- Oh, there's no way he said it
- Ok, I guess he did but it's taken out of context
- Looks like it's not taken out of context but it was one time when they got excited
- Ok, there's a history of this kind of rhetoric
- Well, no one really believes that stuff
- Ok, this really is a popular opinion
- I just want lower taxes
I purchased bear spray last year. I had to sign a sheet with my name at the "gun counter" (I have thought of it like this as a kid) and it included basic contact info but the person did not verify the info.
I offered to show my ID and was told it would be checked when I paid for the bear spray.
When I picked up the bear spray at the customer service counter to pay, my ID was not checked.
I am not a teenager or someone who "looks like a criminal" but I would have thought they could at least verify my info. Anyway, hopefully this regulation helps.
And the Dems have tons of footage of Trump spouting crazy nonsense.
Everyone thought Biden was too old anyway but some undecided voters think Trump is "smart".
Also, if you immigratted or your parents did, he just called you or your parents rapists, escaped convicts, mental patients, and terrorists.
Good thing you don't live in a 15 minute city, you'd starve! /s
Not just Europe. Much like today, it was a very popular option for people all over the world, including the good, old US of A.
When I hear "I got fired for my political beliefs", I think "they got fired for being a contrarian blowhard with no impulse control".
I have a sleep disorder. I can no longer nap, have alcohol (at all), caffeine after 9am, and so on.
I also love napping and have napped my entire life when possible until recently.
Since I can't nap anymore without ruining my sleep I now sit or lay quietly with my eyes closed and just rest. I set an alarm for 5-10 minutes and snooze for a few minutes over and over until I "get up". I never really fall asleep so (reluctantly) ending this rest period is not that hard.
This doesn't give you that same rested feeling but I can destress, lower anxiety, and so on. This absolutely has led to me sleeping more deeply at night, getting drowsy before bed, etc.
A little like meditation but mostly just taking a break.
Have a great day. You are an intellectual giant who has bested me.
Guess what? You are both smarter and more knowledgeable. Have a great day.
All this to defend your position that billions of people don't have a way to say "yes".
You don't have go do nuts with the details, I read the same articles. I'm just saying this is in the process of happening and people are denying the reality in general.

Example: there's a person in this thread insisting that Chinese people do not have a way to say "yes". It's... weird, to be charitable.
I have had numerous managers tell me there was no time for QA in my storied career. Or documentation. Or backups. Or redundancy. And so on.
