How could this possibly be ruled as Constitutional? Let alone any remaining shadow of ‘party of small government’ irony, that shipped sailed into the West a long, long time ago.

There’s also a third audience most people don’t consider: everyone reading the thread that isn’t engaging directly.

You might not convince the direct ‘opponent’ in an internet debate, but can still make an impact on others that might be more open to listening to a new perspective.

You should feel bad for having this perspective. Reflect on that and try to be better in the future!

Are the police the correct organization to handle a potential dog bite?

You just made that shit up. This proposal hasn’t even been put in place so how could anyone know for certain that would happen??

And fully supported by Synology, too! They are pretty good at embracing the community while still keeping security as a priority.

Not sure what that has to do with the police, but they should have recommended a company to to help with cleanup at least.

Yeah, but it kinda makes him a hypocrite now, don’t it?

Most sitcom actors run into that. I’m sure Jim Parsons won’t ever be seen as anyone else, or for an older example all of the cast of Seinfeld (arguably besides Julia).

It means the same as “spy”, in my experience.

Let’s not forget the prosecutors!

Conspiracy theorists always see connections where there’s nothing. Reality doesn’t need to conveniently align to make that possible.

Oh wow, that last part about wars in the middle east being a conspiracy is totally new to me. I suppose it’s no less unbelievable than the planet being a flat disc or moon landing hoaxes.

I know this from personal experience after reading the entirety of the Left Behind book series as they were published. At the start I was spending my summers in the equivalent of that Jesus Camp documentary, and by the time I finished was at the end of my personal deconversion journey and come out the other side as an opinionated college atheist.

So, yeah, quite terrifying to see that kink for the apocalypse continue to play out in front of us.

There’s a handful of kids getting real degrees that aren’t trying to go pro, but their basically the minority now.

This is hyperbolic, although certainly has a base in reality. Lots of players are getting free educations along the way to deluding themselves they will play professionally. Are there a lot of kids that don’t take academics seriously and are there ways to get an easy degree, sure, but it’s not like non-athletes don’t pursue similar strategies, too.

There are still standards they have to meet, and not every player on the team is getting a scholarship. It’s actually more common now than when I was in school for athletes to just decide to stop playing. Their scholarships (at least in the major conferences) are still honored and they can still graduate.

The majority of players that get drafted may never have taken their education seriously, but the majority of players that never even sniffed that opportunity probably did.

That video is included in the article, it’s just at the very bottom for some reason.

Russia and Iran have already won this round. Palestinians will be paying the price.

I should just start over and try again, probably did something silly that screwed things up.

The role is to lead the majority coalition, which currently means no Dems allowed. GOP made those rules, they have to follow them just like everyone else.

Hamas is not all Palestinians.
