I mean, he is wrong about there not being things in place to protect prisoners, but he’s not wrong that it’s still dangerous and the conditions aren’t great. Guards have killed inmates before with no real consequences.

Yet another crime amusing enough to make me question if we need to get the court involved.

“Jews were already genocided once” Right, I forgot that gave them the right to commit one free genocide themselves.

(/s, in case that wasn’t clear)

Yes, that is the point, Tesla.

I don’t think you understand what makes for good entertainment. Hint: you tend to need a conflict in a story. I wonder if “controversial shit” might be a place to find interesting conflict for your stories?

Also inclusion is not the same thing as pushing an agenda. Gay people are just people. They’re allowed to exist in a story without it necessarily having to mean something.

I think with your bikes example, one of the factors is also that riding a bike is considered one of those fundamental skills in our society. You learn it early and internalize the rules of the machine. When bikes were knew, we absolutely had more tolerance for risk, so we didn’t really care that people were getting hurt learning the ropes, and now that it’s a staple we take for granted that people will be guided early on by more experienced riders. That’s just not the case for something new. There isn’t the widespread understanding of the device or any early training. It also helps that a bike is mechanical, so it’s a bit easier to predict than something electronic, and of course the difference in safety standards now vs when bikes were new. So yeah, if bikes were just becoming a thing, we probably would feel different about their level of safety.

But I agree that anyone who wouldn’t wear a helmet on one of these probably doesn’t have much to protect up there anyway or is a literal child.

Well, I’ve never particularly cared for sports, either, so this improved my opinion of exactly nobody.

Venison has a similar linguistic history, originally being any wild game meat before narrowing to be specifically that of deer. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out they did it in lock step. It would make sense, anyway.
