However, there is fatal flaw to this argument—as an overall macro strategyfor reducing poverty, it will be ineffective unless we also increase the overallquantity and quality of opportunities, particularly job opportunities, in society.In other words, by providing an individual with greater education, we havemade them more competitive in the job market, but only at the expense ofsomeone else. In this sense, the strategy is played as a zero-sum game.

In the words of the cartoonist Dick Guindon:Writing is nature's way of letting you know how sloppy your thinking is.

And no child in highschool regardless should be able to do that either because of dresscode, horny hormone infused teenage boys, and you never know if some of the teacher are attracted to children.
The writer of this argument does not use a specific type of evidence (first-hand, second-hand, and quantitative). The writer does not use facts proven by trustworthy authority, personal experience that would be reasoning for the writers opinion, or data that can be measured, but rather simply stating their opinion as evidence.

gives kids the idea they can dress that way inside of school
Chloe Neslon Logical Fallacies: Begging the Question - This claim is based on evidence that seems questionable and it is given without a source, making the claim seem untrustworthy.

I find it disgusting
Chloe Nelson: Logical Fallacy: False Authority - This writer states their personal opinion, and in the next sentence uses their opinion almost as evidence or a fact to claim that high schoolers in sports bras is "borderline child pornography," when in reality, the only thing back them up is their own authority.

horny hormone infused teenage boys, and you never know if some of the teacher are attracted to children.
The speaker uses the slippy slope fallacy in their argument. While it is possible for teenagers (namely boys according to the speaker) to sexualize minors in only sports bras and no shirt, it's an extreme case to assume all teenage boys would do so. The same applies to teachers sexualizing minors, as it is possible, it's an extreme case to assume all teachers or even any would do so.

For all of its faults, the original film doesn’t rationalize aggression—or racism—away or reduce its characters to single motives.
The speaker addresses one of the major problems with the new movie; however, doesn't give much reason to back it up.

Your eyes are very important to your body, why risk damaging them by looking at a screen all day?
Loaded question This sentence is a loaded question because, the author is asking the audience why they would risk damaging their eyes, by looking at a screen all day and assuming that the audience wants to purposely damage their eyes.

If students were given a tablet for school, they will never pay attention in class.
slippery slope: this sentence is labeled as a slippery slope because the author is leaping to an extreme hypothetical outcome by assuming that if students are given a tablet then then wont draw their attention to class.

The false promise of your source code repository is that everything it contains is “good.” To complete your task, just find something that does something similar, copy, modify, and you’re done. Looking inside the same repository seems like a safety mechanism for quality but, in fact, there is no such guarantee.

I’m reminded of how Greenspan’s observers in the financial industry tended to project all manner of genius onto him simply because he refused to articulate, in any concrete way that involved anything so crass as a narrative, what he was thinking or doing. For market watchers and finance industry savants, Greenspan was a human koan upon which they were expected to puzzle out their own economic enlightenment. If you didn’t get it, you were the idiot.

This is all well and good when we’re talking about buying decisions, but what if I were to say, “Should we go to war in April or in May?”
In addition to avoiding biases, we also have to be aware of logical fallacies too! False equivalence, etc...

after nearly 10 years of continuous improvement
Not necessarily a good or favorable thing. It might actually be preferable to pick a younger software product that doesn't have the baggage of previous architectural decisions to slow them down. Newer projects can benefit from both (1) the mistakes of previously-originated projects and (2) the knowledge of what technologies/paradigms are popular today; they may therefore be more agile and better able to create something that fits with the current state of the art, as opposite to the state of the art from 10 years ago (which, as we all know, was much different: before the popularity of GraphQL, React, headless CMS, for example).
Older projects may have more technical debt and have more legacy technologies/paradigms/integrations/decisions that they now have the burden of supporting.

This is assuming your site only targets one country!?
What if you want to target the whole world? Isn't that what most sites would like to target?

Despite their awarded diplomas in the art of writing, you'd be surprised at how many editors and journalists in the United States make English mistakes. For instance, "an" is still often coupled with words that begin with an "H" sound, even though this is improper. I'd advise against treating material from news sources as if it were error-free or even a higher authority on grammar.

There’s the command prompt version, which is extremely useful for anyone who is constantly in the command prompt. But don’t panic if you’re not a command line fan, because it’s not the only tool available to you—there are great todo.txt clients for every platform.
Just because you don't like one client doesn't mean you should rule out all clients of text-based to-do lists from consideration. (Similar issue with hledger: there are GUIs available for plain-text accounting software too!)
Just because there are tools/features for power users doesn't mean it can't also work for more casual users.

A CAUTIONARY NOTE Don’t brief the case until you have read it through at least once. Don’t think that because you have found the judge’s best purple prose you have necessarily extracted the essence of the decision. Look for unarticulated premises, logical fallacies, manipulation of the factual record, or distortions of precedent. Then ask, How does this case relate to other cases in the same general area of law? What does it show about judicial policymaking? Does the result violate your sense of justice or fairness? How might it have been better decided?
Read the case to identify:
- unarticulated premises
- logical fallacies
- manipulation of the factual record
- distortions of precedent.
Then ask:
