The problem is that anyone who wants you to prioritize things other than personal autonomy wants to run your life for his own benefit, and anyone who objects to "number go up" wants to impoverish you, again for his own benefit.

Also, in a smaller town the cops are more local. They coach my kids in peewee sports.
And give you a ticket on the way home from the game. And then you have to see them again and either pretend you don't hate them for ruining your day, or win the victory over yourself and accept that you did wrong.

Law-n-order conservatives turn their brain off when they find out the defendant hit a cop (or a woman, for that matter). Nothing more matters; the circumstances are irrelevant, in their minds you Don't Hit Cops. Everyone else likely to be on the jury was already against him.

Well, once you've hit a cop ONCE (and you're white) they're already going to put you away forever. In for a penny, in for a pound.

Yes, but for them an "appropriate age" is probably 35. Overprotective fathers of daughters are a meme for a reason.

One of the drivers of reduced fertility is while fathers do indeed want grandkids, they don't want their daughters actually having sex.

There's really not much excuse for this. There was a verbal confrontation, the white guy made an abortive aggressive move. One of the black guys clobbered him after that (ETA: and another rabbit-punches him after), and while he's still staggering, the cop runs in from out of frame, pushes a bystander woman out of the way, and clobbers him against the gate. At which point he reacts to being clobbered by hitting the cop in the back of the neck, and thereby makes himself a felon (this trick works in the US and conservatives defend it, I might add).
Does anyone know what they were saying at the beginning? "Move, move", but also I think "No more [something]", it might be enlightening to know what the something was.

You can move too far in the other direction; Mr 50 and Ms 32 may be okay now, but when Mr 70 and Ms 52 are together? Too much of an age gap and it ends up where the younger partner is more or less the caretaker for the older one while the younger partner is still near their prime.
First of all, that's not really a good reason to oppose a relationship. Second of all... one partner is rather likely to end up the caretaker of the other one way or another.

But even if vandalism is possible as a major cause for the liner problems, it's compatible with also having poor application, and either option doesn't explain the algae blooms.
Dumping fertilizer in the pool could explain the algae blooms, and fertilizer could be used to burn the grass over on the nearby lawn.
It's all gaslighting; the idea is to make you think it's crazy to think that someone would vandalize the National Mall just to make Trump look bad.

Your Russell conjugation fails because your middle line does describe the same thing. In any case, just because something can be put in the form of a Russell conjugation doesn't mean that's what's going on.

You're definitely going against the current there. 23W generally aren't interested in 18M; in fact, 18W often aren't interested in 18M, they usually want older.

Having a theory of mind is good. Attempting to use said theory to exploit such people as if they were automata is bad.... and often doesn't work.

My understanding is that "schism" in the Catholic usage means 'breaking away from the church'. It's not division, you don't get two churches. You just get the Church and Not!The!Church.
The Schism of 1054 begs to differ.

You're implicitly using the theory (that you seem to agree isn't true) to back up your argument.

And, if you don't like taxes or laws (which are fundamentally the same thing) there is recourse to change them
LOL.

I don’t want your pity. I roll my eyes when people who are never satisfied by anything proclaim that I need to work harder to win their good praise.
Yeah, this is a really effective argument technique against people who assume good faith. If you assume good faith, you will think that evidence will change the mind of their interlocutor. Therefore, if it does not, you must be mistaken. So merely by stubbornly holding positions, they can change their opponent's mind.

Kristoff might still be making up the names and events -- he is a putz -- but I don't think there's any plausible model without at least low three-digit excess deaths from the initial freeze to today.
USAID did a lot of things. It's possible some of them actually caused more deaths. Whether they did or didn't, the net effect appears to be in the noise.

Without context I'm not 100% sure, but I believe American English has long had the first example -- "I see the benefit of that" would be the common construction, whereas "I do see the benefit of that" would only be used for emphasis. Same with the continuous verb conjugations; "I'm using Arch Linux" and "I use Arch Linux" would both be OK, though "using" would be the only correct one if you were actually sitting at your keyboard. I believe Spanish also uses those somewhat interchangeably.

If I had a nickel for every time someone bitched about how a politician's policy was terrible, and I suggested "Well, you could vote for the Republican", and they looked at me like I was suggesting they consume their own children, I'd at least have enough for a can of soda.

No, that's not true; it is accepted that diplomats and children of diplomats are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States for the purpose of that clause, and they can still be deported.

The DSA might lose the Democrats some seats in New Jersey (some of our most Democratic areas are also our most Jewish, and not squishy Palestinian-supporting Jews either), but I'm fairly sure that in general, the social unacceptability of Republicans is deep-seated and effective. The success of Graham Platner --- death's head tattoo guy -- polling ahead of Susan Collins (squishy Republican, often breaks the party) in the Maine Senate race demonstrates that.

The amazing thing is how the extremists really do sound like the conservative caricature of the lefties.
Uh, yeah, because a lot of that isn't conservative caricature. Sometimes conservatives come up with a strawman position that it turns out the left actually holds, but much of the time conservatives are actually merely NOTICING.

Nobody ever called Kennedy a Ugandan Muslim.
Living like 19th century peasant farmers is a terrible solution.
