Effective protests are disruptive.

These days it takes a lot more bravery to be a teacher than a cop.

By definition, if the business venture isn't profitable, then there isn't a market.

REI in downtown Portland pulled out and publicly said it was because of rising crime, but it was really because the employees were trying to unionize.

Terrorism is violence towards people, riots are violence towards property, that's a hell of a leap to try to equivocate the two

ISO9000 is a joke. They don't care what you do, they only care that you do what you said you're doing. So if your inspection process is "we play peek-a-boo with the widget and if it's still on the table when we open our eyes, it's good to ship". ISO only cares that you have a peek-a-boo procedure and your inspectors are trained on how to play peek-a-boo.

We will never be able to end crime if we continue to treat crime as a personal failing.

Parents have the option of homeschooling their kids. That's them exercising their authority. But public school curriculum should be decided by an apolitical body that follows evidence based practices. Don't like it as a parent? Then homeschool.

The right doesn't use language genuinely, so personally I don't really care to consider their usages. The actual definition of words doesn't matter to conservatives, it's not how their brains work. That's why it's so easy for them to form a big tent party, they just need to say meaningless feel good phrases like "law and order", "1776", or "make America great again" to attract voters. That's also why when they get power, they dissolve into infighting and can't govern at all, because it turns out those phrases mean different things to all of them.

In light of seeing your fellow conservatives move farther right (and thus, kinda push the definition of the body of conservative beliefs farther right), on what grounds do you still identify as conservative? What does being a conservative mean to you?

If everyone followed the one rule "keep as much space in front of me to the next car, as there is behind me to the next car, at all times" it would do the most to alleviate most traffic jams.

We keep saying "half of the nation" but he's never won a popular vote. It's a cognitive distortion

Ok but the Wikipedia for Tesla's history says that musk specifically did not take a role in company operations, he was just hypercritical of design.

So technically he shouldn't be a co founder, he didn't fill that role.

If you haven't played it, everyone at some point should try Chrono Trigger.

This went from generic to just plain weird.

Credit scores are in part based on the oldest line of available credit, which for most people are their student loans. Pay those off, your oldest line of credit becomes something more recent, and your score goes down as a result

Your argument is purely semantic and not really substantive unless you define what a "bad person" is. That'll be different to everyone, so without a common operating definition of a "bad person" your point, while technically true, doesn't really mean anything.

God king? More like Fraud King

By definition, if you got rid of cars, you wouldn't have traffic. Traffic is made from cars.

Don't know what you're talking about, every act under intoxication is already legally intentional. "It's not rape officer, I was drunk!" Doesn't hold up in court

You're sort of right but painfully wrong on so many things. The US government doesn't mint its own currency, it borrows from the Federal reserve. Congress spends money into existence (by borrowing from the Fed), but then we pay back the Fed via taxes.
