Some people think the president can just do whatever they want.

Probably can't avoid everything Disney, but I will try avoiding situations where they could physically harm me or my family.

In exchange, Microsoft can give them some special access or special keys or some backdoor.

They might be doing this. The thing is, putting something like that in makes so much more likely you'll accidentally create an exploit for other actors as well. It's why security experts are so against backdoors. They fundamentally compromise security.

All eggs sold in stores in the US are pre-washed. It's why they need to be refrigerated, unlike most other places.

I think absent bowel sounds generally means no shitting. Bowels are apparently pretty noisy when they're digesting.

At this point, the prime republican demographic is uneducated white men. There are a lot more of them than the rich ones. And they vote for Trump even if they don't usually vote.

Yeah, but since 2000, it's been the republican color. We were pretty over the whole communism thing at that moment in time.

I don't think anyone here is disputing that it's a war. They just want an acceptable, concise way to say "the part of the war where Ukraine brought the fighting into Russia."

The presented scenario was comparing not forgiving loans to not releasing people for drug convictions. I don't see how you can say going into debt for an education was a poorer choice than risking a conviction and jail time for weed.

The illegal part is key to it being at least as stupid. A drug conviction can change your life just as surely as student debt.

You can want it all you want. It's just not reality. And pretending like it is isn't helpful to people trying to learn the language.

SCOTUS doesn't interpret the state constitution. The state courts do that. SCOTUS then takes the state interpretation as fact and judges if it violates the supremacy clause of the US constitution.

Doing illegal drugs is at least as dumb a choice as getting into debt to get an education.

Most countries have some waivable rights. The US specifically allows you to waive your right to bring disputes to court through contracts. You retain the ability to challenge the arbitration requirement in court, but if you have any other concerns, it's arbitration.

If 1/5 of people can't "correctly" function in society in some specific way, you have to at least wonder if it's them who is wrong or society.

Boomers would also not be having enough kids to meet replacement by that graph.

It would be a contraction of had: "I had better write..." Using would there doesn't make sense.

I think that predictability is the crux of the surprise about her being charged. I don't think I could say anything to start national riots. Maybe that isn't true, but I would never assume that would be the consequences of one of my tweets. Who is this woman that she should have expected she had that kind of influence?

I have yellow tape measurers that are like a quarter inch wide. It's not that rare.

I can cover the whole moon with my thumb. Is the moon the size of my thumb?

If I hold a ruler about mid-chest, I can get this effect.
