The city is expected to police all crime regardless. The car manufacturer might (or might not) have some duty to the customer in this area, but certainly not the city for contributing to a crime increase. You might as well say that a compan

I wasn't claiming that they're literally ponzi schemes. Clearly they're sanctioned by law, obviously I wasn't arguing otherwise. I was simply using "ponzi scheme" in the more casual, euphemistic sense of "

It's a Ponzi scheme when it's not sustainable. Social Security in the US, for example is not financially viable in its current form. Either the retirement age will need to be raised or its obligations will need to be abandoned, pr

> dogpiling a single person based on their gender identity Now that's the real dishonest euphemism. You don't seem to actually know what was discussed on the site. The material form that discussion on KF took was always tied to

Bullying is the realm of children, or maybe adults in a workplace scenario. Certainly not an argument to raise when being criticized for one's public behavior. That's wholly inappropriate and seeing people weaponize it to censor t

There's no reason to believe Near is dead. Near's friend is the only source for the claim and the Japanese government's death listing for US citizens for the alleged time period shows no listing for Near. > Free speech out

Who, Elizabeth Waite? She never had a Kiwi Farms thread. She was briefly mentioned in a megathread about silly public trans behavior. Elizabeth was bemoaning the general concept of transphobia in society, not actually blaming Kiwi Farms dir

In the world at large (not just a schoolroom or workplace situation), everyone is subject to being criticized for their public behavior. That's not bullying. That's holding them to task. Think people like Onision. The documentary

> The harassment, which is the critical context behind the decision, is literally thousands of pages. By definition, you cannot harass someone by talking about them.

I think the enforcement is way more imbalanced than you realize. Here's an example, how about instead of "X should die", it's "lol, can all X just die?". They give it a little jocular spin with the "Lol&qu

I've started businesses. When I start a business, it's mine (and my partner's). Like a car or a house or a website. I'm trying to do something specific with it, with plans that I've drawn up. It's not just to m

The only thing the democracy index gets right are the broad strokes. But then again, so could a high schooler with wikipedia and a free afternoon. It's not implemented well enough to detect the fine differences between western countrie

by turkeysandwich 8y ago
Western democracies with hate speech laws are less democratic because the range of legally permissible opinions is smaller. If mere functioning is your goal for the country, then certainly countries without strong free speech protections ca

They took samples after/during seizures.

Possibly, but I feel behavior is probably the biggest tell for dogs. Their owner starts acting funny right before a seizure comes on.

by turkeysandwich 8y ago
Yeah... that website is a scam. Seizure alert dogs have not been established to be effective yet. A claim of "100% reliable" is guaranteed to be woo.

by turkeysandwich 8y ago
This study doesn't establish that an odor precedes a seizure. They took the samples from someone who was in the middle of a seizure or shortly afterwards.

I think there were thirteen total members. Two abstained, one member was the person in question, and then we have 6 against removing, and 4 in favor. And after this vote failed to remove the person, four members resigned.
