That seems like a reasonable assumption to me?

"... and the record will show that I kicked him repeatedly long before he went down. I beat him like a mad dog with mange every time I got a chance, and I am proud of it. He was scum”
That seems like a reasonable assumption to me?
I have seen tens of counter examples to this in the West. Men often get more confident, more stable, and more stable as they get older, and the world itself simply treats them more respectfully.
This doesn’t sound like a conversation worth getting involved in
Well if the Yanks are smart, the second it becomes a US state you strongly encourage two way migration so there are a bunch of square-jawed, grass-fed, All American kids living there that the US press can get exited about. Jack, Diane, and Tyrone getting shot at by the PLA is going to be a Big Fucking Deal.
Heck, if I was Taiwan I’d stop spending money on defence and just start spending money giving free university tuition to Americans.

I am curious about this. If Uncle Sam serves Coinbase notice that it considers the contents of XYZ wallet to be stolen goods, then haven't they created lower-value coloured coins, and won't other exchanges start creating lists of those pretty quickly?
Don't we already know that about WhatsApp though? What other revenue source does it have?
I mean that was pretty much the 2010 Tory platform, and they won?
Next up, “the people would never elect a scientist to office?!?!?”
Sanctions against key people are probably more effective while not causing too much anti-American sentiment in the general population or a rally around the flag effect. Hard to rile up the people because a dodgy oligarch can no longer keep his roubles in a London bank, where Babushka Svetlana freezing to death 'cuz the Yankees cut the gas is a martyrdom event.
This itself is American propoganda; the strategy is to be absolutely all over your opponents, knowing that they can't complain about it for fear of looking weak, while complaining loudly about how their meagre attempts are the end of the world, getting public and Congressional support for more spending.
Before the Snowden leaks, someone suggesting the US had the SIGINT capacities they actually did have would have be laughed out of serious circles as a crank, and you better believe they haven't been sat still over the 8 years since.
This is definitely true for 99% of people though
I decide I want to try a bit of "something new", and I pay someone to induce a Capgras delusion in me. At which point, my wife seems like an imposter. I wish to have sex with this new person, and I am also sure my real wife has given me permission to, prior to this. You can tell me as much as you like that it's "really" my wife, but, in my delusion, I am quite sure it's just someone who looks like her, and delightfully and consentfully have sex with the imposter new person -- who is giving their consent the whole time -- with all the thrill that entails. Afterwards, the delusion wears off, and I realise it was just sex with my wife. Everyone has consented at every point to this.
> "It's quite disturbing because, for instance, a patient would tell his wife: 'Sorry ma'am you cannot get in bed, I'm a married man' and even if the wife gives her name, he'd say: 'You're not the real one,'" Dr Marrero says.
You could spice up a lot of marriages if you could harmlessly cause Capgras delusion for a few hours
Nothing weird about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_spelling
Do you have some more context? I have found this trivial to change...
