    I view this as a checklist of brand names that require additional assistance in falling off of the trademark cliff and crashing down onto the rocks of common usage below.

    The thread showcasing your arguments and your desire for OP's death isn't the win that you believe it is. It makes you seem unhinged and divorced from reality. The thought process on display comes across as delusional, even sociopathic.

    The large number of meetings of these two teams owes more to their longevity and the circumstances of earlier eras of MLB than any current lack of parity among franchises. The Dodgers have been around since the late 1800s, the Yankees since 1903.

    Since 2003, the Yankees have been to two World Series. In that same span of time, the Dodgers have been in three. Three other NL teams have had just as many WS appearances as LA in those two decades: the Cardinals, the Phillies, and the Giants. Six AL teams have had as many or more WS appearances than the Yankees: Boston, Houston, Detroit, Tampa Bay, Kansas City, and Texas. It should be noted that the Astros have had five total WS appearances in that time, with one in 2005 representing the NL before they moved to the AL in 2013.

    There have been eleven teams other than the Dodgers who won the NL pennant in the past twenty years. There have been eight AL pennant winners other than the Yankees. MLB currently has thirty total teams split evenly between the NL and AL. Including the Dodgers and Yankees, the NL has been represented by 80% of its teams in the past twenty WS, and the AL by 60%.

    Judging by WS appearances, there seems to be reasonably good parity, and there is no evidence of strong bias towards either of the teams in question.

    Being tech savvy doesn't automatically bestow knowledge of good opsec.

    I wouldn't assume that a guy who builds top-fuel dragster engines could tell me how to avoid a speed trap.

    TotallynotJessica is TotallynotWrong. The value of a person's life is immeasurable. If we first accept that statement as bedrock fact, then proceed logically from that starting point, better ways of relating to those around us naturally emerge.

    You guys have an opportunity for good, honest discussion if you can both avoid behaviors like seeking refuge by invoking logical fallacies as if they're eldritch wards of protection and viewing conversations that take place between parties who disagree as contests that must be won.

    A collection of symptoms is a syndrome. Once there is a known definite cause, reclassification as a disease can take place. Lay misuse of the terms and reluctance to adopt updated designations have aided in a loss of distinction in what they refer to.

    There is something else entirely to be said for how quickly one can progress from the disbelief of a particular diagnosis as anything beyond a punchline to descanting over the marvels of modern medicine as they relate to futher study of the mechanisms. If nothing else, it's a great reminder of how much information is available to us on a whim.

    Which one of your .ml buddies got banned from a community or instance, why did it inspire you to post such a contrived "question" in this community, and how clever did you convince yourself that your little pet hypothetical was when you hit "send?"
