Which simply isn’t true. He actually said outright:

If you use the state as a metric for ethics you'll end up disappointed.

Now, you may think that’s garbage, but you’re not free to pretend that he said completely different things he didn’t actually say. Remember how you hate inaccuracy? Do you think that what you were doing before was accurate? How about playing semantic games now with the word “state,” is that accurate?

It isn’t, it’s evasive. So, what are you evading?

Following that through, you clearly hate being backed into a corner, and don’t mind engaging in “innacuracy” when it suits you.

Yes, you’re being dishonest.

If you use the state as a metric for ethics you'll end up disappointed.

He spelled it out in the post you’re aggressively misinterpreting and it’s decidedly not the fiction you’re peddling. So are you really losing track of what’s been said, in which case it’s time to step back, or are you being dishonest? You don’t seem like you’re losing track, so...

However it’s also true that of the small number of mentally ill people who on to harm others, people with paranoid ideation are one of the two groups who are more likely to be violent. The other group are people who are psychotic, and may harm people under the instructions of “voices” or in extreme cases, just not have any idea what they’re doing.

Again however, those “likely” groups are still seriously unlikely to be violent against anyone other than themselves, in general.

Good luck YouTube staff, hang in there.

I’d prefer crippling fines.

Still an explosion!

It’s a nasty and unfair thing to assume that when someone gets a burger, they’re “overdoing it” every time. Plenty of people have an occasional burger and just want beef, not filler. For people living in food deserts, and people poorly educated or just poor, how about giving their kids healthy and edible school food? How about heavily subsidizing healthier foods for people on food assistance, and going out of our way to make those options readily available? How about bringing back Home Ec?

You remember posting that, right?

Israel does have a drone assassination program - that's where the US got the idea for theirs. The US Hunter and Pioneer UAV systems are direct derivatives of Israeli models, etc.

Citations for that?

Lose the apartheid nonsense too, you’re insulting the Israelis, and the South Africans who suffered under the real deal.

A friend of mine recently came to me with an article that a “chemical found in silly putty” was found in fry oil. They were horrified, but I pointed out that it’s known to be inert. They were still horrified. I pointed out that to get a mg of the stuff, you’d have to eat half a kilogram of fry oil (not a kg of fries, but oil). If you’re packing in half s kilo of grease, it’s not the mg of additive you should be worried about!
