What sort of world is this where the leader of a country can get up and more or less say "I'm going to ruin everything and send citizens to a foreign prison without trial" and they're allowed to carry on

When I was a kid, it was assumed that boys asked girls to dances and not the other way around. In the recent Pixar series Dream Productions, a tween girl is asked who she's going to ask to the school dance. It's now treated as normal for girls to ask boys. She also ends up not going with a date and just going with her friends.

People always portray David as a child when it happened too. The Bible describes him as a youth but it doesn't say how young. I guess because his brothers were already soldiers and he wasn't, people figure he was a child. I'd say he was a teenager.

That's because the sort of people who vote against their own interests don't grasp the idea of consequences. I've heard that science says we don't fully understand consequences until a certain age. I'm becoming more and more convinced that some people just never develop a sense of consequences. These people really need to be studied.

Once, when I wasn't doing so well mentally, I threw a tub stopper at a wall. I never found it again and my apartment has since been thoroughly cleaned numerous times

My aunt was one of those covid deniers. She argued that if it was as bad as the experts said it was "people would be dropping like flies". To her it was either people are literally dropping dead suddenly in the streets or nothing is happening.
