Reply to comment by SpiritOne in Playing Military Sim War Thunder May Get You Classed as a National Security Risk by Sorin61
That's why the category is 'risk' and not 'threat'. If you were going to be an accountant, no one would care. If you were going to work in the defense industry or for the government working on military stuff and require a clearance, they'd definitely take a close look at you. It probably wouldn't keep you from being hired but it would probably bring you under more regular scrutiny if you have access to 'shareable' documents. It's kind of like complaining about security guards and saying 'I don't see why they should have guards here, I'm not a thief!'

Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] Joe Biden's Aggregate Social Media Sentiment Compared with FiveThirtyEight's Polling Average by infegy
How can you even claim to guarantee that? Even you didn't assert that it wasn't a problem. You said 'I'd guess they're fairly minimal'. That sounds a lot like wishful thinking, not a result based on research and statistics.

"creation and use of technology and its surrounding issues"
Not only do you not know how to make magic flying intergalactic space ships, you don't know how to use them or have a clue how they even work. So there's no intelligent discussion about the technology behind them to be had. So what's going on is basically spreading something just short of saying 'I worship an invisible sky friend that I can't prove exists'. I'm sure there's another sub for that

Reply to comment by cleanscotch in ELI5: Why do companies require annual budget be spent 100%? by angrybird7677
I always find this kind of stupid because it means you don't recognize that you're just making your best guess as to how things will go and nothing ever works out that way. It's kind of like going through the whole 'goal setting' process once a year but at least everyone recognizes that you goals will evolve as the the year progresses because of things that arose that you had no ability to predict or predict accurately.

Yes I'm always fooled when I see smoke from something make nice little round poofs in the sky. Very convincing.
