so maybe it's an idiom that's spread beyond Twitter.

How many of those killed were actually Hamas fighters?

No, it IS weaselly. Unless there is any substance to the argument at all, it's like saying "it has been argued that the earth is flat."

Maybe say "it has been argued without evidence" like journalists do /s

Just keep getting reelected, since no one expects you to accomplish anything. People in the rest of the country push "term limits" as the solution to everything. I always point out that we've had them in CA for 20 years. It just means that they run for a different office after they're termed out.

Or become lobbyists.

it was hugely controversial in Congress.

I don't happen to know about roads, since that wasn't one single thing. But I doubt they happened because of blind faith in the future, either -- it was probably more businesses demanding roads NOW. So the argument that no one questioned them is dubious at best.

What's "bad-faith" about it?

Classic cry of the people who want to regulate and control everything.

Maybe if the certificate is worthless, the students will figure it out? Maybe by doing a little research before they invest their money and time.

I know that for a course to be eligible for government reimbursement under any program (job training, GI Bill, etc.) the government has to investigate it. So presumably the bad ones are either already ineligible, or someone's not doing their job.

The part that stayed HP should have been renamed "HP Computing" or some BS corporate acronym ("HPC"??)

Only ignorant people think that all beginning courses are taught by real professors. That hasn't been true for generations.

Most of these classes would fall under the heading of "light entertainment for people with the money to afford it."

Take a look at this one:

It doesn't claim that Anja Lee has anything to do with Stanford, except for teaching this class.

You probably do learn something about photography from Mr. Feria for your $480.

That might be true at Harvard, but it's not at UC Santa Cruz, UC Berkeley, or Stanford. Probably others, but those are the ones I see catalogs for.

I took "reasoned to be false" as sort of a weak and refutable statement.

I think if your 4-year-old aliens were found, many humans would find them charming and fun pen pals (assuming they're not dangerous).

It would be useful as the fly by of Pluto, where we finally found out things we couldn't possibly have known looking from here.

That's not all you have to do. I'll let people who've owned houses in snowy climates amplify that.

In a building, water is your eternal enemy. Keeping it out of places where it doesn't belong accounts for a good part of the other things you have to do.

That's like asking which is worse: pancreatic cancer or Huntington's Chorea?

both pretty bad. Wouldn't want either.

To me, this looks more like an East Berlin apartment building for the Communist Party elites. Not as ugly as the workers' buildings, but that's not saying much.
