The sun isn't really setting, it's just the Earth turning

That's what a sunset is. When the sun begins to become occluded by the horizon, for whatever reason.

Usually "set" in the terms of putting down is a transitive verb. Like, "he is setting the bucket down."

"Sunset", though is intransitive, right? The sun is setting. There is no reason to think that an intransitive verb must have the same definition as a transitive verb with the same spelling.

All of Trump's political appointees have been completely inept, so who knows? It's weird that a guy who hosted a show about finding the best apprentice to hire is maybe one of the stupidest people in the world when it comes to hiring.

I'd imagine that there are untold numbers of assassination attempts that are stopped early by the Secret Service that we never hear of.

Most of the attempts on Trump have come at his rallies or from him golfing. Basically, I think he gives assassins way more chances than other presidents did because he doesn't really do his job and just does a bunch of other things in public.

So, it's probably a game of numbers. He makes it easier for assassins to target him. His security team gets fatigued from overwork. He's bound to have more close calls than presidents who actually follow the recommendations of their security detail.

I don't think "low IQ" is as bad as Trump thinks it is.

But if Trump insists on using that phrase as an insult, I think he should take an IQ test from an impartial tester, and have the entire thing recorded, and publish the results.

I can't imagine that a person who has as low a reading skill as Trump would do very well on an IQ test, though.

If it makes you feel any better, I left that company less than 6 months after that incident, and within a few months after I left, it went out of business.

I was thinking about your comment, and I think they did similar things in earlier episodes.

One thing is that in the book, Myne in her commoner days was much more disabled than she appears to be in the anime. I remember reading the first LN in the series and wondering how it ever got a second novel, since the first one was essentially about fate repeatedly torturing a severely disabled child to death. Most of that and her efforts were glossed over.

But for me, I liked it. I could sort of watch it like I knew all the stuff that went on behind the scenes.

I used to be very lackadaisical about my flu vaccines. I'd get them if they came to my office, for example, but I'd never make appointments myself.

Then, about 20 years ago, I had a job where they wanted me to have a note from a doctor if I called in sick. I knew I was sick with something, probably contagious, but I wasn't feeling very bad. But since I thought it was probably contagious, I didn't think I should go in. So, that was the first time I went to the doctor for something that I'd call a cold. The doctor ran some tests, and diagnosed me with influenza.

It was at that point that I realized I needed to be careful and make sure I get the flu shot every year. The thought I had was, "I can't tell the difference between a cold and the flu, but for some people, the flu is deadly. I don't want to be responsible for somebody else getting gravely sick, so I have to start making an effort to get the flu shot every year."

Since then, I haven't gotten that yearly cold that I used to get, which I now know was probably the flu. So, it's been good for me... but I do it because I don't want to be the cause for other people suffering.

It's just so weird, isn't it? This decision by Pete Hegseth will almost certainly cause some deaths. Even if it's not the soldiers, maybe it's their small children. Maybe it's their parents. Maybe it's the people they meet when they're deployed somewhere. We'd literally be better off if we appointed a coma patient rather than Hegseth.

My criteria is (1) whether I think people watching only the anime will enjoy it enough to keep making the rest, and (2) that the parts they animate don't actively destroy the important parts of the story.

I understand there will always be people who read the book first, and then will find many things to be disappointed with in the adaptations, but I've always been the person who reads the books first and then still enjoys the movie or show, as long as the adaptation is good on its own.

I loved the Harry Potter movies. I loved the Lord of the Ring movies. I loved the first few seasons of Game of Thrones, until the last few seasons where everybody agreed it went to shit.

For Bookworm, I actually watched the earlier anime first, and wasn't too impressed, just thinking it was above average. Then, I read the LNs, and the next time I watched it, it seemed so much better.

My biggest complaint about this season is how they didn't even address after Wilfried was dragging around Rozemyne's unconscious body except that he apologized later. I think that's jarring for anybody.

I can't say anything about the general culture of Spain or the Netherlands, but I am an American who lived in Japan for a while and I have had similar thoughts.

My advice is to stop worrying about integrating like this. I'm not saying to stop integrating more. You're a human so that is almost inevitable. It is the worrying that is the problem, not the integrating.

I really feel like it should be disqualifying for a candidate to lie about campaign promises. I get that it's not always straightforward to say what's a lie, but in this case, it's obvious.

Not only has he said that he's going to change something that the Senate has no power to change, but he's acting like he personally would have the power to do it himself, instead of simply being 1 voice out of 100.

I don't know how legit this is, but I heard that datacenters also where people store their catalytic converters when they change to electric vehicles.

Whenever capital punishment comes up, I am reminded of the hypocrisy of American Christians.

Pretty much every Christian claims to believe that killing is prohibited by the ten commandments. In a democracy, if you vote for a politician who supports the death penalty, you are asking them to kill a person on your behalf. A Christian should not be able to vote for a politician who supports the death penalty.

Compare that with abortion. The bible says virtually nothing about abortion except how to pray for one. If you vote for a pro-choice politician, nobody is being killed on your behalf.

Compare these two, and it's obvious that a Christian who votes for a pro-death-penalty and anti-abortion candidate is voting against their own religion. But they claim to be voting for Christian values, which is pure hypocrisy.
