On the note of census units, the only reason we all know our zipcode is because we have to know it. If census units were used as frequently as zip’s I imagine they would quickly become more widely known as well.

If you’re spending the time applying and submitting something then you might as well spend the extra 30 minutes or so to do it right, no?

Yes I personally feel bad when children are murdered. You're right. How dare I push those feelings on others.

For statistics on abortions caused by rape, https://www.guttmacher.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/pubs/psr... Here, approximately 0.5% to 1% of abortions are because of rape and/or incest. Looks

Black men are also responsible for the majority of firearm murders ala gang violence, the total number of which make the number killed in school shootings look miniscule by comparison, but I don't see you calling them out. I bet you&#x

Okay my exact percentages are probably wrong, the point being the vast majority of abortions could be prevented by safe sex. Safe sex is absolutely universally possible. Free condoms are given out all over the place, and in places where the

So you focused on a fraction of a percent of abortion cases rather than the overwhelming majority that happen because the mother and/or father couldn't be bothered to have safe sex. I explicitly said in my comment lets talk about

It's incredible that when you disagree with someone, your assumption is that they lack life experience and have a naive worldview. Because surely if they were wiser, they'd agree with you, right? If you truly have a good respons

Would you like to add anything constructive to this discussion or just insult me since you disagree with my politics?

Or maybe they're just humane and don't believe in taking away an unborn humans opportunity at life?

We're not forcing anyone to have kids. 99% of would be abortions are preventable by just practicing safe sex. Yes I know there's the 1%, but let's talk about the overwhelming majority here. If you can't afford children,

What that map actually shows is that Texas has more liberal abortion laws than the majority of the world.

Losing black people doesn't mean Austin is "anti black". SF also lost minorities when the tech scene blew up. Texas doesn't even have state income tax. The state isn't and shouldn't be responsible for ensuring

Lol yes because preventing the murder of unborn children and being allowed to own guns are "wacky right wing laws".

How absurd. How is Texas anti-human for non-whites? For the poor? For women? The only thing that could be argued is "anti women" would be the abortion bill. But a lot of people don't view that as a woman's rights issue.

Right but you phrase it like some horrible thing when it's a net positive for the investors, the business owners/folders, and the broader economy. Just because "the rich get richer" doesn't mean it's inherently

Alternatively, the decreased risk may incentivize larger or more frequent investments and simultaneously draw in newer investors and make it easier for them to take the plunge. It does allow the rich to get richer if the company does well,

Your saying that this being a possibility means all proprietary software is immoral is like saying that since some businesses are pyramid schemes, all businesses are immoral. Spyware is immoral, I agree. That doesn't make all proprieta

That's fair for software that's a one time purchase. But most modern software is subscription based, and is more akin to renting an apartment where you're more restricted in what you can modify. Legally, I agree that we shoul

But it doesn't. The user isn't forced to cede that power to the developer(s). I don't know how you can possibly quantify it as "unjust".
