And the author clearly knows that, because the first n paragraphs are talking about being a normie instead of... explaining Urbit.

Buddhists would likely disagree with that, since in Buddhism (though this is a significant oversimplification) enlightenment comes with the unrooting of all attachments and the dissolution of "self".

They're different reasons. Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 discusses who "shall be eligible to the Office of President". AOC doesn't meet the requirement of being 35 years old, which means she's not eligible in the

Not exactly. The 22nd Amendment would prohibit the second election of someone who had served for more than two years without having been elected. For example, if Gerald Ford had been elected president after he finished Nixon's term,

Many would argue so. There are things everyone agrees about, but for everything else, constitutionality isn't really established until it's been enacted and then ruled on by the Supreme Court. Would the Supreme Court allow such a

There is no such restriction. Article II never specified any limit on how long someone could serve. The 22nd Amendment limits only who can be elected to the office of President . Since a VP becomes President through devolution, not elect

Next time, before you state that a sentence "is pure bs", consider applying the principle of charity and wondering whether you might be in the wrong. Here, you misread. OP said "they look similar" and "they"

No one else who was exposed to that person was ordered not to. This employee was singled-out.

Consider, sure, but we need to actually consider . There is no model for any of this, on either side of the issue, and so the off-hand "we need to get back to dating, etc." really does look... heartless. It's just as much a

The cure would likely be worse than the disease for you . Are millions of people dying an acceptable trade-off for us to be able to date?

The "only if specifically requested" is commonplace and requesting evidence is a routine part of any case. I'm all in favor of "automatic" discovery in criminal matters—I don't believe the prosecution should ha

by GavinMcG 7y ago
Can you provide evidence that this is a commonly tolerated practice in "the real world"? Are you a judge, prosecutor, or criminal defense attorney? It's a common trope, but courts really do have discovery deadlines, continuan

The presentation of facts can be misleading, and you're right that comprehending the world isn't easy. But that doesn't mean we reject truth or stop aiming for a true view of the world. The commenter didn't say our col

Given that none of her posts are one-paragraph technical summaries, I'm not sure why you're imagining her audience is clamoring for one-paragraph technical summaries.

People are free to project "looking down on" or contempt onto the phrase "some random person" and the (subsequent) use of "rando" but I felt like it communicated precisely what was going on: this is a large org

I think most people would find a single paragraph less enjoyable. Most people enjoy stories, and find them more memorable and impactful than data.

African immigrants can have racist beliefs about black Americans just as much as anyone. (Including black Americans.) Kendi's "How to be an Antiracist" gets into this in a way I found to be eye-opening.

> This is the basic principle underlying American law and our Constitution. So what? Can I call the idea "American colonialist" and dismiss it as categorically as labeling something "Marxist" allows you to do? In fact

Can you clarify how this relates to the article?

This is specifically about how "Big Law" does this – so no, most lawyers don't do this, but the prestigious and high-paying firms do. They're hardly "historical practices" when the 2007-2008 financial crisis is

Not to go too far afield, but I agree that Nim is in that category and I'm curious what parts of it are confusing to you.

I think lawyers fundamentally premise their work on the variability of interpretation. They make arguments in favor of certain interpretations, and take pains in the texts they write to preempt any undesirable interpretations. Legislators

Past practice has force as well – the written agreement is only one part of what binds the parties, and Berkeley made a change to working conditions without bargaining over how that would affect workers. That's unlawful.

The "goal" of a low wage job is for an employer to make a profit from someone else's labor, and to only allow them to subsist. UBI promotes subsistence but crucially allows someone enough time to find more substantial opp
