Thus, when Chief Justice Roberts claims that his decision has "nothing to do" with the Japanese internment case, and that it is "wholly inapt" to compare the two situations — he even slams the minority for striving for a cheap "rhetorical advantage" by mentioning the case — don't believe it.

Kafka's contradictory striving for and disavowal of collective belonging, what he called his "we-weakness," makes for instructive reading in our own era of renewed tribal polarization — in which group identity is frequently defined in axiomatic and exclusionary terms, the better to be used as a bludgeon against others.

Far from a relic of a less sophisticated era or an embarrassing marker of an out-of-touch bar and an uninventive bartender, when done properly the caipirinha can capture the qualities the city's top bartenders are striving for, being both distinctly Brazilian and a showcase of skill.

While many organizations — notably arts and entertainment institutions influenced heavily by the Me Too Movement and Time's Up movement — are striving for 50/50 gender equality by 2020, the unfortunate reality is that the tech industry has a long way to go to get anywhere near this number.

"There is a difference between striving for the truth, striving to understand, professional journalists, professional editors doing their best to understand and convey that to the public, which I honestly believe the New York Times newsroom tries to do, and people who are just literally making it up," he said.

Almost all of them follow the same general blueprint that Netflix is now adopting for their Christmas fare: There is a woman who is maybe a little lost and striving for something new in her life, and a man/family/small American town/fictional European country helps her find her way.

I'm looking to see how the sacred oaks come whispering through a man like Clive, now striving for people on death row or places like Gitmo for thirty-five years, but worried his son doesn't see the proper merits of "Monty Python" or grasp its direct descent from the Goons.

In 1998, as a former owner of the Motor City Bar on the Lower East Side, I knew squatters, D.J.s, musicians, artists and addicts, all struggling to pay rent, all striving for social justice and rarely catching a break the way that Charlotte, Carrie, Miranda and Samantha effortlessly seemed to.

A roomful of students discussing someone else's prose don't add material — they take it away, and so the general tendency of most workshops, at least in my experience, is to pare back the language and the story, which produces a kind of polish, but not the only kind worth striving for.

AMC's martial arts drama about warring feudal barons in a post-apocalyptic America couldn't be accused of striving for prestige status; the show's over-the-top sensibility of elaborate costuming, souped-up Mad Max-esque vehicles, and an inability to slow down for longer than a single scene wouldn't allow it.

And the tasks are extremely simple, goading the player into believing that once they get a good sequence going—and what are players if not puzzle-solvers striving for better, faster ways to surpass obstacles—they'll knock out all the busywork quickly and get to the real point of the game.

After the initial horror of the baby's abduction (I mean it, young parents, I'm not joking around here: stay home) the film avoids conventional scares for more than an hour, and while some may find this creates an enticingly moody atmosphere, I found it mostly dull—a filmmaker striving for significance through withholding.

"At the end of the day, we're all people and we're all striving for life, liberties, and the pursuit of happiness... Any space where we can aim for that connection and break down this idea that only men do certain things and only women do certain things is really important for everyone."

"These guys march to a different drummer, they're not motivated by the establishment of the (autonomous region), they do not see an ethnic Maguindanaon-led political entity as the goal they have been striving for," she said, referring to the ethnic group which stands to gain autonomy under the proposed devolution of powers.

While striving for empathy, or at least to keep in mind the feeling you had the last time that one of the dudes from Chapo Trap House's willful misunderstanding of the work of Andrew Eldritch made you see red, we don't have to let some theoretical fan's potential sorrow dictate our online behavior.

But Cravalho's casting in relation to her age is still noteworthy, in that it reflects how Disney is striving for authenticity with Moana, from its Pacific Isles setting to its soundtrack (which includes contributions from New Zealand Pacific music singer-songwriter Opetaia Foa'i) to its casting (which also includes Johnson, who is of Samoan descent).

But with probiotic foods having proved a healthy gut staple in many cultures across the world for thousands of years, and our contemporary urban environments giving rise to a larger number of skin issues, balancing the "rainforest" that lives in your gut — and on your skin — could well lead to the glowing, clear complexion you've been striving for.

The 2015 Paris Agreement, a global pact to fight climate change agreed to by nearly 200 countries, aims to keep the Earth's temperature rise well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 F), striving for 1.5 degrees (2.7 F). But even that would require a radical reduction of climate-warming greenhouse gas emissions, a landmark U.N. report found last year.

