There's technically still time, but many states have had primary elections already. We have no other way to give our voices to the selection process, so if the party chooses a new candidate now it would be quite undemocratic.

Unfortunately, he decided to run whether or not we think he "should". What are we supposed to do? We had better vote and not let apathy get the best of us.

I agree 100%. I should have clarified current Democratic party leaders, and it is definitely still important to vote for the better choice in every election even if the candidates aren't perfect.

I want to agree, but I think they can safely assume Dems are not capable of reforming the court. People (including me) will scream about it but no one will actually do anything about it.

the only thing in the universe that requires linear time in one direction is consciousness. So we only experience time like that. Everything else really doesn't give a shit about time

Is that really true? I feel like a lot of things thay are not consciousness still have causal relationships.

A simple example is combustion. It needs fuel and an ignition. It produces light and heat that transfer energy to its environment. This couldn't work in reverse or independent of time.

Transactions are often not equitable, and most wealth bubbles up to the people on the top tiers.

You say "not US", can you elaborate? In the US, expiration dates mean absolutely nothing regarding food safety. I'm not sure if that applies elsewhere, though.

Not just his age: he was inside it, so he had waited in line, paid for it, and was seeing the ruined stone structure up close. No way could he not know it was really, really old.

Great write up, I completely agree. I might add two more reasons to the list: accidental property damage and accidental injuries are both really common.
