Even then, the article is pure BS. Amazing how it manages to convey both the idea that they are doing the right thing, yet they should de-escalate just because the optics of doing the right thing are bad. They'll never admit they did anything wrong. Quote:"However noble the mission is to rid the country of the “worst of the worst,” the broad support for it is now ebbing fast. [] American people didn’t vote for these scenes, and you can’t continue to order them to not believe their lying eyes."
Yeah, I immediately thought "is that one of those Kaladesh aether-fueled thingies they got all over the place" and couldn't remember the name, then I zoomed in and saw the MTG logo. Good stuff. Not my favorite plane (not when Ravnica, Theros, Innistrad and Amon-Khet exist among many others), but it's okay.
Do you guys think in the future people will talk about "using a time machine and going back to the past to off Trump before he started WWIII by trying invade several countries" the same way everyone currently does about Hitler?
I wouldn't say math is the foundation of ALL (but all applied sciences), but the opposite: It's the best way we have to represent reality.Much in the same way you can explain how a word sounds to someone who's never heard it before by representing it through phonetic signs, you can measure and predict almost every aspect of reality itself (arguably unimaginably far more complex) through math.Buuuuuuut that's just semantics. I love nitpicking.
That's fair.
I know, I'm not trying to start a discussion. I just think it's a great name. And also, people really should inform themselves about names, yeah!
The thing about constantly doubting everything is it requires active effort, and it can be exhausting when you're doing every day, every hour. Sometimes, one might wish for a bit of "solid land" so to speak, some solid, reliable facts one does not feel the need to check.Everyone has an agenda, and people will only tell you what they believe, or wish you to hear, if they don't outright lie.Can't trust oneself either. Find friends who don't just echo your opinions but try to poke holes in them.
I question that all the time. I take every opinion in here with a grain of salt, because I know some users tend to exaggerate some issues while dismissing others. I still like this place. Mostly.Stay skeptic.
My mother always gifted me books for my first 16 years of life. Now I have a permanent addiction to fiction, which is way healthier than the vast majority of fixations.Getting your kid to read may not make them a genius, or immediately set them on the right path, but the skill alone is worth cultivating. What's written is only relevant as long as it's read.
Based on the previous comments, I believe the quote should be amended to include "reading comprehension" somewhere between reading and skepticism.
Why not? They should question it! If you believe earth is not flat but can't prove it is not flat... you simply have faith it isn't. That's unscientific.Doubt it, find out why, and prove it isn't; then, you've earned the right to claim the earth is not flat with full confidence.
That's the spirit.
First one actually irked me a little. Why would she think she named her after a cake? Where does she think cakes get their names from? 99% of "named" cakes are obviously named after someone, or some place (which in turn might be named after someone too, like Europa).Very sloppy of the parents not to research a name before naming a kid, though. I love both names and etymology and I would check its entire tree, variants and formation process.
I think it's nice of people to revive dusty, old names like those, many of them are so pretty it's a shame they are fading away! :( Genoise sounds lovely, honestly.
Original? I'm just stating what is evident, and there's nothing wrong with that! (As a matter of fact, it's like 90% of my job.)It's not like you've added anything productive either, I don't see you proposing a viable alternative or a more interesting point of view, which I would at least read; only dismissing opinions for being too lazy, whatever that means, instead of judging them on their validity. Anyone can do that, too. That's lazy.
Fine, then here's a slightly more nuanced opinion from an outsider. One side's bad; the other, even worse. You don't have a single good option because independents never make it far over there, and nobody without a powerful backing (precisely the type you should avoid) would have a chance either. Enjoy your unofficial oligarchy, I guess.The French had the right idea.
I think it's a lack of imagination. Some people can't comprehend that someone may be capable of committing horrible acts, then doubling down, and then keeping on, without ever looking back. He's not trying to distract, this is just Tuesday for him.
I can honestly say last time we had a field trip I enjoyed the hike far more than the kids did. I just kept pointing every little invertebrate we came across. Nature is awesome.
Clearly they're in a perfect void we can't observe as no energy is lost in any form: we may only infer their position at a given time based on ideal math, converting kinetic to elastic energy back and forth impossibly flawlessly.What looks like a circle is NOT because of space curvature. They don't really gain energy but occasionally move towards the gravitational center.The real question is what the balls are made of if they are in a perfect void, since the only logical answer is "nothing".
Well, if you want an objective answer... Google the 'list of institutions and organizations Trump has closed or defunded'. It's a very, very long list, and some were very necessary. Then google the financial aid orgs and programs. Then google the reports from several government agencies he's also canceled. Very concerning. And he's nowhere near done: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/46-programs-trump-wants-to-eliminate-according-to-his-proposed-budget
My guess would be some parts are best not made public, and I mean the *actual* victims' names, not anything regarding the criminals. Can't copy-paste everything and then redact that specific part, though, so you'll have to do it yourself.
Scrolling down looking for this comment, but this is so much better. Smart.
Came here to say the exact same thing.
It's the 'bullshitting vs lying' thing again. Big difference. It doesn't matter if it's believable or not, enough people will believe it. Can't undo the harm done so easily when he spews hundreds of these dumb lies a day.
Sorry for being a killjoy, but I actually feel bad for the little ones. :( They are so cute.
Lived in Japan for a while already, and Singapore is known to be very expensive... Maybe Indonesia or Philippines, I guess. Already been in most European countries anyway.
No, don't, that's either taxpayer's money, or nature (depending on your location)!! D: Disrespect the rich instead.
I don't think they believe him, I think they simply don't care if he did.
That's the spirit!
Potato leak would be number 1 in the Basque Country, they really love their 'porrusalda'.
