The root of the problem is the electorate (not the leaders, who are downstream from the electorate), and that problem mainly falls under category A. They, the voters, have this idea that more social services, more…
When I think of dangerous street people, I don't think guns. I think knives. The times I've been threatened by street people, they showed me or made reference to knives. A gun seems like an expensive liability to such a…

Wow, that New Yorker article really is something. She hires private investigators to obtain sealed court records about an allegation of child abuse and de-anonymized the child. Then when the university reprimands her…

No it isn't, the "energy costs" are negligible. That link is a joke, he's fear mongering about the effect of satellites falling back to earth but can't point to any specific harm; "Effect? WE HAVE NO IDEA." Classic…

We should take away their shoelaces, just in case the pilot tries to garrote his copilot. Velcro shoes work fine, and a minor fashion offense is a small price to pay to prevent this scenario.
Search for "restrained by passengers". Passengers and flight attendants duct-tape idiots to seats all the time. What is that has you suddenly so afraid of a repeat of a thing that last happened over 20 years ago?
Should we wait to see if a tiger lives under your bed before hiring a poacher to get it out?
That isn't a thing that happens anymore, because passengers don't tolerate anybody making trouble. This double-doors stuff is alarmist theater for a fabricated threat.
Not a chance. This is more security theater, meant to remind people to be afraid.
Discord is "where information goes to die", so for that reason I think there's relatively little risk of lock-in from discord. The history there might as well not exist, so there's less reason to stick around instead of…
