There's a lot of reasons to push someone to have a political view. They are still human, just like you. Just like you they see the world from their own eyes and experiences. Understanding each other is never easy, but villainizing will never lead to understanding

I learned from experience that vehicles lose torque the higher the elevation due to the thinning of oxygen. I think it was something like 30% per kilometer in elevation. That being said I'm sure there's a level where they can't drive anymore.

From my understanding of the reading, if that were the case it would be happening in a different pattern ( or perhaps no pattern, but on all feathers ). It being such a vibrant color would mean that it's a high concentration, which would be showing elsewhere on other feathers

I work in a restaurant, they are super useful for protecting a band aid on a new cut ( the condom keeps it water sealed ). We have to wash our hands so many times in a day, and having a loose bandaid that could come off in food is a huge thing to avoid. Plus washing dishes you may have to reach deep into the water where a glove wouldn't keep your hand dry

It's a little sensational for the headline. 72% of fourth graders are reading below expected levels. And they are blaming decades old teaching tactics, which seems odd as you would expect a larger percentage of adults not to be able to read if this was truly the problem.

I believe the concept of a meme is actually much more universal than metaphors and funny, although a majority may fall into that. It's more of a 'unit of information'. Like when a meme is using a photograph of a scene from a tv show, that moment in the show may come with a series of emotions and thoughts that are shared between people.

A metaphor comes close to it, but for everything that we consider as a meme it's not broad enough IMO.
