nobody thinks Ted Cruz is a man of great honor

No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here

It is dangerous and repulsive to us

The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours

Not sure what njm is trying to say, but Harris and Cheney did do an appearance together:

Perhaps not every disability benefit is, but Social Security Disability Insurance and State Disability Insurance certainly are.

Four minutes for a cup of coffee? Yesterday it was three!

I think the "correct" usage of acronym is only when it is spoken as a word. But language evolves and all that.

You can see the tension in the way MW defines it (including the extended description). Like: here's the definition of the word, but some people use it when they actually mean initialism. This is in contrast to your more concise and cohesive definition of "[abbreviations] that take the first letter from each word". https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/acronym

It hard to see this as anything other than a bad faith comparison.

1. It compares trans-oceanic LNG vs. US domestic coal
2. It makes a lot of assumptions about inefficient and leaky extraction, processing, and transport approaches
3. It only considers CO2 and methane ignoring other ways that LNG is far cleaner than coal

It is important to consider the entire life cycle of LNG, but a more even-handed author would conclude we should address these inefficiencies (e.g. via regulation), rather than fixating on promoting coal.

No, but for a different reason.

Conversations have extremely short life spans. After a day, conversations dwindle down to individual threads with back and forths between two people (at best), since they are the only ones revisiting the post (due to notifications).

Even if people were committed (and/or reminded) about revisiting posts, the threading makes it difficult to find what's new.

Actually it is for formal women.

Although "Formerly WAS" is a good "Who's on first" style set up.

Ha, I love the backsplanation that they are small and yellow like corn.

That assumes "you" are just the conscious part. If you accept the rest of your brain (and body) as part of "you", then it's a less dramatic divide.

Based on what I know of Imposter Syndrome and the Dunning-Kruger effect, it seems you’re at your most competent when you feel like you’re at your least.

I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion, even with the internet meme version of the Dunning-Kruger effect. In the meme version, the incompetent think they are most competent, but I don't think it follows that the most competent would think they are least competent.

I would summarize the actual Dunning-Kruger effect as: people tend to think they are a bit above average, and actual skill factors in only slightly. Worth emphasizing that these results are over groups of people, and individuals have extreme variation.
