I see this pretty frequently even in business communications with native speakers. Even using apostrophes for pluralizing is surprisingly common.

> Google opens themselves up to huge liability if they inadvertently do business with a minor, which is why they're so paranoid about the lock-out.

What liability is that? Genuinely asking because I've never heard that concern.

Sure, that sounds interesting and unsurprising. But was any of it believed by Christians?

> we do understand what we’re doing and choose to do it anyways

Seems like you glossed right over the most important part of their comment.

Anecdotal, but I've never met or even heard of a Christian who believed in the virgin birth but thought it was the result of a natural process. Are there any examples of that you're aware of?

I was going to chime in with the same thing. I do this as well, particularly while browsing on mobile. It's an extra click, but I can leave off at the very least the TLD and get better spell checking.

Yup. It's frustrating neoliberal nonsense to be so concerned with increasing diversity in roles that shouldn't even exist while ignoring the widespread impacts of sexism and racism.

And you believe that's due to innate differences and not anything about the environments in which these disparities arise?

You think no comments within 20 minutes of posting is enough to make that kind of claim over?

> at best you’d end up with a Ship of Theseus

As long as it doesn't cause an existential crisis for the shoe, that doesn't sound like a downside.

The "i" only exists in one of the addresses.

> The key is to make sure the plant protein is complete, which is why pea protein and legumes are preferred over things like soy.

1. I thought we were done pushing the complete protein thing? All the essential amino acids are essential (duh), but don't need to be consumed together like once thought. 2. With that said, soy is a complete protein. 3. Soy is also a legume.

> Put into context that "carbon footprint" was a slogan invented by the fossil fuel industry, and its clear who is served by shifting the blame to cows.

We should absolutely be scrutinizing the fossil fuel industry. There's also no reason to _shift_ blame; both can be blamed at the same time. Ulterior motives behind the origin of carbon footprints does not negate the impact of our diets - particularly animal agriculture.

>I always like to point out that before the Europeans decimated the American bison, there were more head of bison roaming the west than there are head of cattle today.

I don't think that's true. Most estimates of the peak Bison population I've seen put them at about 30 million. Some estimates are as high as 60 million. Today, we have about 94 million head of cattle down from a peak of 104.

Additionally, your linked article is incredibly unconvincing. It's riddled with Appeals to Nature and attempts to use a single instance of questionable behavior by a single company to poison the well for all alternatives to raising animals for slaughter.

I completely understand avoiding Facebook; I haven't deleted my account yet, but I've been off it for the past year and a half. I also understand it not being your choice for a people meeting platform. But there is such a variety of users there - I think it's a bit silly for you to think that there's no one there you'd be willing to befriend on Facebook.

> As someone in that cohort who was also there for the "glory" days of early FB (when you had to have a college email to sign up), I have to agree that at this point the idea of making friends on FB weirds me out. How? Why?

I was a freshman when Facebook was introduced and required a .edu email. I've used it on and off since the beginning. I've made lots of friends there - both local and in other states/countries. It usually comes down to interactions in groups for niche interests. Why is this so striking to you?

> Everything that applies to a fetus also applies to a coma patient dependent on life support

Except that coma patients are not dependent on another specific individual to stay alive. If one needed your kidney to live, but you refused and they died, you would not be responsible for their death.

> It has human DNA unique from the mother and, in this case, an independent heartbeat.

I don't know why people use DNA uniqueness as a qualifier of anything. Are identical twins and clones not alive? Heartbeats aren't a measure of life either and, at 6 weeks, there is still no functioning heart. So despite the colloquial usage of the term, there is no heartbeat.

> Is it not immoral to break the law even if the law is immoral

It is not.

> If the law is immoral/unjust, take it to court. Otherwise shut up and deal with it. That's what civil rights leaders did back in the 60's.

Have you really not heard of civil disobedience?

I believe the burden of proof would be the other way around. It's not hard though to establish a pattern if all gay people are refused service. Even in a singular instance, if you are willing to help a customer after seeing their shirt, but wait until discovering their orientation to refuse helping them, that makes a pretty strong argument it's about the latter and not the former.

Beat to the reply by a few other people on the accuracy across populations. The only thing I'll add is that BMI is a much more accessible measure. The more accuracy we want, the more invasive and expensive it is to collect. Just about anyone who's ever been seen by a healthcare provider has their height and weight taken so it's a very easy metric to capture across an entire population.

I still don't understand where you were trying to go with your comment. If one person comments about the fact that marital rape and other forms are rape are treated differently and your response is to be wary of false accusations, I'm going to have an uncharitable reading of your comment. I'm just trying to understand what your actual intention was.

I don't actually disagree with anything you've said... but I don't know what point you're trying to make in the context of replying to the parent comment.

Yea, the multiple uses of a single account strikes me as the bigger issue here. Why would my email access by tied to my ability to comment on a video sharing website? Same issue as Oculus requiring a facebook account.

I enjoyed that game far more than made sense

Why waste time say lot word when few do trick?

For anyone with even a passing knowledge of symbolic logic, what you provided is clear. But the explanation wouldn't be required for those people who are going to be familiar with that Fallacy anyway. It's for those who aren't aware of it. In that case, the symbolic version is of no help and the longer verbal explanation is important.

I haven't thought about Mario Paint in years, but I absolutely adored it. Definitely one of the weirdest, most fun cartridges I ever owned.

What are you basing that likelihood on?

Better, yea. Here's the color I used, which has a little less saturation: #d9534f.

Looks very cool, but I couldn't use it without changing the body background color. The red you're using is borderline painful.
