Nah, I’m ok with it.

The quote says “if war actually be levied, that is…”

So you see the phrase “that is”? In the English language, we understand that to mean defining the preceding term. The words following “that is” are therefore defining what it means to levy war in this context.

And it’s easier to find interpretations of the term by modern judges than to dig through English case law, so here’s one: https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/5914a8e8add7b04934706331

You’re deliberately interpreting “war” in the narrow sense of conflict between countries, but that’s not the extent of the definition in English common law where the phrase came from.

A group attempting to effect by force a treasonous purpose is sufficient, as clearly stated in the quote.

I said you were silly because it was more polite than calling you stupid, and in neither case is it referring to the issue of traffic deaths.

And now you’ve changed your tune talking about pedestrians which has nothing to do with the topic.

It is in no way clear that it doesn’t meet the definition. An armed group attacked our capital for the purpose of overthrowing the government.

“ Chief Justice Marshall was careful, however, to state that the Court did not mean that no person could be guilty of this crime who had not appeared in arms against the country. He stated: On the contrary, if war be actually levied, that is, if a body of men be actually assembled for the purpose of effecting by force a treasonable purpose, all those who perform any part, however minute, or however remote from the scene of action, and who are actually leagued in the general conspiracy, are to be considered as traitors.”

Not really conclusive as there have been increases in speeding and drunk driving that cause total accident numbers to go up. A more relevant stat would be fatality or injury rates per accident.

What a silly thing to say. On what basis have you decided they don’t yield good results?

Meh, I think it’s a stretch to blame IBM for the Centos thing. Red Hat did that on their own and themselves deserve whatever criticism is warranted. It’s a wholly owned but independent subsidiary, so not like IBM is in the middle management chain at all.

But the lack of reporting hasn’t changed, has it? So if the old numbers and new numbers are both underreported, can’t we still compare them and see a decline?

I think it’s because there is nuance in the wording. It doesn’t say “dollar amount”, it says “worth”, and the worth of a thing can be more than its dollar amount.

Infinite hundreds is “worth more” in a sense because it’s easier to use, and that is added value!

I think it’s enough to stop engaging with Reddit, there’s not much point in worrying about what you’ve already posted there imo.

What do you mean by a Covid safe setting? Just wear a mask, you’re in and out in minutes. All the pharmacists wear masks too so just keep your distance from anyone else, or go when they aren’t busy, etc.

What’s the strategic goal of giving up? It’s not like Israel wasn’t murdering Palestinians before hostages were taken, so why do you think they’d stop?

Maybe the strategic goal is to force the world to see what’s happening.

Go back then

If you meet an asshole on the way to work, then you met an asshole. If everyone you meet all day is an ass, the problem is likely with you!

It only proves your hypocrisy as you’re being toxic yourself.

Complacency and entitlement. Like letting a guy merge into you instead of evading because “well he was supposed to yield!” People will fully crash their car if they think they’re “right”.

Oh look, it’s one of those bootlickers now! Remember kids, police can do no wrong and if they hurt or kill you, it’s because you didn’t show the proper deference due to your masters!

Sounds like you agree.

And yet here you are, doing exactly that. You literally said calling it a genocide was incorrect.
