Did you know that really.__anything__() can be written as anything(really) ?

> I also wish you could turn off specific permissions (so app developers would have to check that they have the permission before they used it, erroring - and asking for the permission - if that permission was required).

Yes. Or maybe an option to "Install with No Permissions" or something. It would be interesting to see which parts of the app required which permissions, then you could make an informed choice whether you wanted X feature enough to expose yourself in that specific way.

D&D is an English law, though. AFAIK there is no law in England against just being plain drunk.

There are already laws against most kinds of nuisance-making; a separate one for happening to be drunk while nuisancing is overkill and unnecessary. Being drunk in and of itself doesn't harm anyone else.

Ditto.

You got something against gay recursive lawyers?

Give this person an internet!
