Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. The most common form of ad hominem is \"A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is unwelcome, and hence B concludes that argument x is wrong\".\n \n^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( \| )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( \| )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/videos/about/banned)^( \| )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove \| v1.5)", "It's a life-long gift you could give her, lol.", "[This LA Times talks about the finance stuff in detail btw] (https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2021-09-27/la-fi-the-one-niles-niami-don-hankey-mansion-trustee-sale) \n> The first loan, which a source close to the project said also refinanced existing bank debt, was $82.5 million with a minimum interest rate of 11%.

It’s also hard to think of a story LESS suited for the musical format.

They could have made the character feel much less predatory and conniving if everyone around him sort of conjured up the lie and he doesn’t feel like he has a choice but to play along. It would work better because you already have this character with no agency and no ability to speak for himself faced with a situation in which drawing a line would be very difficult. \n\nIt would also shift the narrative critique to the way we collectively treat these tragedies, how we sometimes seem to act like pain-vultures who want a compelling story rather than the actual truth rather than...hey, that Even Hansen sure is a selfish, predatory dickbag, isn’t he? And like she mentioned, him having a crush on the sister just emphasizes this and makes it so much more disgusting. \n\nHe comes off as VERY unsympathetic, which can be fine if that’s what you’re going for in your story. But we’re clearly supposed to identify with and feel sorry for Evan and the story treats him as near-blameless. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t have a complex character who makes extremely questionable, destructive decisions (like Daniel Plainview or Walter White) but treat him like a poor babby sadboi that the audience should be coddling. \n\nSo much missed opportunity in something that seems, at its core, like a really interesting plot.", "I mean in this video she’s dressed as Evan Hansen, who is a grown man pretending to be a teenager", "No it's just make up, she posted a clip on twitter where she applies the make up and instantly regretted the way it looked but went with it anyways.", "What?

Ok. First of all, there’s a HUGE difference between an underage 12-17 year old trying to trick a grown man into being with them. As in the man didn’t legitimately know she was under age and she intentionally hid her age from him because she knew if he found out he would stop messing with her. Because I had known a guy this happened to. Happened when we were 17, 18 ourselves but a young middle schooler developed feelings for my boy. He honest to God did not know this girl was like 13, 14 years old. And when he found out he got extremely angry. He immediately cut all ties with this girl, she was not letting go so easily, however. She ended up being like stalker level obsessed with my friend. She ended up spying on him at home, saw him with a new girl (one his own damn age) and she fucking flipped. Ran home and told her parents he fucking raped her. Like, she nearly ruined this guy’s entire life cause he was not going to be with a kid. By sheer luck, tho, her mom actually found her journals. Several of them filled with obsessive psycho shit about my friend. She wrote down the stuff about him being a real gentleman and wanting to wait til they knew each other better in the beginning (before he found out) to have sex. Said they’d kissed but that was it. He’d go no further. She wrote down everything, all the way to him finding out but she wasn’t going to let him go and that if he wasn’t going to be with her she’d make him pay etc. So, thank Christ, charges were dropped. So yeah. I get that some of these young girls do trap and trick grown men. It happens. \n\nBut some sick fuck like R. Kelly?! Come on man!

Young 12 year old and 15 year old children cannot legally or even emotionally consent to sex with anyone. They may say “yeah, I want to have sex”, but they are children. That’s why they have parents. Because they don’t know what they’re doing & they don’t think of the consequences or anything. Too emotionally impulsive and immature. They’re still kids for fuck’s sake! Besides that, they may have initially consented because “Ooo it’s R. Kelly. It’s an R & B super star. Yeah I want to have sex with R. Kelly!”…..

