If someone buys a product from you, you shouln’t be able to deny them from using it based on arbitrary criteria without a refund.

Converting to metric would mean using it in normal speech. You know, like in most civilized countries.

“What’s your height?”

“187 centimeters.”

They only post in their own communities on their own instance. You will only see their posts if you’re subscribed to those communities or browse All Why would you consider that spam?

A lot of capitalist countries have free healthcare. So how is capitalism preventing that?

You can open source your code just by uploading it on some kind of cloud storage and setting it as publicly available.

This comment is ironic considering that many words have different, more coherent spelling in American English, such as “color” or “theater”.

Why are some Linux distros in scare quotes?

So I presume if someone posted a comment saying “I’d love to roll him over with a steamroller” under a post about a transgender person, you would not consider that a violent threat because they are not going to actually get a steamroller?

I do give a damn about violent threats on the internet.

You didn’t answer my question.

In what world is driving a steamroller over someone not violent? How would you like it if someone made a meme about driving a steamroller over transgender people?

I don’t personally feel threatened. But the glorification of violence against a specific person is worrying.

Which video game contains violence against a specific real-life person?

Alright, I didn’t know this was a parody of an existing image. You could’ve said that the first time. But there was still the accompanying sentence…

I genuinely don’t understand why it’s supposedly a joke in one case and a threat in the other. Can you explain that?

I really envy people who don’t remember their dreams. I wish I could teleport through the night instead of waking up scared and anxious.

A single DuckDuckGo tab seems to be around 800 kB. No idea where you got your number from.

I just attended a lecture about this specific comma today. It was there as a rhetorical pause, not to separate clauses. A great example of how ambiguity in punctuation can cause thousands of deaths.

Why not expand the definition of child abuse to include these things instead of punishing people who are never around kids?

That sounds like a great idea, but it’s going to be impossible to enforce.

Well, then the prohibition has pretty much fulfilled its purpose.

If you read the comment chain, we’ve been talking about drug prohibition in general, not this specific ban.

Maybe not for other laws, but it makes sense for drugs. The important thing is that people should have the right to breathe non-poisonous air, and forcing smokers to hide their smoking achieves that.

I don’t know about the USA, but I see tobacco smokers every day and very rarely see marijuana smokers.
