Basically every country, for the most part, wants to keep regular relations going with every other country. Doesn’t mean they agree with each other or really even engage in trade. They want to remain friendly and have open communications channels. Severing ties in this way means that there is no possible normal interactions between them again.

Wikipedia was useful for me as a grad student because I could look up a topic and there would be a whole lot of citations I could follow. I never used them as a source, but rather as a curated forum of information.

2020 - 2023 has really revealed just how little business leaders really have a clue about anything. They are all high-performers who push and push but don't really have any idea what is important or not. What we really need is a ban on business bros lol.

This is literally what happened. Someone took satire personally and it wasn’t even about them.

Worse: they are saying that he, rather than the weapons handler, is somehow responsible as if he should know more than an expert.

This is about forcing women to live in fear and under control of the patriarchy.

I've never thought in terms of "green flag" but really like that concept.

I'm going to go with Levar Burton. Reading Rainbow ran for like 35 years and encouraged millions of children to read.

Because principal is a bully and willing to use his powers to destroy lives. The methods to protect people are very slow and so he gets away with it for years until the district loses a major lawsuit. Then he quietly gets reassigned or retires and we pretend the entire thing never happened.
