  • Even if that had been what that commenter meant, being willing to die (at someone else's hand) for something you believe in is not even remotely the same as suicidal ideation.

  • I'd bet it actually simplifies as least as many things as it breaks. Basically all computers already keep track of time as a count of seconds since a UTC epoch anyway, and then do timezone conversions on top of that.

  • This is not it. What an abhorrent and sadistic take.

    Here's a handy tip for the future: if you find yourself writing a sentence that goes "I really hope [...] poor people [...] suffer greatly", maybe reconsider posting it.

  • Huh? In what world is it ableist to advocate for/promote the use of a real accessibility feature over a workaround that doesn't work on all platforms on which people might be seeing this content??

  • Trolley

  • I think it's correct as-is. Inserting a "were" would make that clause read as independent. With how the sentence is currently structured, that doesn't work.

    That's not to say you couldn't have

    The tracks are now unruley [sic] and wild—the people once tied to them were killed in crosswalks by giant trucks

    if you want, but the comma needs to change to something like a dash or a semicolon. With a comma (i.e., as a subordinate clause), "were" doesn't make sense.

  • The object doesn't absorb their mass, but rather their energy (which admittedly can be equated to a mass via a factor of c^2, but that's not actually what's happening). The change in momentum that results from a photon hitting you isn't caused by a change in m, it comes from a change in v. If mass were the quantity being transferred, solar sails wouldn't work to move anything; they would just sit there and get more massive as photons hit them.

  • Yes, because now you've added the critical qualifier "who have ever been on the ballot". Without that, it doesn't hold.

    No black woman has ever won the election or lost the election, because the set of black women who have ever been on the ballot before is empty.

  • Not really, since in most (all?) U.S. presidential elections to date there has not been a black woman on the ballot. I think there's an important semantic difference between losing and not winning. The equal but opposite statement to the OP would be that a black woman has never won the election, which is true.
