  • Assume far more money is being spend on fire prevention, than what's currently lost in fire

    For anyone reading this thinking that this may sound like a good rebuttal: it's a false equivalence.

    Fire prevention is a worthwhile expenditure, because things being on fire when they shouldn't is generally very bad. The cost of fire prevention is worth it, especially when lives are at stake.

    Benefit cheat-catching is (or at least should be) purely about net savings. What happens though is the costs outweigh the savings making them pointless, as well as hurting those in who accidently get caught in the net too.

    Don't fall for specious arguments, folks! A pithy rebutally might sound convincing at first, but don't be afraid to think deeper about it. And don't be afraid to ignore the commenter if you believe they're arguing in bad faith.

  • I spent hours trying to persuade US voters to choose Harris not Trump. I know why she lost
  • The atrocities being committed by Israel in Gaza only came up six times in more than 1,000 calls.

    I guess what people have been saying about this perhaps weren't particularly true. Which leads me on to believe the misogyny line even more.

    Can we all agree that whatever version of predictive text we have nowadays is crap, and has been for a long time?

    I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?
