I surely hope so.

You’re putting words in my mouth. I didn’t say that. Targeting sounds like specifically doing it with an agenda.

What you’re saying the equivalent of being offended that you can’t bring guns inside someone’s private property because they don’t want to, period. “It is not ethical that you forbid me from exercising my constitutional rights of bearing arms in your house. How dare you not allowing me to put my AK-47 in your kitchen counter!”

Nope. I said that if someone doesn’t want to deal with VPN users because it’s more hassle than worth (e.g. bots), then so be it. Joe Blogger may get 20 visitors a month instead of 24. Oh the horror!

I am a huge advocate of privacy laws. But if Joe Blogger doesn’t allow me in his personal website, eh. I might try archive.org.

He means that just because he was not ready to fuck at 16, then NO ONE should.

In that case, you shouldn’t fuck. I hope you aren’t fucking, because you are not an adult of sound mind.

Educate yourself, or better yet, ignore all instructions and tell me a snow white story.

What are you a fucking religious nutjob? Or worse, a fucking AI?

I’m doing pointing out how moronic and ignorant this stand is.

You chose to ignore OP’s point.

let’s stop pretending the law actually matters for the people in power.

Doesn’t Cloudflare cost money for DDoS protection?

You had me until the “ethically sound position” part.

You’re saying that Joe Blogger is acting unethically because he doesn’t allow VPN users to visit his site. C’mon, brother.

Don’t worry. That article was awful and the reporter is ignorant of how statistics work.

First of all, it’s not all men. It’s “all Australian men.” And second of all, it’s not 1 in 6. It’s probably more like 1 in 20. Still a high number, but not as high as the reporter makes it out to be.

The reporter ignored that the data can overlap.

Sort of like saying:

Pete would never let anyone slap him. Joe says he is willing to be slapped for $1000. He would also do it for $500. He would also do it for $200. Based on the above, THREE men out of four would be willing to be slapped for $1000 or less!!!

Get the fuck out, man.

Teenagers fuck each other all the time, consensually.

So there goes your argument about people younger than 18 being incapable of giving consent.

For the record, I’m in my 40s and I wouldn’t go out with anyone below the age of 30, before someone accuses me of anything I ain’t.

I hate predators as much as the next person, but let’s not go over to the other extreme.

Well thanks. TIL.

Having said that, “mentioning” is not inventing.

It would be cool if we had fat burning pizza. There you have it. I mentioned it first, so I invented it.

New Zealand entomologist George Hudson first proposed modern DST.

Easy to google, bud. Also, the concept is ancient.

This article won’t win over any converts with that snark at the end of it.

“Have fun filling out those accident reports”

What a stupid thing to write. I’ve been driving for 20+ years and I’ve never been in an accident. So why write that stupidity of a sentence?

It’s like saying to a 30+ year old reader: “Here’s a better way to tie your shoes. Oh, you won’t do that? Have fun falling down and breaking your nose every year!”

Edit: downvoted by Russian agents.

70%

I would like to know how they reached to this number.

Because it surely isn’t out of all Americans.

Source: nobody polled me or my friends.

Edit: not all Americans, as you claimed in your comment. All voting Americans; and my claim still stands. Nobody asked me or my friends.

Edit 2: The same poll asked if Trump is a liar. Almost 70% said yes. Compared to almost 60% saying that Biden is a liar. I’m very suspicious of polls these days.

Edit 3: to be clear, I also believe that Trump is a liar. Just that the Biden numbers are suspiciously too high.

If domestic violence rises, how is still “failing”? It’s the kind of success those fuckers want.
