I feel like she is clever, but I don't think it is a good idea to box in the students and teacher like that on one side of the classroom. I don't know much about guns, but isn't it possible for typical high performance/power guns to circumvent the protection of that kind of material?

Yes. One thing that sort of surprised me was seeing a tent near a freeway that had a tripod with a small solar panel near it which I imagine is for charging a laptop or phone battery. It's not something I would expect a homeless person to have.

The Riddler Trophies in Asylum were actually fun to collect. Arleen Sorkin, Harley Quinn's original voice actor from Batman: TAS voices her in Asylum. Asylum also seemed to borrow a lot of details of what I think of as "comic book" Batman. By this, I mean the Batsuit didn't look gritty and the boots/gloves weren't ugly like they were in City. Lastly, Asylum's vibe was superior because the setting and story actually made you feel sort of endangered and trapped, despite being Batman with all his gadgets. Minor detail, but I'm pretty sure Batman's character model in Asylum grows some stubble throughout the course of the game as his Batsuit gets damaged. They didn't have that in City...

Better: Texas (although there might be other better states like Washington, Florida, or Colorado. But, I just haven't been to those others to visit.)

Worse: Arizona (but I don't think it's a "bad" state. I just named this one because I've been there and I also know this state's association with potential racial profiling issues, attempting banning of ethnic studies, and the Sheriff Arpaio.)

Yeah, think of it this way, what he did on certain platforms was bad enough for Apple, Facebook, and Spotify, but he didn't do the same things on Twitter, which is why he still has a platform there. Plus, it's not like you're breaking the law by listening to what he has to say. Hence, there is no censorship.

Well, if you are a vegan who supports abortion, then I imagine your thought process is that egg farming is inhumane because it causes pain to the chicken. You would probably also believe that fetuses are not sentient and do not feel pain.

Do you see how their reasoning is now? I bet that most pro-choice vegans refuse to eat eggs not because they do not want to destroy potential life, but rather because they do not like the farming practices used to acquire eggs. Sure, you might ask "What about free-range eggs, or foraging for wild eggs?" but that goes beyond what is being discussed in this thread.

From what I remember, the catch is that your minutes that you purchase do not last forever. They will all expire after a certain amount of time if you do not purchase more airtime.

Most plans don't let you roll minutes over month to month, including my current plan. Hardly a caveat...

But the thing is that if it's a pay-as-you-go phone, you might think you are entitled to keep all the minutes you bought. It's not like you have the phone as part of a contract plan.

This is called a "negative externality." My gut reaction is to think, "let her sell her cookies in peace." But maybe the neighbors have a point. It's just that they went too far in involving the police I think. You can usually solve issues like this in-person.

Make me two parts of 10 such that each part multiplied by itself, and the one multiplication taken from the other leaves 49. I ask what are the parts.

I ended up writing
x + y = 10
x^2 + xy + y^2 = 49.

That's not the right interpretation though. Apparently the correct approach is this:

x + y = 10
x^2 - y^2 = 49


Hint: "taken from the other" means subtraction somehow.

Does it make sense, or do you find these word problems to be tricky too?

Not an oxymoron, just a caveat you have to include because otherwise people would be going "hurr durr you wanna abort 8 month fetuses"

A true pro-choicer supports up to any time.

Nah, it's just something that pro-life people focus on because very few U.S. Americans support late-term abortions.

Pro-life. People shouldn't be able to get away with murder and people who are pro choice should be thankfully their parents weren't.

But imagine if everyone thought like that. Sometimes you have to take positions that might have worked against your better being for the good of society. Just as a little analogy, I am not fond of murderers at all, but I wouldn't want society to apply the death penalty on them, even if it supposedly serves as a deterrent.

In 1997, you could touch a girl's forearm without being sent to a re-education camp, so my guess is that the other guy had already earmarked the girl for himself, and was asserting his alpha status over you.

This honestly reads as a white guy preaching white privilege to me

thats nice dear

however i'm a black guy born in africa who speaks four languages

english is easy as piss

I have heard that English is easy too, but as a person who is around Spanish-speakers, I disagree. I think it is very hard for them to speak it well, but it's probably just a cultural thing.

I genuinely think that learning to read and speak Spanish is super easy. Sure, listening comprehension and picking up new vocab might be difficult, but the other components never felt difficult as long as you practice.The pronunciation is always consistent. Even the accents are easy because they also follow pretty consistent rules. Then, anecdotally, so many different kinds of people in the USA who aren't native speakers of Spanish can get such a good grasp of it that it surprises me. I don't know if I'd be able to do the same thing with their own native language.

Everyone wants to claim that it's such a meaningful book, yet 95% of those people support statism in one fashion or another. Not a critique of the book, rather an observation of the cognitive dissonance amongst most of the populace.

Yes! This is something that I thought recently about the ending of MGS 2. One side tends to think of it as the dangers of political correctness gone amok and society having contradictory cultural values, and the other thinks of how dangerous it is to allow just the "strong" interest groups to propagate their cultural values to society at large.
