You're still assuming what you're trying to prove. You assert that all causation must be temporal, but that's the very proposition under debate, which philosohers like Aquinas and other christian thinkers dont assert. A lack of empirical examples is not a logical contradiction...

Which part of the timeline are you confused about? How do you think causal relationships work? Can someone retire in response to a challenge being taken up after said retirement? What even is this? You assert that its "obvious" someone higher up in the Church had a chat with him (and rightfully so, no doubt). Can you support that with anything? Provide some proof? Why is it obvious? But, lets just assume that's true for a moment, and his Bishop directed him to stop debating online: so what? Does it surprise you that an Orthodox Christian is obedient to the authority of the Church? Do you have anything substantive to say, preferably something which is based in reality?

Yes, and we're saying you are insane to assume that. You are bizarre. If a younger guy asked an older guy to buy them a drink at a club, are the underage? Or are they making a power play to assert their own desirability? It's the same thing. You're insane.

Now this is the Africa we want, where an African can go to another African Country and be an assert. Not this sharing of hunger, Many Africans migrate without any vision they just go to any country without thinking about the future.

Someone asked how long do we bow. How long did China bow? Roughly 40 years. 40 years of being dismissed. 40 years of being handed the manufacturing contracts, the menial labor, the work that required hands but supposedly not brains. 40 years of Western powers genuinely believing, not as propaganda but as sincere conviction, that China would never develop its own IP. That they simply didn't have the intellectual capacity to compete at that level. China knew what they were being told. They heard it. And they made a decision: we will use this moment. We will take the contracts. We will learn the systems. We will build quietly. And we will not move until we are ready. Now Trump, the most aggressive economic nationalist America has produced in a generation, had to fly to negotiate with them. That is what 40 years of strategic patience looks like on the other end. So to answer your question directly: you bow until you don't have to anymore. But here's what separates strategy from submission. You have to know WHY you're bowing. You have to know WHAT you're building while you bow. And you have to know WHEN to stand up. The danger isn't bowing. The danger is bowing with no plan. Bowing with no timeline. Bowing and forgetting that you're bowing. China never forgot. And when China finally decided to stand up, the world didn't just realize China had caught up technologically. They realized China had quietly cornered the supply of rare earth metals. The raw materials that every smartphone, every electric vehicle, every semiconductor, every advanced weapons system on earth depends on. They had been sitting on that leverage the entire time. Quietly. While the West laughed at them. That's not an accident. That's a 40 year plan executing exactly as designed. Nobody gave China that power. Nobody handed it to them. They built it in plain sight while being underestimated. And the moment they chose to assert it, the entire global technology economy had to reckon with them. That is what it looks like when a people decide to play the longest game in the room. Not the tweet. Not the outrage. Not the moral grandstanding. The rare earth metals nobody thought to watch them accumulate. Our generation has to decide what our rare earth metals are. What is the thing we are going to build, corner, and control, quietly, patiently, with discipline, so that when we finally stand up, the world has no choice but to reckon with us. That's the question I'm interested in. Everything else is noise.

This is like saying "Only 3% of people evicted for non payment of rent had a violent criminal conviction". One thing has nothing to do with the other, mostly. Theres 23 reasons to be deemed removed as a guest of the US (either "lawfully present" or not), among them one could have committed, to the standard of the immigration court, a violent crime. Conviction not needed. It's not a criminal proceeding, just "cancelling" the guest pass. Media is conflating the conviction rate of violent crime with the reasons that can get you removed (criminal acts being one, but merely being present without permission is another, voting is another, and for 3% of them that managed to not get removed during their criminal trial, it's good to be unlawful in the Merrick Garland era. If you don't like that apparently unfair lack of "due process", that law (to give immigration court ability to assert removal without a trial) was passed 78-10 in the Senate and repeatedly upheld in SCOTUS 7-2 and 8-1.

Omg she's T posing to assert dominance 😮🤯

seeing coworkers be more committed to talking shit to assert their own dominance instead of recognizing its coming from lack of control on the situation is infuriating. like your work opp has more in common with you than the hope of a position management has proven you won’t get.

so scared of being blocked by smatary i blocked him first to assert dominance

It's why they cling to the stranger down the alley caricature about rapists & assert authority to define rape as only that.

I assert that none of these things are in the Book of Mormon, and you respond by quoting the Bible?

The point is simple. Borson asserted in his original post that because Everton accepted they gained sporting advantage from their actions, that this meant they could no longer argue “date of breach” on appeal. This is nonsense. They can appeal what the Panel decided in paras 60-62 and if successful, it becomes inconsequential whether they gained sporting advantage or not. I’m not saying they will be successful with such an appeal. It could go either way. There is non-binding precedent of it going either direction. But to assert this argument is “already lost” and that they can only appeal the scale of the impact (points won) like Borson did is incorrect synthesis.

A high-stakes match unfolds with Nigeria seeking to assert dominance against Portugal's elite roster.

what an transparent lie you tell. For a handful of Portuguese traders to be responsible they would have had to possess literal god-like might and power enabling them to fundamentally change the Indian mindset and what it means to be Indian. And to do this while restricted to a handful of coastal enclaves they would have had to be gods n Earth to make such deep enduring changes to the fundamentals of Hindu belief. It's truly odd the Portuese spent their efforts on creating the Indian caste system we see today instead of trying to do what they did everywhere else which was Christianizing the country. It's truly amazing that Indians successfully fended off those efforts to remain Hindu yet somehow were defeated in the battle of ideas and adopted the Portuguese created caste system almost instantly. A mental conquest so absolute that Indians continue to practice it hundreds of years after Portugal's 1500s era empire lost its leading role in the world. What's extremely ironic is that for you to be right Indians leaders and commoners alike would have had to have been incredibly soft-tended, stupid people for such a tiny # of Portuguese traders restricted to coastal enclaves to remake the Indian people's mindset and belief system going back 1000s of years. Honestly I'd think the legendary Indian pride of place would prevent any self-respecting Indian from blaming such a tiny country for having an impact on them simply as a result of reinterpreting varna in the coastal enclaves they controlled. The truth is India has always been to large to be changed by outsiders. Not even hundreds of years of Islamic rule could force India to become part of the Islamic world even as outer regions of the Greater Indian cultural sphere fell to them. In light of that, the utter total absurdity of what you assert becomes clear and makes it impossible to believe that somehow tiny, ultimately historically insignificant Portugal succeeded changing India and in doing so succeeded where Islam failed.

They always score without mercy They don’t just win but assert dominance

Parents from across Ireland met in Dublin today to discuss how we can proactively assert our role as primary educators. We are not your partners, and we are not your stakeholders @Education_Ire @NCCAie @1Hildegarde @NormaFoleyTD1 @DeptCDE — and you have our full attention. Thanks to @Jklunden for all the work on this. It was a really enjoyable day, and it was great to meet and talk with parents and grandparents. Photo from a session about how we got here!

😂You answered your own fucking question. How well do you know the English language? I’m esl too but fuck. You asked: "When did anyone assert actual policies are being made?" That’s LITERALLY a politician’s job. Please be careful out there.

Again me saying something doesn’t exist… means you have to assert it does if you want to contradict me! Logic obliges! If I said Santa doesn’t exist… would you ask for a source?

No! It occurred when Trump descend the Escalator. That event gave permission to those who were terrified of the future to assert themselves on multiple levels. We have experienced such moments in the past and in each instance the movement lost energy and fell by the wayside.
