I think that's too realistic to fit the question.

That is a completely reasonable fear.

You made hot dogs? From scratch?

The magazine (Kbin for community) I moderate was polled on what rules they wanted a couple months back. They wanted them to be persnickety. More than I do, so I only bother with the persnickety rules if somebody reports content.

Daiso is Japan's version of a dollar store (though admittedly far, far better than American dollar stores), so I would not go there for a long-lasting knife. Dishes? Absolutely. Knife? No.

No, we're talking about using it as a noun. Saying "an illegal". Not saying "an illegal immigrant".

Maybe so, but I've never heard it.

The congresswoman, who has been a strong advocate of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, insisted she had already denounced Israel’s actions as genocide and therefore the protesters’ anger was misplaced.

“I already said that it was and y’all are just gonna pretend that it wasn’t over and over again - it’s f---ed up, man,” she said. “And you’re not helping these people, and you’re not helping them, you’re not helping them."

Are you going to pretend to know what she has said at work?

I thought it was a zucchini until I came to the comments.

Thank you!

People so rarely think of the disabled. Sure, most modern buses can "kneel" to let someone with a wheelchair on or off, but that doesn't exactly make public transit disability friendly. For one thing, odds are that person has to wheels themselves pretty damn far to get to and from the bus stop. There is also generally one spot that a wheelchair will fit in and one spot only. There are also usually only two seats for the disabled/elderly and the disabled not infrequently get harassed for using those seats if they don't look disabled enough for other people's liking.

For another, there are many different types of disability. Having an elevator or kneeling bus doesn't solve every disabled person's problems with access. And what about the immunocompromised? Public transit is one of the most dangerous things you can engage in as someone susceptible to infection.

There will always be a need for personal modes of transportation of some kind. Public transportation is wonderful and I am a huge proponent of it, but it is not the be-all and end-all solution that people like to pretend it is.

Are they pretending the JROTC doesn't exist? The US military absolutely targets minors under the age of seventeen for recruitment.

Yes, it does. That's the whole point of why it's bad to use the word "illegal" as a noun to describe people. And that's why people do so. Dehumanization. They're not an illegal immigrant. They're "an illegal". Barely even a person.
