What does Lindy mean? I tried to google it once, and got some odd line dancing technique.

Super common. Every Latina immigrant receives visions of the exact cutoffs for Medicaid and other government benefits while gestating her first child, along with a MLM/cash business starter kit.

There is no such thing as truth, only competing power narratives. Arguments are soldiers. Consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.
"Midwit" is a title many people can only aspire to.

(noting that in a major city, only the middle of the night is off-peak)
That's still enough to suck. I recently got stuck in Philly after missing the last train after a concert because I didn't realize there was a last train. Luckily I had a nightowl friend who answered an SOS and picked me up... in his car. And then drove me to my car, parked at a transit station outside the city, where I drove home. Sure as hell beat sleeping at the train station with the fent zombies.

But these acts of violence seem so... Aimless? Random? Poorly thought out?
Weimar Germany had a much larger pool of people who were recent veterans with life-long, hands on experience with interacting with physical reality. The average internet communist today has likely never touched a hammer. They expect it to be like a video game on Games Journalist difficulty.
Compare to the difference in outcome when the attacker was not the virulently online, irony-poisoned trans gooner, but his raised-by-grass-touchers boyfriend.

The soccer hatred is very tongue-in-cheek. No one is giving crap to, e.g., the high school soccer team. It's just not a big spectator sport, is all. Overall pretty similar to lacrosse, or the track team.

No. I was really not supposed to have seen it at all, for reasons of decency and privacy and whatnot. But the professor was so flabergasted, so "Chat, is this real? I need another living soul to confirm that I'm not going insane!" that I was permitted to read experience it.
Perhaps I'll make an inquiry if a copy still exists.

How many people know where the governor lives, and would think to do this? Compared to how often people pretend to be attacked to score sympathy points?
Though, I certainly expect it to happen now. Chans are probably organizing carpools and shift rotations.

The progressive reverse to this essay appealing to Biblical inerrancy is an essay appealing to narcissistic, naval-gazing identity-having. I would be surprised if there were zero students in that class who functionally just vomited two pages worth of "AS A BLANK, THIS ARTICLE MADE ME FEEL THAT" - but not as shocked as I would be if one of them were graded harshly.

Fifteen-ish years ago, I saw a paper that was horrendous beyond belief. It was supposed to be an essay on 18th century Europe, and the student handed in a few pages comparing the election of Barack Obama to the Great Depression - in America. And that phrasing still gives far, far too much credit. In five pages, the only sentences that were even coherent were the quotes lifted directly from the Obama campaign website. It was like someone wrote it while on acid, then fed it into GPT1 with instructions to "just fuck my shit up".
Even that student was given an opportunity to write a new paper that was fit for human consumption.

For physics at my university, DiffEq was required for Advanced E&M. I did not know that, and somehow took Advanced E&M first. The experience was... humbling. DiffEq itself later on was much more manageable.
Relatedly, I know at least three people who developed serious depression by taking Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning. I can still scare one of them by saying the words "rigorous proofs" in a Russian accent.

Yeah, it's pretty comparable to where he was a year before winning the White House, the House, the Senate and the popular vote.
Just a quick calibration question, but you did peg Ann Selzer as being full of shit, right?

By that same argument, he doesn't need campaign money ever again.
In the real world, Donald Trump does have an inner life, and also midterms to worry about.

but even literal pirates flying the Jolly Roger in the golden age of piracy would offer quarter if thier target surrendered and offered no resistance.
They did that because taking the ship was still risky and some of them could die. Do you think the average pirate would have still been so merciful if they had the option to push a button and simply delete the defending crew?

In my understanding, judges during the age of piracy were rather the opposite of bleeding-heart liberals. If a hostile judiciary were fighting like hell to let pirates off without serious response because they're poor kids who are nice to black people sometimes, I suspect that summary executions would have made a triumphant comeback.

I had a similar issue with Lucifer's Hammer. I made it a couple hundred pages, and it was about 2% comet related stuff and 98% sordid vingettes about the grubby little sex lives of a wide cast of people I didn't care about.
I seriously wonder if people remember the book fondly, not as scifi, but in the same way I recall the magazines my dad had hidden when I was young.

About 10% of the deaths are attributable to second-hand smoking.
This also feels like a solved problem. I can't think of the last time I was truly exposed to second hand smoke. There's still older waitresses with a time bomb in their lungs, but will there still be by 2040?

It was one of those situations where I was pretty sure that was the case, but couldn't recall any specific details, so I couldn't be sure I wasn't just making assumptions.

So is harm only harm if it's been designated illegal? Seems like we could solve all the drug problems just by legalizing them then.

That's a black sense of humor congruent with most people in a profession where people die. Doctors, soldiers, EMTs, cops, etc. What that actually intends to signal is solidarity with the people who might have to carry out actual violence, over desk-and-degrees leadership a thousand miles away (and their fellow social class members like journalists and general upper class laptop people who take WaPo seriously).
Hegseth's entire pitch for the position was "the purpose of the military is killing people, get back to basics". Getting verklempt over a dark meme is the new R government equivalent of misgendering someone.

If US manufacturers and gun shops were selling guns in the US, and the guns they made and sold were involved in the deaths of ~48,000 a year and used in untold numbers of robberies and other crime, would you be ok with the government using lethal force on the gun shop and manufacturers?
Let's specify "illegal ghost guns" just to highlight the faultlines. In which case, no, because I am not opposed to unregistered ghost guns. But I would bet that approximately 0% of the people upset about the narcoboats would bat an eye if the US government slaughtered a warehouse full of guys 3D printing guns with no warning or warrant or evidence.
Even if they're doing the exact same thing and selling the exact same products.
Cocaine is not legal for sale from US producers. The point of that hypothetical was to change the object-value-valence (guns:good/bad, drugs:good/bad) and see what people's moral intuition came up with.
Don't listen to them. Turn the thermostat down even lower and search for deranged penny-pincher techniques to tolerate the freeze.
