itself is a net drain on society. What is the societal benefit provided by it?

That’s an absurd stance to take in the absence of any supporting evidence. A boiler exploding is not surprising.

It doesn’t work because that’s just wrong. The semantic meaning of “king” is much more than simply “royalty” and “male”. And it will be different for different people based on their experiences and familiarity with English and world histo

This information has been widely available for around a decade, if not longer, and is nothing new. It's been shared all over the internet by myself and countless people for years and years and years. I've even seen it show up on l

The very first sentence of the article: > Fire services attended the offices of Grand Theft Auto 6 developer Rockstar North this morning and secured "structural damage" following a reported boiler explosion.

Honing a blade still "moves" the blade close to what you want: a blade that cuts well. It's not correct enough to have spawned the original phrase, but it's not completely absurd, like saying, "should of" inste

I never accepted it, I stopped buying from Amazon because of this specific issue long ago. Unfortunately I am not an Attorney General, so I can't bring criminal charges.

Ok, so if he still makes a profit, so what? There are numerous other advantages to a happy and well-compensated workforce, even completely ignoring the societal benefits beyond just the company.

That could be outlawed as well as it probably wouldn’t be too difficult to show that person wasn’t actually making any of the decisions. Not that I expect any of this will ever happen.

I will concede, proactively, that "up to" could refer to some maximum possible bound, even if the current set doesn't include a value at that bound, though I would argue that's likely deceptive wording. For example, you

Yes, I would expect compensation to increase proportionally with accountability. What makes no sense is compensation that increases irrespective of accountability. Being the CEO of a company that handles risky, sensitive things should be ri

But this is not “absolutely everything”. No one is saying CEOs should be accountable for every action of an individual employee. So if not the CEO, who is accountable when something like this breach happens? The CTO? The PM The DBA? Nobody?

Saying “up to” means that bound is the maximum value of the data set. It may be far from the median value, but it is included (or you’re lying). With any other interpretation the phrase has no meaning whatsoever.

Isn’t this more or less a case of “illegal numbers”?

Right has nothing to do with it. It’s about power and responsibility. It would be irresponsible to release parrot into an environment that is not its natural habitat.

> I am not a parrot expert. Then why are you giving advice on parrots?

> And other animals die too all of the time That’s exactly their point, the parrots are no different. The majority will die, which is what they said.

I agree, though remarkably it’s an eggcorn that is still sort of correct on its own.

To be fair, there is a logic behind “hone in on” that is at least plausible that relates to the intended meaning, and is perhaps somewhat responsible for it sticking around besides simply the similarity between “home” and “hone”.

I’ve been to churches before (accompanying a friend), but it’s very difficult to take any of it seriously. Sure I can be pleasant and respectful, but it’s hard to get much out of it knowing what you now know about them.

Sounds good, but I would have a hard time pretending to take it seriously. I wouldn’t want to lie to them.

If curl is used by hackers in illegal activity, culpability falls on the hackers, not the maintainers of curl. If I ask the maintainers of curl to hack something and they do it, then they are culpable (and possibly me as well). Using Photos
