I'm not interested in what the dictionary says or a textbook definition I'm interested in your personal distinction between the two ideas. How do you decide to put an idea in one category versus the other? I'm not interested in the abstract concepts like 'objective truth' I want to know how it works in real life for you.

The Attorney General does not keep people in prison, they only prosecute cases.. That's the parole board.

Photobomb - anyone who is in a pic of me that I don't want to be there regardless of whether or not they are aware of my existence.

Not sure how a flood explains a wagon wheel ending up 3000 feet underground, but maybe I were religious to explanation would make more sense.

Looks like a couple of high-school kids bought a robot from Ali Baba, 3D printed a few mounts, then added a gun and a gopro.

'...voluntary mandatory shift coverage.'

Someone should be gifted a dictionary for Supervisor Appreciation Day.

I visited by accident. I was expecting a 'house of horrors' or a cheesy wax museum of ancient oddities. It was way more serious and depressing than I expected. And I have no regrets. The tragedy of humans fucking over their neighbors and acquaintances was eye-opening

There is an old fable that tells of two Asian monks walking down a dirt road and they came to a stream. At the stream there is an imperious woman of noble birth waiting impatiently for her carriage to be freed frob the muddy bank so that she can continue on her journey. She turns to the the monks and shouts at them to carry her across the stream. The younger monk freezes in uncertainty because their vows forbid them to touch a woman. The older monk approaches the woman and offers to carry her on his back. The entire trip across the stream she is shouting orders and complaining about his efforts. When they reach the other side she turns from him, ignoring him completely and turns her attention to continuing on her way. The older monk continues on his journey and the younger monk follows. They are silent for hours, the younger monk becomes more and more enraged at their treatment by the noble woman. Finally, he says to his companion, "Aren't you angry at that woman because of her treatment of you when you carried her across the stream?" The older monk replies without breaking his stride, "I put her down hours ago."

You can always count on the NY Post to distort the truth to get some really juicy headlines. He is charged with pandering (attempting to pay for sex). Not human trafficking, although it was a human trafficking sting operation.

And if it turns out that the accusation Hamas was using the basement as a command post is true, is that the new bottom?

"Tragically, his mother died shortly after arriving in the colony..."

There’s so much tragedy in the first 3 sentences but this is the one that is given the descriptor.

Actually, Karl Marx.

Just like the photo of Mao Tse-Tung, the credit listed for the quote is unrelated