Although, or rather just because, power is the unavoidable means, and striving for power is one of the driving forces of all politics, there is no more harmful distortion of political force than the parvenu-like braggart with power, and the vain self-reflection in the feeling of power, and in general every worship of power per se.

"The Americans needed to understand that the collapse of the PA — in such a manner that there will be no way to implement the two-state solution, as quite a few elements in the Netanyahu government are striving for — will lead to the entry of extremist elements, perhaps associated with Iran," a Palestinian source told Haaretz.

Automaker Hyundai wants you to know that it's also embracing the race to autonomous driving — but it's also hoping to do so in a way that differs from the approaches of most automakers, in striving for tech that will both be available in vehicles owned by individuals, and that will actually be affordable for a good portion of car buyers.

Postmodernists, Heer wrote, describe a world where Fragmented sound bites have replaced linear thinking, where nostalgia ("Make America Great Again") has replaced historical consciousness or felt experiences of the past, where simulacra is indistinguishable from reality, where an aesthetic of pastiche and kitsch (Trump Tower) replaces modernism's striving for purity and elitism, and where a shared plebeian culture of vulgarity papers over intensifying class disparities.

However, instead of striving for such a realistic objective in a place whose residents do not even consider Afghanistan to be a country, NATO policy nationalized the conflict and deployed Afghan soldiers to far-flung locales to fight for people and turf to which they felt no bond, all while attempting to build Afghanistan into something it never wanted to be: a centralized, westernized nation state.

In a twist, Mr. Manafort's ouster came after a week in which Mr. Trump had taken several steps toward the kind of normalized candidacy that Mr. Manafort had been striving for: The Republican nominee gave three speeches in which he generally stuck to a script; he mostly attacked Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent, while refraining from berating other Republicans; and, on Friday, he began running his first television advertisements.

These writers describe a world where the visual has triumphed over the literary, where fragmented sound bites have replaced linear thinking, where nostalgia ("Make America Great Again") has replaced historical consciousness or felt experiences of the past, where simulacra is indistinguishable from reality, where an aesthetic of pastiche and kitsch (Trump Tower) replaces modernism's striving for purity and elitism, and where a shared plebeian culture of vulgarity papers over intensifying class disparities.

And then they get to that age where that—like it did to all of us—scares the shit out of you, and you have to rebuild your whole thought process so that you can live with yourself in a world that would tell you otherwise, would tell you that there's something wrong with you for not being in line with striving for monetary success and adhering to certain ideologies politically, or religiously.

It is like being on the phone all night, they do put video up and they clearly are interacting as real people, but it's all digitally ... it's a photograph and then a filter on it and then a funny ... that's how they ... Communicating with Snap is different to communicating with different platforms, and it's much less perfect, you're not striving for this terrific thing, the thing is designed to disappear on you.

Over at Brain Pickings, Maria Popova says they go a little something like this: A "fixed mindset" assumes that our character, intelligence, and creative ability are static givens that we can't change in any meaningful way, and success is the affirmation of that inherent intelligence — an assessment of how those givens measure up against an equally fixed standard; striving for success and avoiding failure at all costs become a way of maintaining the sense of being smart or skilled.

We cannot isolate Russia, and NATO doesn't want a new Cold War, we do not want a new arms race, so therefore we are striving for a more constructive relationship with Russia, but that has to be built on strength, and a firm and predictable approach from NATO, but as long as we stand together, as long as we are strong, then we can also engage in political dialogue with Russia, try to diffuse the tensions and to create a more constructive relationship.

What they're saying: On Tuesday, the Party convened a gathering at the anniversary at which Xi Jinping urged patriotism among youth, striving for brighter China (Xinhua): My thought bubble: Be wary of underestimating how many believe in the patriotic and increasingly jingoistic propaganda and Xi's repeated claims that China is closer than it has ever been to national rejuvenation, or of how many sycophants and opportunists there are in a country as large as China which see safety and opportunity in embracing the Party line.

Ferry's creamily elegant rendering of the epic, which tries to "correct" the text's oddness, is likely to leave you wondering why critics both ancient and modern have scratched their heads over Virgil's verse—his occasionally jarring or archaic diction (mocked by one Roman littérateur who made his point by writing a parody of the poet's early work); his "tasteless striving for effect," as Augustus's friend and general Agrippa complained; his "use of words too forcible for his thoughts," as A. E. Housman put it two millennia later.
