Enjoy it. Am almost 60 and would love to be 37 again.

If we can agree that children shouldn’t see beatings, torture, and murder, then sure.

The economics of it have shifted over time. If you were born in 1968 you might have graduated university into Black Monday, and finished grad school in time for the dot.com meltdown. I did. Those are far from the boomer like conditions of the 1960s and 70s.

Anyone buying a home in 1968 is not an Xer. That’s a birth year.

“Government” has two meanings here. The oppostion has an official role in “governance” which is why they have offices, sit in committees, have research budgets, vote etc. In a minority government situation The backbenchers have a great deal of control over the process. Opposition included. The “GOVernment” controls the process to great extent.

This isn’t like the American system where the minority partner is relegated to the sides. The opposition play a very strong role in the parliamentary process. It doesn’t map well onto American politics at all.

That is the Westminster system. It’s fine in that the head of the executive only has power so long as they have the confidence of the elected members. If the elected members lose confidence then the government falls. The government is the house, so your vote does directly influence the government on either the government or opposition side. Don’t get too jealous of the American system - it’s a bloody mess in its own right.

Hi-viz and hiking boots.

I’d agree with that. Basket in rushes vs capsule in the cornfield. But it’s a weak linkage given that the abandoned orphan is a trope older than the bible.

Superman ripped off Edgar Rice Burroughs John Carter novels.

John Carter was from Virginia but was transported to Mars where he exhibited super strength and great leaping ability due to the lower gravity. Siegalman and Shuster reversed the premise and had an alien come to earth with…great strength and great leaping ability due to the lower gravity. Flying came later. Nothing about Moshe.

The Spice Girls were real stuff. They were put together but revolted against the producers who were trying to control the group. In an infamous episode they stole the masters for what became the first album and released it themselves.

Not Pixel 6?

As was Last Vegas.

The creek is 3 feet wide in places and can dry up during dry seasons. The “lake” is 3 feet deep. The city was founded there because the governor owned land on the bald prairie, not the river valley where the fort and city already existed. Water is piped in from a lake several miles away.

Let me introduce you to Regina.

I have an older comment that goes through Tesla’s litany of woes and the stock goes up with every piece of bad news. It is being supported by something other than reality.

Midday on the subway. I knew someone who attended that school and it was literally part of intro performance.

Or theatre students. They used to send them out to act weird in public to get over feeling self conscious.

With all the bots on the site why complain about these ones?

Edit: auto$#&"$correct

…posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation…

There are no users there. It’s just bots talking to other bots.

Neuroscience and basically no time limit. 50 marks in a 3 hour night class and I tell them I’ll stay as long as they need.
