"After seeing you enjoy good food as it was intended, I don't think I want to continue this. Everyone knows food must only be eaten after you upload pictures of it to Instagram and get a certain number of interactions."

I have heard that beached marine mammals are often too sick to swim properly and that rather than pushing them back in, it's better to call wildlife rescue for advice.

There is a basic conflict between freedom of speech and democracy. As long as people's sources of news and information are permitted to lie and spread misinformation and disinformation, citizens will be unable to make informed decisions.

I'm pretty sure that the basic answer is that the audience likes to see fights.

That's why the punishment for fighting is relatively small. If the league gave severe punishments for fighting, players would be forced to stop fighting.

Because the punishment is relatively small, players are more likely to start a fight. When players are in the middle of fighting, it is more dangerous for a referee to interfere, so they let them fight until they find a less dangerous moment to break it up.

That is why referees let the players fight.

During the previous administration, Congress passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which included $80 billion for IRS to hire more people to go after the rich. The CBO estimated that it would collect $200 billion in the next decade, but there were other predictions of $560 billion.

Trump reversed all of that. Elon Musk and DOGE fired 1/3 of the IRS work force.

Fuck Cars the Snowman
was an angry vengeful soul

With a corncob pipe and some cinder blocks

Considering how many more people died from COVID than needed to, simply due to Trump's actions (and inaction), he's technically a mass murderer more than a serial killer.

More blatant bribery, as she tries to set up a luxury lifestyle after her husband dies

That sort of depends on how her husband dies.

When I was 10, we didn't have a computer at home. If homework needed to be typed, I did it on a typewriter.

It was part of the paperwork requested by the person who arranged my loan and there were no follow up questions.

I once had to "explain the gap in my CV" when applying for a loan. And apparently, "I didn't feel like working for those 6 months," wasn't a good enough explanation. Even though I think literally everybody personally understands the concept.

I ended up saying that I spent the time taking care of my parents, since I did spend some of that time taking care of them.

One important skill for school is to look at the entire question so that you can understand what the teacher is asking for, even if they don't format the question exactly right.

In this case, your answer would not fit into the 6 spaces provided for the answer.

So you have to ask yourself what they meant by "Write the following words". Since "the" is the same word repeated twice, once you've written "the" after 5, then I could argue that "the" has already been written.

Therefore, if there are only six blanks for the answer, looking at the entire question, I argue that the answer I provided is most likely correct.
