That article is trash.
It offers no details about what the bill actually says or does, just what the senators say it does. It's only reporting the horse race aspects of it's passage, which is the least important part.

Anything that verifies the claims the senators are making.
If you're a reporter trying to inform people about a bill that passed, you should have people read it and find out what it actually does, instead of just quoting the people who probably passed without reading it themselves.

My reading of the bill is useless, because I'm not a lawer, or trained in reading these sorts of legal documents. I can't tell what's important or not. And I don't have a week/month to understand it.

For anyone curious, Manhattan is just under 23 square miles (59 square kilometers)

I don't have a problem with you.
As I said, you're doing the only thing you can. I can't fault you for that. Nothing I wrote was in anger, or meant to be combative. I expect that offline you're a perfectly kind and decent person. I wish you all the best. Truly.

You are right. There is no debating the meaning behind things built by people who are long dead. Because as I said, what they mean to us today is whatever we want. It perfectly represents one thing to you, and another entirely different thing to me, and something neither of us imagined to someone else. There is no debate there.

I think that slavers don’t deserve monuments [...]
Lincoln himself did not personally own slaves, but [yada, yada, yada]

You're just making a different shift here.
Shifting the definition of slaver, from one commonly understood usage, to your own personal version.

But that doesn't even matter, as you admit that's not the reason you don't like it.
The reason you don't like it, isn't any rational practical reason. It's an ideological dogmatism. A decree. Because you don't like it, other's shouldn't be allowed to. Which is kind of funny coming from "an outspoken anarchist".

I just want people to understand what the thing they're liking actually represents,

It doesn't actually represent anything. It's a public pool.
You just imagine it represents something. Something specific to you.
Just as anyone else could imagine it represents anything else.

And what you really want, is to convince others your imagining is real. Because you believe it is. And since you can't choose what you believe or don't, all you can do is try to convince others to believe what you do.

The reflecting pool is part of the Lincoln Memorial.
Yes, that Lincoln. The one who freed the slaves.

That's called Shifting the Goalpost.

"I don't like it for this reason!"

Shown that reason doesn't apply.

"Doesn't matter, I'm still right because I have a whole other reason!"

I'm sure that's also not the reason you don't like it. But it doesn't matter because, whatever anyone says you'll have another excuse reason right behind that. Not worth playing that game.

I firmly believe Speed Racer is the best movie that ever flopped.

That 100mph fine seems worth it
I can go 4x the speed for only 2.5x the fine
That's a deal

But seriously. We'll do anything to not build slower streets.

Why not?

"The Werwulf"
I will myself forever put The at the beginning of his movie titles. He set it up with his first 3 movies. I hate him for dropping the The so needlessly.

As should be the case more often.
You could say the same for both Obsession and Backrooms.

It was the first where he dropped it.
Before that was The VVitch, The Lighthouse, and The Northman. Then he could have called the next one The Nosferatu, but didn't for some reason I'm sure is unforgivable.

I decided as long as he keeps going with one word titles that could easily start with The, I'll do it for him.

What's that have to do with trans rights?

estimates environmental damage at $1.7 to $5.7 trillion

That's a very large range. But is has no context. Is this a lot or a little? What's the total damage estimate? What the estimate for the other 90% of people?

They argue that trucks need massive batteries for towing. And so they should include them.

I'd offer a counter argument that range extenders should a standardized option. A modular box in the bed that you can add a number of 40lb batteries to. That way you can buy and carry however much range as you may need.

I'd say Friends is worse. But it's a thin margin.
Neither are good by any means. But my sister loves Friends, and she has terrible taste in television, so I'll accept her judgement.

Then you're still stopping every hour, or every 60-80 miles. Even if it's for a 2min charge, that gets annoying.

The issue is that towing a brick through the air kills range. It's a fact that can't really be avoided. You just need more storage to over come.

Another option is to put batteries in the trailer. I thought of that for long haul trucks.

You don't assume. You plan for. In case
