Lets outlaw all people from owning guns unless they pass multiple exams and jump through a ton of hoops. Ban all firearms other than handguns. No more than one handgun per household/person.
Note how Europe has very little gun ownership, and very little gun crime. Correlation does, in this case, equal causation.
I was on a large cruise ship that was hit by hurricane force winds outside of Ft. Lauderdale 2 years ago. The ship listed at 12 degrees; they tip at 40. Everyone was sent back to their room and told to put their life jackets on.
Now, Granny Mae and grandpa Earl, who may or may not be rubes, did not get on this giant boat thinking that this would happen. They aren't "prepared to escape" in the middle of the fucking Atlantic, other than by getting into the lifeboats that are there for them. They are there for vacation, because Grandpa Earl works on his ranch/farm year round and wants a little time away from things in the Caribbean. So for you to say something like " if someone puts themselves in a dangerous situation from which they are not prepared to escape should it go all pear-shaped, they deserve to die" shows how much of a rube you in fact are.
Because, you buffoon, cruise ships are not just about cruising, but about the PORTS OF CALL. You get to get off the boat in Puerto Rico/Jamaica/St Kitts/Aruba/Bahamas/St Thomas/Curaco/Turks and Caicos and see some of the most amazing beaches the world has to offer. yes, some schmucks decide do do nothing but shop, but other people take in as much culture as they can in the short time they have there. Try scuba diving in the Turks and Caicos islands trench in a mall. How does that work out for you?
They aren't treated as galley slaves. I've known many people who work in the cruising industry; they work hard, for certain, but many of them are from third world countries, and the amount they make is huge compared to what they would make back home. They have long hours, to be sure, but they also get free food and many of them are able to enjoy the ports of call like all the other passengers.
Remember, they signed up for it, and many do it over and over again willingly. That isn't slavery.
It's necessary for the internet to grow and evolve. As soon as they start putting ads on Instagram, on devices that don't have much real estate to begin with, people will start flocking to new and upcoming apps or websites that do something similar, but slightly different, and with no ads. Then eventually a lagre company will buy said app, once the user base trends huge, and they will try to figure out how to monetize the new app.
This is how the internet works.
So let's go back 5 years to when the app store was just getting started. A man developed a program called iFart, which made farting noises. it made 80,000$ in two weeks, which at the time was huge for a new app. The content of said app, while not sexist, would certainly be inappropriate for a tech convention if you were only going on content.
Would anyone in their right mind say that presenting the iFart app at a tech conference, one of the early successes of the app store, would be inappropriate in reality or unprofessional?
The problem with this is that when you are dealing with content like the one the app presents, it's impossible to talk about it or even adequately sell the product because it will make some people feel uncomfortable. One could easily argue that to do a professional job selling or describing a product with the content described, the only way to do it "professionally" is to use perverse humor, because after all, that is what the product does. Am I the only one here who thinks that they in fact may have been acting professionally?
I note that you did not reply in any significant way to the claims he made. He made some very pertinent points about what is believed to be modern sexism, and you addressed none of them.
Read the article: “They crash all day long,” said the owner of Brooklyn Hobbies, who gave his name only as Richie. The reasons, he said, generally fall into three categories: The remote sends bad signals, the person does not build the model well, or the pilots — “that’s what they call them, pilots” — try to do a maneuver above their skill level.
So it's possible he was trying to do a maneuver...it's also possible the equipment malfunctioned.
No, it's not a false dichotomy.
And I'm continually impressed by the inability of people to distinguish between bombing targets that happen to have civilians in them in order to primarily kill military people, and bombing targets that have civilians in them in order to primarily kill civilians. That's exactly why they used Sarin; it kills (or injures ) EVERYBODY in an area. It makes no distinction between civilians and combatants.
Perhaps you should.
I don't know if this is true. Some life contains compounds made up of elements that don't exist in other forms of life. Tungsten, for example. Quoth wikipedia:
"Tungsten, at atomic number 74, is the heaviest element known to be biologically functional, with the next heaviest being iodine (Z = 53). It is used by some bacteria, but not in eukaryotes. For example, enzymes called oxidoreductases use tungsten similarly to molybdenum by using it in a tungsten-pterin complex with molybdopterin (molybdopterin, despite its name, does not contain molybdenum, but may complex with either molybdenum or tungsten in use by living organisms). "
The you don't learn very much at all, as a Mercurial day lasts as long as 58 days, 15 hours. Although because the orbit of Mercury is very eccentric, it reaches a point in its orbit when the speed of its orbital velocity matches its angular rotational velocity. When this happens, the Sun will appear to go backwards in the sky before it resumes its regular direction. This means there are days when you would learn nothing at all.
Having been born and raised in the south, I have no problems with people who make fun of the south's bassackwardsness. Never in my life have I met so many people opposed to progressive ideas, such as gun control, abortion rights, gay rights, and affirmative action. Whether you agree with those things or not, the south has been at the forefront of opposing those things. I have no problem in general with people who make fun of "the south" for opposing those things.

Virtually anyone can easily buy guns here. it's insane.
Isn't it too late? Who plays this anymore?
Also, why didn't they do any testing with groups to determine if this was needed or even wanted?
No, my name is Jeremy Streich. You are lying.
Provide your basic research when making a point.

Finland does not have it all. Finland does not have any native armadillos. You lie. Troll.

You are aware that iFart made 80,000$ in its first two weeks? Were the marketing geniuses who made that app unprofessional? Are they unemployable?

But you don't know this, which is why you are a sociopath. The equipment could have malfunctioned. You are aware this was a possibility, right?

I do. I do give a fuck about people who nerve gas to kill civilians in large amounts. If you don't, you are a sociopath.
This is very important. We truly do not want any rogue exoplanets heading towards us.
or poor spelling.
Has it occurred to you that this may be the case because we have more criminals per capita than those countries? Anarchist!

This doesn't really answer the question. Why would any Egyptian deity be insulted by or take offence at a frog?
