I seem to recall reading that a German scientist did the experiment that lead directly to the atom bomb before we did our in the US, but that he misinterpreted the results, and tossed the whole line of research.

You could always just say "whoops, I read the question wrong," particularly since the rest of your answer was right.

If you're a practicing attorney, can you explain to me what roll the judge and jury have in charging someone with a crime? I had always thought that was done long before they game into the picture.

Arguably, you don't tell them, and they don't try to steal the idea, or try to sabotage it, or decide to build was plans that don't depends on a successful nuclear strike.

But if I, a 30 year old want to fuck a 17 year old, would I not also be called a pedophile? But if an 80 year old wanted to fuck me, he wouldn't be?

If you sit down and think about it, this is the easiest way for the federal government to increase revenue without directly increasing taxes.

Except that when tariffs are this high, they discourage imports and purchasing. It's self-defeating.

If I was her, I'd publish the threat and result in the place I hosted the mod, then nuke my own mod.

But I'm a spiteful little shit.

Huh. Never realized chromebooks were priced that low.

Thanks for the correction.

when you’re exiled alone on an island…

50,000 corpses at Waterloo would debate this one with you.

Desks are cheaper, and the hole only slightly impairs functionality.

It is always easier to destroy than to build, or to protect.

Again, this is not immediate self-defence, this is something else entirely: this type of situation demands systemic change.

I'm aware it's not immediate self defence, that's kind of the point of the question. How many people die while you work on that change? Why are ok killing to defend yourself now, but not to defend a hundred people tomorrow?

You remove them from authority then send them on their merry way to live out their standards alone, far from the rest of us.

And you hope they don't come back with more people and a plan for revenge. Napoleon was sent off on his merry way. His return cost over 50,000 lives.

Friggin’ children know this already, if someone doesn’t play nice, you stop playing with them.

And what if they won't let you stop playing with then? Children know bullies, too, and know that you can't just ignore them.

Why the hell are we still debating the ““virtues”” of murder?!

Because you are unwilling to admit that some people need killing. Not very many, in my opinion. There are usually better options. But killing someone is the only way to be 100% sure that they stop hurting people.
