That's an intuition I share but I don't think we can fairly assume this. A higher universe might operate under different universal constants making th...
A ridiculous ahistorical statement. Women didn't get to choose and still often don't. And in the instances they do get to choose, they've been molded ...
Based on what? I still see Republicans defending him or arguing that prosecuting him could lead to violence, which in bait-speak is saying people shou...
Btw, I was interested in figuring out who kept breaking the ceasefire of the Minsk accords. I've searched for about an hour and I can't find it. You'd...
Your reply was a blanket denial of the conclusion of the research. Of course anyone normal would assume you had read it. So I have you the benefit of ...
Maybe next time just say you haven't read it, or better yet, don't reply as if you have, instead of this nonsense where you're now pretending it's my ...
The point of the research is that a lot of policies that seem economically effective, like tradeable carbon credits, are hated because people consider...
Did you look at the research I shared? Your reaction seems to indicate you haven't. A ban on combustion engines is an actual proposed climate policy i...
It's useless without dndbeyond.com but I assume you had that? We were positively surprised with the ease of setting it up, although I admit I do not s...
Not sure if this is true but your tax comment reminded me of this clip a friend shared: https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChfCepjP-sN/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y...
This is actually not true. A majority of people are fine with making sacrifices if they apply to everyone and you can't just buy your way out (rich bu...
Quiet or you'll startle the nerds. 5e D&D. A bit by necessity, because it's what all the players already knew and we're now playing online (everybody ...
Working on another story in between. Had a stomach flu. Life happening. Writing up adventures for D&D because I is nerd. :nerd: I'm afraid finishing t...
Worse for whom? In any case, two wrongs don't make a right. Just because other former Presidents were terrible too, isn't an argument not to do someth...

They're still going to have to agree if they want to pass laws but at least we'll have decent representation instead of power coopted by political par...
Very little, I'm sure. But when given a choice between a booksmart goody two shoes and someone with life experience, I will go with the latter. In fac...
Life experience beyond the gilded cage most politicians grow up in seems to me essential to even conceptualise what's going on in society. Truss still...
Pretty much. I'd trust a social worker with an actual drug history more to solve drug issues than someone that read it in a book. There's no replaceme...
There's millions of people who do drugs and never die. There's millions of people who don't drown when swimming. There's billions of people who don't ...
Personally, I'd be worried if a 36 year old woman couldn't dance like that, didn't drink and didn't do drugs. It would mean she has no idea about life...
You're not answering the question. Why is it unprofessional to dance?That you don't think she has a right to a private life (which I think is nonsense...
Not my problem you don't understand the harm principle. I'm not deciding anything, I'm explaining you're not applying the principle correctly and that...

you don't need to ask him to tone it down because those were reasonable replies in the umpteenth anti-natalism thread offered as one of the options fo...
Rhusdie's account is historically more accurate than what is now considered truth among Muslims. The prophet is dead, he can't be harmed. Respect for ...
https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/8/13/iran-lebanon-reaction-to-salman-rushdie-attack Interestingly, the "denouncements" in Iran focus on the detrim...
Didn't original muslims scholars (back in the 600s-700s) actually refer to them as inspired by Satan? Rhushdie's version sounds at least as historical...
Ending it with "predicated on violence and coercion" doesn't sound like seeing it both though but I'll take your word for it and think that you probab...
That's too much to write online, particularly at this time, but it's already interesting to me that what is obvious to me, isn't to you. At the same t...
They are unprecedented reactions to unprecedented actions by Trump. Hillary provided access to the entire email server and there was no issue surround...
No, it isn't. Depends on whether a given country recognises is as such. So it might have been law in Iran but it certainly wasn't in the US. Point me ...
Equivocating a fatwa with a rule of law is just plain wrong. A fatwa isn't law and in this case the rule was also intended to have retroactive effect,...
