That facet of the show always struck me as particularly New York airport culture, but I've spent my whole life on the opposite coast so don't trust me on that. It does feel like something that would be a very different ask city to

No it's not. The ellipses in the middle are sufficient to denote that there is a trimmed portion of the quote, especially as this is a threaded post and you only need to scroll slightly up to see the unmodified original. There's n

>Simple, how about just like a store is not allowed to refuse service A store is absolutely allowed to refuse service. You're not allowed to walk in to Costco without a Costco card. Plenty of restaurants and clubs have a dress code.

But obviously some element of luck is present here. Unless we're willing to say that the success or failure of the merger is entirely on how hard each employee worked.

Exactly this. The problem lies in the power to control expression lying in too few hands. Just having the same media system, but with the government directing who they ban is just passing the buck.

I really had to go and dig to figure out what you were even talking about here. The "original person" was a separate sibling to this thread. Do you know how threads work? Because that was not part of this conversation. I am not go

Oh, yeah. I definitely don't put any stock in their methodology if it's just a fancy opinion poll.

I get that you're trying to be clever and say that it is actually both, but the question was clearly phrased so that the second option was in exclusive opposition to the first.

The "Left" side of that chart is generously "Center" and less generously "Leans Right."

Yes, very few people are motivated BY racial hatred, far more can be motivated TO racial hatred.

And I can't tell if you're trolling, for the exact same reasons you gave. They gave a reply that should satisfy your question, and you drilled down again because it didn't use your exact words.

He snidely denigrates socialism and communism constantly throughout. Is anything that talks about communism with any nuance apologism?

The whole point of the story seems to be that you shouldn't just read a story like this or the linked article and take away a simplistic data point like "mmap is faster" or "mmap is bad"

"Half the country" isn't active enough with their social media to even notice a new platform, regardless of which side of the political spectrum they are on.

So you're just splitting hairs over the difference between "approve" and "find reasonable" until someone gives up and agrees with you?

If you can run it. I have friends who spent hundreds on ships back in the day, but haven't upgraded their PCs in the meantime. They can no longer run it, as the specs have creeped up along with the features.

But would you not be pleased to be certain who killed your dog? It's not a 1:1 concept mapping, but the conceptual space is close enough that the semantic drift of "satisfied" is completely understandable.

I was referring to the third party example, where there is an "imminent breach to the peace." The point about indecency can stand as it is: not how I'd order a society, but I get it. However, I should not suddenly be in MORE

Oh, I definitely agree that those example exist on the fuzzy line, but the question was whether they didn't read to Americans. The more I think about it, the harder the actual barrier between "pleased" and "convinced&quo

It's not the place of the judge to consider the treaty one way or another. Judges judge based on the actual laws put in place in their court. If the current state really isn't what the lawmakers had intended with their treaties, t

No, that's the definition that does track perfectly in American English: where it can be substituted by "pleased."

It sounds like you're saying that if someone wants to fight me over what I'm wearing, that I should be arrested. That feels backwards, and I don't think the specifics of the article of clothing change that.

You've chosen to ignore any of the cases of actually modern reform-based prison systems and instead bring up the late 18th century? Odd choice.

>This also applies to games. Every "headshot +100 points" is such a tiny dopamine spike. Games didn't used to have those. Meaningless points popping up on screen when you do a thing is at least as old as Pac-Man.
