There’s a certain irony in using a Douglas Adams quote to support saying something is reminiscent of Terry Pratchett.

To sanitize it and remove the negative connotations. It’s something that happened instead of something this guy did.

Same reasons reporters bend over backwards calling most politicians everything but liars.

So one of his reasons for not prosecuting criminal behavior by the sitting President is, “the country doesn’t feel like it!?”

1. Says who?
2. When you say shit like that, it’s really hard to believe the myth that nobody is above the law.
3. You no longer get to say you’re the “law and order” anything.

The dash used to be how to could tell how long someone had been using tar. If they started with Linux, they probably use a dash. If they started on a UNIX variant, they probably don’t. Either way, the dash isn’t needed.

Also recently learned that recent versions of tar will autodetect compression. So for extraction, you just need “tar xf “

I think this is the best answer. Think of it in terms of what would the boss (a good boss, that is) say? I can actually hear my managers say this. Many of the options here could be taken by the other person as you thinking you’re “better than” them. This is a fair and accurate response that doesn’t get personal.

I would say Chicago is maybe a better example. All around Chicago, you have a number of cities where a good majority of people living there commute into “the city.” All these places kind of run into one another to make a large metro area. Further out, there’s more space between towns, so they don’t seem like part of Chicago. Still a good number of people in those towns often work somewhere in the metro area.

I’ve always considered a “metro area” to include the immediate feeder communities that but up to one another and “the city” itself, and the “greater area” getting into the further out suburbs that are a little more spread out but feed into the metro area.

That assumes the it’s intended to be punishment. I would argue the goal of the laws, stated or not, is vengeance.

ETA: I’m not disagreeing with your statement. Just offering a modified viewpoint.

I’m sure there’s something, and I try to remind myself when talking to the kids that they’re figuring out the world around them all the time just like i did when I was their age. It’s really hard getting them to look outside of YT and TikTok for information. Awhile back, the younger one got into the Atlantis mythology and started talking about it a lot. Theories of Atlantean origin are pretty common in white supremacist circles, so that was kind of stressful!

Adding to what others have said, Rogan often has, at best, a surface level understanding of the topics covered on his show. His guests often have an air of credibility because of their credentials, even when their views are often seen as outliers or plain wrong in their fields of expertise. Because Joe often doesn’t know enough to press them on questionable or disingenuous statements, his many many listeners are led to believe there’s something to the bullshit they’re hearing.

Huberman does something similar, but is worse because he often knows better.

You’ll find that folks can be gullible at any age. My step-kids, who live with their dad in Texas, are in their early 20s and get about 99% of their information from either YouTube or TikTok. For the youngest, church plays a big part. Generally speaking, they are good kids, but they are both gullible AF. I’m betting OP’s sibling has a similar diet of media consumption.

They should just privatize them like we did in the US. Worked out GREAT for us!

/s if that wasn’t obvious.

The “hot take” governor.

That’s really nice. Thanks!

I love that little sound bite: this isn't a Republican or Democrat bill. Oh really? Do you have any sponsors from the other side of the aisle? Do you expect any of them to vote for it? Has anyone from your side come out against it? No? Guess what kind of bill it is.

In what way?

In what way?

Ooooooooooooooooh /s

I would add that if you are securing loans above a certain total amount or used for certain purchase types to make a purchase, that purchase is subject to a sales tax that must come out of the purchaser’s pocket. The trouble with wealth taxes is that most of the “wealth” isn’t liquid, but it is often used, for example, as collateral to purchase Twitter. In this instance, the wealth used should be treated as liquid taxable assets. I think those taxes should come either from the purchaser divesting from some amount of assets or a straight cash, not from another loan, payment.

… but “dirty,” so I guess it involves mud or something similar.