He’s fucking SICK.", "I hear you.\n\nI prefer the European attitude. The age of consent is lower because young people are given rights (including the right to give consent) at a younger age. Instead of focusing on an arbitrary number, the statutes place emphasis on the abuse of power. Whether the person is 15 or 25, they cannot ‘consent’ if the other party enjoys a positional advantage.\n\nThe end result is the same as if the age of consent were 16 or even 18. The only people to benefit from the lower age of consent are the vulnerable parties (the victims) because the old “I didn’t know how young she was” BS won’t work.\n\nPlease don’t think I’m disagreeing with you at all.

Yeah, it sucked what happened to me, but I knew what I did and didn’t do.”\n\n> In a 2014 Splitsider interview, Cook explained the joke-stealing accusations more deeply. “The reason why there wasn’t any kind of closure before [C.K.] asked me to come on the show was that I knew — I put my head on my pillow at night and I knew that the realistic truth was that Louie and I both love Steve Martin, and Steve Martin had a bit on his album about naming his kid a crazy weird name. Over the years I’ve probably seen a handful of comics have a different variation of that, and then both Louie and I had our take on a concept, and that’s very different from what we’re talking about with plagiarism where it’s exact verbatim,” he said. “And I think as you’re seeing more and more people having these side-by-sides after what happened with Louie and I, I think people are realizing more and more that that’s just kind of the way of the world when it comes to entertainment. Every couple years there’s four more Dracula movies that come out and then like a year later three tornado movies; there’s a weird universal energy that gets people thinking in and around the same ideas.

I’ve worked on bigger documentaries too, and went through SO much footage (probably more than 57 hours for a particular big film I worked on), but it’s often the assistant editor that has to go through it all first to break up what’s being discussed so that the editor and director can more easily move through everything.

It was businesses competing to create better cars and cheaper manufacturing. It doesn't matter if they own patents, because they'll still discover something, and that will still advance technology forward. Someone invented a turbo charger once to allow diesel cars to still have performance and they patented it, yet despite that being a patented technology for expensive high performance diesel cars, it is now in even the most basic diesel cars.\n\nThen think about Tesla, one company made an electric car so expensive that everyone considered it a joke. Mercedes came out and said \"we're coming for you Tesla\" and Tesla said \"good\". Because competition is what actually drives innovation. That was only about 5-10 years ago or so, and now electric cars are being made by many manufacturers. The prices are dropping down and becoming more commonplace. Governments didn't start saying they were gonna ban petrol and diesel cars until electric cars were actually viable. This was all started by a dick swinging contest between Tesla and Mercedes.

But no he doesn't do anything like that, instead he half assedly continues his shitty rocket company in some sad attempt to compete with Musk. While SpaceX has been successfully operating as a commercial space company since 2013, Blue Origin is just now launching single stage dick rockets up into the edges of the atmosphere for a few minutes before coming right back down.

So far this year, they’ve launched teicr as much mass into LEO than the rest of the world, combined. A vast majority of this being commercial launches. They are also significantly cheaper than other rocket, saving the tax payer money on each launch they win. For example, Europa Clipper was on the SLS, but moved to Falcon Heavy. This single launch saved the tax payers upwards of $2 billion. Same for the Space Force contracts. Significant savings. HLS is the same.

