    Sure. Literally, it did not.

    In context? Switch out some of the nouns and verbs, and you get:

    s/they/women/; #(men can get raped too) s/google glass/short skirts/; s/Glassholes/Sluts In Short Skirts/; #update pejorative s/punch/rape/; #update verb s/America/Saudi Arabia/; #helps my metaphor

    You get:

    Unless Saudi Women can make their short skirts less sexy, people are still going to want to rape Sluts In Short Skirts.

    Sure, literally that does not justify it because they don't use the word justified.

    But who are we kidding here? You insert a victim-blaming aspect into a situation that involves violence, but want to pretend that gives no justification to the perpetrator.

    You're not fooling me.

    It's good to see the same fallacies dragged out over and over again. Helps cement the fact that wrong people aren't wrong due to being misinformed, but because they choose to repeat the same mantras to themselves over and voer again. I think I understand why the world is so full of violence now.

    Oh look... Someone justifying assault by implying that the victim is an asshole. Meanwhile, people who justify assault are..... Not(?) assholes?

    Judging others for what they do with their own property is 1,000 times douchier, douchebag. If you want to control what's in the driveway, buy the driveway yourself.

    It means 2-3 year warranty instead of 5 year warranty.

    6TB isn't ready for the serious archives, who, by my own subjective definition, only purchases drives warranted for 5 years. It's still $160 or so for a 4TB like that.

    TL;DR: Once you go WD Black you never go back.

    But if your kids were black, they would be 21X more likely to be shot by police during an encounter when compared to whites, so it would be 21X more important for you to say it. Your anti-anti-racism makes you a racist even if you don't realize it.

    If you're already in bed and your bedroom doesn't have room for a nightstand, or only has 2 prong plugs, and you've undressed, and have doors closed for climate control, and must go into a cold room to get it -- pretty damn big difference. Huge. I don't even charge my tablet except at work.

    Declaring "nothing" doesn't make it so. Somehow, they decided that a new word with a new definition must be used. Breeding and genetic modification are not the same thing, as much as you want them to be in order to avoid your own silly cognitive dissonance.

    Yet, let's equivocate all forms of modification to mean the exact same thing, rather than accept complexity and think about the specific details.

    Flat tax is bullshit because money's value to an individual is logrithmic, not linear.

    Taking 50 percent from Bill Gates reduces his power almost by 0. Taking 50 percent from that single mother? Her kids are homeless. The same tax level is not simply the same for all people. Flat tax is an idea for the rich, by the rich, disguised as an idea for the people, by the people. Like *most* American politics.

  22. Re:Should we jump to conclusions? on Forest Service Wants To Require Permits For Photography · · Score: 2

    The slope *is* slippery, and it's not a fallacy. 100% of government laws to prevent commercial photography get applied against non-commercial photography. 100%. Go read the PhotographyIsNotACrime blog. You can find story after story, month after month, year after year, of people being arrested for "not being allowed to film" in an area. The fact of the matter is, the enforcers never read the fine print in these laws, and 100% of the time, they apply to you and me. Calling this fallacious because of a logical fallacy in a list of logical fallacies is actually the logically fallacy here. It's a bit counter-intuitive, but if you stop to realize the government itself is illogical, then you realize: All slippery slope arguments pertaining to encroaching government are actually true. If not all, 99%.
