This is correlation. Plenty of people are brought up this way and are completely fine, and plenty of people are just like this and stayed in one place their entire lives.

This is precisely the first thing I thought of. You can absolutely provide structure and strong friendships without physical proximity.

You’re right. But this is decidedly not abuse; it’s a parenting style that many are unaccustomed to, and perhaps doesn’t work as well in the US, I have no idea. But it’s not abuse. You’re correct that physical/sexual harm and malnutrit

But not all the time, and that is the point. Plus, most of the people with dementia that are extremely aggressive and/or violent are that way due to a lack of socialization and an extreme sense of loneliness. Of course that’s not alway

This is brilliant. This is one of the best things I’ve seen all year. My father was diagnosed with liver cancer about a month ago, and I have had a rough time of it since. I needed this positivity in my life. Thank you for reminding me of t

Many do, yes. And I’d suspect that’s true for those the parent commenter works with in particular .

Depends on what you’re exchanging. If you’re exceptional at math (and even find it fun) and the exchange is a math problem set, that’s almost like getting paid for cheating, in a sense. So sure; not free, but free as in beer.

I have no problem with the concept of nation-states. People will always seek to find their tribe. That is what makes America exceptionally unique on the world stage; it is seemingly becoming more tribal anyway, but the mix is unusual.

To be clear, Masimo’s old (and previously discontinued) design infringes on Apple’s design patents, not the one presently on the market.

by borski 2y ago
Apple sued for infringement of their design patents, for Masimo’s old watches and chargers, and asked for $250 in damages. They won that set of claims, meaning Masimo’s old watches and chargers infringe. Masimo’s current products did not in

I swear I’m not trying to pull an RTFM, but the Wikipedia page is genuinely an interesting one and goes into the history and the fact that nation-states, in particular, are a relatively modern phenomenon. https://en.m.wikipedia

Thanks for the thoughtful response! Yes, I think a misunderstanding and/or I was unclear. I never intended to make the claim that separating the upper and lower somehow makes neither a firearm. That was not my intent at all. Of course

True. Honestly, I thought it was a great film, and I’ve watched it a bunch of times. I thought it explored that topic quite well.

Apologies if that’s how it came off, but that wasn’t what I was trying to say. Of course, in the moment the law is enforced, the enforcer “is the law.” That is true for any law, at any time, but it is not literally true. Enforcing a law u

Police enforce the law. We aren’t discussing police; we are discussing universities. Some have their own police departments, but even those are beholden to the law, which is not the university’s to define . Your police argument is a stra

While I agree with your premise, it’s worth noting that much of the military is also “bureaucrats doing necessary government work.”

Fair, I can see why it looks like I confused them. I was solely using her an example; my point is that grammarly hasn’t caused her knowledge of grammar to get worse, only better. It has taught her over time.

That's not the argument I made. You were responding to an argument that "humanity can collectively work on different things at the same time," and "many things that we rely on today were not directly created by research

It's relative. Think of the US as a collection of small countries, comparable to the EU, and it's a little easier to understand. I know relatively little about European gun laws, but I imagine that the gun laws in Romania and the

I agree; I am not saying I am glad this is happening. I am saying it is untrue that universities “are the law.” They’re not. That doesn’t make it less stressful, annoying, or unnecessary to fight them.
