@flexghost Nope. O one is "arguing" anything... you said something, it was confusing so i asked, turns out you used the wrong word, so now i have my answer, end of it.

Now if you want to escalate that to some desire to argue or complain about semantics thats on you. But thats not my goal, the dude is a sicko i just was legitimately confused why they were being labelrb a terroist.

Not everything is a argument, calm your horses.

@admitsWrongIfProven @antares @thatguyoverthere

It was, but as explained it causes people in those industries to avoid seeking mental health therapy... so knowing thats the case why are you supporting a policy for both guns and pilots that cause more people with mental health issues, untreated, to exist?

@flexghost certainly a sick individual... not sure the terrorist label applies thrn. A terrorist by definition has a political goal associated with their violence

@admitsWrongIfProven @antares @thatguyoverthere

Doesnt change the fact your proposing a solution to a problem that is known in several examples to make thr problem worse.

Why woukd you want to enact a policy that results in more people with inappropriate mental conditions flying or owning guns?

@pies @zack @MelodyCooper

Yes, yes it does... not particularly relevant (unless you have more to add), but it surely does

Feet pics are to actresses like book banning is to authors. No one really wants to see it happen to them, but it is also the defining moment that means you are finally famous.

Congrats Neil, you made it ;)

I learned today that 5 of my books are among the more than 1600 books banned in some schools right now.

@jaysonmassey and how do we address this in a way that helps address the problem?

@LouisIngenthron @admitsWrongIfProven @thatguyoverthere

I suspect if you look at thr numbers not that many are the result of circumventing backgroubd checks.

That said i am fine and support requiring background checks for private sales, but to do that youd have to give private owners access to the mechanisms to do it at the same price as a shop.

So my girlfriend ate a tiny bit of my edibles, keep in mind she has never smoked or did edibles. Was such a low dose though i didnt expect anything...

Anyway we were driving to dinner everything is perfectly fine. Then as she makes a 3-point u-turn right as he car is perpendicular to the road and blocking both directions kf travel she looks up at me in a panic after fiddling with the gear shifter for a minute and goes "Jeff help! I forgot how to put the car in reverse" lol i just pop her gear shifter up a notch to R and thrn just make fun of her for thr following week ;)

It went by pretty quick, so you may have missed it, but I think there's a good lesson to take from James' humility about his own design judgement.

I think I have good design judgement, but I am constantly recognizing designs in the wild that are wildly successful that don't commonly exhibit the failure modes I would have predicted.

@icedquinn

Very true, the TSA no fly list is an amazing example of why mental health evaluations will certainly be abused.

> impulses to violence
usually the game is to create a categorization and then slowly add everything to the categorization.

that's how you end up with someone telling a doctor they are sad and now they are on 30 terrorist watch lists because of it and none of them make sense.
