Vim and Emacs users both offended, but not for the same keys.

I'm disappointed that it doesn't incorporate any other information such as artists, writers, directors, producers, budgets, etc cetera.

Friendly reminder of the core problem: medical treatments are all balanced against the risk of what it counteracts.

Undergoing physical and chemical changes to grow another creature inside you and have it damage everything on the way out is pretty risky. Female birth control only has to be less risky than that.

A male has zero physiological risk from impregnating someone. Therefore, anything except a miracle drug with high efficacy and almost zero side effects is going to stall at the trial stage.

On another note, that speaks to how safe and effective vasectomies are.

I was raised evangelical protestant in the USA, at some point attending both Seventh-day Adventist and Pentacostal churches. My mother did not consider my Catholic grandparents to be Christians, based on her belief that one cannot be saved by confession/prayer to a saint or clergy instead of directly to Christ. As many other have said, this is not the mainstream definition.

The Animorphs series explores this quite well. It's not actually painful for them, but should be and is plenty disturbing.

Me and another churchgoer now occupy the same space. I'm on my phone; I wonder what she did to deserve this.

And, here me out here: this is a good thing. Nay, a beautiful thing. There are no better things to do because these people care and have a voice. We argue about things for years and make slow progress as people agree or capitulate, and there will always be a fork to avoid those changes people care to enough. No one can just buy the Linux ecosystem and make unpopular changes without broad support. I'm pretty sure a negligible number of people have genuine hatred or prejudice for those using a technology they don't like. The arguing of Linux and Open Source is a reflection of the most successful form of worldwide democracy ever implemented by mankind.
