So why are you commenting here?

Sorry, but that's not an answer to my question. To be honest, I'm starting to feel like you're not really talking to me, you're just responding to me. If you're asking for evidence of people changing their minds,

If you aren't interested in changing minds, why do you comment in forum threads at all?

So, are you admitting there's no moral justification here? It's just 'do-it-because-you-want-to'?

I don't understand, could you rephrase your answer to his question? I read his question and read your response, but don't see a connection between the two.

Yeah, obviously we wouldn't try to do that. Our laws, cultures, and priorities are wildly different. By this lens, the main problem seems to be that the eu expanded too much and grew too large to actually have a coherent purpose.

How would you detect broken video decoding or font rendering? I don't know what those are. I don't think i've had any issues this year (Maybe i had do do some pacman-wrangling once this year, but i'm slow to update, so t

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, the fundamentals of government are unchanged. So if people are

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 <whatever> 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? Something else? And then you say 'to set an example&#

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 landmines, what does that have to do with the job? I a

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? Or more basically, what if the system wro

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 by the most informed. Surely you don't argue

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 illegal because we want to protect people from the

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?

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 cake controversy case, so society doe

Why does it change whether it's discrimination or not depending on who does it? I don't see how the distinction is material.
24.
by marky1991 6mo ago
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 to sell to straight couples, would that be the same? If

Are you literally defending corruption? Why?

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 worked like that, it's for toys and disposable softw

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?
