It's really funny. All those power phrases and one-upmanship games played by Trumpetts are like people who roll coal or drive loud muscle cars - people waving around their tiny-dick-insecurity energy for everyone to see, somehow convinced they're hiding anything.

Or all those conservatives obsessed with which consenting adult another consenting adult is sleeping with. Though there I'm pretty sure it's just repressed jealousy because I can't imagine giving that much of a fuck about an issue that I wasn't deeply personally invested in.

People say this all the time, but I search prolifically and have literally never had to do this to get a relevant result top 4.

What are you guys doing, using full sentences with puffery like you're talking to the Enterprise or something?

As an elected government, it's a synonym for "most of Palestine". AFAIK it's direct representation with no gerrymandering fuckery like the states to make it only questionably true.

This is questionably accurate.

It's not just a matter of building the rail, it's also redesigning the urban sprawl. That's a LOT of new construction of buildings needed, too. That comes with new utilities, etc. And cement is a huge carbon source.

There is a time scale over which that's more carbon efficient than replacing all personal vehicles and their replacement lifecycles, but it's very unclear if that's actually faster with regards to climate change timelines.

Our Golden taught himself medical alerts. My wife broke her ankle when he was 6 months old, and the little glue puppy who followed me when I gave her meds started to let her know ahead of time that she would need meds, and even proactively bring her pill bottles.

Some refinement let him proactively stop mom from overdoing it, so he's been instrumental in her recovery and PT.

Then like six months ago he started giving me pain alerts from no where when I was feeling ok. But invariably, every time he did, 30-60 minutes later I would get a headache. So now I just listen to him and my bad headaches have dropped to almost zero, because I'll take some coffee and NSAIDs when he alerts.

He also broadly gets the concept of "pills make people feel better in a little bit". He'll stop alerting for about 20 minutes if you take pills (or pantomime taking pills because you're busy or something). Then if you faked him out he'll alert again in 20-30 minutes lol.

He's one of the smartest dogs I've ever met in the "cause and effect generalizes to X" sort of way. (He also is super confident and pretty sure that the world is made of sunshine, rainbows, and friends so is conversely really dumb in risk assessment, like will fall off the bed because he's sure he'll be caught kind of way)

Our Golden will actively watch Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Dragon Prince. Full on watch the TV. (And nature documentaries).

Most other shows he doesn't really care one way or the other for.

Helps if you grew up with a low but consistent daily dose of lead.

Spoiler alert, everything involves politics, and if you don't get that, then you're just getting screwed over by those that do.

Arguable. The stories have him talk about the right price and your rights with slaves, and as commonly understood "not one jot or tittle" would directly conflict with "let he who..", unless the second is an edict ("hey, you, sinless one, go chuck a rock at them and bludgeon then go death").

Where the bible isn't monstrous, it's at best inconsistent.

Definitely betting one life vs. maybe betting several. It's a version of the trolley problem. There isn't a right answer, unfortunately - though I personally would move the kid to professional full time psychiatric care in a "hope for the best, plan for the worst" sort of thing. Especially since I don't think kids are inherently more valuable than adults.

I rolled my own Infinity for Reddit after the Great API block. It's so inferior to Sync.
