That makes me, a conservative, wonder what those other headlines are talking about and if those headlines are worthwhile or helpful. Because, regardless of what you are reading, th…

This feels debatable to me. I wouldn't at all be upset if someone pulled the emergency stop cord in that case. Getting hundreds of dollars robbed from you on the is a big deal.

I've never had that problem with my solar garmin watch.

What do you mean by 'removed from society'? Do you really mean you think someone should get a life sentence for stealing some cameras? Do you mean they should be executed? Somethin…

I read that but assumed that wasn't why they fired him. I don't understand, why would you fire someone for receiving some kind of medical treatment? Ignoring the obvious legal land…

I'm not trying to attack you but did you read the article? Because I read it and I don't know the answer to either question either.

How do you do t without backtracking?

I would not like this. This is the kind of change that made google search so annoying. (Eg what if I want to track the history of 'self-driving' vs 'auto pilot' in sales pitches? O…

So does 'mark' and 'Mark', that doesn't mean I correct everyone (or myself) every time they/I type my name without using a capital letter.

This sort of language policing is pointless.

But no one, including the government, is omniscient. This turns all agency into "exploitation", and the only logical conclusion is that all decisions for all people should be made …

Not all laws are are meant to protect people from themselves, most laws aren't. Murder isn't illegal because we want to protect people from the results of their actions, it's illeg…

This is mindless paternalism. Who gets to decide what is 'predatory' and why do those people have the right to make decisions in place of able-minded adults?

I don't get it , he's buying stuff at estate sales. That's literally what they're for. I didn't understand what part of his behavior you consider uncouth. As he already said, they'…

Yes, I think the argument that "discrimination is fine so long as it doesn't result in complete shutout of a vendor/customer" is reasonable. But that argument didn't fly for the ca…

Why does it change whether it's discrimination or not depending on who does it? I don't see how the distinction is material.

What is your justification for that? If an employer did the same thing, would you argue that's also not discriminatory? Or, to pick a notorious example, if a cake shop only agreed …

Are you literally defending corruption? Why?

How dare you speak for the rest of us.

Mobile platforms are entirely useless to me for exactly this reason, individual islands that don't interact to make anything more generally useful. I would never use any os that wo…

Whom is on its way out anyway; I don't think I ever use it at all and certainly never hear anyone else use it.

I have no idea why someone would get mad about getting a vacuum cleaner as a gift. It's boring, sure, but if you keep complaining about your old one, it seems pretty thoughtful.

Could you summarize this into an argument of your own?

That's not what he said or implied, he's merely responding to your argument 'Donating any amount of money to prevent people you don't know from marrying each other'. I think you mi…

It's basic tolerance, it's not that hard. You do your job and collect your paycheck at the end of the week, same as everyone else.
