Kyle Rittenhouse didn't commit any crimes. Brock Turner received public vitriol commensurate with his crimes; I think a better comparison would be with the hockey player who pushed an empty wheelchair down some stairs. It's indefe

If I were doing a guided intro to McCarthy for someone who hasn't read anything, I'd suggest: 1) Watch "No Country for Old Men" (and optionally read it - it's a very faithful adaptation but you'll get additiona

If your argument is that directly murdering someone is equivalent to supporting politicians who support policies which you don't like, you've already lost. Why not just murder the people who voted for the politicians that Thiel su

> It stops when one of the two iterators ends Right; my question is, suppose you're iterating over two slice iterators - won't each call to `a.next()` and `b.next()` have to check whether that sub-iterator is done? One of the b
