Yes, you do understand this goes both ways? You understand democrats come off as Halloween villains to much of the country?
Trump is an aesthetician. He governs on a platform of, essentially, ‘I’m the tsar and I’m gonna look like it’. Yeah, aesthetics. And he baits democrats into the vanguard party damn-fool aesthetics.

Arguably Singapore? It’s legal to criticize the people’s action party despite not being super-pro-free speech in general.
They might not honor it perfectly in the breech, I suppose.

Yeah, a quarter million American black bears wouldn’t be that dangerous.

There aren’t that many grizzly bears in the world, so it won’t be that dangerous.

The key, like with silver booms, is probably not to try to ride it to the absolute peak- yes you don't make the most profit selling when there's still room to go up, but you get more than if it's started to decline.

Math teachers in general are bad at their jobs, because they're people who 'just get it' and don't need much teaching, so they assume everyone else is like that too. The best math teacher I ever had was a seminarian randomly assigned by his superior to teach high school algebra- clearly very intelligent, but had needed to actually study to learn the material.

Bears kill an average of 2 people per year in North America, so without googling, I'm gonna go with 'less than five'.

The country is still about 40% YEC.

By rejecting the same evidence for long time frames that they already reject?

Obviously we know what was wrong with him- he’s a bad person. That’s an uninteresting question(even in societies that accept wifebeating and constant drunkenness not providing is generally seen quite poorly). The question is ‘why did she make this knowably bad decision’ because she didn’t want to be beaten and abused.

You do realize that kicking in your sleep is a not-uncommon behavior, and people who have nightmares in which they lash around tend to have lots of them?
Like this guy doesn’t sound like a catch either way, but it’s not like that breaks thé Laws of physics.

This doesn’t affect your broader point very much, but it’s a nitpick that bothers me- ‘concubine’ is not a term for ‘sex slave’. Those did(and still do) exist and are not the same thing. A concubine was a woman who was very similar to a wife, but got a worse deal(usually with stuff like divorce, inheritance, etc). In some societies(such as our own) this was a common-ish form of common law marriage and in others this was a way of regulating the mistresses of wealthy men- these were separate institutions which happen to have the same word in English. But they did have a few similarities- it tended to be acceptable to take a lower status(either enslaved or free) woman as a concubine in a way that wasn’t allowed for a wife, they had far fewer protections from domestic violence or divorce(most premodern societies did have some, even if inadequate), and they didn’t get a formal wedding, but lived in the same household as their husband(this was the term used) who had the obligation to support them, but not at the same level as he would a wife.
This was the ancients regulating cohabitation, and in some cases thé man also had a wife in the same household. It was not some foreign institution that was a case of premodern horror imposed by the patriarchy- we embraced the custom when stepping away from the patriarchy, after all.

Or they're imprinted on that as ‘how a man acts’. Maybe because daddy did. Unfortunate but true.

I mean, in a sense it is thé fault of society- we have a norm that adults get to make their own bad decisions about relationships. You will find other horror stories from Afghanistan or Saudi Arabia, but probably not this one. Either of these two.

Alternate explanation: most women do not like jerks(at least not jerks to them), but in any group as large as ‘all women’ you can find exceptions to the trend. You can find plenty of men making terrible dating choices too. It’s not hard.

Don’t forget the Bible also says that man was wiped out and had to start over.

Iran is insane, not retarded. Do you really think they haven’t planned for their equipment not having access to external power.

The Stone Age is an idiom. I can’t say what Doug Wilson’s personal beliefs on the progression of human history in light of creation are, but it’s entirely possible to hold to the belief in a (short tbh) Stone Age while taking the first 11 chapters of genesis 100% literally- this is just sneering.

Yep, there's a handful of British colonial cities that were supplied by rail(Johannesburg etc) and the American sun belt(and big rig trucking is overstated; DFW gets a heck of a lot of its supply by train heading into Fort Worth). It's a rail/prerailroad distinction.

Yeah, but the owners were also mostly neutral; they were generally somewhat allied with the US but 'US allies that are wealthy' is not a notably more pro-Iran war group than 'US allies with lax maritime regulations'.

It's worth noting it goes both ways; Europe's treatment of its native red tribe does not endear it to American reds, who then find offending the EU elites to be totally acceptable if not good.

Precharged units have a special fitting on either end of the lineset that allows them to stay sealed, even when disconnected. There is a higher failure rate, but whether that justifies paying what I'd charge you for side work is in the eye of the beholder and it definitely doesn't justify what a company would charge you. The bigger issue is that this is almost certainly going to be manufactured by an el cheapo manufacturer, so you're not buying the highest quality unit.
Electrical service shouldn't be difficult, if you're not comfortable running power you shouldn't be doing self install.
The Germans, thé UK, the Canadians, in fact most of Europe…
