    At least 8 dead in Mass Shooting du Jour

    Yeah, it's less of a death sentence though to get shot in the leg. It's a big target, true, but people at least have a chance getting a hole blown out the back of their leg. It's the difference between a smallish part could be missed, and a sack of parts that must be missed.

    Voyager 1 Communicating Intelligibly Again

    This is why I prefer Hartree units. In Hartree units, expression of the speed of light is exceedingly simple and relies absolutely not-at-all on the measured length of the meter, instead being a simple expression of the fine structure constant.

    Columbia University is colluding with the far-right in its attack on students

    Maybe check to see if you are looking in a mirror before commenting?

    At least 8 dead in Mass Shooting du Jour

    So, I am also a former service member with lots of experience in handling weapons. One thing that Eric failed to mention is the charge of a weapon's ammunition. Not only does the barrel contribute to higher muzzle velocity, but there's maybe 6-10 times as much powder behind a .223 compared to...

    Moved Another step towards answering the question of life's origins - religion

    That's not evidence, that's two unverifiable and unverified bald-ass mere claims.

    Columbia University is colluding with the far-right in its attack on students

    I like to state my position thusly: I stand and support the young Jews of Isreal who protest the actions of their government against the civilians of Gaza.

    Roe v Wade is on deck

    No there is a natural compulsion: not aborting the baby will kill the mother. She shouldn't have to have been brought to the precipice before recognizing the journey leads to a precipice. All things considered, if I have a cancer, I am going to be compelled to remove it long before it becomes...

    Gender Roles

    What assumptions are those? This means that you do not understand what a "right" even is in the first place. If you wish to claim someone ought do something, that means that they lack the right to do otherwise, and have a right to only do as such. You clearly act as if you do have such an...

    Gender Roles

    And, I said no such things as Emily claims, insofar as I didn't say that people had any obligations to "unlearn" such a fetish. Again, this is Emily painting the views of others with some form of pathology. Yes, it's a genital fetish. I've expressed no problem with that. I just think that if...

    Roe v Wade is on deck

    Well, where you aim to shoot center mass depends on distance. Most people tune their rifles to be accurate at ~100m, so further out you need to aim high, and closer up you need to aim low, because the bullet will be over the horizon of the aiming line at short distances and below it further out...

    Roe v Wade is on deck

    In unrelated news, marksmanship is actually very easy for anyone who can marshal control over themselves for any period between 3 and 5 seconds. First, rest the "pad" of your index finger on the trigger, and slide the safety down with your thumb. Then, take a decently deep breath, and then...

    Gender Roles

    Yes you have. I'm not mischaracterizing anything here. You are pathologizing non-reproductive bodies. You wager that "sexual maturity" depends on endogenous hormonal exposure, and you demand this "sexual maturity" happen. Therefore you are pathologizing the lack of this "sexual maturity"...

    Gender Roles

    It absolutely makes sense. Not naturally, no. Those are all social constructions. This is a ridiculously confident statement made without any evidence at all. They have the organ they have. Whether you want to judge that as a "penis" comes down to social construction, not deep nature. Except...
