Unafraid of taboos.

@ZaidJilani It is not at all clear that a GOP controlled senate is the lower-utility option. Why are you acting as though it is obvious?

[sards3 @sards3]

@MissionLoco @KatieSaysWhat @xbradtc @feelsdesperate No, they are worse than the scamming Somalis. I don't see why the fact they are veterans is supposed to absolve them.

[sards3 @sards3]

@xbradtc @letters_1234 @feelsdesperate Why are you framing it as if the government "broke" you? You willingly signed up for a job with known risks. If anything, you broke yourself.

@willchamberlain To be fair, Tyler Robinson is a gay furry...

[sards3 @sards3]

@jeremykauffman It doesn't help that the government also refuses to allow us to sell our kidneys.

[sards3 @sards3]

@xwanyex How much of it is political vs. just wanting to feel and be seen as urbane and sophisticated or part of some social scene?

[sards3 @sards3]

@ZyMazza @felps_bra @robinhanson No, Robin's simplification is more accurate. AIs do not copy their training data. The fact that a company filed a hypocritical lawsuit is irrelevant.

@MattGlassman312 @mattyglesias @bryan_caplan @AStuttaford I'm not seeing a problem here. If people want to go live in tenements and work in the factory next door, they should be allowed to. Everybody is happy. If not, then there is no point in forbidding it in the first place because nobody is forcing people to live there.

@fentanylbrownie Spanking and beating are two different things. Spanking your wife would just make her laugh, but go ahead and try it if you want. And the relationships are fundamentally different. An analogous question: "if you won't have sex with your kids, why can you have sex with your wife?"

[sards3 @sards3]

@CovfefeAnon @LaocoonsJournal What about castration?

[sards3 @sards3]

@SeanStockton44 @PeacefulFathers You have no idea what you are taking about.

[sards3 @sards3]

@bayesiandroll That is great! However, not all children are easy like yours. I'm sure you know that.

[sards3 @sards3]

@yeahyeahtwo @tibbaroen @ubiquitousnewt @jollyheretic I will say that in that case, it would not be appropriate to do that to your wife. So why is it okay for kids? Because the relationship between man and wife is fundamentally different than the relationship between parent and child, and comes with different duties and rights.

[sards3 @sards3]

@yeahyeahtwo @tibbaroen @ubiquitousnewt @jollyheretic This argument is incoherent. Spanking your wife does not work as a form of punishment, and it will not induce fear. Like I said before, it will probably just make her laugh. If you want me to engage the hypothetical where spanking somehow does induce significant fear and pain...

[sards3 @sards3]

@LetsCrowBoys @xwanyex I am happy to call out bad behavior or character, but I am never going to vote for my enemies on that basis.

[sards3 @sards3]

@xwanyex Yeah. Also, not all spanking is equal. I think the people who had spirit-breaking rift-creating experiences probably received something quite different than the judicious responsible spanking that guys like you and I received.

[sards3 @sards3]

@yeahyeahtwo @tibbaroen @ubiquitousnewt @jollyheretic I am not the one pretending to be an idiot here. Spanking and beating are two different things, only one of which is acceptable. I don't accept the argument by analogy that beating wives is equivalent to spanking children. The two actions are fundamentally different in nature.

[sards3 @sards3]

@Jaredhowe I would call it a failure of reading comprehension.

[sards3 @sards3]

@Jaredhowe Yes... But I didn't say it only depends on those factors.
