In the Republic, it basically goes: aristocracy (of philosophers) -> aristocracy (of warriors) -> oligarchy -> democracy -> tyranny

Yeah, the title could have easily just been: "Supreme Court upholds ban on emergency abortions in Texas" and it would be way clearer

Honest question: how does this work for corporations? Does that mean a particular employee of a corporation holds the copyright, or can the corporation itself (e.g. Disney) as a legal "person" hold a copyright?

In my Kroger store there's just one aisle with a big tv to remind you that you're on camera... The aisle with diapers and baby food.

Just guessing but:

  1. He's gay and that might turn off some swing voters especially people who are already hesitant about having a black woman at the top of the ticket
  2. He's never won any election beyond a municipal one, so he may be seen as electorally untested.
  3. His resume is a bit thin with just his time as a mayor of a small town and time as the transportation secretary.

It also diminishes the political power of regions where there are more undocumented immigrants by giving them less representation in the House

Yeah, OP should take this as a opportunity to work on assignment design and course policies for the next time. There have been plenty of times where students did something that I viewed or suspected as dishonest but didn't report them for it because I hadn't designed my assignments well or didn't have a clear policy against it.

I went to a hipster restaurant about a decade ago where they served fries with a shot glass full of chocolate milk shake on the side for dunking. It was really tasty ngl

If/when your kid gets sick (like with a cold/cough), there's very little that you can do. Most common medicines aren't approved for kids under 2. Consider buying a decent humidifier which can at least help keep their mucus more liquidity and help their breathing at night.

Every kid has different challenges that will really push to your limit at some point. Some kids have difficulty sleeping, some have difficulty eating, some have speech delays, some have gross motor delays, etc. You don't always know what your kid's particular difficulties will be but just keep working at it and do your best.

Start reading and singing to your kid as soon as their born. It's a great bonding activity and it's great for their brain/language development. You don't need a ton of books, you don't need to know a ton of kids songs, just do whatever you can.

Check out your local library (if there is one). There's usually lots of programming for young kids. They don't just have books, but sometimes also toys and other activities that you can check out. It's also a good place to meet and socialize with other parents.
