The tweet seems to have been taken down. Did anyone save a screenshot?

Judges use outcomes to interpret the law all the time. There's nothing, on it's face, invalid about that approach. You may personally disagree with it, but then you'd have to justify why the rest of us should believe in a leg

Nationalism is very specific to the modern era. It didn't really exist before the French Revolution. So no. Unless that was a typo and you mean to write "after the modern era"

The major polluters, (India, China, USA, Russia) already have nuclear weapons. If we could just switch those powers to nuclear energy, I'd think it would offset most of the world's carbon emissions.

A pdf reader with highlighter/notes functionality that can sync the pdfs AND their hightlights/notes across multiple devices on different platforms. I was very surprised to find such a thing doesn't exist (to my knowledge). I

That seems very unlikely. Under what statute would they do that?

Note that's $200 each way. So $400. And when I clicked the link, most tickets were showing as $250 - so $500 round trip not including lodging.

I dont mean to criticize, but how is this different from a normal kid? Being shy as an 8 year old seems normal. The "negative thoughts" could be because she's picked up that you're concerned about her feelings which make

It's not "life". It's the school-world that adults have constructed and forcibly inserted children into. It's hard to think of a single aspect of children's lives that isn't directly or indirectly created

You're not seriously arguing all students do that, are you?

Most Uber rides I've taken are around $20+ each way. Anyone relying on that as their main method of transportation can afford a car payment.

This article is about withholding crime footage from the news media, not withholding it from the police. In fact one of the justifications given by BART is that "juvenile police records are protected", implying that it was reporte

Is a company putting their ethical principles over profit necessarily a bad thing?

Why would leadership want compliance if it's coming at the expense of productivity? Who cares how obedient the employees are if profits are down?

If this was the cause I would have expected this trend to start when cable news started, not in the 2010s. How do you account for the delay?

It seems like a big assumption to think that trends appearing in a few cities will carry over to the rest of the US.

Nice job moving the goalposts. The original question was whether the world can be said to be "designed". What you, personally choose to complain about is irrelevant.

Porn was around long before 2009 so this doesn't make sense.

I dont think FAANG stock is that risky. And the fact that it's just a limited number of people making these wages emphasizes that it's a wealth inequality problem. I'm not sure how that would be a counteargument.

My mom was a nurse and this is just another one of the unfair conditions nurses have to work under. Doctors think that nurses are idiots and expect them to blindly follow the doctor's orders, but if the doctor makes a mistake and gives

Literally anything you do creates a "chemical reaction in the brain". That's how brains work.

You can't ignore the religious stuff. It's baked into the program. Daily prayer is considered a non-optional part of the 12 steps and atheists and constantly derided as being arrogant and unlikely to stay sober. They're a rea

If they're volunteering in their local communities, that builds the collective wealth of the community I'd argue this is a kind of wealth (or should be).

And there's tons of people (myself included) who would love a structured way to make this a hobby and meet like-minded people without having to commit to grad school.

They seem to call a lot of male attackers "incel terrorists", even when the attacker doesn't espouse incel-like views. Roy Den Hollander was undoubtedly misogynistic, but I don't see any evidence he was an incel. The jud

When I first read "in this house we believe". I thought it meant they believed in the house, as if it was a deity. That seems like a fitting double entendre.

This is the most idiotic argument I've ever heard. You can dismiss literally any problem that affects society by claiming the proponents of it are "politically motivated". No shit they're political motivated. It's a
