  • Judges devote their lives to the law and are definitely more respectable than the average bystander.

    Everyone is corruptible, including judges, but don’t tell me that the average pop is as respectable concerning matters of the law.

    Seriously. Judges have been an arm of the elite to disproportionately affect minorities. That doesn’t erase the experience that most have accrued over decades.

    It’s an age thing. Being taught one thing and having it changed seemingly arbitrarily bothers some people. Most Americans don’t know Pluto was discovered by an American. Afaik if we kept Pluto as a planet then we would have to make room for Eris, Makemake, Haumea, Ceres etc.




  • In the secondary, new-age definition of “literally” yes that’s true.

    We lost the war for “literally”. It’s now just an emphasis word. The definition is mind bending:

    1)in a literal manner or sense; exactly.

    2)informal; used for emphasis or to express strong feeling while not being literally true.

    On the bright side less people use “absolutely” incorrectly than before.
