Can we make the New York post just... Go away? They're a net negative on society

Kind of makes sense. To be a Republican you have to have some traits, and many of those are bad. Those bad traits would affect all sorts of things.

You shouldn't be allowed to own that much stuff. Simple solution.

I recently reopened Witcher 3, and was kind of surprised by how the graphics aren't as lifelike as my memory. I remember being a lot more impressed by the bodies when it was new.

Ed Zitron wrote a whole thing about these people. Calls them "Business Idiots"

What do you call the action of putting their grades together like this, without the sentences you put after it? (this is the most important question of this comment).

Why are you stuck on "cannot" when the point of the idiom is about the (repeat pun) fruitlessness of comparing things by inappropriate standards?

You clearly can come up with a way to score a math test by the standards of an art class, but that is not typically a useful endeavor.

I've never heard that expression before, but that's pretty good.

Are you confusing "can't" and "can, but is fruitless" (pun intended)?

Like, if someone says to you "you can't put nails in with a screwdriver", are you going to say "You totally can. Just whack the nail with the handle. I don't see the problem".

Or, like, "You can't eat crayons" do you respond "sure you can. chew it up and eat it. i don't see the problem. it's just like a cookie"

"This orange sucks. I can't just bite into it and enjoy it like an apple." That's not a sensible assessment of the orange. That's applying the desired attributes of an apple to an orange.