From where I'm sitting, I can observe that NASA and other space agencies have been capable of offering flights to space for the general population for decades and yet... we're still earthbound. It's mostly because flights are very expensive and dangerous, sure. But they also haven't developed their own cost effective launch vehicle - it took private entities to do that. Now there are half a dozen firms competing to be the most cost effective launch vehicles.\n\nMy point is that unless your flight is for the purpose of a specific \\NASA\\ mission or you've been given special dispensation from \\NASA\\ (or another space agency) to fly, you aren't going. That's wrong and needs to be fixed. Space belongs to all of us, not just for those of us serving specifically approved purposes controlled by a state-level bureaucracy interested in only an incredibly narrow scope of goals. It's the exact same problem you perceive will exist when billionaires are at the helm... except that it's already a problem today despite the situation being under the direct control of a \"democratically controlled and funded space agency\".\n\nDon't get me wrong. None of this would be possible without decades of ground-breaking by NASA, ESA, etc. And I want publicly funded pure science missions to continue. NASA's achievements in astronomy and space flight engineering are profound and absolutely \\must\\ continue. But it's time to let other people take part in space, not just people serving \\those\\ and \\only those\\ ends.\n\nYou're clearly wrong to say that only state agencies can \"serve the general public interests\" or that billionaires, apparently only because of their wealth, won't help to achieve them. That's... absurd. The state doesn't provide food and clean water for us. Commercial activity does. And some of those commercial actors are private individuals using their billions of dollars to finance companies that make a profit providing us food and water. That's the exchange we all consent to when you go to a check out counter at a grocery store. Food lines proved not to be a better solution. No. It is \\very good\\ for society that a few people are incentivized to generate new wealth by providing in-demand services to people. The fact that they make money off of it does not diminish its value to us in the slightest - in truth, it's what motivates anyone at all to provide such services rather than merely selfishly fending for themselves.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>Someone still had to pay for Blue Origin. Amazon workers payed for it with their needlessly cruel working conditions, low wages and so on. The only choice those workers have is to be unemployed or fund toys for Bezos which isn’t a choice at all. I would have it rather funded by fair Taxes where rich people pay a bigger percentage of their income and low income people pay very little.\n\nI agree and I'm not here to defend Amazon policies. And that should be addressed by congress, the judiciary, and our tax code. Those are political concerns and should be handled through political avenues. We should fix that... but we can solve many problems at the same time. If we wait to fix every problem on earth before going to space, we'll never do it. No. We can do both. There are 7.65bn people on earth. There's plenty of capacity for parallel activity.\n\nIn fact, I don't care about Bezos or Blue Origin at all. I also don't care about SpaceX and Elon Musk or Virgin Galactic and Richard Branson. I care that \\somebody, anybody, everybody possible\\ throws in and starts contributing to the new space race. Whoever they are and whatever means they have to get us there. Do it now. Let's get this snowball rolling. I'm all for responsibility in the process. And we have been responsible. Very responsible. 70 years of waiting and watching and testing and regulating and exclusivity. We shouldn't go carpeting the atmosphere in toxins and that's the role out government should play in this - setting and enforcing the rules, not gatekeeping the entirety of space through its extremely narrow scope of interest. It's \\finally\\ time to open the pass and let the rest of humanity develop space rather than the precious few who guide the reins at NASA, ESA, etc.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>Also if the past is any indication the taxes would flow back into the economy. The NASA of the past had a lot of private, competing suppliers which is much better for innovation then one or two big Companies. Patents and so on would also be handled differently.\n\nCommercial entities have just as many private, competing suppliers as NASA. They buy bolts, O2 scrubbers, engines, etc, from the same places NASA does. And the increasing number of players will mean those entities will grow more rapidly than before. More engineers can be employed. More scientists. More ecologists and biologists and doctors. There are hundreds of thousands of people qualified to participate who simply cannot because the market can't support that many mouths... yet. The market has to be developed.\n\nThere is so much wasted potential right now. I work in IT and I've interviewed nuclear engineers for programming jobs. I've known people who abandoned physics degrees because the opportunities weren't there. And there are aerospace engineers wasting their talent designing yet another private jet engine. Their talents are already being wasted. Let's put them to work building the new frontier and realize their potential contributions to humanity.\n\nThere are far more than one or two companies here. Three companies have launched private citizens to space in the past year (if I'm not mistaken). That's huge. And there are more players who want to enter the market. Those are just actual launch vehicle businesses. Their vendors and potential competitors are out there. There are entirely new markets to be created when we can finally start travelling to space with regularity.\n\nClearly there is massive economic, social, and technological potential in space - and we would be foolish to squander it away on some misguided notion that \\because it's rich people first\\, the rest of us are not going to benefit. History has shown that there is always a phase of wealthy and privileged few benefitting first with new technology before general availability disperses it out to society as a whole. We shouldn't stop trying to get to space because Jeff Bezos is going to get richer in the process. Fuck caring about how rich Jeff Bezos gets - we have real things to do with our lives besides worry about what other people get. My life may have taken a very different course if space flight was possible (for me) 20 years ago. Let's not limit yet another next generation of young enthusiastic potential space-farers because god forbid somebody make a profit in the process.\n\n&#x200B;\n\n>One last thought. There is no alternative to keeping earth livable. We as a species are currently spectacularly failing at that, even though keeping earth in tact is way easier than colonizing space.\n\nYou are correct. And some of us subscribe to the notion that moving heavy industry off-planet is the way to protect our one Earth. Some of us believe that the way to resolve our problems will come from the amazing leaps in technology our society will achieve when space stops being an exclusive laboratory for a precious few and becomes a place accessible to tens of thousands of us. We've tried everything else. So let's try something new.", "We have been saying that since the space race started.

