  1. So, the diagram doesn't represent it well, but the 1.5m is a minimum. So, I just delay myself by half a heartbeat which is well over 4.3^e-9s.

We do know that, with those measurements, they aren't confined to a single (Euclidean) plane.

Decolonialize Maths!

We do need short names, but they don't all have to be wyt guys. Pre-globalization, I'm sure many true maths statements were independently discovered by many people.

Bodily autonomy doesn't allow parents to make choices for children. It does allow people to make choices for themselves. Nice try at shifting those goalposts, tho.

I can't agree. Bodily autonomy isn't a compromise position for me, and I think "faith" is a vice, not a virtue.

"Dead Like Me" deserved better.

What is "mortal risk"? You can die due to driving to the Yarn Barn. Do you have zero compassion for knitters and crochet-ists?

Your feeling resonates with me, but I'm not sure it's a defensible moral stance.

Make sure and get your colonoscopy this year.

It's an old meme, sir, but it checks out.

she then has a free ticket to get the guy for 18 years of child support

He is definitely on the hook for child support because the child deserves those benefits, and that's the way it should be.

Shared custody / co-parenting often reduces the raw financial burden, but the child still needs parenting and support, and if she's the only one putting in time, then under Capitalism, he has to put in money.

Also, in many states, if the child gets governmental benefits based on being in a low-income family, the state will often aggressively seek out the other parent, even if the primary parent doesn't really want to deal with them.

I'm not defending male rape, but I am defending taking care of all humans since none of us asked to be born. If the child (and everyone else) got UBI, there would be less (or no) reason for child support payments.

I forget the setup, but the puchline is "... takes 'the' out of child therapist".

I kinda buy the "forced medication" argument, but rather than removing the municipal water requirement, I think the municipality should provide water filters for those that want to opt-out.

I think the evidence is fairly clear that, in this case, opt-in should be the default as it protects VASTLY more than it harms.
