I don't exhale, rather I just close off my airway to stop the big inhale. It sounds super uncomfortable to try exhaling at that point, but with some practice I have been able to stop the inhale and that mutes the sneeze considerably. Also, I can plug my nose when I feel it start to tickle and stop the sneeze entirely.
The italics are a nice hint. Good Poe's Law submission.
I got that advice as well -- the explanation given to me was that it's almost always used incorrectly, so just be safe and don't. However, I like the way it makes writing more closely resemble natural speech; we usually talk in conjoined clauses rather than complete sentences.
I've been trying to get the semicolon to take off; haven't had much luck though.
I don't have experience with it personally, only heard about it from a possibility perspective -- apparently prosecutors do a very thorough job screening jurors to make sure that never happens. Just knowing about jury nullification can get you dismissed. I don't think you're off the mark with that read, but where I think it comes back from kangaroo court and sov cit land is all jurors have to agree, even one objection to a nullification would stop it; if twelve strangers all agree, there's probably some merit to it. But, certainly can be abused in the wrong hands.
Right, that's my point -- jury nullification is the mechanism by which juries find that a crime was committed by the letter of the law but the defendent is not guilty.
But following the surface of a sphere causes you to constantly change direction
This is exactly what jury nullification is for
I think you've generalized a bit too much. The gender-swapped format was not created for this exact meme, it's just a jovial commentary on male stereotypes women find unappealing. In this case, the joke isn't that she saw a stack of random games, they're all FIFA -- did you maybe not notice that? The annoying male FIFA player is a pretty well-established meme at this point.
something we desperately need, like making all political donations illegal.
I don't know how serious this idea is, but I have questions. Wouldn't making all political donations illegal favor the rich more than the system already does, especially for small local elections? Could people just gift money to a not-yet-candidate prior to starting any campaigning? If yes, then the person with the wealthiest "friends" wins; if no, where do you draw the line chronologically? Is only cash money considered a donation -- are stage appearances fine to "gift" to a political candidate? Can I neutralize a candidate by mailing them cash and reporting them? If no, what is required for them to do with the money?
I think I'd rather just see Citizens United overturned, but I'm very interested in more info on this idea
I might agree if the last single-sentence summary wasn't there -- that's as ELI5 as it gets, I'd say.
We are sleeping on lib goblin
