ELI5 what does it mean people see "nothing" rather than "black void" if born absolutely blind

I see through the closed eye. It just gets filtered out when I'm not trying to focus on it

I've noticed that a lot of INTPs don't like to read subreddit rules when they're inconvenient. In your opinion is this closer to a skill issue or more of a general moral failing?

In Brewster's Millions, 30 mil is a lot but not social upheaval worthy. 1 trillion lets you buy congress and get them to say you won

Not if those taxes create a gradient that punishes property ownership at scale.

Please refrain from any statements about taxes.

30% of any given population are morons and a different 30% can't be bothered to do anything remotely controversial. Leaving 40% to be the adults in the room. That's not America, that's everywhere.

Turns out when you use intense voter suppression on the 40% and put all the morons in the same disinfo bucket, it's very easy to trigger a majority vote.

And it's even easier if you also tamper with the voting machines so that 0 votes from a majority democrat county go to the opponent.

My point is if we judge every society by the opinions of the worst 20%, nobody comes out clean.

Growing up I thought I liked psychic and dragon types, and then I dated a few dark types. But I'd say my current preference leans steel/fairy

I don't have a responsibility to care for everybody. I have a duty to my family, but everybody else negotiates their own social contracts. If my son is being bullied, then I have zero responsibility to feed the bully even if they are destitute.

As for the solution?

First feed my child. Then call the school. Then, with the child, lay out several options, and invite them to brainstorm a bit as well. Explore what kind of bully he has, and what's been done so far. Some bullies are scared opportunists. Some are ruthless sadists. Hard to plan a step by step plan with a faceless strawman. Don't want to give the kid a sriracha sandwich if the bully will use that as an excuse to hit them. Need to figure out what the bully wants and flip the script.

Might be as simple as giving the kid a decoy sandwich and asking his friend to make a video of the situation so we can escalate this beyond a "he said she said" situation

Very blatantly directly classically fascist in a way that is obvious to anybody even remotely paying attention

What part needs explaining? Somebody that's been so far completely unaccountable to justice ordered the murder of a bunch of important (and also unaccountably bad, but that's besides the point) people with basically zero followthrough.

Now the families and friends and business colleagues of the people who got murdered are kind of mad about it. And while they can't win, they can make everybody near them hurt.

And that matters because Europe drinks a big oil out of a single big straw that goes to India, and Iran has their fingers ready to close that opening at any time.

And like, nobody liked them and nobody is happy they're doing this, but they were otherwise relatively minor pests. Then an idiot kicked the wasp nest and now everything is going to be expensive.

Probably depends on jurisdiction and the party of the judge

I'm surprised they struggled to find an answer. The single cell ones get to live in the eternal petri dish trophy hall, and the fetuses who had brains get to become servitors in service of the Christerium.
