@zack @MelodyCooper @freemo Do I even have to say it? US ranks nr 14 in the world in reported rape, and the only rich country that's above it is Sweden. Guns don't stop sexual assault from happening. Guns do not make a country safer at all.

@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack But causality does require correlation, doesn't it? And US demonstrably has a lot of guns and does not have a low murder rate. There is no reason to think a lot of guns lowers murder rates. There is a reason to think the opposite.

@zack @MelodyCooper @freemo I guess Americans are just more hateful. Thank you for making that clear :)

@zack @MelodyCooper @freemo So that's also not something you're saying? Feels like you guys just don't want to talk about why Americans murder each other so much. So it's not because you want to and not because you can. What is the reason for your murder rate again?

@freemo @zack @MelodyCooper If only those crazy people didn't have guns.Of course it's also a very unspecific claim with no sources or even numbers, and I couldn't confirm it. But I'm sure you've proven it before.

@freemo @zack @MelodyCooper Ok, I don't buy it. US has an average number of people with mental illness. It's the guns.

@freemo @zack @MelodyCooper Again, I can provide sources. Neither of you two does. https://ourworldindata.org/mental-health

@freemo @zack @MelodyCooper I'm comparing US to other rich countries, and you can probably see that the prevalence of mental illness is similar. Certainly not many times higher, as is the murder rate. Lack of healthcare access is certainly a factor, but I don't think it tells the whole story because, again, I don't think the difference is large enough.

@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack Is your claim that US has a significantly lower sexual assault rate as somepared to other rich countries?

@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack So guns don't prevent sexual assault?

@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack Guns have no effect on sexual assault?

@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack It feels like you think US has the worst people in the world, and it's only the guns that make it just about bearable, except for some very worrying metrics.

@freemo @MelodyCooper @zack People are the same everywhere. But I'm sure you'll say I'm wrong, so I'll stop here. This went exactly as well as expected.

@freemo @georgetakei And yet, the "moderate" Republican candidate can't even say what he said.

@stefano In a business it might make sense to raise the resources until the problem is fixed. It might also be cheaper to run a larger server instead of getting devs to optimize it/fix it.

@aral We really can't leave good enough alone. Now we need a badge on milk containers that specifies whether the cows were fed actual food or chicken shit? I feel like when I've noticed written on McDonalds packaging for an egg McMuffin "Made with real eggs!" Like wtf would it have been possibly made with instead? What's next, "This food product does not exceed the allowed percentage of rat droppings"?

@Wolven It's still better that he changed his mind. May be more believable as an AI sceptic.

@Wolven What exactly should he apologize for? What harm has come to whom from him?

@aliss And of course now they're adding AI to it, like losing to strangers wasn't annoying enough.
