Alcoholism? Not sure on the voices.

Faraday bags make great stocking stuffers.

Makes sense now.

If it makes you feel better, a random scrabble solver website listed it as valid. Didn't cite the source but ah well.

I don't get this one... Did the spelling of weeping change?

I'm pretty sure he'd skip weeping and go straight for the whip and upending of tables.

When you opt out of the social contract, you don't get the benefits anymore. Piss is too generous.

Yes.

Fuck your red herring. They should've been punished too. Continue to go fuck yourself.

Really? Even though he blatantly defied the constitution and attacked a foreign state out of nowhere without approval? That isn't enough, he also needs to be stupid and easily manipulated (which he obviously is based on the mountains of evidence) before you want to hold him accountable?

Go fuck yourself.

You cannot directly compare two populations without accounting for differences in size. Doing otherwise is very bad data science. That's why it's per 100,000 and thus takes size out of the equation. Which is good. That's a confounding factor that is trivial to deal with. Given my previous observation that many US states have populations directly comparable to other countries, the "comparing states with countries" complaint goes from vaguely plausible to inane immediately.

Thank you for defining how averages work?

Because US states have populations and areas comparable to other countries. Just the US topping the charts is expected. How many states you have to get through to see other countries is interesting.

How is a per-capita incarceration rate, with a reference to the superset included directly on the plot, misleading? Other than including more than El Salvador for the sake of external reference, which is almost certainly a size issue.

It's kinda like that saying: if you owe your friend $100, they have power over you. If you owe your friend $10,000, you have power over them.

Yup. I switched to linux on my home computer and now the more time I spend with it, the more I pity my work computer for the cancer it has to deal with.

I watched it with a guy on my floor in college. First time for both of us. He was told before that that was the ending so we were both tearing up and he thought it was about to roll credits.

Not a parent.

Of course it will help in that case. It's literally what it's there for. Also, the age where you can get away with leashing your kids is also the age where they aren't forming a ton of memories or where they have no social context to be embarrassed. They may be embarrassed when they're older, but that's just life.

Stop inflicting your feelings into random children.

I am willing to not be angry anymore. I'll be civil if I see you in public. But I am not willing to have a relationship anymore because while I hold no ill will, I also am unwilling to risk it happening again.

...Where do you normally pee that's, if not peaceful, at least alone?!

I was you. I installed Mint and the only issue I had was with a hard drive that was being shared by both systems (dual booting) that had all my games on it. It was a symlink issue.

Bite the bullet. The startup time alone is worth it.

Rights and freedoms are not unlimited. Freedom of speech ends at things that put people in danger (e.g. shouting fire in a crowded space). Guns are available pursuant to a well regulated militia (or should be, but let's not open that can of worms).

I'll grant the proactive/reactive in a sort of way. If anyone (not only old people drink the fox news poison) starts up with some hyper racist shit, is restricting them not reactive to their emergent behavior? Would it be that big a stretch to codify the effects of propaganda as a sort of mental injury that needs treated? (Yes it would). Point is, at this point we're splitting this hair rather fine and getting away from the important bits.

So the real way to handle the propaganda is to punish fox and their ilk for being wildly irresponsible and setting up racist fascist bullshit. Corporations are much easier to regulate than individuals (theoretically). They should be sued into the ground for all they've done, but we live in an oligarchy so that's not happening anytime soon. This shower thought emerges because free market capitalism refuses to have any morals whatsoever and people are desperate to stop the big companies from hurting everyone. And the thing that's easiest for everyone to see is the people they love start repeating horrible things and being helpless to pull them out of the echo chamber.

No, the shower thought isn't good. It shouldn't get that far. But right now, the only thing we can affect is the people next to us because the rich are never held accountable, so we're stuck with bad and worse solutions.
