Yeah, it's not that we don't care, there's nothing we can do except vote. It's like stalking laws, there's nothing that can be done until someone gets hurt.

That sounds amazing! Everything outside is dusted in yellow pollen, so I've been treadmilling it with my cat supervising. How big is your dog? Does he normally run with you on leash?
I am over 50 and getting back into running after a few years of not. My calves are so tight during after just a few minutes. When I stop, they are back to normal after an hour or so and not sore the next day.
I'm doing my best to avoid injury, and so I've been hesitant to run through it. Maybe I should?
On the plus side, I'm getting the need to run jitters when it's been than a day since the last run. So that's been nice to rediscover!
Seriously, thank you for posting this. My dad's computer needs an upgrade and most of what he does is the solitaire games on it. This would have been stroke inducing to discover after the fact.
We still have this issue in the bathroom
What if I say you often get speeding tickets while driving, but you've never been stopped by the cops for anything, or you got one speeding ticket 10 years ago? If I keep repeating that you "often get speeding tickets" and it gets you fired - did I not hurt you with a lie?
Notice I'm not accusing you of speeding. I'm saying you often get ticketed, something that can be verified
He's not accusing the judge of "often making wrong or bad decisions" He is saying "often overturned decisions" Has the judge been overturned in these proceedings? Because another federal judge in one of his other cases has been overturned, but he's not posting about that judge being unfair or "often overturned"
I feel like there's a difference, but maybe using "often" murks it up just enough. Like using alleged, "it's possible", or "people say" to spread rumors.
What about "often overturned"? That seems like a fact that could potentially be proven or disproven.
Especially if the judge has never been overturned, or never/rarely overturned in the context or timeframe of these cases. Assuming that is a false fact for this judge, I don't know his stats.
Another judge on his cases has been potentially been "often overturned" based on percentages of total cases/rulings?
In the common vernacular, the spider gives them kissy kisses
What would count as an old baby being born? Why "of all new babies being born"? My thoughts are spiralling, please send help
You make an excellent point that not everyone is capable to do everything in the world with just some gumption and training. We are all different in ways that makes some skills and knowledge unattainable for practical use.
A lot of us have interests and hobbies beyond our abilities. It's also awesome that you are smart enough to know what you don't know (many people who actually suck lack the self awareness)
Your enthusiasm may one day inspire someone else to do great things in that field. Maybe it's a child's future or maybe it's a question you ask that sets off a thought process in an expert. Maybe it inspires you to think about a problem of your own a different way.
Challenging experts to explain what they do so the rest of us can understand and discuss only helps. If you met a particle physicist or astronomer in real life, they'd absolutely love talking with you and corner you at the party and have a great time. Their coworkers would be jealous. :)
Anything we learn isn't wasted.
Not everything we learn has to earn money.
A living wage should not require extreme skillsets or extreme ambition.
A living wage should not require so much time and energy that all there is to life is work.
Living in your parent's basement or with multiple roommates as your only option is not a living wage.
These should be choices people make because they want to, not requirements if they want to afford food and medicine. Or temporary need to do's (like breakups, moving to a new area, theft, etc)
I agree you should be paid a real living wage for whatever it is you do. If the job is worth having it done, it is worth paying a living wage to have it done. Even if it doesn't take a particle physicist to do it. :) Even if it is a low stress job for the person doing it.
I also agree Corporations should not own and rent out single family homes at all. There do need to be rental options for people, but it should be feasible to buy a place too. But that is a different rant.
That's pretty much what I do during. I'm slow anyway, so sometimes have to walk to get slow enough for relief. Once they start getting tight, it happens quicker each time I speed up. It's one of those things where I'm not sure if I'm just being a wimp, or should just keep slowly building up time.
The last year I was running regularly I got diagnosed with exercise induced asthma. So I had gone years where my breathing and side stitches always got to me first. My legs were in decent shape because they had a very slow progression.
I did 3 half marathons in 4 years thinking I'd never be in good enough shape to talk and breathe. Now I can breathe for long enough to really feel it in my legs. It's a new experience
