Wow. That’s horrible! Thanks for the heads up.

I’m out of the loop because I’m new. What’s wrong with .ml?

That statute is bullshit! Just because a corporation has some federal contacts doesn’t mean they need or deserve extra federal protection.

We gotta joke about things sometimes, or we’ll roll over and give up in despair.

Or, this is an attempt to reduce the number of cogs that can/will freeze if asked to do immoral things. Like, the higher the number of people who are running the military, the more people there are that can stop you from the inside if your orders are Nazi-ish.

We know at this point that the real motivation for these firings is not to save money. It’s to reduce friction as he becomes a dictator. The more gears the government has turning, the more spots there are that can jam up the system in protest. That’s my theory, anyway. I’m sure there are additional reasons.

I was going to say…sounds like the USA in about three months. (Obviously trans discrimination is already here… I’m referring to the LGBQ discrimination being included.)

Jesus fucking Christ. That’s horrifying.

I’m so happy for you guys!!

TLDR; both used (democratic) councils, Druids, similar culture & art, Sky Father or afraid of the Sky.

I mean, yeah? They were both Indo-European cultures. There would be a lot of similarities due to that, combined with the frequent cultural contact.

This has been my favorite response so far. It explains nothing, but the mental image is priceless.

Protest without the ultimate threat of force behind it is a parade.

I’ve never heard it worded this way, before, but it sums up something that has been bothering me about modern protests: they are parades.

Great. Let’s microwave human dissenters, especially the physically disabled.

And let’s test this previously-unknown weapon on helpless mice and monkeys; that’s how we KNOW we’re morally correct in building the weapon!

This is a helpful perspective! Thanks!

I’m glad someone else asked this question.

I, an ignorant, would love to see Canada be a part of the EU, but I really appreciate you breaking down the concerns of such a move. I appreciate seeing comments with actual arguments and reasons, rather than just superficial statements. So, thank you for that.

Okay, so how do we stop him?

An oversimplified “just do [blank] to satisfy my illogical demands or else you’re a Nazi sympathizer and deserve to have your property vandalized” isn’t practical.

This right here. I agree that such people advocating these positions must be bad actors, but in case there are real people who think they alone hold the moral bar that everyone must clear: “Go fuck yourself.” Everyone has to start somewhere, and alienating those that are still learning is not helping.

I haven’t had any tears. Hard to say whether it’s my VCR or the tapes doing the jamming. I’m not very tech savvy, and I was a kid when these were all in use so I haven’t learned how to fix these things. When something doesn’t work right, I usually just take the top off the VCR and wiggle a part, and all goes smoothly after that.

What is a fiat currency?

Oh, I just looked it up. So it’s the USD.
