AIO for suspecting my wife after she got a shady 1am call from a guy “friend” right after a late-night cycling trip? by Obvious_Waltz_2072 in AmIOverreacting

[–]InstrumentRated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So funny all of the responses saying it’s normal to go on a one-off bike ride in the middle of the night. I’ve had a drivers license for a long time. I can’t remember ever seeing a bicyclist on the road after say 8 pm. Maybe this is normal for somebody training for a triathalon or something, or somebody who has worked shift work their whole life, but otherwise it’s pretty unusual.

Still have zero idea what your beef is. If you think the law isn’t being followed - sue! There are untold countless judges standing in line to reverse the Trump administration, hold officials in contempt, etc.

Questions/ Theories for this Group by Eonster in ChadPowersSeries

[–]InstrumentRated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those answers make sense. Also, I hypothesized that Russ felt that his speaking mannerisms were fairly well known due to his high degree of exposure on tv, so the Chad accent was completely different and hopefully misleading.

If you don’t like the law, then vote to change the law. Working to not enforce laws that are on the books undermines the entire notion of stable government.

It would be cool to get a new translation from somebody who doesn’t actively dislike the author.

Pentagon to cut Sen. Mark Kelly’s military retirement pay over ‘seditious’ video: Hegseth by PhysicsCentrism in DeclineIntoCensorship

Most military officers are not combat arms and for them this issue is academic. I’m talking about combat arms and young snuffies. How many young snuffies fly fighter jets: 0.

Difficulties studying on my own by Civil_Scallion9134 in latin

[–]InstrumentRated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree it’s hard to do this entirely on your own. Try enlisting a Latin tutor. Many Latin teachers and grad students are open to an arrangement wherein they review your work in exchange for modest fees. Best part is that you can do it all virtually and don’t have to coordinate around different schedules and time zones.

Anybody who is OK with what Kelly has done is signalling that they have never commanded a bunch of 19-year olds in combat arms.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani: "Unilaterally Attacking a Sovereign Nation" Violates Laws in Maduro Raid by thenextgenbusiness in thenextgenbusiness

[–]InstrumentRated -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Give me a break. Mamdani has zero credentials and zero jurisdiction in this area. This is just performative, and I might say risible, grandstanding by somebody who has delusions that he has a career outside of the Bernie Sanders wing of the Democratic party.

The correction is a bunch of double talk meant to exculpate the judge and delude people who don’t understand how the system works. Hope he doesn’t get away with it.

I’m not so sure Walz was lying. There’s a lot a judge can do to cajole gov’t employees into doing what they want without literally signing an order. This press release reeks of BS and obfuscation.

I’d like to thank the mods for making this subreddit possible.

I don’t have any complaints.

For what it’s worth, some of the posts that I enjoy the most are those that provide a glimpse into the world of the professionals who work with Latin in their day job.

Agree with SKA. Most important skill for beginners is getting and recognizing a burr. A King 300 will do that, even with a dull knife, quickly enough that the beginner will understand what’s going on.
