to be fair, mirrors are pretty crazy and don't typically appear as clearly in nature with the exception of water.

Whether a dog recognizes its reflection or not doesn't really rule out that they're not self aware

not if you had one of those setups where you can burn right from a source CD to multiple target blanks

This is the old is fetus life.

Yeah, and the problem there is that logic and science won't change someone's mind about it. It's subjective from their perspective.

I've seen pro-life folks argue that but they frame it like... "the law is fine and it's a failure of the doctors not being willing to understand the law which led to deaths" and they'll also follow that up by saying that even if women die, they're saving more lives by preventing abortions so it's a net positive.

I find it difficult to argue against that perspective. That is, I disagree with them but also it's hard to argue when they frame abortions as basically murder.

as a dude who has worked in restaurants and offices... working in fast food isn't the simplest job out there, like by a significant margin. That sentiment is propaganda to keep wages low and treat low wage earners like shit.

however, I get that Trump thinks that way so your point still is right

It doesn't matter that it was correct. There isn't anything that verifies what it's saying, which is why it's not recommended to ask it questions like that. You're taking a risk if you're counting on the information it gives you.

because it could have just as easily confidentiality said something incorrect. You only know it's correct by going through the process of verifying it yourself, which is why it doesn't make sense to ask it anything like this in the first place.

MOBAs were cool at the time of warcraft 3. Let's move on.

What kind of statement is this? MOBAs are still insanely popular. And "move on"? as if there's no reason to iterate or improve on a genre?

I don't even play MOBAs but I've heard this same sentiment on arena shooters and it makes as much sense there as it does here.

I live in the south and ended up seeing a southern rock band a month ago. Literally waving flags as part of their set..They finished one song by riffing on killing in the name and the crowd ate it up and I was like uhhhhhhhh

exactly! it's crazy, like you're conscious but your mind isn't recording. And then without that record to reflect on, it's easy to forget things.

it's a really long article that goes into depth on the issue with a lot of anecdotes and research. The gist of it is though that while these people have committed negligence, it happens to people who are otherwise not negligent. It can really happen to anyone, all it takes is some stress or unexpected plans changing.

People should be aware of how easy it can happen to anyone and not pass it off as just bad parents getting what they deserve.
