- No, because Trump’s second administration should be considered alongside his first, so there haven’t been any “future presidents” yet, except arguably Biden.

Imagine it’s the first day of a college class. There are enough seats in the classroom for everyone who is registered, but there are many students trying to add the class so there are not enough seats for everyone attending that day. Should the professor tell the students who are trying to add to give up their seats for those who are registered or should seats be on a first-come-first-serve basis?
- The students who are registered should have priority for the seats.
- If you want a seat, get there early.

This is a dilemma I have struggled with my whole life and am still not sure of the answer to.
You enter a family-run Mexican restaurant in a Hispanic neighborhood in an American city and approach the smiling Latina woman at the counter. Assume that you know just about enough Spanish to carry out this simple transaction. You step to the counter and…
(If you don’t like Mexican food, sub in the cuisine/language of your choice)
- I address her in English because we are in the United States.
- I address her in English because I don’t want to offend her by implicitly assuming she can’t speak English.
- I address her in Spanish out of courtesy, since this is clearly a Spanish-speaking space.
- I address her in Spanish because I worry she might not understand if I order in English.
- It has never occurred to me to think about this before, and I’m sure she couldn’t care less what language I order tacos in.
- I address her in some other language, because I like confusing people.
- I don’t like Mexican food and didn’t read the poll carefully.
- I never eat any sort of ethnic food and I want everyone to know it.

The second New Moon after the northern hemisphere’s Winter Solstice is called:
- Chinese New Year
- Spring Festival
- Lunar New Year (or Luni-Solar New Year)
- Other

voters
Why?
- Call it “Chinese New Year”. Calling it something else is disrespectful to Chinese people and culture
- Call it something else. Calling it “Chinese” is disrespectful to cultures who are not Chinese but do celebrate the holiday.
- Call it something else because we disapprove of the current Chinese regime’s policies.

You are about to embark on a 1.5 hour trip home via freeway. Someone says “Drive safely!”
- “Drive safely” is a huge insult; it implies that any chaos/trouble on the freeway is a direct result of your own driving. Or at least that you are not smart enough to realize it is better to drive in a safe manner.
- “Drive safely” is more like a blessing/wish, which could better be expressed by something like “Have a safe journey!” or “Safe travels!”

While reading another thread I kept thinking that the phrase “dotcom company” sounds old fashioned to me now. Like, it’s so early 2000s.
What do you think?
- Yes, “dotcom company” sounds dated.
- Maybe. I didn’t think it was, but I’m not up on all the changes in how people speak since 20-25 years ago.
- No, everyone still says that.

In English, every letter has a one-syllable name except for W, which has a three-syllable name. This is an unacceptable state of affairs. What makes W so special? How much time has been wasted over the years by saying “double you” which could have been devoted to more productive endeavors? I propose that W shall henceforth be called simply “dub”.
- I enthusiastically support your proposal, and will join your army if force is necessary to implement it.
- I offer lukewarm support and wish you the best of luck.
- I support the idea of changing the name but I would like the new name to be something other than “dub”.
- I am a narrow minded reactionary opponent of progress, and I oppose this idea.
- I think we should just avoid the problem by dropping W from the alphabet. The ancient Romans built a world-spanning empire without it, so who needs it?
- Something else.
