SQLite for almost everything I've ever done that wasn't professional. In those cases it's "whatever the project already uses, or else postgres".

As long as it isn't a shoehorned-in freaking document database that's being used on relational data.

I'm not sure it's a specifically named one, but then again there are dozens, and they're hard to keep straight. In general it is (attempted) rationalization, hand-waving, and kinda... just a bad argument. It does not actually explain why that specific murder was "necessary" - only that it could've been.

The intent is to rationalize, but it might not get close enough to a real argument to pin down to a specific (in)formal fallacy.

Specifically what is your problem with those? You haven't really explained anywhere in the thread. It's kinda relevant for knowing what to recommend.

Good. Having a diversion-o-matic in the center console hurtling along at 100+ km/h in tons of metal is just a patently bad idea anyway.

I've seen this without the slur, but it's still weird that people are out here trying to redefine specific, well-defined, unambiguous, basic, and universal English terms. Not as a metaphor, not even as a bit, or attempted point (luckily, as it wouldn't have been a good one), just using a term in a way apparently nobody else ever does.

But there's absolutely nothing linking any then-or-since Norwegian Prime minister to the 22 July attack? I say this as a Norwegian - not only is the original joke simply not offensive in any way, it is hard to try to envision any way it might be. How hard would one have to try to find something objectionable about this?

Cringe and not in a good way

Seems like a way to foist off the responsibility for shitty communication on the supernaturally-supposed-to-be-recipient, in my opinion.

Bet they'll patent it, just to make sure nobody can have nice things.

It's very human, that's why it happens everywhere in history and also in at least like 4 or 5 different places right now.

We'd like to think we're nice and rational and empathetic, but we're just not as a species.
