Did you tell them that Godwin's law isn't a fallacy it's an observation?

Because arguing against carpool lanes with "you know the Nazis told Germans to carpool" shows you've run out of steam.

Most video game characters "walk" at a gold-medal marathon pace so it's more accurate than you might think.

That's a very bad interpretation of the comic and you can tell because you're presenting the thesis of the comic (care about men's and women's issues) as a counter to the comic.

He didn't say "black women" he merely listed off a bunch of accomplished black women... and then said the rest of it. Boom! Lawyered!

It's an interesting situation where the only option is to make some districts less safe. Like make four districts that are +5R instead of two that are +20R

It's definitely narcissism, the question is if it's nature or nurture. Conservatism has been teaching people to be narcissists for decades and MAGA is what happens when those narcissists throw a tantrum when the world doesn't cater to their whims.

"Wrap top and bottom" isn't perfect, dragging or cut+paste resets the alignment to "absolute" but at least you don't have orphan CRs everywhere. There should just be a default called "figure wrap" that centers the image on the page with one line of space above and below and that would fix 99% of these issues.

It's just because the default image setting is "in line with text" instead of "wrap top and bottom". The wrap top & bottom behavior is what people want but instead of changing the image setting they just put a CR before and after the image but then draging the image doesn't move the CRs and everything gets borked. It's not some legacy module MS is locked into for backwards compatibility, it's just a bad default behavior.

Dead cat bounce is reasonable, it's when the market pops up a little after a massive drop because people were panic selling so much that they overshot

It's mostly ground bones, which I find even weirder for some reason

I think it depends on how you define your terms. "Human rights are not political" means that the state can either preserve or violate those rights, but it doesn't get to choose if you have them. This is a far cry from right wing politics which is highly concerned with dividing people into groups who have rights vs groups who don't.

No, the right wing is very pro-assault and pro-hypocrisy. This is absolutely a disagreement over both methods and goals.

Those hippies crunchy moms were never leftist. They were just members of the wellness cult. Nobody can honestly evaluate both pharma and supplements industries and determine that pharma is worse

This is a terrible analogy because a) it's not true, that's not why the electoral college or senate exist and b) it also prevents good and popular ideas from being implemented unless the drive-off-a-cliff party agrees to it, which is what usually happens.

I know a lot of people who never moved away from the "god, guns, and capital" education they received in grammar school. Literally just changing schools so that kids stop getting sent to segregation academies where they're taught literal propaganda is a fundamental reshaping.
