Whatever the justifications were and whatever you call it, it was functionally the same thing as spying.

It’s straightforward logic though. 1. Trump’s team was spied on by the FBI. 2. Government employees have access to government systems. Conclusion? There is a possibility that Trump’s team again be spied upon through the government systems

Is this really such a strange thing to be concerned about? Snowden, NSA, etc...people remember. It’s well known that Trump’s campaign team was spied on by the FBI. Government is just a bunch of people, some of whom have strong political lea

The argument is that there are many organizations in the current government, a lot of them independent agencies, that are politically aligned against the Trump administration. Many people in these organizations have backdoor or spying acces

The most likely reason is convenience, not escaping record keeping.

You're going from 0 and 1 but there's a lot of time and politicking during which society is in the transition period.

My point being that this same process can be true for the accusers as well, with the only difference being that the accusers have institutional support. Is the primary criterion that a disputed fact is true whether the fact has institutiona

The fourth interpretation is that the something has not been clearly verified. The misinformation problem could lie with the accuser as well.

This is part of what he was directly elected to do, and he is doing what he can with the powers he has to do what he was elected to do. Everyone knows Congress won’t get it done, so good governance would be to route around Congress to do it

> Does a public police force disincentivize people from hiring private security body-guards? Yes of course, but you are asking if you need private security for everyone using vouchers. We as a society have decided that having police is b

The way the run the departments is up to the President is my point. Here, the President decided it would be best to cut down the ED as much as possible. Doing it via Congress would in all likelihood be impossible, Congress cannot get anythi

The guy is on a vegan low calorie diet while doing a ton of exercise, so basically constantly starving himself, which leads to plenty of inflammation. The consequent cellular aging he is experiencing due to the inflammation has to be higher

Currently, your property tax (well, the property tax of everyone in your administrative district) pays for your local public schools. Consider this as school tuition. But this disincentives people from sending their kids to private schools

by kelipso 2y ago
The President is not some automaton who has to keep departments running because Congress created the department. He has lots of leeway and decision making power. In this case, ED was not completely shut down, its functions were severely red

I don’t see how you can attribute cruelty to it. It won’t be any more or less cruel to boil the calf in a vegetable stock. Besides, it clearly seems to have been a “don’t copy the ritual process of this other tribe” rule.

How weird is my spouse acting (and should I be concerned, etc), for example, is a question that would take statistical differences in personality between genders into account.

by kelipso 2y ago
Higher chances of your paper getting rejected because it mentioned gender differences would be enough incentive for academics to mention it as little as possible.

Fructose is metabolized through the liver where it gets converted to glucose and other molecules. I assume it would put more stress in the body to metabolize a large amount of fructose, compared to glucose.

I think at this stage Russia will keep going until it achieves its objectives, main ones being replace Ukrainian govt with a Russian friendly government, annex the Russia speaking regions, demilitarize Ukraine. Whether the current US strate

It's pretty much like being a sniper, which you could argue has an effect on the soldier who is doing the killing. Though my empathy for that is almost nil.

They will... Russia is at an advantage right now in the war. Ceasefire would allow Ukraine to regroup and will give Ukraine a better position in the peace negotiations. Unless there are other considerations, I don't see why Russia woul

I think the caste aspect makes sense in terms of who a politician feels responsible for when they are in power. For example, typical upper caste politician might feel that they only need to improve the conditions of upper caste people while

I agree it was a bad deal for Zelensky but he should not have gone to DC in the first place. It gave the impression that he was willing to compromise and since he was not, relations broke down. Europe will need years to build up a military

It's kind of the default opinion in academia. Same goes for most popsci stuff I guess.

For Master's degree it makes sense because the students pay tuition. For most PhDs, the students don't pay tuition and get an additional stipend, so it doesn't make sense. Plenty of (most?) PhD grads stay but we are currently

> brainwashed by social media, online propaganda This is just another way of saying you don't agree with their views. One man's propaganda is another man's truth. Goes both ways.
