“Is this Mad Max?”
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 1 day ago:
your “example” is a bad faith gotcha based on an insane hypothetical.
This you?
you somehow think that if someone is doing 90 in a 55 and hits someone actually doing 55 that it was the normal person’s fault.

If you’re argument requires everyone on the road to be a psychopath you might want to reconsider it.
You also haven’t been listening, perhaps you’re too busy ranting about “psychopaths” to pay attention: I’ve already said if someone is doing the speed limit and gets hit it is the fault the person speeding. However, I’d much rather not be in an accident at all than “be right” and not the person at fault.
I’m saying nobody needs to be doing more than the speed limit.

that’s not what you’ve been saying. You’ve been repeating “slower is safer” over and over and it was trivial to provide an example that made that argument absurd and untrue.
-
that statement is making a lot of assumptions. The primary one being that the speed limit is set accurately and appropriately. Again, if some politician decided “in the name of safety” to change the speed limit on the highway to 10 would you be arguing against increasing it because “nobody needs be doing more than the speed limit”? Would the people doing 20 on the highways now be psychopaths because the sign on the side of the road changed?

You’re in the wrong argument.
Looks like you’re in the wrong argument. The person I was replying to has repeatedly been saying “going slower is safer” and that is what I replied to. It was trivially easily to provide an example where “going slower” is 1) absurd and 2) more dangerous.
If that is not their argument then they need to stop repeating it as if it is and say their actual argument.

We are looking down on the mattress and it is casting a shadow on the step below it. If we were looking up at the mattress it would be casting a shadow across the stairs in front of it.

Yup, I’m sure the highway is much safer if everyone is traveling at 10. However, if I’m the only one traveling at 10 I have made the highway much more dangerous.
I’m advocating for not being a fucking idiot and causing an accident because in theory it’s safer to travel at slower speeds.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 2 days ago:
It’s not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.
That’s still a distraction. Even if they don’t intend to upload the entire recording they are paying less attention to the road in order to pay attention to their “performance”.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 2 days ago:
Cool, they are the ones that will get in trouble for the accident that I am still involved in. I’d much rather not be involved in an accident then be “right”.
Is this about safety, or is this about blind adherence to the law?
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 3 days ago:
If everyone is driving that fast and there aren’t accidents happening consistently then the posted limit does not reflect the reality of the road.

We need to start recognizing corporate greed as a mental disorder. This is a company large enough that employees don’t interact with the owner directly, and all the profits from the company aren’t enough for the owner: they also want the pen the delivery guy gave you. It’s a sickness.

Explain to the client that your refusing because of the policy that all gifts must go to the owner.

It also had some big gameplay departures from 1 & 2. I’m not talking about being an FPS (although no longer having to worry about accuracy was pretty significant) but the fact that putting on different clothing magically made you more intelligent, and that it was a lot easier to do everything.
In FO3 you can pick all the locks, hack all the computers, pass all the conversation checks, and take on hordes of enemies all by yourself. In FO1+2 you had to pick the couple of things you were good at and not be able to do the other things until your next run. - Comment on Baldur's Gayte 4 weeks ago:
A gear is not a wheel. That’s why it’s called a “gear” and a “wheel”.

A lot of transportation has an equivalent amount of doors, and there a lot of house, apartment buildings, offices… You use a lot more doors every day than you do wheels.

I had my computer plugged into a power bar and we’d turn off the power bar to turn off the computer so that we wouldn’t wear out the switch on the computer.
People actually thought you’d have a computer long enough to wear out its power switch.

it could mean girls or young women
young female is less opinionated & unlikely to clash with varied opinions on the distinction between girls & young women.
So how young are the girls OP is upset about not accepting his friend request? If there’s concern that some people would refer to them as “girls” instead of “young women” the grossness of the statement stands.
You go on this long when people make grammatical errors like using the wrong “their” in their posts? Or is it just excusing language the dehumanizes women that gets you fired up?
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 5 weeks ago:
That’s my point. If OP wanted to use clearer language “Young Women” would have been better, unless they are in fact creeping on children.
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 5 weeks ago:
So “young women” instead of “young females” would have been more clear and appropriate?
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 5 weeks ago:
So anon is asking why young girls didn’t accept his friend request?
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 5 weeks ago:
they wrote young females.
And you just said “females” refers to women or girls.
So if they are sending friend requests to “young females” then they are sending friend requests to “young women” or “young girls”.
If they don’t want to sound like they are sending friend requests to the young girls of their coworkers (all of their mutuals after all) then “young women” would have been the better word to use.
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 5 weeks ago:
The fact that the use one form for one gender and a different form for another gender is exactly the issue.
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 5 weeks ago:
Females does mean women or girls, and they wrote young
So OP is asking what’s wrong with young girls that they don’t accept friend requests from strange men, and your asking why people are pointing that out as a problem?
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 5 weeks ago:
Did OP use “males” anywhere?
- Comment on Anon studies human behavior 5 weeks ago:
Unless they are talking about 10 year olds, “women” is acceptable.

I am aggressively opposed to anything that is profitable at the expense of the consumer. That is a terrible business model.
