    Iran launches retaliatory attack against Israel

    Not unlike the Kentucky gun range footage sold as footage of Turkey attacking Syria in 2019.

    I'm in favor of women's sports, but...

    I'm not much of a fan of spectating any sportsball, regardless of player sex. I'll never understand the zealous fan yelling at their TV screen.

    Wouldn't a password spray attack be thwarted by MFA?

    Alabama Supreme Court rules that IVF embryos may be considered unborn children

    I concede. If it is presumed to be a false equivalency to apply definitions beyond the scope of this supreme court decision, then I cannot add anything further of value to the discussion.

    Alabama Supreme Court rules that IVF embryos may be considered unborn children

    I think we then need to define what is meant by human. The definition that I presumed for this discussion is that a human is an individual member of the Homo sapiens species. This definition also presumes an agreed upon methodology for discerning species. It seems that we entered into this...

    Alabama Supreme Court rules that IVF embryos may be considered unborn children

    How so? You stated that, although an embryo is a living organism, it is not a member of its species. Is this not what you intended to communicate here: You did equate gametes with organisms here: Please state the claim that I am refuting that you did not make.

    Alabama Supreme Court rules that IVF embryos may be considered unborn children

    What of organisms that do not have a fetus stage? Do they ever qualify as members of their species? It is not an opinion to erroneously equivocate gametes with embryos.

    Alabama Supreme Court rules that IVF embryos may be considered unborn children

    I assumed Ethan was referring to those rare cases where the fertilized egg is shed, hence miscarriage. Why else use the term embryo? Due to the phenomenon being uncommon, I think it would remain accurate to describe the miscarriage as spontaneous because menstruation typically ceases when the...

    Alabama Supreme Court rules that IVF embryos may be considered unborn children

    At which point of biological development would an organism qualify being a member of its species? This would be a spontaneous miscarriage... Why would legally classifying an embryo as an unborn child necessitate criminalizing spontaneous miscarriages? This is the same sort of hyperbole that I...

    Alabama Supreme Court rules that IVF embryos may be considered unborn children

    Under which Alabama statute would murder apply rather than involuntary manslaughter assuming liability of the loss of life is to be applied? Why would the following Alabama statute apply or not apply to the hypothetical scenario of embryos lost due to a power failure? Title 13A; Article 1...

    Alabama Supreme Court rules that IVF embryos may be considered unborn children

    Would you please elaborate on this within the context of the assertion that I question? Assertion in question: Members of institutions will be prosecuted for murder in cases where embryo(s) die during unintentional power failures.

    Alabama Supreme Court rules that IVF embryos may be considered unborn children

    Why would this be the case? Is there liability for murder if a person on life support dies during a power outage? I can see the potential for a possible manslaughter charge, though not murder in either scenario. I don't see why it would be logical to conclude that the embryo scenario would be...

    The Witcher: Enhanced Edition is available for free on GOG. To claim, you need to have GWENT in your GOG library, which, for myself, required at least starting to install the game on a device. Then subscribe to the newsletter via the giveaway page. Link to GWENT...

    Biden: "You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-America."

    I'm not sure that I understand this response. Was I not clear that I agreed with your statement that Roman Catholic scholars in the Vatican would not listen to me? I apologize for my poor communication. I will clarify. I am challenging the rhetorically loaded definition permitting sweeping...

    Biden: "You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-America."

    Fair, though which contemporary dictionary should be used? I find the Oxford English Dictionary to be far more comprehensive, though access is not free. I used an active institution account to access the dictionary. Definition 2b is the definition I am using: Democracy is a something that can...

    Biden: "You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-America."

    Etymology lesson: The root of conservative is conserve. Conserve is derived from the Latin conservare, meaning to preserve or keep. My question stands in response to equating conservative with Nazi as it is possible to have a position seeking to preserve or keep values opposed to Nazism. Your...

    Biden: "You can’t be pro-insurrection and pro-America."

    Isn't MAGA an acrostic for Make America Great Again specifically referring to the US? If so, I find it hard to believe that someone that is not from the US would perfectly align with the movement. If not hyperbole, I think a more comprehensive survey than the slim gleanings from gaming forum...

    Michigan lawsuit fails, Trump to appear on ballot

    I think it is to prevent ochlocracy. A solution would be to decentralize governance, thus preventing the threat of Wyoming imposing irrelevant and adverse Wyoming policies on California and vice versa. This should then reduce the imposition of policies that, while beneficial for certain...
