Why would used games cost more than new ones?

Wait have Canadian conservatives sunken that low? For real?

I didn't say they were perfect. They just seem less bad. At things stand, lethal injections simply do no go well as a standard.

I just thought that in real life, when they were out of on-stage roles, other children would do something else. But then again if the children are, like, 7, it's not like you can assign ALL the jobs to them.

I hadn't thought about it. But then again, I never did any sort of play at school.

And on top of that.

If you must have the death penalty (and really I'd challenge that but for the sake of argument let's say they must).

Then injections are one of the worst ways you can do it. Hanging and beheading are much more humane ways to end someone's life.

I hope people don't get pulled over for gaming a navigation app and a phone mount on their handlebars. That would suck.

I thought casting students as inanimate objects or plants only happened in TV shows.

I may be missing something, but why can't you have the bank account and phone number both in Lebanon?

In a ranked choice system or other better voting system, yes.

In the current system, voting for anyone but the least bad choice among the two that stand a chance is almost like giving your vote to the one that has the best chances, regardless of your preferences.

Look up the spoiler effect in elections.

Or, CGP Grey has an excellent explanation of the whole thing.

That is not the question. The question is: it's a binary choice. People should be aware that not voting helps the worst candidate win. Why not vote for the less bad candidate then?
