It’s almost like someone backed out of an agreement that was already in place.

Isn’t it the case that “consensus” in the sciences is just a shorthand for “we agree that this is most likely to be true”?

If I were conversing with a scientist and I asked about possibility x, and they disagreed with it for the reason that “the consensus is…”, I would assume that they are not saying possibility x is wrong, but rather that they would need really good evidence to agree that x is correct.

I think it would be mandatory. It’s against “preferred” pronouns, right? If they prefer to be called by pronouns that match their gender, it would be illegal to use them?

I don’t think most Americans are, but there are certainly enough to make an industry around it…

The thing is, though, if you slip and fall (or whatever else) on the property of a big corporation or at least one insured by a big corporation, and you hire a good enough lawyer, you can sue for way more money than you could earn in your lifetime.

Maybe that’s not such a good thing.

I’m very clearly not a lawyer or expert in any way here, but once he’s convicted doesn’t that change things? He’s no longer on trial, he has a conviction hanging over his head, seem inhumane to me to force someone to wait for a sentence/punishment. It would be one thing to let him wait until after his term to serve time or pay a fine, but not knowing what the punishment is seems very wrong to me.
