Most mistakes remain mistakes, and do not become part of the language. The idea that mistakes generally get accepted as correct is simply untrue, which is what you are implying. I am sure people will make the mistake, as they sometimes do t

It will likely end up like many other more phonetic spellings: an indicator of ignorance, but more acceptable in America than elsewhere.

Scrolling on social media isn't like any of those things.

>Turns out, in this case, the “new machine” is Tony. And Tony’s kind of a racist. He’s tanking morale, making people feel unsafe. But management keeps him around because “he works hard.” You're talking about management. Not the law.

Absolute liability is unquestionably completely wrong. It is punishing someone despite his not having had any kind of guilty state of mind. It creates criminal liability for something that is completely beyond the defendant's control.

This is nonsense. Drinking in moderation is beneficial or at worst harmless. Every two years the "science" changes. Anyone that pays too much attention to what it says is a fool.

How is traditional news "inescapable"? You can just not go to the websites and not watch it on TV. It is very easy not to consume breathless mainstream media rubbish.

No. It is like alcohol: perfectly fine in reasonable doses, but harmful to people that get addicted.

If she tried to reduce it she wouldn't do it. Nobody is holding a gun to her head. She does it because she wants to do it. Until she takes responsibility for her actions she will not change.

The result of a purely chronological feed is that you have to scroll through 10 posts from the same person and never see anything from people that post good content rarely. Plenty of people like and enjoy "algorithmic feeds". I ca

I mean it depends what you mean by child labour. Is it child labour for teenagers to work at McDonalds? Or for kids to do paper rounds? Nobody has an issue with that and if that is against the law then it should be relaxed.

Who working at Tesla can speak with the force of a punch? Nobody. Words cannot "punch" in any direction. Don't abuse language to try to conflate words with violence. Violence is physical. Words are harmless.

Pre-teens don't understand sex, which is what I said, and which is why they cannot consent to it.

The notation as it is works very well. It looks unfamiliar to you because you aren't familiar with it.

Kids left to their own devices don't explore the world. They play video games and scroll on social media.

They don't hate it. They dislike being bad at it, they dislike working hard at things, and they like video games and scrolling on their phones. And yes practicing will result in them getting better.

>If a pre-teen can understand the concept of sex, what’s so difficult about explaining that _some_ people have non-mainstream sexual attraction? They cannot and do not understand that concept which is why exposing them to it is a serious

People definitely watch YouTube videos while playing video games and play games on their phones while watching TV/movies. Narrative video games are a tiny and obscure niche.

When you are a child you are not an individual. You are a child. What your parents want matters more than what you want.

I agree that supply is constrained and rents are higher than they should be. The solution is to free up the supply of land and allow people to build, to bring down prices for everyone. The same people would do the cleaning and serve coffee

1. If there is an issue it starts much earlier. Trying to solve a problem that happens at school or earlier by giving discriminatory preference to people in university entrance or job applications makes no sense. 2. Inequality of outcome si

You did misunderstand it. Applying the law of the land as it has stood and been applied for hundreds of years isn't fascist. If anyone thought the Alien Enemies Act were fascist they could have repealed it at any time since the 18th c

In case you are new around here, these things change . When I left my comment, that had not happened and it had been upvoted. What's more, I was referring to a general trend, not just one comment.

Because no matter how many times it is said, nothing serious is done to change it and the problem remains the same.

Not allowed to roll over to renters? What does that mean? How would it work? Money is fungible. Why should the owner of a unit be expected to absorb the cost? It isn't like they chose the cladding. People obviously do go after the deve

You don't have to wait 100 years for a home, though. You might need to wait 100 years for a free home. You can buy one straight away or rent one.
