Not to split hares, but this is the first time I've ever seen harebrained spelled correctly in the wild.

That's the difference between people who read, and those who don't. On the flip side, I don't know how to pronounce some of the words that I know how to spell, so when I read I sub-vocalize them incorrectly. There's no need to separately learn pronunciation in my native Russian - it's phonetic, with very few, minor deviations. Nor is there a need to learn spelling - it is governed by very few simple rules.

According to Algolia it’s spelled right on HN about two thirds of the time (370 vs 170 results.) Not bad for that word!

1. Hollywood != Beverly Hills 2. IANAL but I believe this would have to be done on a state or federal level not a local level. 3. Why do you think the change is "harebrained"?

I think they mean people who run the entertainment industry live in Beverly Hills. Unclear what it has to do with activists all over though.

Start by disarming the police.

> Start by disarming the police.

Do it in _your own_ neighborhood though, not somewhere else. Something is telling me that this is not what you had in mind when writing that comment.

Why do you think that's not what we're trying to do? I am politically active against my local police because their violent policies affect /me/ and people I care about.

Do you often hear voices telling you falsehoods? Best get that checked out.

Do you? Or will you continue to argue that disarming police is an absolutely moronic idea outside upper middle class wealthy neigborhoods?

I have not, in fact, argued that disarming police would be moronic.
