How many Europeans still kiss acquaintances on the cheeks anymore? Hasn't that gone out of fashion yet?
It has not, though keep in mind that you don't actually kiss their cheeks, you kiss the air next to their cheeks. What touches their cheek is your cheek, if anything (often there is no actual contact).
It's a myth, easily debunked by trying it out: Write left to right. When you reach the end of the line, start writing the next line. In doing so you will smudge the line above, and get ink on your fingers when you hold your pen low. Mutatis mutandis with pencil.
Huh? Right-handers writing left to right and top to bottom have no problem with this. When you go to the next line, you don't touch the line above. It's above, and the pen extends beyond your fingers, so your fingers stay well away from the just-written line. If you're a left-hander, going to the next line isn't the issue, the problem is smudging the just-written characters on the same line... except that left-handers often avoid that problem by cocking their wrist sharply to move the edge of their palm up out of the way so it doesn't touch the just-written letters. That then means they might smudge lines above. They make it work, mostly, but it's tricky.
The referenced second link was supposed to be this article https://www.siue.edu/~dhostet/... . I accidentally copied a link twice instead of posting this one.
Sorry for the second post but you deserve a better reply than my first one to you.
Here are some great sources for you to read in regard to the evolution of our government. Please note that many of these changes happen without constitutional amendments. Not everything listed in these links apply to my point but quite a bit does.

Fun fact, were you aware that it was the Supreme Court that established the principle of judicial review in Marbury v. Madison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
How about specifically the bureaucracy though? Here's some stuff on that.

The second link is the better but much wordier review of how it has evolved.
I still think you were engaging in semantics bullshit rather than giving me the benefit of the doubt though.
It is not about being right. It is about having a process that essentially works, even when it sometimes temporarily delivers flawed results. If you are right once, by accident, that is worse than worthless if you think you were right by insight.
Exactly my point.
Well, "MAGA people" were not doing any such thing.
MAGA assumed from the outset that he must be far-left, both because it confirmed their own biases and because they didn't want to believe otherwise. They did the same thing with the kid who shot Trump, though he turned out not to really have any political intentions.
What they were doing was mocking the occasional far-left dolt who tried to make the claim that the shooter was from the Right.
It's actually pretty plausible. The alt-right has been pissed at Charlie Kirk for years, especially Nick Fuentes' groypers, who have considered Kirk a race traitor. And there is some evidence that Robinson had sympathy for groypers, though at some point he decided he was gay and probably started to get pissed about Kirk's anti-LGBTQ screeds. Perhaps he shifted left generally, perhaps he remained generally right-leaning except on those issues, we don't know. The only information we have is a vague claim by his family that he had become more political and that he disagreed with them.
And yeah, we do know for sure that the shooter was a far-left nutjob.
We really don't know that for sure. On balance I think he probably had shifted pretty left, but the evidence is ambiguous at best. Maybe we'll learn more, but it's possible we'll never know unless Robinson decides to tell us.
If I had to put money on it, I'd bet that Robinson's politics were pretty muddled and his main reason for hating Kirk was the LGBTQ stuff.
I'll reply to both of you the same since all you're doing is pointing out my sloppy use of language instead of spending some time thinking critically about this.
Here's just one example that I'm using because it fits this exact scenario.
The Bureaucracy - The founding fathers never envisioned such a robust centralized bureaucracy which is why they didn't bother to spend much time writing any rules for them. This is how we ended up with one Supreme Court decision in the 1930's that decided to limited executive power in regards to it and a modern one that decided these agencies have no real independence.
I'm sure if you two put your heads together you can come with a long list of other things but this is good enough for me to make my point.

Is there anything worth pirating? I've rediscovered an old hobby... reading. I'm down to just Prime now because it has the most older British detective shows and period dramas (a bit of a favorite with my partner right now). If it was left to me, I'd simply cancel it all. My last Disney+ subscription went unused for a couple of months, save for my daughter and I watching watching Alien Romulus (what a sad waste that was).
So far as I'm concerned they can raise it to a million dollars a month.
Yeah, why don't you swing by their country to check it out.
With a pen, you are going to smudge what you just wrote. With a pencil, you will get the lead on your hands.
Welcome to the cruel world us left handed people live in.
Quite a few times things which were deemed misinformation back during the COVID times turned out to be different than official sources said (at first or later).
If the best available evidence indicates X, but you believe Y based on gut feel, then later solid evidence of Y is developed, were you right? Further, should this experience convince you to trust your gut over the best available evidence in the future?
Well damn. Yes. Though, now that I stop to think about it, the Pacific is kind of crazy in that the Western Pacific is in the Eastern Hemisphere and the Eastern Pacific is in the Western Hemisphere.
And now I have a headache.
Fair enough. I just feel we'd be better off if Trump and his people weren't somewhat accurate in saying that what they're doing is completely by the rules. I can't confirm that either though
Ha, "autopen". Yeah, you sound super objective with this question starting off with that manufactured nonsense.
As for your question though, did Biden rapidly destabilize the country in one year to the point that we've had multiple political assimilations and even more attempts? No he did not and that alone should make him a better president to any thinking person.
