I also recall reading that most new soldiers would often intentionally aim over the head of their targets. The thing about war is, though, that eventually the people you come to have strong bonds with are either killed or in danger of being killed. The longer you're in a war, the easier it is to justify your fury.

The movie Fury is basically about this phenomenon. You start in the war perhaps reticent to murder, but if you see enough war, your moral horizon shifts in response to the real (whether justified or not) violence and horror that is inextricable from war itself, regardless of sides or justifications.

The NYT regularly publishes opinion columns from wildly different perspectives. Only a week ago Matthew Walter, who could arguably be described as a conservative Christian nationalist, wrote a contributing opinion column discouraging people from voting.

It doesn't "only matter to the IRS." Not understanding what an opinion column and a contributing writer are and how they function within a news organization is simply media illiteracy.

Kudos.

That's all fine and well, but this is a contributing writer. She's not even an employee of the NYT.

You missed the part where news organizations are not a singular monolith but rather composed of numerous individuals that don't all feel/think the same way let alone hold the same opinions in an op-ed.

Affect is also a noun. And effect is also a verb.

You have a flat affect.

You can effect change.

Well, some of the shots were the ones fired by the snipers that killed the shooter, so maybe gunshots on a camera don't sound like you think.

He was bleeding before secret service got to him. The video is literally linked for you by OP.

Bold take, NYT.

Vice president Trump. Lol

I did something similar on a long backpacking trip. I brought olive oil in a plastic bottle which I had chopped some small peppers into so I could add fat/ calories/flavor to backpacking food. On day eight, two days before we were hiking out, I was out of trail snacks, so I finished off the plastic bottle of oil because I was super hungry. It had about 200ml of oil in it I would say, so I just drank it, figuring what the hell, I need some calories.

I had stomach cramps so bad I couldn't walk, I had to lie down. My backpacking partner had to put up my hammock for me, and after lying there in excruciating pain for about 90min, I then shit everything out of my stomach and bowels, which also hurt. Felt a little better but still had bad cramps. All in all, probably three hours of misery. We lost a whole afternoon of hiking, basically by the time I was ok again, we got about 2mi down trail for a better camp spot and just called it a day.

10/10 would recommend.

AFAIK, peer reviewers are typically other academics in the field (peers) that are asked to voluntarily review a given article. The publisher doesn't pay peer reviewers.

Vegans use silly insults "out of a profound concern for animals...At social events, [they] sometimes gave graphic accounts of the slaughter of animals in an effort to make...dinner guests shun meat."

Edit: oh whoops, no, that was Hitler. My bad.
