Can't speak to "required." But I know it used to be done.

I think what he wants is the front turn signal to wrap around the front, so I can see the left signal from the right quarter.

I'm not aware that this is not the case, but I don't know that I would have noticed if it was not.

almost certainly.

I dislike the article’s focus on prices as the main consequence here. Screwworms are fucking horrifying, and they can affect humans, too.

I imagine they remember the far off year of 2021, where the threat of drowning in you own lungs was not considered sufficient reason for a great many people to give a shit.

Expensive burgers may be the lever needed to get people to pay attention.

And why should I take your word for it? I want testimonials from an array of five year olds, at least one of which is missing teeth.

Such things have to be wire guided, or autonomous. Subs have really good wire deployment systems, so it's not something out of the question, but water blocks radio signals quite effectively.

I mean, that's like claiming that he lied repeatedly and vociferously that jumping in the pool will not lead to getting wet. There is no way to believe that lie aside from deep, deep ignorance.

Also violating their consent.

Every time I make them put their shoes on. Make them do their homework. Eat their vegetables. Be home at a certain time.

Parenting is all about violating consent. Children get input, not veto rights.

I remember and author, possibly Pratchette, decrying the phrase "I don't believe my eyes." Believe them or not, they are how you perceive the world, and you cannot act much in contrary to what they tell you.

Ditto your ears, your senses of touch, smell, taste. Realistically, you can choose which of your senses to prioritize, but you cannot reject their input entirely.

Your reading comprehension needs work.

That seems incredibly unlikely.

Once again, I long for precidented times.

I didn't say otherwise.

I have no comment on weather the Korean War was a genocide. I don't know enough about the topic.

Your statement, that I replied to, was "Nothing in the community rule say that the content should be about established facts"

If I didn't remember, then it would be not meaningfully different from the life I live now.

That is what I understand. But that is not meaningful in this case. Speaking purely hypothetically, there is no reason that the US could not take advantage of North Korean aggression as an excuse to commit the genocide that the article accuses them of.

Should we be learning things that aren't true?

But the media is going to split coverage. There will be very direct comparisons of crowd sizes. Some people will have to decide which event to attend, as they can't attend both.

The cultural relationship with time is more important than its absolute measurement.

This was the statement at the top of this discussion. It values the local concept of what time should be over an objective measurement of what time is.

The proposed change wouldn't cause much of a problem. But the idea under the statement I quoted would.

that is such a small edge case that it’s not necessary to talk about them

Did you manage to overlook this point?

In general, stay out of the ducking way.
