Physicists liked the joke so other authors list F.D.C Willard (felis domesticus, Chester Willard) in the notes thanking him for his contributions. Gotta love a good boy doing science.

TLDR: People rejected the solar farm because of the harmful environmental and social effects it would have, not because technology is scary.

Of course, it's never as simple as all that. Some research has indicated a link between environmental toxins and development of autism - but the relationship is not yet clearly defined and it's unclear how exposure to pollutants interacts with other risk factors like genetics.

TLDR: You can't literally pull yourself up by the bootstraps, and many poor people can't even do so metaphorically. The supposed greatest times in America were marked by many social services and community efforts - not bootstraps.

Right. Certainly misunderstandings could arise when I'm tired or otherwise distracted. But if you, as a writer, want to communicate your point more clearly and effectively, you'd be better off limiting yourself to one comment. Brevity is not a vice, especially on a meme site where most people probably don't want to scroll past obscenely long comment threads to reach an explanation of the joke, an image source, etc.

At the risk on incurring another 500 word essay, I have to disagree. The main point I drew was that hiring these types of workers got good results because these people had to work harder to prove themselves. I could have been more clear about the consequences - more hiring = less hard work = less hiring. The rest devolved into an anecdote-laced discussion about workers with families, which was more of an example of your main point rather than a standalone argument. If my TLDRs lack nuance, it's because your posts are so full of it that any reasonable summary would have to leave some out.

Arguing is usually pretty fast and passionate while drunk is slow and clumsy so put those together and it is funny to watch. When I would sneak out to go drinking as a teen I would use sign with my siblings so as not to wake my parents - very convenient.

This idea has been around for about 40 years and while it's great that we have the technology to achieve this, it isn't a magic solution or even a very good solution. The gloves only translate manual spelling which is extremely awkward to communicate in, and there are hundreds of different signed languages that would all have to be programmed. Most importantly, the hearing world should work to accommodate deaf people, not the other way around.

TLDR: The best parenting style sets rules and boundaries without being a dick about it while also teaching children how to be successful adults.
