“Standards of clothing” is not a set with a total order, and society has never had one way to dress. You’re unfairly projecting your values (of a certain style of dress) onto society as if it’s shared by everyone.

This is a good point, but I’m not convinced it negates the author’s argument. Consider whether you could pick up that same fragile glass with your eyes closed? I’d wager you could, as you’d still receive (diminished) textile feedback despit

If a bill due at the end of the month is forgiven on the 25th, were expenses cut? What if the debt is forgiven on the 2nd of the next month? I’d wager most people would consider those scenario cuts. However, in your framework, the verbiage

While this claim is plausible, it’s (admittedly pleasing) conjecture until you provide evidence.

Distancing the victim from the outcome of sentencing is by design and, arguably, for the better in a democracy. Crimes violate the social order, not just the victim. It behooves us all to have a system wherein (in theory) the system, not th

This is a shameful false equivalency. In the puppet president scenario you outline, the blast radius is, at worst, 4 years? In the case of an insurrection to subvert the peaceful transfer of power, there is a generation or more of democrati

That’s fine that you want to stay put, but GP is suggesting (I think) that others shouldn’t have to subsidize your choice to live in a rural area where power service is (currently) more expensive.

Hi Peter. I know a little about H1B1 visas and the process of getting one, having worked with many colleagues who are in the US on one, but I don’t fully understand the pros/cons of the H1B1 program from the perspective of the average

In this case, the “shorter frauds” involve dying near the reported date of death? By your definition, the postulated (unreported) deviation is statistically insignificant.

Blood pressure measurements at the doctor are the bane of my (medical) existence. Mix minor white coat syndrome with time blindness and you suddenly have high blood pressure because you barreled up the stairs to the second floor office mome

“Monolith or microservice?” is the maw so many teams cannot debate their way out of. I encourage my team to think in terms of domain (like DDD), similar to the author’s approach of demarcating by “business unit.” If something is a coherent

For those who are more knowledgeable: is this bait for a conservative SCOTUS decision a few years down the road and/or do these legislators think state government should directly fund religious (educational) organizations? If the latte

I used to think this way, but I no longer feel the signal to noise ratio provides meaningful data, in particular because people do rash or unreasoned things and develop odd habits (that they later grow out of) in their 20s. That part of you

I suspect to emphasize enumeration so readers don’t incorrectly parse the sentence. But the text would be even clearer had these speech patterns been omitted altogether.

The settlers were ipso facto the hostile group, as they were settling another people’s land. Otherwise, we’d call them visitors. (edit) My intention wasn’t political correctness but that words are important. “unwanted” is more fitting than

Can you provide data that grounds these claims? How often are children saved from abduction by an iPhone or similar? The schools posit that the social and educational benefits of no smartphones outweigh the (purported) risks of an un-nannie

Consider the case where you are driving slowly and you notice a car speeding at your rear with what appears to be no intention of stopping. A mirror allows you to quickly judge the velocity of the other vehicle so you can consider moving ou

Within the context of the US, tribe can refer to a specific group of Native Americans. Group size is irrelevant, e.g. the Navajo Nation has the largest reservation and 165k members. Each tribe is free to determine its own legal structure, a

The article was published in “jammern” (see byline), so it seems fair game to use. My brain reasoned it meant approx “cry/complain” as the article was registering a grievance: > This jammern is thus about the car

What you described as a safe space can quickly become, ironically, an intolerant one, albeit not for you, as you self-selected by joining. I think OP is addressing the paradox of tolerance, hence the call for differing but not hateful opini
