You’re right.

But, damn near anything that’s said with mean intent about a visible minority long enough becomes a slur. So it is something of a game of whack-a-mole that continuously removes words from the language as collateral damage.

I personally think people should just stop being mean entirely, slurs or not.

Well yeah, just pointing out a slight QOL issue. There’s good reasons why we tend not to build light sources as bright as the sun.

There’s no perfect system. Patches are not perfect and can add security holes. The old code is imperfect too, and if you do not patch those holes will remain. One needs to weigh the risks against each other. It’s an optimization problem.

If and when security is a primary objective, limiting patches to what’s necessary is a good idea. Best of both worlds.

There are a lot of options, but water works, is cheap as hell, and spills aren’t much of an issue.

The only problem being you shouldn’t look directly at it…

Spamming me with name-calling? Really?

You mentioned money before that. Why even bring it up first? As some kind of logical confetti to confuse the issue?

Dead bodies are not people and don’t have rights. If there’s a harm done, it has to be to someone else. Like surviving relatives or something.

On the other hand, if they had to face living to see the consequences of their actions they would have some motive to not shit everything up.

Legally, technically: no.

Philosophically, practically: if you believe it’s murder when you do it, you are a murderer mentally. You decided to kill a person, then followed through with it. And the first time is always the hardest.
