We don’t have the draft for team sports in the rest of the world and it creates these megateams of galactico superstars. There is also relegation in European football/rugby so teams can push into the upper echelons if they are extremely lucky in terms of getting amazing performances out of nominally mid players.
I’m mainly basing my opinion on my experiences living in the UK where everyone complains about “right-wing tabloids” but these newspapers enjoy huge sales figures.
From an outsider’s perspective it seems like the Democrats behave like that because the US electorate is genuinely right-wing and need pandered to.
Yeah counterintuitively there are a lot of people who learn English as a 2nd language who have better grammar than native speakers because they actually learn the rules.
I can see where you are coming from. My BIL has learning difficulties and was borderline illiterate before smart phones enabled him to communicate in situations he otherwise wouldn’t have been able to. Unfortunately the “like” button still causes issues such as when he liked/shared a meme of a scantily clad black lady with the subtitle “When a n*gga dick hits just right” or something along those lines on facebook - his black cousin was quite offended by that.
That said, I agree with the other commenter that ableism is highly situationally dependent. Screen readers do not handle misspellings well like they mentioned. In my opinon it would be ableist if you were debating with someone or downvoted them due to an ad hominen dislike of their spelling as opposed to their sentiment.
Could be people using a second language like others have mentioned. Another thing could be British vs US english. Webster changed how words were spelt in the early 20th centry to make them more phonetic for Americans, i.e. “colour” -> “color”
Amazon warehouse worker cages (so called “wagie cages”) got approved so idk if morality is a limiting factor
If I find out then I’ll 100% be making it my ringtone to see which of my friends/colleagues react
Great info in this post
Some of the gamers had been loudly asking for it so the historical parallel breaks down a bit
Yeah if I were being charitable I might imagine they aren’t on the list because they are already subject to extremely high tarrifs and embargoes. Maybe increased those tarrifs could be a bargaining chip in ending the Ukraine invasion. Impossible to tell with Trump though.

Visiting Amsterdam as a Brit does typically make me feel ashamed of my fellow countrymen though.
There is also an idea in philosophy of science called “pessimistic meta induction”. Basically the concept is that science is a continually evolving process where we get increasingly accurate understanding about how things work. However since science progresses by falsifying previously held beliefs we can speculate that all of our current scientific theories are technically false.
Amazing how many subjects Chomsky wrote about. I think his review of BF Skinner’s Behaviourism might be his best work because it is so devastatingly well argued.
Try to live well and thrive in spite of the turmoil. Hold on to the belief that this crazy period in history will end and try to avoid getting dragged into arguments with people who have drunk the kool aid. There’s no need to engage with the bullshit if you can avoid it.
Regardless of whether the news is censored, you might just find that your husband has a different political perspective to you. Some people find that a dealbreaker but personally I enjoy having different opinions to my partner. It means that our beliefs get challenged (in a good natured way) and that one or both of us get the opportunity to change our minds from an initial knee-jerk take on any given issue.
delightfully devious

The phrase “in minecraft” must trigger alarm bells in some intelligence agency at this point
