   The nice thing about OCD is that it doesn't have to make any sense, and you get to know and understand that it doesn't make any sense! That paragraph generally sums up my day, but you do learn coping strategies. I'm not sure

   Pop culture OCD: I like to organize my pens and post-it notes on my desk. OCD in my life: I have a tourretic tic that forces me to grunt forcibly and wink whenever there is a square around me (side note, why is everything a fucking square?)

   Illinois was the same way. ACT charges for every damned thing, whereas SAT is free. That's one good thing, at least.

   Most high school students take the SAT/ACT in their junior year already. Many only take the test that once. Many high schools have test-taking built into the curriculum for the first half of that year of school. Some states have replac

   I was a retail manager for 6 years while I finished grad school and post doc work. It was eye opening for me. Many, many of the elderly people who came to the store were there almost every day, and were there just for the human interaction.

   Or, alternate option, you can take it at face value in that he claimed a meat only diet helped him, using his public persona to push an agenda that is completely unsupported by science.

    They 100% were lying to me. I spoke to a family friend who quit the police department I was dealing with over ethical concerns. He said that it was pretty standard practice, especially when dealing with a case they had zero suspects on. He

    In my experience, no, I am not exaggerating. In my run-ins with police, they had no clear suspect, so everyone was a suspect. In one case, they questioned me, and had me go through a polygraph test. They didn't inform me of my rights t

    It's not a bad idea to have a relationship with a lawyer. Talk to family/friends/co-workers. Somebody will have a name for you. We made a relationship with one I found through family via estate planning (not his specialty) an

    This is the answer. Local media is owned by two families, one of which sits on the board. It's small town politics at its absolute finest.

    Also, I've noticed that people care greatly about misspent federal dollars, and don't seem to notice when all local city or county contracts go to someone in the local government's brother or cousin. I know the federal dollar

    I honestly wish there was anyone in Washington who seemed willing or able to lead in a bipartisan manner. Someone who didn't rely on the partisan firestorm of the week to get support. It's all very disheartening, and hard to expla

    This is legitimately the argument I hear from my friends who are fans of open carry. Now, it's with AR's and AK's, instead of grenades, but that exact line is what they use. I find the fear simply fascinating and confusing.

    That just strikes me as a disingenuous argument. No one can argue that drinking and driving is bad. But I would argue that drinking and driving is not correlated to SWAT teams being kitted out like they're on the ground in Afghanistan

    So the part of that which isn't paywalled simply says that doing something illegal, or doing something legal in a threatening manner, can be broken up by police. Maybe it's in the full-text, but where does it say police can attack

    So the video of the man being held down and a baton being forcibly placed into his hand, is the one I'm assuming you're calling out. What possible context would make that okay? In what possible scenario is putting a man's han

    Wait. Are you saying the law allows for police to physically attack peaceful bystanders? Am I reading you correctly?

    Yes. It's anecdotal at best, but all of the 6 cops I know have either "Trump 2020" or "Trump No More Bullshit" or (my personal favorite) "Trump Making Liberals Cry Since 2016" flags flying above the US f

    I. I just honestly don't understand what you're saying. Or where you would've come up with that. Or what the purpose would be. Or why you even think this exists. What are you possibly basing this on?

    I don't know what that even means. We're talking about facts established by research, indicating they have occurred in the past. I don't know what you're talking about.

    > Ask some oracle what "fact" is and shun every other point of view? This statement concerns me, greatly. Its implication is that facts are merely point of view statements. That is just, well, it's just wrong. Facts are fa

    Really? Chegg was like the first textbook source that existed for college students. That used to be (maybe it still is) it's number 1 business. You could rent books from them for cheap for courses you didn't need to keep the text.
