Neither on of those examples are guns. Also a libertarian wouldn't just accept you murdering them, they would obviously attempt to defend themselves. Your arguments are kind of weak.


The second amendment is the right to keep and bear arms allegedly. You know if you're a well regulated militia.

Anyway everything I listed is arms.

If you want to be literalist as to the actual arms of the second amendment, then nobody should be armed with anything but a breech loading musket.


I actually think this is a pretty good idea. Sort of the online version of a bake sale.


While spam is annoying, I don’t think it’s at the level of sociopathy.


Spam is definitely bad for society. So if 1 piece of spam is bad then a billion spams is 1B times as bad. That's a big factor. Probably getting near axemurderer levels of social damage.

Think about it in terms of years-of-life removed from society.

If the average axemurderer removes 10 middleaged (40 years remaining life) people then that's 400 years.

If spam eats 1 second that's 31 years. (1B secs)

Ok so about 3/40 axemurderer.


Axemurderers have an expiry (the day they die/are put in prison), spam does not.

I think your estimation is grossly underestimated too, Nigerian prince scams trigger (insufferable) workplace discussions which take 5 minutes or longer, for upwards of 5 people, spam that causes people to spend money they otherwise wouldn’t increases the wealth gap, impacting lives for generations.


The financial impact of spam alone is estimated to be tens of billions of dollars annually. There are many non-financial impacts that extend far beyond "annoyance"

Spam is annoying the way polluting the ocean or mosquito bites are "annoying". I don't personally see a lot of ocean trash, and nobody I know has ever died from a mosquito bite, but there are massive harms with worldwide impacts caused by both.

In my view, the refusal to accept responsibility and the willingness to repeat and continue his offenses without any regard for the harm it causes suggests sociopathy, or at the very least narcissism.


‘Search and destroy.’


"a mentally disturbed individual may take it seriously and decide to take the "law" in his own hands."

Are we going to arrest the entirety of the GOP and Fox news next?


Your opinion sucks. People shouldn't be arrested for telling a joke that doesn't land well.


How would anyone from that time know that this was from space? I assume he had it for this reason, but how would he even know that?


Someone probably saw the meteor crash, then found the crater and the meterorite.


Most professional creatives have some sort of routine.


And get cranky as hell when things disrupt those routines. Jxxx Chrxxxx there is no milk how am I ever going to finish the parser now.


LLC, limited liability Corp. I'm pretty sure that is what they are referring to.


If I had to choose between unlimited lsd vs unlimited facebook I would take the lsd.
