I can’t imagine doing it as a parent. My kids drowning is a pretty big, realistic fear. Maybe for a teenager? Even then though…

People didn’t know Biden dropped out of the race until they were looking at the ballot. There is no end to the ignorance.

How do you do that? Unless they’re your kid, you don’t usually have that kind of control over another person.

That’s not who you voted for but that you voted in the election.

The swerving at them was when coming back off the curb into the road, I think. If there was a curb between them, there’s no way the cyclist was preventing him from passing.

Edit: crappy drawing

Only if there’s solution you can bring about that isn’t one of the evils.

You are morally responsible in some degree for 20 people dying rather than 10. Though, in that example, I seriously doubt that most people would think the moral choice is to shoot the 10 people. Probably because we instinctually know that wouldn’t be the end of it or none of the deaths seem inevitable.

Yes, you can. It’s just a trolley problem, and you’re choosing to not flip the switch. It’s still your choice and has consequences.

Except the other option is worse. And you are complicit in whoever wins if you don’t vote at all.

It doesn’t understand .co.uk domains.

I would like some houses without people. Having a little surplus is usually a good thing. So like if some houses become unlivable, we have houses for the suddenly unhoused people.

Any kind of executive policy to ignore laws works kind of like this. DACA, the lack of federal prosecution for Marijuana, etc. The current administration doesn’t allow it, but you can still face consequences later.

Caffeine is physically addictive. You get withdrawals if you’re addicted and stop cold turkey. It does vary person to person. But most people get a splitting headache.

That’s because they are. It’s just a socially acceptable drug addiction.

I prefer something like clover to astroturf, but your local climate may vary.

It’s a consonant. Specifically it’s the voiced palatal approximant represented as ⟨j⟩ in IPA.

The Windows is not free. The OEMs pay a license fee and that cost is passed on to people buying those computers.

It generally takes months. It’s not like women can lactate just by pushing their nipples either.

In the ordinary course of events, they need to get pregnant, build up all the ducts and milk producing cells, and then get the right combination of hormones to trigger milk production. And then you have to keep removing that milk, or it stops.

You can get people not going through pregnancy to lactate by giving them the hormones. Recovery from famine can also produce the needed hormone spike.

Women are very good to have an amazing time with.

Introverts don’t not want social connection. They just prefer a smaller number of deeper connections. “You’re not people” is a common sentiment from introverts to their closest friends and family. Most introverts still have and enjoy social connection. They just prefer it in an intimate or chill setting to large groups.
