And you've found today's... Daily Double!

It's Sports Nerds asking Science Nerds. Doesn't make any of them less nerdy.

We're going in circles now, and you keep putting words in my mouth.

Funny enough, there are reasons people steal. Doesn't make stealing right. People don't become mass murderers without some extremely fucked-up shit happening. Doesn't mean we shouldn't lock them up. But this analogy is terrible, because the woman violated no law by sending nude pictures to someone.

What you're saying is akin to saying that a murder _victim_ should be blamed, just a little bit, for being in the place where a murder was happening, and that's bullshit. Or that a mugging victim should be blamed, just a little, for handing over their wallet when faced with a gun, or a knife, which is equally bullshit. Or that someone in a subordinate position, like a student, should be blamed for doing what someone in a position of authority, like a professor, told them they had to do (and since sharing pictures is legal, as I mentioned in the previous paragraph, Godwin's Law doesn't apply here).

So when someone (I'll use "she" in this example) is told to take nude pictures or she'll fail the class, or she'll get fired from her job, or she'll go to jail, or she'll be killed, it's her fault if she capitulates, but not her fault if she fails her class, or gets fired from her job, or goes to jail, or dies?

Anticipating the next go-round this circle: "Well, failing the class isn't as bad as dying, so you're blowing things out of proportion." Do we know her academic situation? Was this a required class? Was she on a scholarship or financial aid (they've got pretty strict performance requirements)? Is there really no reason she might think that the consequences of not doing what the professor said would be worse than doing what the professor said? Can you not imagine any scenario?

No, X11 was designed without screen locking in mind.

I thought I exactly explained why someone might do something considered irrational. You said you're raising your daughter to be assertive, and that's great! Not everyone has someone who raised them to be assertive! So this "Oh, just refuse to be a victim!" is complete bullshit.

So you are blaming the victim. Congratulations, you're a terrible person.

And don't give Bernie Madoff to try to refute me. He was a sacrifice to ensure that we think the regular Joe Rich Person could go to jail. They can't.

Rich people don't go to jail. Anyone we could hold responsible cannot be held responsible for anything.

Thank you for burning down the straw me, because he was getting far too much of my paycheck. But if you continue to tilt at windmills, neither the issues you raise nor the issues others raise will ever get addressed.

But... They might be giants...

I'm sorry that the world is not yet sunshine and light and that we can't just ignore gender issues and sexual orientation issue like we can race issues.

I'm glad you live in a world without fear where all people can stand up and make a stand for what's right and doing so makes all the evil that humans do go away. I do not live in that world. I live in the real world.

In the real world, if you make a stand, you better be ready to get knocked on your ass. Not everyone wants that. In fact, some people have learned not to stand up, because every time they did, they got knocked on their ass. We call these people victims of abuse.

So, we all came together and said "These things are wrong, so we'll punish people who do them." Now not everyone has to take a stand themselves, alone, we can all stand together (or at least enough of us).

So you've blamed the victim and the victim's parents/upbringing. Strangely, an abuse victim had trouble dealing assertively with a new abusive situation.

Thankfully and correctly, you also blamed the perpetrator, and are raising a daughter that will hopefully never find herself in her own personal Kobayashi Maru.

Instead of them printing it, they'll send the instructions to your home maker for a one-time build (or just give you the plans why not?). Instantly.

6/10. You had it until "Trolley McTrollstein". If it had been "Trollface MacTrollerson", you'd get 8/10

That's not a lie detector, it's an empathy detector. Tyrell thought he could give androids empathy by giving them memories, but he was mistaken.

No. Polygraphs measure your involuntary responses. Lying is stressful. Lying to people trying to tell if you're lying even more so. If you believe it, you'll pass the polygraph just fine.
