What about people pretending to be universities and spreading dangerous falsehoods?

I used to work maintaining aircraft - both heavy maintenance and fixing snags - before moving over to pushing papers around.

No. It isn't ridiculous - not if you want to maintain safety in the air and scheduled flights. What happens if a boot cover - for example - wraps itself around an intake filter and blocks it? If the fuel system in the Boeings are made on the same principles that the fuel systems I've worked with, that means the system will detect a blockage (pressure drop) and open a bypass valve - the assumption being that unfiltered fuel is better for the engine than no fuel, especially when airborne. Which in the case of large debris means that foreign objects can and will get into the fuel pumps, engine fuel controllers and so on... might not kill the engine outright, but will generate extra maintenance, costs and delays. So FOD in the fuel is a serious matter.

And even if the protections built into the system works 100%, why would you accept eating up your safety margins? Do you neglect using the seat belt in your car since you have air-bags?

We counted every single tool out of and into the toolbox. We signed things like disposable gloves and boot covers in and out. If we were scraping sealant, we had to present our supervisor with a bag of scrapings, and if he though it was less than it should be he went in to check for loose scrapings himself. Yes, it is dark, cramped and uncomfortable - but that isn't an excuse to do a substandard job.

If anything were missing - be it half a glove, a 3' torque-meter, or anything in between, we stopped work and found it - if necessary opening up hatches and panels that were already signed off and closed. The aircraft didn't leave the maintenance hangar until all tools and equipment were accounted for.

No, people are bashing on Boeing for letting their corporate culture deteriorate to the point where the people who are doing the difficult job - and I've been there - either don't care enough to call a halt when tools and equipment are missing, or don't dare to speak up. Once the main focus becomes getting the airframes of the assembly line and not doing the job right, quality and pride of workmanship deteriorates. The failure is not on the workers; but on their overseers, inspectors, management and bean counters - and this sort of failure can potentially kill a lot of people.

He can say whatever he wants. His actions, however, show that what he said isn't the truth.

It's over "Gun Control" where the reasonable debate happens.

The Left, ever the great manipulators of language, realized they had lost traction advocating "Gun Control," and are now rolling with "Gun Violence" as their fallback position.

The words have changed, but their loathing of the 2nd Amendment remains intact and unwavering.

The programmer trains the AI to see the N-word as hate speech. Fair enough. Then the AI reads the so-called "black twitter" where everyone refers to everyone else as the N-word, and the AI tracks it all as hate speech. Also fair, it's a goddam computer, not a socio-linguist. Ditto the Q-word for the so-called "LGBTQ twitter." Fair, and fair.

Hysterical. But fair.

Report the messages. Chances are the moderators of those subs actually remove those messages, as opposed to what happened in T_D where the moderators left messages which violated T_D's own rules up.

T_D wasn't quarantined because of what people post (as every sub has people posting violence and nonsense from time to time) - the problem was the moderators weren't moderating it.

The problem was the moderators weren't removing posts which violated Reddit's rules and their own subreddit's rules. If a subreddit has poor moderation and is home to threats against people which aren't removed, the subreddit gets quarantined until the moderators show they're actually willing and able to moderate it. This goes for any sub, left or right.

And a subreddit called "fuck the police" is fine unless it contains posts urging people to go out and kill police officers, as happened in T_D, and especially if those messages aren't removed by the moderators.

So it's undemocratic to ask the people what they want? If they still believe the same as before, then nothing will change. If they have changed their minds, it's undemocratic to ignore them now. And it's impossible to ask the same question twice in a referendum, so it can't possibly be re-running it.

Brexit wouldn't be solved, it would just be possible. Any form of Brexit will have its own problems which will need solving.
