@MichaelHall I think there is a significant difference between religious/spiritual practices and supposed "medications" that have been repeatedly demonstrated to have no effect.
Someone
Feb 22, 2024 17:46
@Tashus That could work, although "THIS PRODUCT HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO HAVE NO EFFECT" would be more accurate. That could definitely be an option; if people want to keep wasting their money on placebos despite being told they don't work, I suppose that's not really a problem the government needs to solve.

I posted a meta question: law.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1862/…
Someone

If I'm going to answer a question for several jurisdictions, should I do one combined answer, or one answer per jurisdiction?
Someone

@Jen Thank you! I'll leave it in the future to avoid unnecessary bumps, unless I'm editing the question anyway.
Someone

Since the question about any-jurisdiction is now tagged status-review, does that mean there's no need to edit more questions to remove the tag? I've been removing it from questions as I come across them, but not going through the list systematically to avoid flooding the home page; if it will be removed from all questions soon, there's probably no need even for that.

While it is a question now, it is still about politics, not law. Perhaps you could ask on politics.stackexchange.com instead?

@DKNguyen since this is a hypothetical, let's assume that America is the country being invaded. It's quite common here for civilians to carry guns for personal self-defense, so the fact that someone has a gun doesn't make them a combatant. The gun could be concealed, so the soldier wouldn't know he was armed until he drew the gun to fire. And I don't see anything indicating how far apart T is from the enemy soldier? He could be in his house, with an advancing soldier at his door.
Someone
Feb 2, 2024 04:00
@DKNguyen if the civilian talks at all before firing, that could make it quite clear. If T says, "You're not taking over my country as long as I have any say in it!" and fires, he's quite clearly acting as a combatant. If he says, "I'm a civilian! Don't shoot!" then fires when an enemy soldier continues threatening him, he's defending himself.
Someone

@DKNguyen I don't think they're necessarily the same; shooting at someone because you they're trying to kill you is quite different from shooting at them because they're trying to take over your government.
Someone
Feb 2, 2024 04:00
Would the answer be different if T were only defending himself and his family against harm, and not trying to otherwise hinder the advancing army?

Isn't it possible that someone could attend medical school and learn just as much about anesthesiology as a surgical anesthesiologist would know, but then not take any oath, so ethics rules wouldn't be binding? That would only work if that person only administered anesthesia to prisoners being executed, so it might be a practical issue even if it's a legal possibility?

The author seems to think furriest identify as animals, so maybe he's thinking that for them to act like humans is indeed "anthropomorphic"? It's more likely that he just doesn't know what the wor d"anthropomorphic" means, though.

@phoog I edited the question to link to the Wikipedia articles on otherkin (that article also covers therians) and on the furry fandom.

Someone

I don't see why a specific bill to address therian, otherkin, and furries would ever be necessary. If their behavior is disruptive, it's already prohibited. If not, then it isn't the government's place to stop it.
Someone

Of course, the normal limitations on 1A rights in the context of schools apply here, but that doesn't change the fact that allowing students to believe and say odd things isn't giving them special privileges.
Someone
Jan 20, 2024 21:45
While I believe it is silly to say "I am a cat," and a delusion to actually think that, it doesn't change the fact that it is constitutionally protected speech. It's covered under the same First Amendment right we all have - and can only be infringed if there is a compelling governmental interest. If students could say, "I am a cat," and other students could not respond, "No, you're not," that would give special privileges to the therian student, but just allowing them to identify as animals is not a special privilege.
Someone
Jan 20, 2024 21:45
@StuartF to avoid the "anthropomorphic" part and the "furry" part, you have to act like a plant. But you can't act like a VeggieTales character! They're anthropomorphic. Students just have to stay in one place and do nothing at school.

@Lambie I'm a high school student, so it would make sense that I'm asking a high-school level question :) I do understand that most questions on this site are higher-level than this, but I think it is still on-topic.
Someone
Jan 11, 2024 16:30
@Lambie according to Dictionary.com, "linguistics" is "the science of language, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and historical linguistics." Isn't this question about syntax?
Someone
Jan 11, 2024 16:30
@Lambie I have read that article, and I know that "CQ is a station code used by wireless operators... particularly used by those communicating in Morse code, but also by voice operators, to make a general call (called a CQ call)." That does not answer the question: does "CQ" have a part of speech, and if so, what is it? It is a code, but it is used in a sentence as a word, so it seems that it would have a part of speech. I can repost this on ELU if it would be better there, but I thought this site was better because the question isn't actually specific to English (eg "CQ CQ CQ, yo soy XE1ABC")
Someone

("CQ" originated as an abbreviation of the French word sécurité, meaning "safety," as it was originally used as a prosign on wireline telegraphs by railroad operators for safety information.)
Someone
Jan 11, 2024 16:30
I've never seen CQ used as an adjective before.
Someone
Jan 11, 2024 16:30
@Lambie what is "CQ code"? I've never heard that term as a ham radio operator. There's the 92 code and the Q code, but no "CQ code." CQ is one of several CW prosigns, a set of what were originally brevity codes for use over Morse.
Someone

@LjL good point; I guess "ATM machine" would be a compound noun?
Someone
Jan 11, 2024 16:30
ATM is an abbreviation for "automated teller machine," so it is a noun.
Someone
Jan 11, 2024 16:30
@Lambie to be used vocatively, it must be a substantive, right? Since it would fit with "call CQ" as well, does that mean it is used as a noun or pronoun meaning "all stations"? (One could say "All station, all stations, all station, this is KA1XYZ calling all stations and standing by" and communicate the same information)
Someone
Jan 11, 2024 16:30
@ColinFine since CQ is incorporated into an English sentence, won't it have a part of speech?
Someone
Jan 11, 2024 16:30
@Lambie yes, I know CQ is a code, but "code" is not a part of speech as far as I know.

With that code you can take the array IDs as arguments to custom blocks
Somebody
Dec 17, 2023 18:38
You can simulate multidimensional arrays by having the top level array's items be the numbers of other arrays
Somebody

And array items cannot contain spaces
