What is inherently true about the words “arresting” and “dictator” here?

Hang on you’re asking me to consider a philosophy that is explicitly aligned with the concept as a counterpoint? Admittedly I was raised Catholic and it was pretty much the opposite of that. I’m not holding to any one point I guess. I just

When did we stop calling them “police actions” when side-stepping Congressional approval?

I keep seeing this argument in here, but no one seems to point at any actual Venezuelans or message boards or whatever to support the point. Personally I only know a couple, classmates from decades ago who are FB friends and while they don’

That is an out of date question unfortunately. Now you just have to ask how it benefits the criminal oligarchy currently in charge of our country. Short term it gives them bread and circuses for their base. Longer term, oil wealth. That’s a

FWIW, this is definitely the opinion among Ego tool users on reddit. The aftermarket stuff comes with a discount and the possibility of a free surprise inside every box.

I thought the /. effect was to hug a site to death, not cause the price of the product under review to skyrocket. I see $414 instead of $258 now!

Well, technically someone originally proposed them in some ancient PEI Ur language and then Mel rearranged them. But you’re right. I couldn’t remember Wilder’s character’s name and kept coming up with The Frisco Kid. The 70s were a great ti

You could argue that if I started marketing dog shit too though. The trick is only applying your argument to the things that will go on to be good. No one’s quite there yet. Probably just around the corner though.

There is probably a case of people both being right here, just having gotten to, or found, different end results. For me, Claude has been a boon for prototyping stuff I always wanted to build but didn’t want to do the repetitive plumbing sl

I assume it was for Petula Clark. Not because it makes sense, because it makes the absurdity a little more pungent. What kind of duck was it? My … favorite tclancy is the one in Australia because I can sense the change in seasons when he ge

Huh. I have come to find the information about other tclancys across the world an interesting insight. Plus there was the time I was mistakenly sent a resume to review for a guy applying to become bank president; he didn't get the gig,

I’ve happily lost hours to following links at the bottom of one story to the next. The new archive still feels a little clunky (search needs a fair bit of work and the OCR clearly struggled in places), but it’s fun to chase down old classic

Username checks out. How would this work? We pay taxes specifically for Tragedy of the Commons problems like this. Most people aren’t going to do what the folks in this story did (and lots of folks wouldn’t be suited to it, even the slight
