Often times, I think of movies or stories as the story teller as translating for the audience. You don't watch Troy and think it's odd the characters are speaking English.
It's acceptable to complain if the work is nonfiction and meant to be for education.
It's also the source of "L+ratio", because you had an "L" take (loser take as opposed to a W take) and the ratio is there to "prove" it .
For online discussions, it can be worth it. You might not change the mind of the person you're talking to, but there are more lurkers than posters. Your discussion is for them.
I think if you aren't the one debating, you are more open to differing opinions.
And the question they never ask, is why is there a multi-year wait list? It's like what steam said about piracy. It's not a price issue, it's a service/availability issue.
If undocumented immigrants are a problem, then document them. No need to sneak in if they can just walk through the port of entry and get a job.
I'm fine with them limiting what can be on personalized license plates, they don't even have to offer them. If she got this as a bumper sticker or something, then I don't think the government can force her to remove it.
She's had this plate for 10 years, don't know why they are rejecting her now.
Her plate is "69PWNDU"
But if someone wanted to kill you, isn't that just part of God's plan?
So I guess they don't like that over 90% of immigrants return for their court hearing, so if they make it so ICE detains and deport people who return for their hearings, that percentage will go down and it's another propaganda point that catch and release is a failure.
So in my city, the water bill would charge a fee for paying online, the only way to avoid the fee was to write a check and they had no auto pay options at all.
I would just overpay and write a check for 6-months of service. I knew it was time to write a new check when my balance stopped being negative.
I guess what I'm saying is it would have been incredibly convenient and not at all infuriating to have a fee-less auto pay option.

The reason stories exist of the underdog winning, is because the underdogs lose almost all the time.
Think of how common a story it is that a Walmart being built in a small town basically shutters all the local businesses.
Also, David basically brought a gun to a knife fight against Goliath. Seems like Goliath should have been considered the underdog :3
A 1.8% difference of the popular vote, but the popular vote doesn't win elections. Dems lost way more than by 1.8%
And don't forget they lost the house and senate.
It's always weird when conservatives happily post when someone on the other team gets hit with a gun charge.
Retired LEO arrested for carrying a gun while on Capitol hill? That's a win?
