Yes, it is different because a body part is attached to you and always moves with you, but a tool is not part of you so it needs to be manipulated. Using your body in a new way isn't like using a tool. But I agree that tool use is related to the use of one's own body.

As a kid, I rode the DLR to my grandma's in London and loved standing at the front of the train, where the driver wasn't. I'm sure someone was monitoring from afar. But either way, the liability was, obviously, on Transport for London.

I've never understood this question. You sue the company, obviously. The same as with anything else that could hurt you. We've had autonomous trains for decades now, and no one is confused about their liability.

This is true, colonization really put western Europe on the map.

I see that now. I'm sorry for making it worse.

No. The first thing. Not the second thing.

Clearly I wasn't saying you shouldn't be asked about getting services. I was saying you wouldn't be asked about feeling "programs are there for drug addicts", UNLESS they were studying that question! This is obvious if you read my posts!

No, I am not. Nothing at all like that. Why do you think that?

I'm not victim blaming, because I'm not blaming you for anything.
In both of those sentences, you are just making that up. You are falsely accusing people of things for no reason. I replied asking you to not make things up. And you are accusing me of victim blaming.

Okay, you are only saying that you feel like it incentivizes crime, not that it actually does. In that case, your comment is even less relevant to the post you replied to. I'm not victim blaming you, I'm asking you to read what someone is saying before replying.

How did you approach these posts you replied to? By misreading and arguing with them. But if you read my posts, you will see that I have not disagreed with what you're saying. I am trying to point out that it is unpleasant to get replies where someone misreads what you're saying and argues with you.

I am opposing misreading posts and replying pretending they say something they don't. I wouldn't have responded if you'd posted any of this as its own post. I am saying that you should read what you are replying to before assuming they are disagreeing with you.

See, I agree that's fucked up! We should fund social programs for you and people like you! Why do you think I disagree?

I agree with everything you're saying about services not working for people like you. We are talking about how to make services better. I don't understand why you've decided we are advocating for the things you've mentioned.

"Feels like I have to do crime, have a baby, or develop a drug addiction to get anything". You are saying that you think services are only given to parents, drug users, and criminals, thus incentivizing crime, drug use, and having babies.
Although I admit that having a baby isn't a crime.

I meant that you're against public funding for things that you think incentivize crime. But I'm also not sure that you care to tell the difference, because you're replying to posts about new social programs talking about how you think they'll incentivize crime.

I can get how you feel that. I think it's pretty obvious that that wouldn't be as good. This is another example of you not reading posts and instead making up what you want them to say. I didn't say that your 1 hour of therapy is as good as a full time special ed! Nothing like that at all!

Correct, you wouldn't be. If someone wanted to research perceptions of social programs and who people think that they help, they might ask. It's an interesting topic, since so many people agree with you and that reduces support for social programs.

The fact that you decided to misread them and comment implies to me that you're on a crusade against public funding that you believe incentivizes crime. That's fine, but if you assume people are doing that, they're going to see that you aren't reading what they say and ignore you.

Some scholars are talking about studying the effects of social programs on crime, especially programs that aren't directly focused on crime and criminals. Programs that are good for everyone. Measuring whether they prevent people from committing crimes. The opposite of what you're implying.
