  • The guy that said DUI and DWI are the same is wrong.

    First, states have different blood alcohol levels that qualify as intoxicated.

    Second, assume you are driving funny on a Friday night and a cop pulls you over. They will test your blood alcohol level using breathalyzer. If it shows you have been drinking but your blood alcohol levels is below the legal intoxication level, then that is a DUI, and it is a lesser offense.

    Last I heard, some states like Texas don’t even have such a thing as DUI. It used be and still might be, that if you are not intoxicated then the cops will force you to get a ride home but there is no criminal charge.

    DWI means you were caught driving with a blood alcohol level that is above the legal intoxication limit. In most states, the legal intoxication level is so high that if you actually go over it then you are certainly very obviously drunk. This is a much more serious charge.




  • I’m not debating. It is not a matter of opinion. I’m doing you the courtesy of informing you how the entire rest of the world uses the term.

    If action A looks for thing X, and it finds thing X, then the test is positive. If action A fails to find thing X, then the test is negative.

    If action A claims to find thing X, but later confirmation determines that thing X is not really there, then this situation is called “false positive”.

    If action A claims fails to find thing X, but later confirmation determines that thing X is actually there, then this situation is called “false negative”.

    That thing X may subjectively be considered an unwanted outcome has **nothing ** to do with the terms used.







  • I feel you and what everyone is doing annoys me too, but our only recourse is to do something worse.

    My proposal: we start calling our cock “corpora cavernosa”.

    Examples:

    • “Hey, Chumley, don’t just stand there with your corpora cavernosa in your hand.”
    • ”He’s being a total corpora cavernosa!”
    • ”My corpora cavernosa got pinched by my zipper.”
    • ”Hey, bro, does my corpora cavernosa hook off to the right?”


  • In case non-native English speakers don’t understand.

    The word “murder” is an old legal term meaning: unlawful killing of a person. This implies that there are lawful ways to kill a person. Slang usage of the word “murder” is less precise.

    A proper translation of the Bible’s 10 Commandments prohibits murder, that is, don’t kill anyone in a way that your tribe forbids. It does not prohibit every kind of killing of people, that would be ludicrous. This is why those Christians who have the viewpoint of 100% no killing of people are misguided.
