I think the main contention with pineapple on pizza is that pizza is often a shared meal. Burgers wouldn't be an issue there.

Revoking citizenship is a bad president.

He's actively aiding and abbeding the government of a hostile foreign nation that has vocally demanded we scede our sovereignty and surrender our territory to them.

He should be charged with treason.

It should also be noted that you are not required to swear on the internet.

They try to make a distinction when referring to kilocalories as Calories, it's literally just that Calorie (kcal) is capitalized and calorie (cal) is not.

It's a dumb system.

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best is now.

I read explodicle's comment as a reply to DeSantis who said "She has no role in this" in his rant.

Which of these candidates do you think will be more willing to have their minds changed with protests and petitions?

Nothing is going to be easy or perfect, but we can at least choose the most likely candidate that is slightly more aligned with our desired outcome and then fight for what is needed.

It's percentage of the entire population, if you organized everyone from lowest to highest IQ, what percentage of the entire population would you need to include for them to be in the top. It's a little clearer when a point of interest is near the top. E.G. "person is in the top 1% of people in terms of wealth."

A less kind way to say it is '91% of people have a higher IQ than this person'.

I imagine if my occupation includes carrying a gun, interacting with citizens, and a historically high rate of extrajudicial deaths amongst people I am supposed to be protecting. A publicly accessible camera would be beneficial to easing the minds of those I interact with and providing evidence for any actual instances where I felt my life was threatened.

The democratic convention hasn't happened, Biden was only ever just the presumed candidate. Trump is the oldest U.S. presidential candidate there has ever been.

I imagine that he is equating the spectrum back to the rainbow, where red is the 'top' of the visible arch when a single rainbow is seen from the ground.

Of course the outer ring from a double rainbow flips the order of the colours, but that's probably being needlessly pedantic.

The way it's set up it sure looks like Saskatchewan is still technically collecting the tax and just paying the amount right back from their own budget. And Saskatchewan citizens are still getting the carbon payouts from Ottawa.

Saskatchewan citizens will still have to pay for Moe's stupidity, but the deficit will be in the Saskatchewan budget, not an individual extra tax bill.

Mainly means that Moe will just continue to destroy Education and Healthcare, which was his main goal anyway.

It's not that hard to fold sheet metal into three sides. I'm not sure why these are notable in any way at this point.

Linnaean taxonomy classifies apes and monkeys as two closely related groups. This is the classification system most people are taught in grade school.

Cladistics is a style of classification that seeks to organize species and groups of species from when they branched off of other groups of species. In this style, everything is defined by novel features, but they are still members of the more ancient clade. Birds for instance, would be a novel clade emerging from Dinosaurs, and thus all birds are also dinosaurs, but not all dinosaurs are birds.

Because there are two groups of monkeys with unique characteristics (new world and old world), and apes have unique adaptations not found in either group, we have no way of cladistically defining a monkey in a way that meaningfully does not also include apes.

As a side note, this is where the phrase "there is no such thing as a fish" comes from. 'Fish' in the Linnaean sense are a huge and diverse category. Two random members of the fish class would likely be far, far more distantly related than a random mammal and a random reptile.

Probably until either the nurses stop panicking in my local area or the immunocompromised people in my life die of a preventable illness.

Are some options for people who don't want clothing that is skintight and revealing.

I've very occasionally seen brands like this at box stores. But the vast majority of time if you want something that isn't skin tight you have to get shorts designed for men and some sort of sports top with a shirt.

Yes. Baggy clothing isn't optimal for swimming, and trunks will tend to stick awkwardly anyway, but a lot of guys would feel uncomfortable if speedoes were the only option. I know I would.

It's a double standard plain and simple.

Maybe people are setting it up at home using a numberpad? In that case it would be just running a finger down the left side.

Of course, "always cheaper" in this case means less money up front, but much, much expensive more down the road than the initial cost.

Of course, the down the road cost isn't usually that visibly connected to the "make it illegal" plan, so conservative governments love it.

It might be similar to a Motte and Bailey Fallacy. Though that one is more focused on distinct but related definitions than it is for distinct but related situations. Not the exact one that you are looking for, but the related concepts might be a path towards an answer.

You don't necessarily need to roleplay, but something like "I would like to play on their guilt by seeming hopeless." or "I would like to bring up the horrible acts of the orc warlord to stoke their anger." or "I would like to convince them to help by pointing out how their oaths may apply in this situation." would really help sell the specifics. If you are just trying a flat check I have no real way to know what you are planning on doing other than just sort of charmingly asking "Please?"
