Yes, the problem is reheating the bread, not everything it took to make the bread you glossed over that OP listed. It's the toasting the bread that makes it so bad

Speech elevated to thine mater, Manorie G.

I'm not very good, I forgot to clear a line I filled.

The Big Lebowski

Do they really maintain a monopoly on violence though? Almost anyone can get a gun. Moreso now than most recent points in American history if I understand the recent decisions regarding constitutional carry. Whether you're on the right talking about "urban crime" and how Chicago's daily forecast is supposed to be a storm of bullets, or on the left trying to do something about nutjobs with AKs in elementary schools and grocery stores, it's pretty easy to see the government doesn't maintain a monopoly on violence.

It means we should be cool with dead kids because some guys in powdered wigs liked to stay strapped.

Everything else aside, how is he the IVth if his father the IIIrd has a different name?

They're saying your initial point about him being literally one thing, not Trump, may lack a bit of nuance. If there's nuance, then maybe there's room for a book about the guy. If you took a second to comprehend what's said to you instead of getting ready for an argument maybe you'd save yourself some time. If you just want to scream into the wind with no response stand on a cliff.

Yes, being comoditized by a corporation. True socialism comrade. Truly we've seized the means of production.

No, not fully, but I was pretty active in our church growing up. That has its own issues but I definitely hung out with outer kids my own age, older and younger kids, old people, and people with mental and physical disabilities multiple hours a day multiple days a week.

Kind of a poor take. "Don't have an amazing first part of your life because the rest won't be equally amazing."

At least it's one target to fight to fix rather than every small town's own shitty way to be shitty, and blue states would in theory try to counter the red state shittiness.

There are absolutely awful homeschooling parents out there but it really is up to the home in question doing the schooling. My Mom would, every semester, find text books covering the topics you normally have in school, and then some, and make a weekly plan out of it. I was given the plan, the books, and an essay to have written about topics presented by the end of the week. It was encouraged to cross topics, so for example I might read Tom Sawyer, then read a history book about the real steamships that were on the Mississippi, then the steam power that moved the ships and the science behind that. Not every parent can or will do that, but I just mean to say like, not all homeschooling parents are making antisocial disorganized idiots with no work ethic. I'm only anticisocial and disorganized.

You're not wrong but you picked "museum" and ignored "volunteering at library" where they meet many kinds of people, learn to help them with their problems, learn to navigate an office environment, etc.

I hadn't considered that but you're right, there are some powers that just don't work if the good guys have them.

That's a fair point, but at the same time the desert is well known for being the harshest of all environments on earth. It's surprising so many people treat it like just a drive to the store.

Actually this one time they infiltrated a three letter agency.

Hey fellow American. Yeah, sorry, we didn't declare war as legally defined when we went over there. You shoulda probably checked.
