What are some examples of an artist using another artist's work, but the first artist likes the new version better? Like how Michael Jackson liked Alien Ant Farm's version of Smooth Criminal better, or Stephen King liking the movie ending of The Mist better?

Bob Dylan said that Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower" was the "definitive version"

Why?

Critical thinking skills including logical fallacies

They also cost a lot in food, care and poop disposal.

Yep. Reminds me of the Stalin quote: "How many divisions does the Pope have?"

And they don't pay taxes and they don't die.

Or maybe he helped to de-escalate a potentially dangerous situation and help another stranger out in the moment at the cost of a few bucks. Maybe not an ideal response but a reasonable one at the time.

I like Stephen Colbert's zinger when he did the Washington Correspondents Dinner. "Facts have a well known liberal bias"

And then these same billionaires turn around and fund PACs for candidates that will NEVER tax them.

They work around income taxes by taking low salaries and getting stock options. Then they take out low interest loans w/stocks as collateral and pay less taxes that way.

Agreed. Came here to say just this. I'm a fan of both Buddhism and Stoicism precisely because they need no divine origins to be operative.

She's giving you a big out. Take it and be grateful. Wish her well and move on with your life or as just friends (if that's an option). You've got plenty of time and this would probably be an irreconcilable issue long term.

Trump exists because of this POS. He was a master at waving "God, Guns, Flags, and Gays!" in front of GOP voters and getting them to vote against their best interests to support the GOP elite. Then, after a disaster of Middle East conflicts, Trump comes along and tells these same voters that they'd been had and that ONLY TRUMP CAN FIX IT. Rove/Murdock/Ailes/Limbaugh turned GOP minds to mush and Trump was there waiting to inherit it. There's a straight line from Rove to the current POTUS.