In order to organize film permits in the film capital of the entire world, you have to do a lot of work and pay a lot of people. Not to mention the critically important requirements in the permit process, like securing insurance. The permit office may require the filmmakers to do other things like meet with concerned residents, have a permit office monitor in high traffic/dangerous areas, do public safety walkthroughs, etc.\n\n>so they are an extremely useful tool for social and economic control.\n\nAgain, I hate it. Literally inventing a wild conspiracy theory on the fly, with zero evidence. If you're a student making a commercial film, a simple permit is $26. Regular motion picture permits cost $685. The office literally exists to facilitate filming, they will guide you through the entire process if you call and ask. They distribute notice of filming flyers to residents and businesses for you, and will organize meetings between you and concerned residents. They will provide free production planning assistance and tools, like [their online location scouting library\\](https://www.locoscout.com/).

If you aren't going to impede anyone, you file for a permit and then if you do end up impeding someone during your filming, you get in trouble for it; it also means that people who are impeding others have to stay to the area they got the permit for. \n\nFor example, if I stood on the street by your home, and filmed you walking in and out of your house every day, and followed you down the street, I would not be impeding you in any way.

Why would it change?\n\nBut then, that means it can't be MI, because the homestead exemption in MI is 75k, there's no way someone would pay 2500 in tax on 5k worth of house value. \n\nSo by simply cross referencing a homestead exemption under 50k, and a state in the bottom 15 of cost of living, we get four possibilities: Bama, Tennessee, Missouri, and Michigan. \n\nBama has a sub-1% property tax statewide. Missouri has none above 2%. The highest rate in Michigan is Detroit, around 2.8-3%, which is not a low cost of living area. \n\nSo in other words, you must live in one of about 40 specific municipalities in Tennessee, I don't really feel like analyzing the population of each to find out.

Yes they could, but their performance was much poorer than Western music listeners.\n\n[...]\n\n>The Mafa tribe people may also be reacting to sound and emotion associations that originate from the way that we speak. Scientists have shown that the sound spectra – the profile of sound ingredients – that make up happy speech are more similar to happy music than sad music and vice versa.\n\nThat's an interesting hypothesis. Whether that sound spectra is part of our nature, this would be learned based on our experienced sound spectra.\n\nWhat about groups of people who grew up in other cultures? For example, the musical cultural traditions of Asian, Aboriginals, Africans, and Spaniards don't follow a musical scheme of major and minor keys as it uses a different musical scale and system. Do they have their own keys that convey optimism (I'm now revising my position from \"uplifting\" to \"optimistic\") and drama? If so, do those keys share a musical common denominator with major and minor?\n\nAnd since many people are unfamiliar with these other keys, can the same experiment be performed on them?\n\n>The tonic (C) is the strongest note and draws more of our attention, so minor chords like this trigger more sensory dissonance, a kind of tension that stems from the clashing of closely spaced frequencies.\n\nThere may be more to the argument due to unreported context, but this doesn't explain why the middle note being another semitone farther away from the tonic renders the the major chord dissonant.
