Press the button to drop the mag, slam in the new one, pull the charging handle, and all of this is designed to be done fairly easily without taking your right hand off the pistol grip. You have to be really bad with guns for it to not make sense, and even then a pistol as your backup makes far more sense than a second long gun.

"Not all forms of being attracted to minors are pedophilia. If you like preteens it's called hebephilia. If you like teens it's called ephebephilia. The reason you don't hear people make this sort of distinction very often is because it kinda makes you sound like a pedophile." - Some comedian paraphrased.
Personally I'm in the "why do you call your pedophile chipper a wood chipper?" camp on the matter (at least for a case involving a 12-year-old), but even for an older teen (and even one actively sneaking out to hook up with older men) I think we need to bring back shotgun weddings. Unfortunately that's a bit of a coup complete problem and requires some major societal shifts back to enforcing social norms by both shame and force.

I want a killer AI that goes after people who took Roko's Basilisk seriously. Can't claim originality on that one though, I think XKCD made that joke.

But crucially, it's not because women are sleeping around, because they're not sleeping around.
Your link isn't about sleeping around, and even if you want to try and infer that the numbers aren't broken out by gender

But in any case, the loan is also guaranteed by the house, and so the bank will give out such mortgages to the elderly, even if, as I recommend, people have no power after death.
Why does the bank get the house instead of the government via inheritance taxes?

Yes, but they mean the USSR wasn't just "An evil country more or less minding their own evil business"

I would love to learn more about this. Happy to read a link if you don't feel like explaining.

Are there any people who call you sir and treat you with respect? Or is the mere act of calling you sir disrespectful?

Supernatural entities would presumably operates by rules separate from those of the physical universe. Aliens have to follow the same rules as us.

some moral frameworks attribute little or no moral value to beings that have never achieved sapience
Correct, the monsters I was referring to.
Holders of frameworks in that second set should not denigrate holders of moral frameworks in the first set as "crazy" or "monstrous"
Holders of frameworks in the first set shouldn't be the ones deciding how holders of frameworks in the second set are allowed to think and talk about them.

That's basically the plot of an episode of the X-Files. Mulder swaps bodies with a guy whose job it is to make up alien and other conspiracy theories to distract from advanced military tech.

X as well with Seymour wanting to become Sin so he could give everyone the sweet release of death
One of my favorites, my only complaint is his hard on for boot camp that makes it take up so much of the book (and after that's done he decides to go to OCS for even more training!).

Not sure on the specific context that led to Lindsay making such an unhinged sounding tweet but here it is: https://x.com/ConceptualJames/status/1840510556056195340

Biggest problem with the toxin-based heart attack gun is that it's easily detectable by coroners, so long as they actually bother to look for it. If your target is old or unhealthy enough (or you grease the coroner's palms) then you have a chance of it going unnoticed.

Does an earthquake come and devastate Lisbon on a feast day for a reason? Do people get horrible, agonizing diseases for a reason?
Yes and yes. There are literally thousands of years of writing on theodicy (i.e. trying to answer the question "Why does God let bad things happen?"). You can disagree with the many proposed answers and explanations, but it's obnoxious when you ask those questions like they're some sort of irrefutable gotcha.
For me personally, amongst the many reasons for why God allows bad things to happen, the biggest one for me is that this life is just a tiny moment in our eternal existence and as awful as it seems within that moment in the long run all that happens in our mortal life will have been less than a blink of an eye in eternity. And the suffering and pain we experience in this life serves a very important purpose in our eternal existence.

So you say, but if Christianity is right then according to Luke 16 you wouldn't convert even after seeing an outright miracle.
