I realize that but I was following that author’s other posts and they just seem into restricting the rights of everyone to prevent disorderly conduct. So where does it stop??
It was a “throwaway” so I suppose I shouldn’t expect actual discourse.
Why don’t we just ban drinking altogether then? And while we’re at it, if you’re irritated about something perhaps just keep it to yourself. Society doesn’t have time for discontent or deviation from the norm.
Sure, that's "old-fashioned" as a friend once told me (who was a Rhodes scholar.) At the two universities I've attended, the B.S. in physics required more rigor and the B.A. offered more breadth and didn't require as many courses starting in "PHY". I'm guessing it's an American thing too.
Sorry but if you put 10% of your net worth into BlockFi you didn't fully understand the risks. I feel bad for anyone who lost money (a few grand here) but this was all akin to a trip to the casino for me and my expectations were set accordingly.
That is strange and interesting as it seems counter-intuitive since a B.A. in say, physics, is less rigorous than a B.S. from a pure physics/mathematics standpoint.
That's antisocial behavior as we've all learned recently. If you don't eat the fake meat, you'll just spread your clear love for animal cruelty to those around you, even if that's just conjecture.
Anyway, snark aside, I'm curious how this goes because while I'm not apologetic for my place on the food chain, carbon emissions from animal farming are problematic and the price that real meat should cost if we raise them humanely is pretty exorbitant. It will be hilarious to see cattle rustling become a capital offense again.
I used to adore spicy food and about 4/5 Thai spicy was my jam. But sometime in my late-20s my body decided it didn't like it anymore and now if I so much as smell a pathetic jalapeño I have to run to the bathroom. I can eat a couple pickled peppers and get away with it but even "mild+" at whatever Asian establishment is too much.
I remember vividly when Flamin' Hot Cheetos came out (where I lived) and the ruckus they caused at my middle school. We inexplicably had vending machines full of junk food in the main lobby and kids would line up to empty the machines within minutes of lunch hour starting since, at the least, they only turned them on at lunch. They were eventually banned because some administrator discovered that kids were getting "high" from them, and replaced with regular Cheetos. Good job.
Yep it's 100% then. I lost my "entrepreneurial spirit" after being burned more than once by management that wanted me to work my ass off for just a salary and the promise of something nice someday.
Granted I got mine in the end of the last job like that, but it came through pure leverage and nobody's happy about it, myself included.
I still am not reading the NYT piece but the original Denver7 piece which lists these infractions:
- Driving with a broken taillight
- Not wearing a seatbelt
- Driving with minor damage to a bumper
- Driving with a registration that has been expired for less than two months
- Relocating a license plate to another visible part of the vehicle
- Obstruction of view (such as an air freshener placed on the rearview mirror)
The OP added the other article after posting and realizing the weakness of the argument with just the first source, so I'm not addressing it.
I don't know and I'm not participating in this conversation further because of your stealth edit for the NYT piece. Also you're making what I perceive to be a bad-faith argument which was reinforced by your altering your original post in a significant way without saying as much.
