In my experience, this is actually fairer than real life because a lot of guys tend to go easier on women face to face.
If the discussion only started because a female made a statement instead of a male, that would be sexist, however that is inferring a whole damn lot that can't be proven.
That they actually admit it... somewhat. Although it seems lately that you don't get prosecuted and punished for your wrongdoing the moment more than a hundred people know your name.
So perhaps people have so gotten used to other being shitty, that you don't even need to fear repercussions for owning up to your deeds anymore. Our apathy is just too strong.
I fail to see where I implied knowing him at all. In fact I didn't. I am not aware of ever having heard of him or consumed any of his work. From the article I assume that I would have, but again, no awareness of WHAT was his contribution at all.
Which is all good and well and I do agree with you.
The first two years after my twins were born, I was more than once glad that I don't have ammunition at home. I didn't ever think it would have been an actual danger but when thoughts like "Ya know, you jump off a bridge and all this crap is behind you" occur daily or even several times in a day, you just don't need to have to use the willpower to fight off added temptation, no matter how minor.
That being said, I like guns. Collecting them, shooting them, cleaning them and working on them gives me pleasure. Something I can't say about a lot if not most aspects of adult life.
If you're going to take them away from me after I have proven resilient enough to handle the responsibility in an ongoing and long-standing crisis situation under a lot of mental stress, you better have both a DAMNED good reason and a replacement for that hobby.
If you're going to take something from a law abiding citizen, you better make it worth their while or no matter how much legalese you throw at me, I consider you a thief. And if you use the threat of police force, I consider you a robber.
Doesn't mean I will take up arms against you. After all, the hobby isn't worth a human life. It will just piss me the fucking hell off and that's exactly how people like Trump get voted in...
You seem to be of the impression that killing a human being (or any animal) for the first time was somehow easy.
Have you ever had a near-hit? Or an actual accident? There is such a thing called shock.
Circumstances make me believe that this was premeditated, however planning to do something and even really wanting to do it is something entirely different than standing before the result.
Frankly I'm not sure what the big problem with colonoscopies is... I've had one without anesthetics and while it was by no means pleasant I must say my ulcerative colitis has provided me with more painful experiences on the crapper.
Can't comment on the variety from the other end. Haven't had that pleasure yet.
So let me get this straight, you want to attract a metallic object the size of a pill or, oh let's say, a bullet with a strong magnet... a thing that has the tendency to rapidly accelerate a magnetic object... inside human intestines.
I have ulcerative colitis so I imagine I know what I'm talking about when I say the man has enough problems as it is...
I think there are much worse examples. One of them would be people leaving a 1 star review because shipping was bad. I have yet to figure out in what way that is the fault of the product.
Why would it object to monster trucks? I don't object to felling a tree and making a log cabin out of it, despite the thing being a carbon based lifeform.
Why would a self-aware silicon based electronic device object to people driving hunks of metal with wheels but no brain that are powered by an ICE over and into each other?
It's a rather big assumption to imagine that the AI sees its body as whatever machine it's built into (Transformer style) rather then the electronics themselves.
Too bad that it seems like the level of the opportunity, no matter how equal, is getting lower and lower in some cases every year... I mean everybody starting out starving and naked is still equal opportunity, after all.
I watched the first episode of Max Headroom a year or so ago.
I laughed at a scene where they hacked a company, and I shit you not, by connecting to water pipes somehow and then jumping from a urinal in a men's room to a security camera, again not defecating anywhere near or on your person, located there.
The tragedy is that we're at the point where such things seem to be shifted from the realm of uneducated entertainment to reality.

I disagree partly. Third-wave feminism is cancer and sexist.
However, I will uphold my opinion that first-wave feminism was long overdue.

Dying at 84 in your sleep seems like an absolute win in my book. Now one can only hope that his life was a happy one.

That typo amuses me way more than it should ;).
Not I.
Then again, I am current on my memes amd internet slang ;).

If I was the trolling type, I'd say that's still an achievement seeing how low the average sets the bar. Limbo isn't easy, you know!
But I'm not so I wont.
Uh... oops? ;)
Seriously, though, there are a lot of ways to be shitty. You gotta start betterment somewhere.
I think there are much worse examples. One of them would be people leaving a 1 star review because shipping was bad. I have yet to figure out in what way that is the fault of the product.
Only that they're not a minority but who cares about little details like facts, logic and sanity, eh?
Root the thing and put a custom ROM on it. There usually is someone who will package a vanilla ROM or one with just a few optimizations.
At this point, you're out of warranty anyway, right?
Lie to us more. Annoy us with marketing babble nobody believes anymore. Let the bullshit spiral soar ever higher!
The sooner we reach the breaking point, the sooner the counter-movement begins.
When you trust a porn site more to keep their word than all tech giants...

Or "Computertechnik"... but naaaahh... that doesn't fit the magazine's topic at all.
There are options of protecting oneself that do not involve those chemicals.
Model Y crossover? Isn't the X a crossover already?
Too bad that it seems like the level of the opportunity, no matter how equal, is getting lower and lower in some cases every year... I mean everybody starting out starving and naked is still equal opportunity, after all.
Imagine if everyone was an entrepreneur... There would be about 8 billion companies with just one person in them.
