The idea was as she got older he wouldn't date younger than her current age. Weird and creepy but not the weird and creepy way you think.

"In 3 years when you're 20 I won't be dating an 18-year-old."

This was in 2006

Trump married Melenia in 2005

So imagine saying this after being married to your wife for a year.

Here's another quote of him saying he has no age limit only to back track and then "weaved" to bring up another senator's folly to divert attention on what he almost just let get confirmed.

Things got a little weird after co-host Robin Quivers asked Trump if he had “an age limit.”

Trump fumbled a bit at the response.

“If I— No, no, I have no age— I mean, I have an age li—” Trump said, while Quivers asked him “the upper bracket” of his limit.

You don't trust the guy that made a promise to his 17 year old daughter that he'd never date younger than her?

And not only make that promise but went on Howard Stern and openly told the world about it?

It's bizarre. Like just that one comment is enough to make me not want to stand up for the guy.

As someone with long hair and a long beard I haven't been carded in basically 10+ years.

Last weekend I got carded buying a beer with my parents-in-laws. Of course one of the very few times I didn't have my ID.

Two 65+ people order a beer and then like, oh we'll get your beer on our tab to make things easier. Bartender "I'll need to see his ID"

We all couldn't believe it. I wasn't upset or anything, it was just kind of absurd feeling. I've been drinking for almost 20 years.

It's one of those situations where common sense should be allowed to be used.

And add a company logo on the front like football jerseys. Two rival Russian companies.

A libertarian who decides they want no government control is an anarchist.

If they want limited government control they are libertarians.

They are similar but differ on a key issue, government control. And that's the biggest issue for anarchists.

If I say I am an anarchist it means I do not want the government in public libraries at all.

Now if you need to rip the bandage off fast or slow is debatable, but there is no debate on if the bandage needs to come off completely for an anarchist.

If I say I am a libertarian it means I want the government limited in public libraries.

Again, how fast it needs to change is debatable.

They both rely on the goodness of the people rather than a government. They both share pretty much the exact same ideology, other that anarchists are for "No Authority" and libertarians are for "Limited Government"

Personally, I don't think a public library would exist in today's world without the government.

You want me to donate money so people who cannot afford books can go and check out physical copies of books they can look at digitally for free?

I'm better off donating to a homeless shelter or another cause.

Libraries are only good for homeless and poor now because we currently do not give them better options.

It would make sense for bars with ice chests that served bottled beer in glasses

You can't call yourself a communist and only want socialism.

What you're describing is libertarianism

Limited government control (Against Anarchy). Highest personal freedom (For Anarchy).

Both anarchists and libertarians would argue that the people would fund a "public" library if the government didn't. That has not been tested.

Anarchists are against public ran and funded libraries.

If anarchists got their way there would be no state to run the public library

You could make the argument that something like "free little library" or just people supporting the idea of neighborhood free libraries is proof

But no true anarchist is going to be happy paying taxes to a state for the state to decide what books are available to them.

Planned obsolescence would be if they made their bricks break on purpose so you had to buy replacement bricks.

Scarcity marketing? I don't know what the exact term would be that you're referring to. But with retirement.

I think it has to do more with Lego not being able to produce thousands of thousands of different sets.

Like you don't just simply ask the Lego printer to make Margaret Hamilton Lego sets for a dozen people then tell it to go back to printing the newest set.

Lego couldn't make every set available if it wanted to

Eye-Dee-eR

Or

Eye-Dee-Uh

I.D. is Eye-D

It's missing a last syllable

Most people I know say Eye-Dee-Uh. And the Uh is exaggerated.

I.D.er works.

Bouncer: You have to show me your I.D., I'm the I.D.er

Hillbilly: You're what idea?
