I think he is suggesting the opposite - use more verbose names for clarity.

It's been great until this week when I hit their ridiculously low limit: 300. That's not many tasks/notes, especially as each sub task is counted individually too.
Why is it so low? I'm a paying user. I'm probably burdening their servers with all of 10kB of text! It's such a gut punch, it makes me regret paying for it a little, just because of how petty and hostile it comes across and because of how needlessly disruptive it is to my usage.
If anyone from Todoist happens to see this, please bump that up by an order of magnitude or two. For premium users, at least. It's awful. It breaks your product for me.
According to Wikipedia, 4 of the 6 sources for definitions of mass shootings in America specifically exclude "gang" related shootings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mass_shootings_in_the_...
How convenient.
Aboriginal Australians have one of the lowest average IQs of any ethnic group on earth, they had little to no concept of agriculture or weaponry, and existed in relatively small disjointed tribes rife with infighting and appalling violence in an unforgiving climate.
Were these people capable of organising, planning, equipping, strategising, and executing an assault on their neighbours? Would it have even been worth it - what would they gain? Even if capable, they may have been wisely unwilling.
I think it's incredibly naive to think that a capable tribe of Aboriginal Australians would have left their defenceless neighbours in peace if they stood in the way of valuable resources. Or that this didn't indeed occur countless times in relatively small skirmishes.
It might be more accurate to say that every people engage(d) in this nature to the extent that they are capable, and that, in relatively modern recorded history, Europeans have proven themselves to be by far the most capable in that regard.
So capable that they are perhaps the first people ever to police themselves in moderation of this behaviour, often explicitly and deliberately acting in the interests of alien people to their own detriment. That is unique.
Unsurprisingly, then, if you break down the rate of homicide by firearm in the US by race, you see similar statistics. ie. European/White Americans have a rate that puts them among the safer European countries; African Americans are among the highest in the world.
>The construction worker, who was months away from becoming a father when he was shot, died in hospital the following day.
>It later emerged the Audi Mr Kaba was driving, which did not belong to him, had been linked by police to a gun incident the day before.
It almost sounds as if Chris Kaba was a law-abiding family man in the wrong place at the wrong time. Having not heard of this case before now, I looked it up, and this man in fact was in the process of conspiring with six others to brutalize and murder another man, was followed and blocked by police, refused to comply with orders, and attempted to flee (putting the officers in harm's way) when an officer fired the fatal shot.
No doubt this disinformation contributed to the false sense of injustice that led to protests by blacks under the impression that they are being targeted by racist, murderous police. No doubt White Brits will be appalled and dumbfounded by the breakdown of law and justice in their indigenous homeland as violent criminals and their kin react with shock and uproar when encountering resistance by law enforcement.
Utterly disgraceful.
