There's no reason why they wouldn't already be self driving. They're expensive as hell and they aren't allowed on the roads anyway.

I don't think that people who want to share and enjoy pornography count as a marginalized group on the internet though. The fact that there are many more ways to do that and Facebook is not particularly optimal helps a lot. It doesn't surprise me that groups would want to use Facebook to organize, because that is very…

The general idea is that pornography isn't discourse, and isn't necessary for it. You can say "I fucked so and so", nothing the video adds to the conversation is discourse, it has only prurient value. I don't know that I agree with that entirely, but I feel confident saying that unfortunately hate speech is speech…

I want for there to be a better mechanism than social disapprobation to punish scumbags like Bill Cosby. But there isn't, so I think we should be responsible with how we use it. If no one gives a fuck that this case resolved itself in a way that suggests Depp was innocent, and just goes on treating him like he's just…

Charges were not dropped. As I have noted repeatedly they were dismissed with prejudice. That is a meaningful distinction, one that highlights the states role in prosecuting crimes, because you can't settle a criminal case out of court with an accuser. That would be fucked up.

As far as wanting it to be true, I suppose that's true in that it is the intended conclusion of a case being dropped with prejudice. If he is guilty then a great miscarriage of justice has occurred, because the case resolved itself as it would when the accusations are false or highly baseless. I personally know…

I mean, I already got where I'm going. A court found her criminal accusations to be false.

There is a big difference between being in a mutually abusive relationship and being physically abusive. One of them is a crime that Depp was charged with, and charges being dismissed with prejudice usually means something.

They settled their divorce, like people who are getting a divorce must. I just gave it a quick look up to make sure I'm not misremembering and I was right, the charges were dismissed with prejudice.

I really don't want to come off as that guy, but didn't it turn out that her accusations were false? I remember reading that the case got thrown out with prejudice after the bruise photos fell apart and her testimony was full of holes. I mean I'm not somebody who follows this stuff, and I'm entirely on the side of…

So you're saying that Watson was the Jackie Robinson of table top gaming?

I heard when he played the Marquis De Sade people thought he was a method actor, but he just like that all the time.

Have you even seen Gods Of Egypt? Geoffrey Rush doesn't go between any giant elephants' legs.

Wouldn't that last paragraph serve as a good rational for maintaining the current status quo by helping to defend the ally we put into place? I don't see how that supports dramatically altering our policy and disregarding longstanding promises.

Only if the radial length of the sun's arc through the sky was short enough. If it was sufficiently long then the difference of angle would be very small. If it were not then we wouldn't have uniform 24 hour days across the world, people living on the Eastern edge of the world would have high noon within an hour of…

You basically admitted it's a false comparison, so you don't think that building an argument on a false comparison is a fallacy?

No it wouldn't, it would have mountain sized shadows, but the sun's angle to the surface would be virtually the same across the world.

It's not important that the country under discussion is actively threatened and you're trying to compare the situation to countries that aren't? That's a totally fallacious argument.

Honestly, I think there is a strong argument that Facebook is right to remove that content. There are other places on the web for that. Facebook isn't threatening your ability to discuss the content, you could still hypothetically use Facebook to organize if you wanted, but you're trying to use Facebook as a porn hosti…

I guess I'm just surprised he had the humility to accept he needed to try to play to the audience. Here he thinks he knows the audience better than they know themselves, which is why he seems to go off on a stream of consciousness so often.
