Last time I checked, "innocent until proven guilty" was still a foundational principle of Western law. Certain factions may be working hard to chip away that foundation with the intent of enforcing an ideological homogeny, but it&

The goal was not that "everybody knows your name"; only that one's identity be well-known enough that it will not be forgotten, or at least (in this particular case) be rediscoverable. So the point is not undermined at all.

For a while there I was two-solving Letterboxed on an almost daily basis, but it regularly took 20-30 minutes to do. I couldn't bear to three-solve it knowing a two-word solution existed, so I hut a stretch where I started not finishi

I made the mistake of opening this on my phone. It is technically playable in that tapping the screen causes the sprite to fire and teleport around the screen. It is not feasibly playable this way, though, because movement range seems l

Note that in your example, it's not the athletes that are being toxic (usually), it's the spectators. It's common for sports fans to say things like, "we're playing Los Angeles next week" or "we picked up

I think a better (but less concise) way to phrase it is: "I shouldn't have to think to use your interface, because that's bandwidth I won't have available to think about your content." Thinking of this way creates a

In this case, it's because the teacher is now left not knowing whether they have an opening in their schedule for the student or not. This is a freelance teacher who is responsible for finding her own clients and managing her own sched

Is this not exactly what was meant by "the tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants"? We treat government like a monument to be preserved for posterity, but it is not. Government

Yes, there's no direct land route for Taiwan's allies to use, but the same is true of Chinese forces trying to get onto the island. Their supply routes may be shorter than Taiwan's, but they are just as vulnerable. Both side

There's quite a lengthy article there. It sounds like you might have a connection problem.

One could also argue that the courts and/or government are tilted in favor of one false narrative over the other, and thus refuse to investigate or hear arguments against their chosen channels. I'm not arguing that this is or is

Yes, but where does the US launch them? China can launch a swarm of these from the Pacific and guarantee they'll overfly the US and Canada due to the jetstream. Where can the US military launch a counterswarm that won't have to ov

Thank you for providing some local perspective. These things don't just happen in a vacuum but it can be hard to discern the threads that got us here without eyewitness accounts.

If you live in an area with a craft brewery scene, ask them about which night of the week is slowest. Offer to host an event... trivia, board games, a hobby meet up, whatever you are interested in... you can even make it a destination for a

My interpretation of that comment was, "I'm not in favor of increasing the size of government, but I'd rather see a government labor board exist than another union."

You're absolutely correct regarding tips being a "subsidy for the business". The reason "tipped minimum wage" (where it exists) is lower than actual minimum wage is because the business claims a "tip credit&q

This is already how the price of labor in a global market works. In many companies, virtual workers are already paid on a scale based on their home market price, not the market price where their company is located. If that's how virtua

Point well made. This is not a military autocracy. Neither the military nor law enforcement should have any special privileges with regards to violating the law or the established rights of the citizens. Too many supposedly intelligent peop

Do you think that those invasions went well for the people of Afghanistan and Iraq? Do you think there were no armed gangs in those countries? Do you think the U.S. has any prurient interest in repeating or revisiting those operations?

Since we're discussing pedantic grammar rules here anyway (sorry): the problem here is not that the rule is inconsistent, but rather that you are applying the wrong rule. "Its" is not merely a modification of the possessive

I've always seen it as part of someone's profile or status message. But more often, it's just sort of a silently agreed-upon philosophy among our team. "Hello" without context isn't ignored, exactly, but it&#x2
