Yeah thanks for that incoherent comment. You really contributed to the discussion there, well done.

Doesn't "table the discussion" rather imply that they're going to come back to it at some point. I feel like "it is what it is" ends any further discussion on the topic.

It ends the argument it doesn't complete the argument.

You've essentially just stopped talking about the topic. No consensus has been arrived at. Possibly because one was not possible.

The second one seems to be a bit of an Americanism I'm not really sure what it means. I take it to mean there's nothing anyone can do about it, e.g. there is a storm coming and you are not sure if it will hit your house or not, whereas the first one means there's nothing we can do about it but some other human can e.g. above your pay grade/ out of your responsibility.

That's just corporate speak for No.

I'm pretty sure cognitive dissonance is not what she thinks it is.

Cognitive dissonance means holding two completely contradictory opinions at the same time. You can't shortcut cognitive dissonance, I don't quite understand what that means.

There's no conspiracy here. She's being accused of a crime and there's going to be a trial. The prosecution have to present enough evidence to convict

All that's happening here is that the media are not allowed to report on a trail that's currently ongoing which is standard practice. In the US they do it differently because there are different country, and that's fine too.

There was no reason for him to bring this up other than I don't know some kind of weird political game that he thinks he's playing it's very unclear who this performance was for.

Of course Davis would ask a stupid question he's supposed to know the answer to. Why would he do any research when he can make himself look like an idiot instead?

The guy is certifiable (look at the comment history). Don't engage with him.

Other occupations are of course also available, such as religious leaders and children's TV personalities.

The Conservatives have heard about culture wars from their friends in the US, but they haven't quite grasped the fundamental principle that it has to be about something that anybody gives two hoots about.

Then they wander around been sad that their voting numbers are down, and they really can't work out why.

Yes party donors.

Technically of course The Black Death was not a pandemic, it was an epidemic. It's just people didn't really move around very much so they didn't notice.

It kept returning to Europe multiple times because the focal point of the disease would move somewhere else for a bit and then come back.

Yes yes, it's very important to make that comment at every possible opportunity.

Even if this was an actual problem, which it isn't, this is not the way to deal with it. Children ask all sorts of awkward questions, not answering their question is literally the worst way to deal with it. They'll just ask the question more loudly in a very clear voice in the middle of a crowded Tesco. It's best to just answer them and move on.

You can tell no Conservatives ever actually raised their own children.

How on Earth were people editing your calendar without permission?

The problem they have is they're trying to sell it for 200k. Maybe they didn't try and sell it to so much money they'd actually make money paradoxically.

RAID is a backup, obviously It doesn't work if you store the backup on the computer that has the primary on it as well. Regardless of what solution you choose.

No god, so how big is the new CoD going to be?

Perhaps there are content provider. Shooting in RAW stakes of a lot of space.
