The question posed is what is a chicken egg? Is it an egg from which a chicken hatches or an egg which a chicken lays. I'd argue it's the latter. Because we already consider eggs from which no chicken could hatch but that a chicken laid, chicken eggs.
And this is just the legal status, as in, is it criminal to be in a homosexual relationship. Not do LGBT+ have rights, are there anti discrimination laws, are advocacy groups allowed. And certainly not how LGBT+ folks are treated in society.
No. I'm pointing out that all the green countries aren't equal. Like some allow gay marriage and some do not. Some allow legal discrimination against LGBT+ folks and some do not.
Mostly I was surprised to see Russia as green and had to look up why.
Just walking away from someone who you're talking to is generally seen as very rude, hence us developing social cues to demonstrate that you're done with the topic/conversation.
What makes you think that? Trump voters love him. Between the economy and Israel's actions, Biden voters are pretty damn disaffected at this point. It was close last time (he won the tipping point state by a mere 0.6%), so it doesn't take too many people staying home to result in Trump winning.
No one is going to vote for Trump over Gaza. They're just not gonna vote. And you must live in some kind of bubble if you think Trump supporters have changed their minds over the last 4 years. Some of them have since 2016. But if they supported him in 2020, they're supporting him now. Trump doesn't need anyone new to vote for him, just for a small percentage of people who showed up for the record turn out election in 2020 to not this time around.
They don't have to be the majority. They just have to show up to vote in some swing states where Biden voters don't bother. President isn't based on who has the majority. It's based on a) turn out and b) electoral college. It doesn't matter if everyone and their mom turn out to vote democratic in California. It matters if about 20,000 people in Wisconsin who voted Biden last year decide it isn't worth the trouble this year.
With how unpopular Trump and Biden are, it's probably easier to lose as the sitting president. I don't know anyone happy with the state of the country, and that's generally blamed on the president.
Do you happen to personally know a bunch of 2020 Trump voters who are voting Biden this time around? I have no idea where you're getting this confidence from.
Maryland is blue and doesn't matter. Similarly, Nebraska went for the republican candidate by more than a 20 point margin in 2020.
If you want to use that argument, how many people voted for "noncommitted" in the Michigan democratic primary? People don't even have another option but are going out to vote "not Biden" in an actual swing state.
MI went for Trump in 2016 and broke for Biden by less than 3% in 2020. If those "noncommitted" voters didn't show up, it would be a problem for Biden. Whereas if the Haley voters didn't show up in Nebraska and Maryland, it would not be a problem for Trump.
It doesn't include the 11% who meet the definition of poverty. Based on the definition on the ALICE page, it's 29% of households above the poverty line who still can't afford the basics. It doesn't include people with inadequate savings who are making ends meet, albeit paycheck to paycheck, but who aren't trying to choose between rent/food/transportation and racking up credit card debt.
A San Diego-area school district superintendent was fired this week, nearly a year after students alleged she threatened to ban them from graduation ceremonies after they inadequately applauded her daughter at a banquet....
It doesn't even say they didn't applaud, just that it wasn't enough applause. It could have been a totally reasonable amount of clapping and this lady was mad there wasn't a standing ovation.
Yeah, it's hard to understand. If they'd written sentenced to 23 months instead of jailed, it would be a lot clearer. As it is, it sounds like he was in jail for 23 months and then "held" somewhere else.
Alcohol and tobacco are specifically not scheduled. They don't even fall under the same regulatory agency. They get their own special one with firearms of all things.
Why kill the dog? It didn't listen to her, embarrassed her, and she couldn't have that. Why admit to it? People already knew about it; she thought she could get in front of the story by spinning it as "hard decisions had to be made" rather than "sociopath murders dog."
I'm sick of random capitalisations mid sentence. I'm sick of common words being replaced by less common ones or even downright nonsense. I'm sick of it taking three attempts to successfully get the word I want. I swear it's been like this for five years or more. Can we have a better version yet, or at least the old one back?
On my phone if I hold down on the suggested word in the keyboard area, I can delete it from "learned words." This is only really helpful if it's a typo that isn't also a real word.
Killed 8 months ago, Pixel Pass was a program that allowed users to pay a monthly charge for their Pixel phone and upgrade immediately after two years. It was almost 2 years old.
Because discrimination based on certain things is pretty reasonable. Not allowing convicted sex offenders to work in schools is a type of discrimination. Not wanting kkk members to hang out in your bar is a type of discrimination. Even "no shirts, no shoes, no service" is discrimination.
More like it doesn’t know how to do math. Or it might hallucinate transactions. Current AI is fine when things don’t need to be correct or you can iterate until they are. Accounting generally doesn’t work like that.
There's a pretty good chunk of time when cleaning up your kid's pee without losing your cool is all the situation calls for. Could be a baby who isn't even aware they're peeing but needs to air out their diaper area to prevent a rash. Or a toddler you're attempting to potty train. One of the most common potty training methods involves them just being naked and you trying to get them to the potty whenever you notice them peeing until they get the idea. And you doing anything other than being chill about it is gonna cause anxiety around them learning this new skill.
If we're shooting for the stars, for election reform, I think we might need proportional representation. First-past-the-post is only one problem in our first-past-the-post, winner-take-all voting system.
I don’t see how that depends on it being nature or nurture. Nature: they will be like their parents because of genetics. Nurture: they will be like their parents because that’s who’s raising them.

I don’t know how you can read that article and come away thinking Michelle Obama’s efforts made school lunches worse. Unless by worse you mean healthier but less popular. The only reason people were attempting to get ridiculous things categorized as a vegetable was because they actually now had to have half a cup of vegetables.
That’s not what that said. The USDA tried to raise how much tomato paste was required to count as a vegetable which would make pizza not count. Congress said no, pizza still counts.
In 2011, Congress passed a bill that barred the USDA from changing its nutritional guidelines for school lunches. The proposed changes would have limited the amount of potatoes allowed in lunches, required more green vegetables, and declared a half-cup of tomato paste to count as a serving of vegetables, rather than the current standard of 2 tablespoons (30 mL). The blocking of these proposed higher standards meant that the smaller amount of tomato paste in pizza could continue to be counted as a vegetable in school lunches.

Ah yeah, the trans community. Totally didn’t already know they were generally not accepted by Abrahamic religions. Weren’t just given a tiny glimmer of hope to desperately hang on to that they might be accepted. Also are Catholic because Catholicism hurts the right people.
