I don't think we should kill people for being bad at fractions and percentages.

- Replying to @TocharusI was at a restaurant and the owner overheard me identify a photo of a mountain as Mt Ararat. He came over and asked if I was Armenian. I said no but talked about the history of Armenia, how it was the first Christian country. He comped our meal and introduced me to his daughter.
- Replying to @i_zzzzzz and @autogynefilesGod, why not call yourself The Moral Relativist and call it a day? As an ethics issue it's simple. What did you swear to do? If it involved "in sickness and in health until death do us part" I'd say the answer is pretty clear.
- Replying to @onbeinganangelFor those who only know her from recent appearances, here's what Fran Drescher looked like in 1987:
- Replying to @Kneelku and @ImperiumFirstThis is a good test for when politics has made people delusional. Liberals said Candace Owens is ugly. Conservatives said Rachel Ziegler was ugly. Both are conventionally attractive women. Neither is my preference but they're both pretty. Anyone who can't admit that is lost.
- Replying to @SashaGusevPosts"She was even able to respond to questions on the fly. I was unable to see an earpiece or microphone but she probably just has bone conducting implants in her skull. The lengths cheaters will go to are astounding."
- Replying to @melanchorusMost people who dislike AI do so because they find it threatening in some way. I can understand that but not why some feel the need to reframe their self-interest as some sort of principles stand. Just admit it hurts your wallet or your self-esteem.
- The info they're getting is people’s preferred locations, times and orders. What are they going to do with that besides use it to improve their business? It would only be valuable to competitors. They could be hacked but that's possible with any online storefront.
- Replying to @PinstripeBungleI don't understand how people find drag shows entertaining but from my Dad's descriptions of the line crossing and Golden Shellback ceremonies clearly they play an important part in naval tradition even if no one is quite sure why.
- Replying to @caulin001 and @juniorkingppNative Americans wiped out all the megafauna of the Americas, North and South. They need to be held responsible for the lack of wooly elephants and giant sloths. Those of us who would have liked to see them deserve reparations for our loss.
- Or, instead of sarcasm, you could explain what you're talking about. I didn't imply you were stupid or even incorrect, I asked what they do with the information that's a problem. Do you not have an answer?
- Replying to @tylerduran21 and @acechhhThis is why my family decided not to tell my grandmother that her son had passed away. She had severe dementia and we would have had to tell her every time we came to see her. I didn't like it because I hate lying but I reluctantly agreed because the alternative was worse.
