What if it was violent, bigoted, or suicidal? Passwords are secret but they aren't necessarily private. If you wouldn't want to verbally verify it with your administrator you probably shouldn't use it.

Those people would accurately be called plant-based dieters. The point being that people getting vegan license plates are not allergy sufferers.

Shooting a bear that's charging at you isn't non-vegan, and by the same token, pest control isn't necessarily non-vegan either. This is the de facto definition of veganism: > Veganism is a way of living which seeks to excl

Veganism is not a dietary preference, it's a system of ethics. If there had been vanity plates in the 1910s there probably would have been some that said 5UFFR4G3, too. Veganism extends to all modes of consumption, not just food--for e

Always fun to spot the "what is X" -> two minute window -> "okay, <strongly-held contrarian opinion about X>" comment pattern.

I don't see how anyone is going to grow from being exposed to your misogynistic tweets. Getting banned is better than nothing, even if 10 years too late.

Animals are not captured from the wild and brought to farms. They're produced on farms in highly industrialized breeding operations. The alternative to a farm animal living in captivity is not for the animal to live in the wild, it&#x2

A Beyond Burger is not the opposite of a hamburger. They are the same category of product, much like turkey sausages and pork sausages. I think you need to reevaluate your worldview if you think it's a more sound business model to try

I'm not sure what parallels you're trying to suggest but they're probably not valid ones. 'Meat' being used strictly in reference to animal flesh is a relatively recent development. It's shorthand, in fact, so

Sweetmeat and coconut meat are both not animal muscle, while fish, which is animal muscle, is not meat. Distinctions like 'meat' and 'milk' (and pretty much any culinary term) take on meaning according to our conventions

Do you think all the people taking these photographs just go home to the suburbs at night? This is a difference in worldview, not life experience.

The "data anonymization" defense is a pet peeve of mine and it's truly meaningless in this case. Stripping out explicitly identifying information from the data doesn't provide much privacy when the rest of the data poten

Unless you're saying I could be arrested for standing on the street and yelling "cow" a single time, I don't think you agree with yourself.

Yes, you do, that's how English works. If I insult you I don't get to say "well, it was a quote" after, I already insulted you.

I did know. That was an "um, come again?" not a "can you repeat that?" Your comment literally reads as "they used to tolerate refusing service to (slur)s." Not only was it totally inexplicable to use the slur i

If a human male and a neanderthal female mated and produced female offspring, who then also reproduced, etc., how could you later tell that it was a human female and a neanderthal male? As far as I can understand, all we can speculate about

I'm criticizing your understanding of comparative zoology and evolutionary physiology, not your diet. I would actually love it if you tried to criticize my diet because I have some bloodwork, double-blind studies, and WHO guidelines I

As flawed as appeals to nature already are, these aren't even particularly good ones. Your incisors are laughably small and dull compared to those of a literal mouse and you have fewer of them than a cow does. Fruit bats and gorillas b

It might be "easier and faster" to send an email than to, for instance, upload to a dedicated snippet manager, but literally everything after than that is slower and more difficult.

It depends on your definition of success but 70% accuracy for classification problems with 50/50 odds is at least useful. In this case, "guessing the more common one" would not be a problem as the data were evenly split betwe

This tool is based on a brief [1] which is basically an update of a study [2] they released in 2011. Neither goes into much detail on methodology but the original study at least has an appendix identifying the immigrant founder(s). [1] htt
