I'm sure I'm not the only one who would appreciate hearing more about that game :)

I wonder what the actual prevalence of this sentiment among deaf people is. I would expect it to be exceedingly low. I'm not deaf, but I'm legally blind and autistic. Interestingly, I've never once heard of someone take this

And of course, even with social media, there is still a large bias issue - not just with who is sharing, but also what; most people don't share everything about their lives on social media.

This assumes that written data from a particular time period actually reflects what it was like in that time period, and isn't highly biased to select for, say, particular socioeconomic classes.

Being against things like TFA does not mean one is against things like banning indoor smoking. Just like being for alcohol doesn't mean one wants to legalize drunk driving. > No, it's because being around a smoker is deeply unp

Perhaps. The viability of that aside, I would rather attempt to create that world with things like education rather than the government mandating it. That tends not to work out as intended.

> I think the broader picture here is a simple one: drinking alcohol is more societally acceptable than smoking. A government is going to be reflective of its voters, “necessary” or not, a law to ban drinking would be enormously unpopula

I'm not saying there's no difference. I just don't that difference is as pronounced as some people think, and I don't think it excuses the apparent double standard. Brief Googling also suggests that second-hand smoke aff

It doesn't? That should be good news for victims of drunk driving, and the families of abusive drunks.

From the government's perspective, this may (or may not) be silly. But putting that aside, if a citizen supports banning cigarettes for people born after a certain date, but not alcohol, that certainly seems hypocritical to me.

Is this worth reporting/sharing here? There are likely countless instances of this, no?

This argument would be a lot more convincing if you linked to issues or something.

It seems infinitely more likely to me that this is simple coincidence than something nefarious.

Don't many public libraries have other things other than printed books, including music?

Not everyone in the world is subject to the same laws. To say nothing of what all that means when those laws are unjust and themselves serve to trample on individuals' rights.

Maybe because I'm not so arrogant as to imply everyone has to have the same views and act the same way as me, nor to imply that my view is the only right one. But nah, you're right. Nobody has to pay. Everybody should pirate. Now,

Profit-seeking? That seems like a stretch. Also how do you know they have any "massive deals"? Do they publish details about the money they receive?

It can be so frustrating to read these takes about stuff like DS or Autism - and so tempting to just respond in anger. I'm glad you took a step back too. You might consider posting that all as a top-level comment. It's very import

No, I don't really see the slippery slope. If there were such a slope, I would imagine that decades into this piracy thing, we'd be sliding down it. Yet most people don't pirate. Strange?

I wonder if life elsewhere in the universe is pedantic too.
