@BriannaWu Netanyahu isn't as bad as Trump

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@layten_ghay @JNaifyNaif @WaterfrontSEA So, you live in Seattle, or you just know someone who's been there?

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@BriannaWu We may well have been appeasing them; I'm not sure of the details you're referring to. But Israel has not. It's quite likely they're responding to Israel, perhaps the country that effects them most, than to us. It's not always about the United States.

@StevAdore68 @Kellblog @rcbregman You mean, you've asked multiple people for a definition, and they've failed to give any response? Or you didn't like their definition? Or you didn't ask?

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@HeroDividend Why does anyone care? They're asking a favor, not forcing you to do anything. They said something bothers them. You can be nice, and follow their pretty minor neighborly request, or you can ignore it, and that's fine too. Deliberately cooking meat outside? That's being an asshole

@MartianOrthodox @Drew505941932 You’re right, I don’t understand your situation. You feel you deserved better and are hurt. If you could have created a trust or covenant you could have saved it as a farm, but family drama is really hard, so I get that that was impossible. I’m sorry you all couldn’t resolve it

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@MartianOrthodox @Drew505941932 So it’s not really the IRS to blame. You inherited a massive windfall. You all could have ensured it would always be agrarian, but didn’t, so the IRS assessed it at the fail market value, as they should.

@WilliamTaborDDS @TheReelRandom Sure, nuance is great, things are messy and complicated, but the primary reason was slavery

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@nilocobau Much of the problem is that fines aren’t proportional to income in the US, so they effect poor people much more heavily and the wealthy are free from consequences

@SithJohn @gentrywgevers @Austen If it’s fallacious, tell me how. You may not believe that I’m making an honest argument, but I am. What’s the point otherwise of talking to someone you disagree with? I don’t get a prize for winning

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@SithJohn @gentrywgevers @Austen No response? So I guess you’re just projecting

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@sama Get rid of Larry Summers. Seriously, with all the concern about bias in AI, why put a misogynistic on the board?

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@SithJohn @gentrywgevers @Austen What specifically do you disagree with?

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@SithJohn @gentrywgevers @Austen The third prong, around entanglement, seems less clear as well, but that doesn't really matter: if the purpose of a law isn't primarily secular, it isn't valid. I hope that answers your question!

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@SithJohn @gentrywgevers @Austen If the sponsors attacked Muslims when debating it, the court would strike it down. The second prong is about the effect: the primary purpose can't inhibit on or promote religion. One could argue it's is depriving Muslim travelers from halal food, though that's less clear 3/

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@SithJohn @gentrywgevers @Austen Then it’s not a sincerely held religious belief, and deserves no constitutional protection

[Jack Bennetto @jackbenn]

@DaveGarber1975 @lilchiva @Austen If you want to hire someone, should you be allowed to dictate in your contact when they work? What’s the limit there?
