Supporting a call for violence. Reported. Ars User Agreement Section 5, Part 2, Paragraph 12

Great, so we agree. You're just getting hung up on the emotional baggage that comes with the word "Nazi".

If only I had predicted before that people wouldn't actually read what I said? Oh wait! I did!

Reported for the advocation of violence. Ars User Agreement Section 5, Part 2, Paragraph 12

Welp, this is going more or less exactly as I predicted. People ignore the first part, don't really read the rest either, just see that it's not a full-throated "Punch every Nazi in the face! Grrrrr!" and assume it means it's pro-Nazi. What I'm saying is actually quite the opposite. Simply...

Unable to form counter argument. Noted.

No, you are missing the point. You are walking down the street, minding your own business, and someone comes running up to you and punches you in the face. Does it really matter if they thought you were the person who slept with their spouse or because of a comment you made on a particular...

You're comparing Apples and Oranges with your comparison of things that are intrinsic to an individual vs an adopted belief system. I'm talking about how "Person A should be punched in the face because they are trans" and "Person A should be punched in the face because they're a Nazi" are both...

I'm talking about the comments people make here. Saying, "Trans people should be beaten because they're unnatural" and "Nazis should be punched in the face because they don't like trans people" is fundamentally the same argument.

I get where you're coming from... at least as much as someone who has never directly experienced it can. I can understand the frustration at how in 2016 it seemed like decades of hard fought victories were simply swept away in one fell swoop. Still, ask yourself, how is what you just said any...

I know most people probably will mentally edit this part out, but I'll say it anyway so I can quote it again later when people ignore it in their replies. I do NOT agree with our transphobe "friends" and very much think there's absolutely nothing wrong with people wanting to live in a way that...

And they wouldn't be allowed to drive, so if someone mistakes your car for another carpool vehicle you can't stalk them through a parking lot and shoot at them... but that's more of a silver lining approach as opposed to trying to address the fundamental issue.

While Twitter is a private platform and they can suspend any account for basically any reason at any time, you can't really circle this square with the idea of "free speech absolutism" where the CEO of the company defined that as anything that isn't explicitly illegal. In this case, it appears...

It wouldn't kill them, just make them even less useful as members of society. Also, if you say someone is a bad person for doing X, then it's kind of on you to set a better example by not just abstaining from X, but doing something that is opposite of X. Doesn't necessarily need to be 100%...

That person needs to teach a refresher class for the entire industry. If you make something sound good on shitty speakers, it will almost always scale up a lot better than things scale down.

It took me like the entire first season of Red Dwarf before I could filter the accent for Lister. Now if I go back and watch it, I don't even really hear the accent, but it was a struggle at first. Most British stuff I have no problem understanding, unless it's actors from the north part of...

I know Amazon doesn't have control over all the stuff on their service, but they could mandate that all their original stuff going forward be recorded in a way that emphasizes clear vocals. Whether that involves some kind of careful camera and boom mic placement or maybe trying to hide a mic in...

The only place The Onion really has left to go anymore is actual news.

My 7th(?) grade science class teacher did something like that. Saying how if you left some meat out in a cool dark place, it would produce maggots. Which was something of an intro into a Jr. High level rendition of the law of conservation of mass and whatnot.
