I also recall reading that most new soldiers would often intentionally aim over the head of their targets. The thing about war is, though, that eventually the people you come to have strong bonds with are either killed or in danger of being killed. The longer you're in a war, the easier it is to justify your fury.

The movie Fury is basically about this phenomenon. You start in the war perhaps reticent to murder, but if you see enough war, your moral horizon shifts in response to the real (whether justified or not) violence and horror that is inextricable from war itself, regardless of sides or justifications.

The NYT regularly publishes opinion columns from wildly different perspectives. Only a week ago Matthew Walter, who could arguably be described as a conservative Christian nationalist, wrote a contributing opinion column discouraging people from voting.

It doesn't "only matter to the IRS." Not understanding what an opinion column and a contributing writer are and how they function within a news organization is simply media illiteracy.

Kudos.

That's all fine and well, but this is a contributing writer. She's not even an employee of the NYT.

You missed the part where news organizations are not a singular monolith but rather composed of numerous individuals that don't all feel/think the same way let alone hold the same opinions in an op-ed.

Affect is also a noun. And effect is also a verb.

You have a flat affect.

You can effect change.

Well, some of the shots were the ones fired by the snipers that killed the shooter, so maybe gunshots on a camera don't sound like you think.

He was bleeding before secret service got to him. The video is literally linked for you by OP.

The peppers were pickled and then I chopped them up and added them. The pickling is really why they add flavor.

I regularly pickle my own peppers (and make my own fermented hot sauce), so I imagine that made a difference in terms of botulism. Still, good to know and thanks for the info.

Bold take, NYT.

His response to the geopolitical question is very well articulated.

Yeah, his commander in chief told him to buck up and focus.

Vice president Trump. Lol
