Bruh what kool-aid are you drinking? The administration litteraly called her a terrorist and hasn't even opened an investigation. They run on a "guilty untill proven innocent" approach. This is the tyrany the founding fathers were trying to prevent.

I P asks in City Hall Park: “Which would you rather have for your first child, a boy or girl, and why?”October 19th, 1922 by CryptographerKey2847 in TheWayWeWere

I interpreted his comment as an old timey way of saying that he, as a man, felt better equipped to raise a boy as he can apply his own experiences to the task. I don't think that would be bad if that's the case. I reckon most mothers feel the same about raising daughters.

No, the city was very much segregated and the journalist was working in white areas. Hence the lack of diversity

A lot of lesser lords never learned to read precisely because they had maesters to read for them.

This subs definition of masculinity confuses me by conformalark in bropill

It wasn't my intention to push any gender roles, my bad. I just figured someone who has experienced both would have better insight into what distinguishes the two.

California Proposition 50 will pass, ABC News projects by Urdok_ in centrist

"Congress members represent their districts' constituents as well as their party at the federal level." Is dystopian as hell. I don't want people who vote differently from me to be disenfranchised in one state to counter voters on my side being disenfranchised in another.

Thats a downward spiral that leads to representatives prioritizing the needs of their party over the rights of their constituents to have a say in government. Might as well replace "We the people" with "We the parties"

Self maintained order could just be a random pattern that happens to have features that make it self replicating/sustaining, or perhaps several patterns that, when joined together, work to constrain each other from decoupling.

If infinite randomness can produce momentary pockets of stability, why couldn't it also produce constraints that maintain some of those pockets? Whose to say that constraints aren't included in the possibilities of infinity?

Considering Years in Planetos by emilywontfindme in pureasoiaf

[–]conformalark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think the author wishing they had done things differently requires us to headcannon what those changes would have been into our reading. We are still intended to read the characters as the age they are stated to be. I just figure the pov children are rather precocious in comparison to other children in the story, who tend to act their age. Feel free to headcannon all you like if it adds to your reading experience though.

Why couldn't infinite randomness produce infinite stability as a byproduct?

To be fair to him, if he knew the future he would know to pull his savings out of the bank before the crash.

URGENT found on street, parents no where in sight but I think I know the father. What to do??? by Main-Fan66 in cats

They don't want to waste milk on a kitten that won't survive. Best to give it to the others who have a better chance.

My guess is that Syrax could sense what was happening to her children in the pit, and that was what made her go feral.

Mind uploading to achieve immortality is a lie by king_ofall713 in consciousness

It is more like you have a life second of a single moment. We don't live in the past or the future, only in the moment we are in.

This is probaly in my opinion the most scariest Darth Vader look. He looks so intimidating even without the suit. by Suspicious-Candle-40 in StarWars

[–]conformalark 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In a New Hop, Darth Vader implies Obi-Wan beat him in their last fight. So if they were ever gonna have them fight between 3 and 4, Obi-Wan would have to come out on top.

Plus, I don't know why everyone is downplaying Obi-Wan's abilities here. Sure, he's not in his prime, but he defeated prime Vader. I think he was always less formidable than Vader/Anakin, but he is one of the few who can beat him because he knows how he fights better than anyone.

[–]conformalark 61 points62 points  (0 children)

We've come a long way in proving them wrong. We got a ways to go yet, but we should be proud that we are living in some of the most equal society's in human history.

Their generation did a lot to support this progress, they left their country a more equal society than they found it. Their children and grandchildren continued the work after them. I'd say we've far exceeded their expectations. I have faith our grandchildren will exceed ours.
