Then I am pleased to be wrong!

It’s a perfectly cromulent word.

A classic from Introversion. It’s a bit older so it’s gotten over the review threshold by now, but I’d wager it’s relatively unknown.

We don’t want the center. Her main selling point is that she is not 80+years old. The bar is that low. Nobody gives a shit about policy at this point, it’s gotten that bad. Anything but a geriatric convict.

I have no problem with change. But I do have a problem with Microsoft’s lack of QC or proper design methodology.

Language is an imperfect medium with inherent limitations, intended to convey thoughts from the mind of one person to another. Thus, context is critical. The tragedy of humans not being telepathic.

A large portion of this argument is between two factions trying to have a complex discussion regarding at least four different things using only two words; male and female. The discussion however expands to biology, stereotypes, gender norms, rights, etc.

To me, everyone arguing is a moron for trying to have a discussion without first agreeing on axioms and vocabulary. Male and female are not enough words for a discussion involving this many variables.

It’s like, hey, please reconcile general relativity, quantum mechanics, and metaphysics using only X and Y. It just screams absurdity.

But if you lose money you’ve effectively funded the maga cult!

Much like Chrome forced me to Firefox, Windows will force me to Linux. It is inevitable.

Meh, probably not actually harder to do, but these people crave attention and recognition. If they did it from behind a computer, no one would see how important they are!

This sounds about right to me.

All that means is our votes count less than theirs. We knew that already, that’s how a bicameral legislature works. That doesn’t make our votes weigh nothing. It makes them weigh less, which means we need to make up for that with even more votes.

From that perspective it means it’s MORE important to vote, not less.

The voter turnout in the country is absolutely shameful, and we complain about government not representing our interests. Voting is the bare minimum effort. Nobody should offer up a single political opinion if you don’t vote. It’s your entry ticket into the conversation.

We are all the products of the universe that created us. To understand them you have to first understand yourself, why you believe what you believe, and then understand that they lived a life that furnished them with their beliefs. But that will only get you halfway, as you will begin to understand them but that does not extend both ways; they will still not understand you. That will take considerably more effort.

Now ask them if Christianity winning means purposefully bringing upon the end times.

Additionally, iirc a lot of these are unethically farmed too, like force feeding them in captivity and collecting the droppings. This also reduces the quality.

Well it caused a worldwide recession.

I think your comment is being interpreted as “Biden supports Israel, so vote Red.” However, you’re likely just pointing out the flaws in Biden.

Perhaps you should include the intent of your comment so people do not misunderstand your goal.

Keep in mind that we operate in a FPTP voting system that favors two parties, thus many people will assume criticism of a candidate is a tacit endorsement of the opposition.

The left has enough trouble fighting amongst themselves that people are sick of the lack of cohesive strategy.

There are plenty of people that think this way. They’ll happily slap a free glass of water out of a thirsty man’s hand because they were there thirsty yesterday and no one offered them water.

Instead of being happy for the thirsty man getting some water, they’d rather he suffer the way they had.

And? Was she some kind of dictator before and I missed it?

May not be super intuitive, but getting rid of them is intellectually lazy. If you know an hour is 60 minutes, it makes enough sense.

If an hour is 60 minutes, 60/12 is 5 minutes per number on the clock. Long hand is minutes because there are more minutes in a day than hours. Or at least that’s how I can rationalize it.

If you can explain an analog clock that quickly, it’s just lazy for them to not learn it. It also has cross application to make people more comfortable with mental math and multiples commonly seen in trigonometry.

I understand what it is. I said make it illegal. It largely contributed to the housing collapse.
