You do know that the ability to learn and retain new information slowly fades as you get older and the brain gets more and more set in its ways, right? That's why it's a lot easier for kids to learn a second language than it is for adults.
That does not mean adults can't learn a new language - just that it is more difficult. At some point the difficulty of learning something over the perceived benefit of having learned it leads to an equation where people go, "Fuck it, I'm too old for this shit." I strongly suspect, without knowing him, that your father has reached that point regardless of how smart and wise he is. It doesn't matter how interested he is - the difficulty is greater than the interest.

You seem to misunderstand what 'plausible fact' is. It doesn't sound very plausible that killing other civilians within your own country would ever be permitted anywhere. Instead it sounds like hyperbole, which is exactly what it is.
You are trying to turn the discussion into one of which words a given person chooses rather than the actual topic at hand, which is gambling, the addiction to gambling, the effects of said addiction on the human mind, and whether loot boxes in computer games have the same effect.
Do you work for a game company, either directly or indirectly?
First, I'm from Europe. Second, I didn't say that buildings never get that old - but let's be honest, there AREN'T many buildings left that are approaching a thousand years old and are still in such good repair that they get renovated rather than finally torn down.
There are very few buildings still standing after ~850 years.
You could of course ask what is so special about any building - they are just stacked pieces of stone and wood, after all. But after a while they become local landmarks, then regional, then cultural heritage.
You could also ask what is so special about the Eiffel Tower, or the White House, or the Great Wall of China.
The proper tools are two thirds of the work. You CAN hammer a nail into a piece of wood using a rock, but a hammer makes it so much easier and more accurate.
I'm on the older G110 and love it. It's possible to both game and type like this without getting angry comments from the rest of the living room about the clacking noise, and the key size and spacing seems to fit my fingers perfectly - or I've just adapted to it over the many years I've used it.
Is the danger of vaping as opposed to not vaping greater or lesser than the danger of inhaling air in the city as opposed to way out in the open country?
My mother did that all of once, and slapped me across the face once as well. I'd like to think I came out somewhat decently on the other side of it all.
The thing about punishment is it stops working if you do it all the time, it just becomes par for the course. There has to be a shock effect to it if you want it to be effective.

Slashvertisement at its finest. Scrolled back up to check on a hunch and yup, Ms. Mash.

Your post shows why you don't buy a keyboard that is too cheap.

Good. Cheap. Reliable.
Pick two.

You're missing the part where Uber isn't a ride sharing service but a pirate taxi service.
Because I don't live in a city, and the nearest place to buy groceries is about 10 km away.
Pretty sure it was deliberate.
On a side-note, time to rename NFC to No Fucking Clue.
Please don't say that all Europeans did that unless you want us to say that all Americans voted for their current president.
But your title doesn't offer sufficient amounts of fellatio to Microsoft!
Seriously, that original title and blurb just reeks of trying to mock the EU for wanting an American company to play by the rules.

France is a country and has one set of laws.
Italy is a country and has one set of laws.
America is a country and has ... fifty sets of laws?
For a European it truly boggles the mind that you can have laws that are NOT the law in the entire country.

So what you're saying is you're a cop?
I can put my finger on it. It's the idea that one event can have more than one cause. Americans are generally unable to grasp that concept.
Children also learned that sharing their cookies was a good and kind thing to do, and that being good and kind are traits to admire not ridicule.
Your post basically comes across as a self-centered and entitled ME FIRST AND SCREW SOCIETY!
As long as you can put in "taught", "taken", and "nuked" and the sentence would keep making sense, then no, the verb can't just be inferred.
You accidentally an entire word.
Only by the definition of the MPAA.
