If we take the story at face value, he did get consent.

Not old, it’s called being emotionally mature (may depend on how you are processing it).

Yeah, he already covered “poorly aimed or not aimed at all.”

8·2 months agoYou’re using the New York Times to support the idea that the New York Times didn’t support the war.
What do you think could be an issue with using that evidence?
Edit: I find it amusing that the article you shared is partially blocked (censored) unless I sign up to the NYT.
These sources show that the New York Times supported the war because it poorly reported the idea that Iraq had WMDs. The NYT did not do its due dilligence, intentionally mislead the public, or a mix of factors.

2·2 months agoI understand where you’re coming from: If natural dialogue is preferred for a creative work, then having laughter audio is inappropriate.
I disagree that canned laughter and live audience laughter are equivalent.
With live audience reactions it’s like watching a theatre presentation, you get to be part of the crowd. We get a chance to laugh at the jokes at a natural pace (allowing for pauses so we don’t miss the next joke) that the audience would set, and their reactions are modulated organically.
Canned laughter doesn’t do this, it doesn’t set a natural pace. It is calculated by an audio engineer, and the laughter will be an unnatural reaction to the joke presented.
It’s the difference between a genuine and forced smile. We can naturally sense something is off. A live audience reaction is superior to canned laughter in most cases.
That being said, some shows don’t need laughter audio to be enjoyable.
The IT Crowd didn’t use canned laugh tracks, They recorded audio of audience responses.
They pay out of initial capital investment and leveraging.
How does pirating make a corporation broke? Making a copy doesn’t steal money.
Edit: We can’t pirate a company into bankruptcy.
and you’re not hurting anyone else in doing so
Evaluating this condition across all levels of your community is almost impossible, from the individual level up to a global level. It can also be evaluated across time. The total sum effects of actions (and inactions) are incalculable.
“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
Atheism killed God. Who will wipe this blood off us?
TLDR please?
I know what you’re trying to do, and I don’t care.
Sweet, that’s all I need to know.

What? How does the trip get funded?

I think we have different definitions of “vacation”. If I am obliged to work, it ain’t a vacation.
1 or 2 days of light labor
God forbid they do something real
Light labor is not real? Noted. Needs to be hard labor, and walk uphill both ways. Back in my day …
To be even more pedantic, isn’t it the impulse?

How do I upload menu details for OSM? I couldn’t figure it out.
Maybe the test says less about the tester, and more about the testee.
Worth it. Cars are an ongoing cost, and don’t bring joy if you’re not into them. I think you made the right choice, you chose joy.
