Be the change you want to see in the world. Beautiful.

It's an all-day activity, in my opinion it's much more pleasant than binging.

Tipsy all day > Shitfaced at night

I have never thought in terms of this before but now that you explain it, why wouldn't they do exactly that when no one was held accountable after the 2008 financial crash, the big firms that fucked the market got bailed out, and the ones who had enough money when the dust settled could buy everything for cheap and increase their ownership?

I didn't know that the Night Lords worked at Activision but whatever works, I suppose.

That's just ridiculous, they wouldn't price it the same.

They'd price it at 99% of the cost of a human's salary so that they can convince their customers that they're saving money by firing their workers, then pocket the difference!

I think one argument would be that if you use "only" beforehand then the next linguistic object must (or at least should) be descriptive, meaning that if you only say "guys" then you're kind of infusing meaning into it, which defaults back to how the word has been used historically. If someone said "I only date cool guys" then I think it's more ambiguous.

That being said, I also think there is still quite a strong gendered connotation to guy/dude and the gender-neutral definition is pretty modern. The good thing is that language is defined by its usage, so if we decide to use it as a gender-neutral term then eventually that is what it will become.

You're not missing out, in my opinion it was not a good movie in any sense.

Add to that, that to the best of my knowledge, most child rapists are not pedophiles and most pedophiles are not child rapists.

The two being convoluted helps child rapists by letting them hide behind their sexual orientation ("he can't be a child predator, he has a wife and kids!") and hurts pedophiles by stigmatizing their condition so that they have a harder time getting help to control or remove their sexual urges.

If we really want to reduce the amount suffering for both adults and, most importantly, children then we have to be able to start having actual conversations about this.

...do you mean C++ or just C? Cause, sure, you can poke around with pointers and references in C++ but it can also be used just like any other OOP language, whereas in C it's absolutely necessary since it's not an OOP language.

It doesn't have to be true, it just has to convince his base and that's a low bar.

Well, that could make the popup unusable depending on screen size. I think the wording is pretty clear, the issue is just that there's no followup and not clear enough incentives to avoid skirting the rules at the moment.

Not "make it easy", it's "make it as easy", meaning it can't be easier to accept than to revoke, much clearer bar.
