Well, I only know of two off the top of my head, but I really doubt they’re the only examples: Irish and Mandarin Chinese.
I think some Irish don’t even habitually use them when speaking English. If you ask them “Are you ok?” they’d answer “I am” or “I am not.”
Nevada isn’t just Vegas. There’s a big values dissonance between Vegas and the rural North, and if the country starts fracturing I don’t see them staying together.
I could actually see Vegas seceding from Nevada to either join with California or become an independent city-state.
Fallout: New Vegas would become real, in other words.
I fixed it lol
I still don’t get why it’s called that.
That is such a funny mental image.
“Drink” is such a weird word in how it has both a general and specific meaning, but no other word for the general meaning is commonly used.
“Drink you’re milk! No drinking until you’re 21!”
My parents didn’t specifically tell me if Santa Clause was real or make-believe. They wanted me to come to my own conclusion, I guess. My dad is a rationalist person, and my mom’s from a culture that doesn’t traditionally celebrate Christmas.
So what I believed was that the appearance of presents on Christmas was an unsolved mystery, and Santa Clause was just a hypothesis to explain it.
I suspected the real explanation probably involved the tree working as an antenna for some kind of cosmic energy that triggered the appearance of presents. Perhaps in ancient and more superstitious times they discovered this phenomenon by accident and continued to put up the tree ever since.
From what I understand, it was a blanket pardon for anyone who met certain criteria, and this judge just happened to meet them.
What they should do is push for voting reform. There are tons of proposals for voting systems that solve the two party stalemate and the issue of gerrymandering.
If they really wanted to stop the insanity of the Republican party, that’s what they would do. Until they do, they are complicit in it.
Unfortunately, that’s not true. Dodge vs Ford Motor Co established the precedent of shareholder primacy when Henry Ford was successfully sued for attempting to reduce dividends in favor of reinvesting profits.
The plummeting should take care of itself from that point. You might need assistance with the rotation though.
Taiwan had the same concern. What they did is make it so that receipts also work as lottery tickets, to encourage people to ask for them and hold on to them.
That was my first thought too. What’s this orb pondering business everyone’s on about?
Sure, both sides are not the same. But the “good” side is still part of the system that allows the “bad” side to exist.
So by all means, vote for the party that will do less damage in the short term. But oppose FPTP voting at the same time.
The irony being that Russia would have worked fine if the Right wasn’t in their pocket.
