does infrastructure only mean roads in their world, because in my world it includes things like pipes and wires and structures

Yes. The Republicans explicitly said that building green power capability should not be in the bill only "roads and bridges."

Violent sports aren't going away, but I do hear parents actually deciding not to let their kids play full contact stuff any more.

Football as a game will likely slowly transition to one of the safer variations we have now(like touch or flag), and will become a sport you encourage your kid to do because they have no other options, not instead of other options.

I feel like hockey is already there. I don't think many canadians are giving up futures as surgeons to play hockey, tho I may be wrong

There will always be canadians who aren't good at much but hitting someone.

Aykroyds' ghost sex scene is something I'll never unsee.

I saw that poo poo as a kid so I can probably blame some sexual hangup on it.

My memory of the movie was taped off TV so I never saw the scene until I was in college. It really should have been cut.

It was originally part of a longer scene, but it got (mostly) cut since it didn't fit into the film's pacing.

The more I learn about Ghostbusters, the more it's clear that the movie was brilliant despite Dan Aykroyd's best efforts.

I remember reading about the cops that literally gave the escaped-from-a-cannibal-serial-killer dude back to Dahmer, and thinking holy poo poo that's hosed up. All I knew was what the newspaper said, so little did I know at the time that they weren't duped so much as viciously negligent to the point of being complicit. I used to hope they had nightmares and cold sweats from it, but that doesn't come close.

I always feel it necessary to add that one of the cops responsible not only was reinstated, but later was elected president of the police union.

I don't think it's particularly feasible to persuade/educate the broader public that "abolish" actually means "totally reset and reform" in this context.

If one is chatting with a neighbor they're on good terms with and the neighbor expresses confusion and doubt about the phrase "abolish the police", you don't try browbeat them into submission and demand they educate themselves (I hope). If a plain-English reading understandably creates confusion, why not change the messaging?

Yes. If your catchy slogan requires someone to go read a lengthy essay about why the plain-English meaning isn't the actual meaning, your slogan sucks.

He’s right, if you’re paying someone that is supposed to do something but won’t unless you pay them personally it’s a grease payment and not a “bribe”. Just like a campaign donation isn’t a bribe.

Yes this means whether or not giving some foreign customs officer $100 to get into a country is a US federal crime depends on the exact phrasing in a conversation with them.
