@jeffreytucker No. Judges interpret the law. Laws are passed by Congress, whose members are also chosen by the ppl. If the current Congress doesn't like current law/budget appropriations, they can change that. Those changes happen by passing legislation, not by Exec Order. #civics101
@rltygrfx @BitcoinP69292 @vasantbhatt14 So no reply outside of sarcasm? Genuinely interested to hear your reasoning on why a hyphenated American identity sounds/feels divisive rather than descriptive to you.
@rltygrfx@vasantbhatt14 Why does it matter if sb says Indian American or just American? I've met many Italian Americans who, when asked, will say they're Italian. I understand the reply to be about heritage/ancestry/culture, etc., not denial of American identity. Why do you assume otherwise?
@Carmen50@Martina So you'd rather have trans men in your bathrooms, changing rooms, and sports teams? Or should trans ppl not be able to use public bathrooms and play sports at all? Which is it?
@joozie75 @mattyglesias I think you misunderstand how nonprofits and charities work. They *are* often the ones doing these things, and their funding is often from govt sources. These cuts mean they won't be able to do these things or will be severely hampered in doing so.
@EGdm8z @ChristianLunday @mpbennett@woke8yearold Correct. We covered this part already. Please see my counterexample for answer B, where 48 students missed at least 1 class, but all of them got As. It satisfies all the question statements but shows B is false.
@EGdm8z @ChristianLunday @mpbennett@woke8yearold Yes, it does.
The set of students who didn't miss any classes is a subset of the students who got B- or higher. So you conclusively know that those with perfect attendance got at least a B-. Hence, E.
For E to be false, there must be a counterexample. What is it?
@EGdm8z @ChristianLunday @mpbennett@woke8yearold B is also wrong. Again, here is a counterexample:
Class size=100. 51 missed no classes. All 51 got As. 49 missed at least 1. 48 of them also got As, 1 got an F. The question statements are satisfied, but B is shown to be incorrect here.
If E is wrong, what is a counterexample?
@EGdm8z @ChristianLunday @mpbennett@woke8yearold Correct. Each does not imply all/every, hence the B counterexample.
If E is wrong, there must be at least 1 counterexample. What is it?
@EGdm8z @ChristianLunday @mpbennett@woke8yearold Counterexample for B, which you've also proposed as a correct answer:
Class size=100. 51 missed no classes. All 51 got As. 49 missed at least 1. 48 of those also got As, 1 got an F. Question stmts are satisfied, but B is shown to be incorrect here.
@EGdm8z @ChristianLunday @mpbennett@woke8yearold No, it doesn't. Every set is a subset of itself. So that's a possibility.
Ex: class size=100. 51 had perfect attendance. So 49 missed at least one class. If all 51 got As, and all 49 got Fs, the question statements are satisfied, and we have a counterexample for D.
@EGdm8z @ChristianLunday @mpbennett@woke8yearold We also know most students attended every class, and the group who got lower than B- is a subset of the group who skipped at least 1 class. That's why E is the correct answer.
@BuhleNkomo_@HussleMase What race do South Africans call someone with a black parent and a Coloured parent? Does it depend on other factors as well (home language, skin color, hair texture, etc.) or no? Also, does Coloured imply a black ancestor? Is a child of a white and an Indian parent Coloured?
@lilchiva@TeenBoyMom @DerekIsNormal He was openly gay, just not publicly gay. Ppl who knew him personally knew. An associate (str8 BW) who worked in radio at the time said he came to an interview with date, and it was obvious they were together, nothing hidden. He just didn't make a public pronouncement a la Ellen.
@jokathryn238@rebonsible@tweetsandboobs Ok. But the # of ppl who identify as straight, the # who identify as gender-conforming, those aren't totally organic either. Not now, certainly not when we were growing up. It's ok for some to be confused, change their minds, etc. We r all human beings trying to figure life out.
@jokathryn238@rebonsible@tweetsandboobs And lastly, while I identify as a cis-gendered GM now, I have always preferred being around girls/women more than boys/men. Other boys made my life hell growing up. I suspect if non-binary was a thing then, that might be how I identified. /end
@jokathryn238@rebonsible@tweetsandboobs I also had several drag queen friends in my early 20s. All identified as gay then (well, at least to us gay boys). Some lived as women 24/7, and I know for certain one of them now identifies as trans. There are a couple others I expect also do, but we've lost contact. /3
