The solar eclipse pictures are absolutely beautiful.

That isn’t actually refuting his original argument. Just proving his example false.

Then you beg the question with a bit of a straw man fallacy thrown in.


> That isn’t actually refuting his original argument. Just proving his example false.

Correct. It is extremely false. And it's an extremely well documented event, as well.

> Then you beg the question with a bit of a straw man fallacy thrown in.

I expressed my opinion. I did not misrepresent that person's argument (i didn't represent it at all). As for begging the question, well, I'm not sure what you're referring to, unless you mean the intensely cut and dry sequence of historical events? In which case... well, they're so unaligned with reality that it's comical.


If you relate funding to arrests, more arrests will be made.

Perhaps shifting funding to relate to guilty verdicts could help?

At least then there is an objective 3rd party that has to agree with the charge.

Of course… the judges and the cops are paid by the same entity. And the judges and the cops know each other through their work.


The prosecution and the judges and the law enforcement and probation officers and law enforcement who protect the judge and the prison system and the jail system are in quite a cozy and self perpetuating cycle. Prosecutors in USA get such high conviction rates cause they ladder charges to encourage defendants to take plea deals, everyone in system profits. It’s so profitable most large local law enforcement agencies in USA have marketing departments.

More quilty verdicts would be made. Regardless of guilt


I. AM. THE LAW.

Dreddful.


28 important emails in 20 years? Would the information in those emails had gotten to you via a different vector if you did not have email? This sounds like a case for not having email.

lol. So many guys here taking about how girls are involved in gaming.

Me too! But from a different angle.

The vast majority of gaming focuses on zero-sum resolution. Someone loses or dies so someone else can continue or live.

In my experience as an American white male I have a feeling women would be drawn towards win-win resolutions, or even games that are not so focused on conflict. So taking COD and swapping the bad guys for aliens and the base for a “house” and nuclear secrets for “children” isn’t going to succeed. (And would also be super sexist.)

But really don’t listen to me. Ask a woman.


I can read a trashy romance novel on a bus. But if I crack open a skin mag, I am a weirdo.

So which is the lesser?

Actually… false comparison. They make skin mags featuring men too.

So let’s try this:

Woman reading a romance book. Vs a man reading a romance book.

One of those is “weird”.


I don't think either of those would typically be seen as weird? It's certainly less common, but I think the people most likely to find it weird would be those who would think women reading trashy romance novels is weird too.

Your comment has real "a man wears a schoolgirl outfit and a woman wears a schoolgirl outfit, but society doesn't like one - checkmate feminists" logic to it.

The idea you'd start with comparing porn to a book says enough about how honestly you're coming to this conversation and where your starting point was for what romance novels even are.


Maybe he should ride on the Artemis II mission?

Strapped to one of the boosters?

Knowing if an AI contributed is good data. The human is still responsible for the content of the PR.

While code is good or not, evaluating it is a bit of a subjective exercise. We like to think we are infallible code evaluating machines. But the truth is, we make mistakes. And we also shortcut. So knowing who made the commit, and if they used AI can help us evaluate the code more effectively.
