It's a good point, but this isn't new info. Every RPG rulebook I've ever read has a preface or afterword where they say something to the effect of "These rules aren't set in stone,…

trying to get the timing right to hit the beakers was hard and not fun.

There are already hotels for the homeless which provide cramped and spartan accommodations. They're called "homeless shelters", and generally speaking they don't solve any of the p…

Oh yes, we must defend the UK from the savage barbarian nations which border on every side, just waiting for a false move so they can stage a full-on invasion!

lol i thought about explaining your folly, but then i remembered that i hate financial people. so i'm content to await the inevitable fate of your l33t financial "secure messaging …

What would you do if it was like this forever?

If you tweet to your enemy "I'm gonna use my orbital laser to incinerate you from space, so that you're wiped clean off the map!" Your enemy will not be actually, literally scared.…

The riots occurred after the cops murdered an unarmed black man. But why even try to argue about the causality? The fact is people are alienated from society, and consequently give…

Being a cop is legitimately dangerous Not really, no. It's just not that dangerous. We imagine it must be dangerous, and so do cops themselves. But you're a lot more likely to be k…

"privacy must be better and stronger than what institutions like NSA can intrude. And this, I fear, will be an ongoing war. Cryptography cannot solve the issue for obvious reasons"…

Violence simulations are easier to /fake/ than social simulations because few of us have routine experience with violence in our daily lives. We have little to compare the simulati…

You do not have a moral or legal right to not be around poor people. The public areas near your home are not yours, and it's not reasonable for you to expect control over who is an…

You are implying that homelessness is a calculated choice, and that if it becomes unpleasant enough, an individual will decide to stop being homeless. This is absurd because it fai…

"Why would people do this? What did us Big Data geeks do to deserve this? Don't they know we're building a better world?" You guys have no idea, do you? You're just literally obliv…
