It's kind of implied rather than explicitly taught, and even then only really in certain subjects after those subjects become optional.

The misanthrope in me questions how many of the people in the mobs paid attention in school in the first place. You can't just hammer stuff into kids heads, you need to inspire them to love learning and I doubt we will be getting that.

Honestly I think a lot of what is held up as AI authored is just written by human hacks. It learned it's bad writing by reading us.

You can at least describe your previous work experience as 'corporate cyborg with finger laser'.

Not sold after 2013 is overstating it a bit. The current equivalent is the Zebra WT6300, but you could probably build your own for less than 10% of the price.

For the politicians and leaders sure. For the rank and file useful idiots like those pictured? It's tribalism, and the tribe is very much Christian.

Their problem with daesh isn't their politics or methods, just that they aren't Christian.

Why did you, personally, leave Reddit?

It's more the idea that everyone counts as people. The further right you go the smaller the group you assign full person status becomes. Liberals are OK with a bit of genocide and/or slavery as long as the victims are sufficiently poor, distant, and profitable.

Guess this is the difference between chart bitches and diagram enjoyers.

Monstrous Regiment is I think a pretty good entry point. It's relatively new but it stands alone quite nicely and doesn't need much background knowledge.

If you'd prefer something more early in his writing then Small Gods is a good one. It outlines a lot of how the world works, but again isn't deeply connected.

Wyrd Sisters, Guards! Guards!, and Mort are also good entry points and are the start of the Witches, City Watch, and Death subseries respectively.

Do you want to spend one credit or several?

Slowly is less impactful. Though my preference would be to go fairly hard so it stands out. Start by shaving your chin and lower lip (keeping side whiskers, sideburns, and moustache.) Then keep narrowing that up into a neat friendly or trimming down into a hulihee then into a moustache. This I think would give you a much more 'transitional moustache' look than aiming at a goatee. You could also go for a horseshoe.

I can resolve them on mobile internet and my home wifi. Maybe it's your ISP? Try changing your DNS settings to a known good one.

I'd be surprised if I'm the first person to say it. If you find your source though, let me know, would be interested in reading it.

It is (I hope) an original. Though the form "my grandfather would tell stories" might be bordering on cliché.

My grandfather would tell stories of how the planet used to be covered in plants and you could breathe the air outside. Back when the sky was blue.

It amazes me how many people I know who prepare food with blunt knives.

I can't help but feel they are partially responsible in that they for some reason thought a Boeing space ship would be fine.

Just don't read The Mirror. Generally not worth the effort of moving your eyes from one word to the next.

French Traditional. If it was imperial the points would be slightly smaller.
