This reminded me of some bullshit where they had passed a law either forbidding action based on coast line change or forbidding monitoring of it IIRC.

Here's an article if anyone wants it but it starts out pretty strong https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/sep/12/north-carolina-didnt-like-science-on-sea-levels-so-passed-a-law-against-it

"In 2012, the state now in the path of Hurricane Florence reacted to a prediction by its Coastal Resources Commission that sea levels could rise by 39in over the next century by passing a law that banned policies based on such forecasts."

I've started using the phrase "unsanctioned democracy" when people start telling me the time to express my preferences is only in the primaries or when they talk about how we shouldn't have primaries because we have an incumbent

I've literally never encountered this off the internet & don't actually believe that it is a real thing (beyond maybe dozens of people somewhere). But it is everywhere on the internet like it was an addition to the sermon of the mount or something.

It's disingenuous. Sometimes a teen will be addressed as (but not usually called) young man / young lady but it is usually either for the purpose of criticism or just navigating their ego since teens can't accept they're still children.

"once in a lifetime climate event" is the free space, so it should be in the middle

You know, now that I look at this you don't even need an upper bound.
