There's no such thing as a peaceful Nazi.

There is much, much more overlap between them than you may think.

To quote the Onion themselves:

No price would be too high for such a cornucopia of malleable assets and minds. And yet, in a stroke of good fortune, a formidable special interest group has outwitted the hapless owner of InfoWars (a forgettable man with an already-forgotten name) and forced him to sell it at a steep bargain: less than one trillion dollars.

I don't think Trump intends to field the military against another military anyway. The performance required to massacre civilians isn't a high bar.

Because novelty is all it has. As soon as it stops improving in a way that makes people say "oh that's neat", it has to stand on the practical merits of its capabilities, which is, well, not much.

The reason given for hiding them just makes that fact worse. It's for "aesthetics". Manual latches don't look futuristic enough.

The election emboldened some very shitty people to go mask off.

This may sound pedantic, but you're looking for Fairtrade (one word) for the organization with the strictest vetting standards. Fair Trade (two words) isn't regulated and just means they follow some sort of ethical code. It's not necessarily bad, but it warrants more product specific research.

Strictly speaking, the energy it consumes is the gravitational potential energy of the ore they're mining, which would be consumed anyway in the form of, well, gravity, acting on the ore on the way down. They're just using it productively instead of dissipating it as heat from the brakes. Using only energy that ordinarily would have been wasted is of course very neat, but it's not breaking any laws of physics.

Do you have the same problem with all adjectives that describe a majority? Heterosexual, right-handed, etc.?
