Everyone is picking the lesser of two evils in our electoral system. If you view abortion as the killing of nearly a million babies a year, what is that evil held up to the evil trump commits? If it was actually babies, I think even most democrats would pick Trump over the party that wants to be allowed to kill a million 1 month olds. Most people just don’t view those as the same thing.
“Bobo gonna try” I think the main part that falls into AAVE. A more standard English form would be like, “Bobo is gonna try.” But AAVE will often drop the auxiliary verbs from phrases. Another example would be “I seen you” instead of “I’ve seen you.”

I think the second sentence makes it not. If the guy didn’t have a really good reason for doing so, the other people on the plane wouldn’t have supported his actions. It’s clickbaity. But the title to me makes it sound like the guy might be a hero.
If you don’t care about visuals, the podcast is free and is just the audio from the show.
Your brain just kind of edits those mistakes out even if you do proofread. I’m sure you’ve seen examples like this before:
Being super harsh about it is really odd.
Not really. Usually actually kind people don’t tolerate being in a group with a douchebag. And douchebags often like hanging out together because they’re less likely to have their douchebaggery pointed out to them.
Not really. Unless you want to argue that people who preferred Bernie wouldn’t vote for her in the general because they preferred Bernie in the primary. But I kind of suspect those people wouldn’t have liked her even if Bernie didn’t run.
This goes through the legal cases in the US and UK that establish it isn’t generally a requirement to maximize shareholder value above all else: https://legislate.ai/blog/does-the-law-require-public-companies-to-maximise-shareholder-value
Do yours freak out when you put your re-usable bags in the bagging area even when you tell it you’re using 4 of your own bags? Or have two barcodes on packages and if the wrong one scans (either because you aren’t sure which needs to be scanned or because they’re next to each other and you don’t get a gun), you need a cashier to override? Or have weight sensors that are just wrong about how much items should weigh? Or only have enough room for like 2 bags of groceries but it isn’t ok to take any out of the bagging area?
I don’t think it’s just customers.
Right? As far as I can tell, the nomination is his as long as he’s eligible. He doesn’t need people dying to get it.
Oil doesn’t fix alignment of gears. Ideally, you need to precisely go in and realign the exact gear. But we don’t have that power. So we’re throwing rocks.
You can decide all clovers have 3 leafs. That doesn’t mean 4 leaf covers stop existing or are wrong.
You can decide “but” is only for contradictions. That doesn’t mean people won’t use it other ways or it’s wrong.
You can decide all men have penises. That doesn’t mean some won’t or that’s wrong.
You deciding shit doesn’t actually change reality. And being pissy about it is as idiotic as suing 4 leaf clovers for you thinking they should only have 3 leafs.
Someone remembering you as a human being with hopes and aspirations and congratulating you on accomplishing them without attaching any weird come on? Absolutely lovely.
It isn’t some herculean task unless you have bad social anxiety. Mentioning it at the customer service desk as you walk in to do your shopping is probably less effort than taking a picture and posting it here.
Black communities were not hesitant because… other forms of health care cost a lot of money.
This was not the issue with the health care system being pointed out. It’s that the health care system is fine with harming you if it will result in making them money. The opioid epidemic has hit many of these conservative communities hard. It’s not assigning some heroic intentions to them. It’s simple mistrust of something they know doesn’t give a damn about them.
Shouldn’t the plug be bigger than the hole so it can’t be pushed all the way out?

You’re so steeped in a Christian culture, you seem not realize it. Just like there are atheistic Jewish people, who participate and identify with Jewish culture, there are large swaths of people who are atheists but participating in Christian culture. I don’t think anyone would seriously argue that passover isn’t a religious holiday even if many atheists are celebrating it.
Why is English so ridiculous that the plural and singular of deer is the same word? And why do people want to keep it that way?
