We don’t need to start from Hobbes
Recommends Hobbes as a starting point
I agree 100% but just had a bit of a giggle

For those unaware, a “Yes” vote eliminates the MCAS requirement, a “No” vote keeps it.
Hoping it passes, I’d be glad to see it gone. I had a lot of amazing teachers when I was a student and most of them listed their #1 grievance as having to teach to this test.
Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?
Guessing this is why they changed the term “Apple ID” to “Apple Account”
It’s just incentive for developed nations to produce more automated weapons of war.
I don’t get it. I am trying to reverse push it with my palm but every time I move my hand back the door doesn’t come with it.
Japan, Korea, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, etc. Non-western countries who are also generally prosperous and are known for quality healthcare.
I didn’t mean it in a dismissive way, but there’s a lot more countries than the Northwest Europe Privilege Corridor + their successful colonies. I just think there’s more to compare with that won’t leave the picture feeling so incomplete and Eurocentric.
I know US healthcare is in dire need of improvement, but I do have to find the choice of just 9 other cherry-picked countries to be an odd comparison. If this was rephrased as “US is #10 in healthcare globally”, I still wouldn’t buy that, but that’s essentially what this article seems to imply and doesn’t sound quite as negative as it should.
You’re ok with me losing my rights then, and for that I sincerely resent you.
Religion has very flawed ideas regarding community, however. It always results in a hierarchical structure and works to exclude those who don’t abide by its values.
It is possible to be a good, selfless person and be religious, but I don’t think it’s possible to have religion without enabling power-grabbing, insular practices too.
My gut had me wanting to say the same thing, but looking at the age ranges, this actually seems reasonable and in line with how many other countries operate. By 6 years old, students in the US are in first grade, for example. Kindergarten a year or two prior as well, which is also compulsory in some states.
You’re Mormon and you call yourself a socialist?
Socialism is the antithesis of religion.
Oh no, someone please think about the poor white millionaire’s feelings.
Not a battery but sure, that’s what I was suggesting.
I think the text is pretty direct about permitting it. If it is listed as an exception to that which shall not exist, then it is explicitly allowed to exist.
It’s not a de-facto exception by omission, it is named as permissable within the text of the amendment.
So what other kind of battery would a pager be using that might explode if not lithium? Hydrogen cell?
Sadly the post-civil war amendments include a provision that allows prisoners to be used for unpaid labor.
From the text of the 13th amendment:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Only argument is if the party has been “duly” convicted, which is a recurring issue we see with the US justice system.
Apologies for the Xitter link, but it looks like the main character Atsu is being portrayed by Erika Ishii.
