I'm looking for two things: clarification of his sentence structure, and more detailed documentation on the birth defects he's talking about - exposure values, developmental windows during exposure, type of defects, as much data as he can cite.
I have a wife who is seven months pregnant and a 3D printer that mostly runs ABS. You do the math about why I'm digging for detailed info.
"The problem is that too many people live in the suburbs. More people should live in cities."
This is a subjective statement of opinion, not fact. YOU FEEL that more people should live in cities.
"Instead of making cities nicer and going towards efficiency, we went towards suburban sprawl."
It is a display of massive hubris that the only explanation you can grok for this is that there's something broken about cities that can be fixed to make them magically appeal to everybody. You appear incapable of grasping the evidence that for the last 70 years, much of America has wanted - at MOST - to live a casual drive away from a city but not in one.
Americans have clearly shown across multiple generations that they do not want to live in concrete bee hives that are loud, smelly, cramped, contentious, dirty, and a hair's breadth from logistical collapse the moment anything slightly unbalances that complex system. Americans want their own roof and walls. They want their own yard. They want their own garage as a space for their hobbies and pursuits, even if there isn't necessarily car in it. They want their own space and their own castle, and they fundamentally reject this relentless push - the same kind of push YOU are engaging in even if you can't realize it, much less admit it - to herd them by guilt and honeyed words into asphalt jungles where they are neatly organized and controlled "for the common good".
You, whether you can cogitate it or not, simply want orderly worker bees. Either you find individual freedom scary, or you have bought into the yarns told by radical urbanists who have ulterior motives for concentrating people in controlled environment, but either way you are fundamentally at odds with what American society desires and has clearly desired for nearly four generations, and all the buzzwords of efficiency and social responsibility that you sling around show how desperately out of touch you are.
But they're wielding the Department of Transportation and urban zoning as blunt weapons to do it, and being serious assholes about the whole thing.
They're also failing to realize that by running off people who want or need to drive into the city, they're going to end up choking off commerce. But the limp-wristed hipsters running the place now either don't care or would see it as some kind of redistributive, disruptive accomplishment, so I kind of just want to watch the entire shebang come crashing down in flames to see the expression on their faces.
Considering the next lyrics in that song after "Karma Police" are......"Arrest this man".
I *totally* feel safer and more free already, and I don't even live under that regime.
Not that they couldn't just make one phone call across the pond and have whatever they want done to me in the dead of night with no trace. Yay freedom.
But until very recently I've been able to mostly trust film footage, especially vintage film reels. I don't think my grandchildren will ever share that.
A couple decades from now, we're going to have generations that have never known an era when it was technically or logistically difficult to convincingly revise AND distribute photos and videos.
Beyond simply telling that stuff has been tampered with or invented wholesale, I'm really worried this is going to lead to a loss of credibility and gravitas of photos and videos of historic events.
It's going to get ugly when generations start denying and rewriting history because they lost trust and belief in the credibility of the medium used to preserve its records.
Here's another one: is the person releasing this info criminally liable for felony murder or wrongful death if any deaths are a direct result? Suicide, homicide, you name it... somebody is carrying a big legal liability flag over this, regardless of the social ethics.
There are people who seriously can't see the Bad Idea Fairy sitting on that thing from a long ways away?
The only reason I "trust" a Roomba is because it's relatively incapable of causing damage or injury. Putting a big, sharp spinning blade on it and essentially creating a BattleBots competitor with no cage is the point at which I start shooting at the goddamn thing.
200 feet up is a LONG way for most bird loads in a shotgun, even straight up with no extra slant distance. I can't think of any goose loads that would carry enough energy to drop a metal and plastic drone at that distance. They struggle to take down a soft-skinned animal at 150 feet.
Threaten people with total legal impunity and they tend to not want to get eaten alive.
Next you'll tell me that making it a condition of employment that workers live in a company dormitory, buy food from the company store with company scrip, and sign hideous non-compete contracts, all reduces cost for corporations.
I have heard more than one defense attorney who has gone up against federal prosecutions admit they recommended suicide to their clients as a preferable alternative to the nightmare of being hounded, persecuted, slowly destroyed, and turned into a pariah by the federal monster.

"Also, non-liquid-resin 3D printing will cause birth defects in pregnant women."
What specifically are you referring to here, ABS / PLA filament (FDM) printers and printed parts, or cured photopolymer resin parts?
Also, citation?

...that Jezebel got lumped in with Buzzfeed and Upworthy as clickbait.
The screams of privilege and oppression must be about to boil over down there.
...or, we could be a free people and demonize them both, equally, for attempting to control us.
It's not propaganda if it's an objectively accurate depiction of events. Then it's simply uncomfortably truthful.

Oh, I've never completely trusted historians.

Challenge yes.
Wield weaponized bureaucracy against, no. Modern-day federal prosecution is indistinguishable in conduct and likely result from a witch hunt.
If a person did this to another person they'd be in jail.
I hold corporations to the same legal standards of behavior in those regards.
Lies, damn lies, and statistics.
We appear to have checked off all three boxes with this article.
Good question.
Here's another one: is the person releasing this info criminally liable for felony murder or wrongful death if any deaths are a direct result? Suicide, homicide, you name it... somebody is carrying a big legal liability flag over this, regardless of the social ethics.

I'm saving for a '44 Willys. You know... an actual ACTUAL GP.
Considered, but the 4.0L inline 6 is way more durable than the diesels that came in that model.
For true EMP scenarios, I have a Siberian Husky dogsled team.
...which basically consists of "drive a '92 Jeep where the only major electronics in the car are my cell phone".
It doesn't even have power windows.
Hack that wirelessly, bitches.
"Fed asks us for our records, we say we don't have any, fed goes away"
Normally the response is "Fed finds some way to screw with you until you cry uncle, end up in Club Fed, or both".
Federal prosecutors don't enjoy a conviction rate higher than the Spanish Inquisition because they're reasonable.

There's this image... you may have seen it...
It's a visual map with practically every nation in the world highlighted, and it says "countries that use the metric system".
Then the inverse is shown, where the USA is highlighted and it says "countries that have landed on the moon".
No?
Then they should probably leave it unencrypted. They wouldn't want to be TOO blatant with their hypocrisy.
How about deterrence by lead poisoning?
Fuck thieves, jail is too good for them. Bullet to the back of the head and be done with it.

I'm not even slightly joking.
"is there an end in sight to the madness associated with the representation of this religious figure?"
Yes.
But you won't like the answer and it's not politically correct. Ergo, our current political establishment refuses to even admit its existence.
