Yea I mean why have police at all? Just let the market sort out all out. If people keep getting shot, we’ll eventually the neighborhood will empty out and no more shootings!

I’m male. My vocabulary for couch material are: leather and fabric. That’s about it.

You can’t. But you can ban apps that don’t comply to these laws. Similarly to how China band google and Facebook for not complying with their laws.

I’d rather have a generally applicable law in place. If we think massive data collection shouldn’t be allowed then ban that.

I think the problem is the distribution. SOME government employees (at least in Canada) are seen as being paid too much because the pay is clustered really closely together and often don’t reflect market pay. You get software engineers that

Having a big enemy to fight is good for those in power. Always has been, probably always will be.

I think we're in agreement, and I wasn't being clear enough as well. I do mean the N set. This is what I mean by the "should" being fuzzy. Unfortunately some of the R set ("some" is also fuzzy, I don't kno

Interesting. In this take, what are the limits to freedom? Your right to swing your fist and all that. If your actions are limiting what I can do, is that not curtailing my freedoms? Edit: to be clear on where I stand. I think you can do wh

There are going to be gray areas. Some individuals should not or cannot get the vaccine. What qualifies for that exactly is a bit muddy as well. So I agree what is "should" isn't very clear. As an individual, it's really

How about we do this. For people that can and “should be” vaccinated but don’t by choice due to their own risk assessment, if they catch Covid and need hospital treatment they don’t get it. That way they have their freedom and hospital capa

Freedoms aren’t considered in isolation. Maintaining freedom for some means removing freedom for others some times. In this case the “freedom” to get timely treatment for those that need it.

In general I agree, where possible and where it makes sense getting others involved early is a good thing. Somethings are more solo work however, at least for a while to get things oriented. Some times it takes time to gather enough context

Possibly in an ideal environment. But expecting the same someone to work with me for an entire week to either debug or design usually hasn't been realistic. Keep talking with different people, or the same person on and off has a huge c

For larger pieces of work, some times it takes me more than a day to just figure out what's where and where I can even get started. I guess I can still give updates daily, but it'll just be "still investigating". Hell, I

AMZN is down 10+% over the last year so not sure about that one.

I’m kind of similar. I have many more female friends than male friends. I just get alone better with them for the most part. I’ve always been in long term relationships so it’s not a romantic thing. My males friends, even though fewer in nu

Firstly, that's their job. It's not like a surprise for them to be dealing with criminals, mentally disturbed individuals etc. Secondly, that's not justification to use excessive, some times lethal force unnecessarily. Nor is

Seems like a bunch of people throwing a tamper tantrum to me. "I can't get away with all the shit that I used to get away with, so I'm going to throw a fit".

I hear this all the time, but I've actually never left a manager. I've liked all of my managers. It's usually either some external force like a compelling opportunity or something with the org that is beyond my manager's

Just because you normally leave a bowl of candy by your front door to let whoever wants to take a piece, doesn’t mean you can then poison the candy.

Maybe the fantasy world of the Witcher is less racially divided than our world (and also seemingly how you see the world too). Why does it need to be that the nilfgaardians have to be one skin color? Why can’t they be multicultural like the

Do you know if unitarian universalists have some sort of equivalent to church or church gatherings?

Seems like you're overloading the word religious to mean an idea that someone holds either very strongly, has a philosophical component or believes on faith (e.g. insufficient evidence or not thoroughly examined). All of this could be

I don't really understand, seems like there is a very easy answer. In the case of belief I would've thought that's obvious. I can be afraid of zombies without believing zombies exist. I don't think anyone denies the exis

That’s true of course and maybe is just an artifact of imprecise language. Of course I can’t hate a physical thing that I don’t think exists, but I can hate the concept of it. When people say “God hating atheist” I assume they mean an athei

by yibg 5y ago
“God hating atheists” don’t hate the actual God, it doesn’t exist. The hate is directed toward the concept of god, which is definitely real.

A bit of slight tangent. I’m an atheist, but sometimes I envy the communities religious groups build (e.g. church). One big advantage I’ve seen is some of my Christian friends can move cities and almost instantly have a community via the lo
