So, obviously, people don't generally change their legal gender for an advantage somewhere. But if they do, that's a pretty good sign, not that it's too easy to change your gender, but that there's a gender bias in the law.

So arguably, the easier it is to change your legal gender, the less of a problem gender-based affirmative action is. Conservatives must love this! End liberal overreach in one easy step!

They can put the reviewed items on the coffee table to keep them on camera, and it's more professional looking than a kitchen or child's room.

He somehow monetized being a Trump reply guy back in 2016, every Trump tweet you'd see this guy with a snarky little "well actually I prefer an X that WASN'T Y" or whatever. Within seconds.

How often do you wear a suit? Dry clean as necessary, hang it up between uses. I've never ironed a suit.

The one example I'm familiar with is a name brand ice cream company that produces the store brand ice cream too...in that case the recipe is different, cheaper ingredients to cut costs to the bare minimum. But using the machines for a higher volume saves money.

I'm sure 'same exact item' does happen too but just 'same manufacturer' doesn't mean exactly the same item.

Can't believe Harriet Tubman got all that infrastructure up.

Metric has been legally "preferred" in the US since 1975. We just don't use it.

Also while I was looking up that year I came across this wild factoid:

In 1793, Thomas Jefferson requested artifacts from France that could be used to adopt the metric system in the United States, and Joseph Dombey was sent from France with a standard kilogram. Before reaching the United States, Dombey's ship was blown off course by a storm and captured by pirates, and he died in captivity on Montserrat.

This would be a life goal of mine if they could guarantee I wasn't going to get a damn DVD.

I need examples or I don't understand.

Not for House or Senate. Age just isn't a close enough metric for what you're trying to fix.

If you're concerned with age-related decline, vote them out if you see signs of it, or if they would reach whatever age your limit is during the term.

If you're concerned about longevity in office, use term limits or reform campaign finance such that longevity in office doesn't grant too high of an incumbent advantage.

SCOTUS, sure. I think Canada has appointments until 75. Does not seem meaningfully different from appointments for life except less randomness on open slots.

Some real relatable high school insecurity right there. I definitely had a few months as "funny tshirt guy" and a few months as "no logo dark color shirt guy."

What does it even mean "one less account to track?" The money is still coming from a bank account, if you track the money in your account you would still have to account for a check, and it would be even worse if the check isn't cashed right away.

Is it that you don't have the monthly credit card bill if you send a check? But you're spending the same amount of money regardless, checks are more like one-off credit card transactions, that don't confirm payment like a credit card does. Checks are worse for the payment-neurotic. That's maybe an argument for debit cards, it's not an argument for checks.
