"likes of which the world has never seen"
Honestly if this is the worst thing that they feel they have been exposed to, they lived a pretty charmed existence.
If a global jihad is expressed by small sporaddic terrorist attacks, and that is the worst possible thing, then someone needs to read history

It’s meant to be mean?

And part of their plan to stop teenagers from seeing these posts online is to enact a ban that covers them until they turn 16?
Seems like a ridiculously inefficient conspiracy to me.

I think it is because Discord actually do have a lot of practises to keep kids safe on their platforms. I may be wrong...

No doubt part of some larger conspiracy I bet...

Is that even happening?

Do you seriously think this is what it is about?

How do you mean?

Do those benefits outweigh the costs? I guess that is the trade off that people are considering.

I haven’t had to hand over any ID data; why are you referring to?

I don’t know about this kind of argument. The same could be said of driving a car, or buying booze, gambling etc.
Why wouldn’t we look at the effects of things on children, and try and mitigate harm?

My wife and I love playing Pips every morning.

But you gotta fix the issue on iPad where it needlessly makes you flip the screen to portrait mode, and back to landscape…

What does the Insurrection Act allow Trump to do?

Directors should be thinking long term, and recognising that the potential pain of losing research funding over the next 3 years isnt as bad as compromising values, and kowtowing to authoritarians.

If people have the guts to stand up to this kind of thing, it will be temporary. If they succumb to it, then it just reinforces it, and will make it more permanent.

God damn, I was trying to buy less books this year!

Why should be listen to a man who didn't even managed two years in the job.

Sometimes assassins have had grand ideological reasons, and it was literally a part of a movement. Look at Frans Ferdinand for example.
I think we just formed our idea of assassination as meaningful, and thus requiring meaningful reasons, during a different part of history.

His kids should get empathy because, I assume, his views about empathy are not something we think are worth promulgating?
Isn’t that the point?
If you disagree with his views, you shouldn’t be flippant about things like the importance of empathy.
