It's interesting when people say "No. Just no." and then go on to explain. Wasn't the response supposed to be "just" a no?

Instead of having to visit several drug dealers, this will aggregate all my favorite drugs into one convenient place. Fantastic!

Wow, cool! Have any playable games been made with Castle? I loved spending some time with Delphi when I was learning to program. What’s the state of Pascal these days? Edit: I see they have a gallery of games some of which are published on

The nice thing is that you can emit pretty sloppy C and the C compiler will optimize it pretty well.

To steelman the author's argument and as someone who's debated about this a lot with myself, what's your perspective on the argument that goes like this: "helping those who protect us" would be fine if that's a

I don't really see the incongruity here; somebody doesn't like helping people kill people, while that is mandated in other countries. What's your point?

I'm not sure whether you're asking this question in good faith, but I think as with any moral spectrum, you draw the line where your best reflective judgment tells you to?

Isn't it the legislative branch that is captured, rather than the judicial? I don't see the courts failing to uphold the law (save for the supreme court which fails to uphold the Constitution, but that doesn't weigh on the ev

Ok, but the word pacifism means something specific. I agree with your statement about docility, I think many would call it "civility." Same thing that black people were accused of, being "uncivil," when they were rioting

Anecdotally I find this to be the case with team-based online gaming. For example, if you fail to secure your lane in a Moba because your support left you to fight against two of the enemy alone, people will blame you, when the blame should

If you believe that scripture is inconsistent then I can see why we diverge. Good talking to you!

This doesn't prove what you're using it to prove though. 1. Jesus didn't kill anyone. It's a long leap from driving people out of a temple, to killing someone and sealing their eternal fate, potentially consigning them t
