But surely there needs to be a way to insulate ourselves from the detrimental effects of an individual's influence.

All of these terms are subjective, too, but there has to be a line somewhere, right? A point at which to not act would be unconscionable? If revoking citizenship is off the table, what do you think a reasonable response would be? (I'm assuming hypothetical "objective wrongdoing" rather than looking for ways to get Elon out of the spotlight.)

Why does that need to be reaffirmed?

We're on the DSM 5 now, they recategorized that one to just "brain damage: fascist"

It kills me that what most of us got from that is, "These idiots will even sue when they find out coffee is served hot! Look how stupid they are!"

Meanwhile she literally only wanted them to pay her hospital bill, a paltry sum comparatively.

They were so close to being heroes. The same people, I assume, who could never join the military because they would punch out the drill instructor.

Lmao, what? How do you get from "accidentally set my timer wrong" to "America dumb"?

US ships don't wait around to enter the Suez. They coordinate with the US consulate in Egypt to ensure timely transits. Despite all of the technology and lookout requirements, these giant ships are still ponderously slow to maneuver, so my assumption is that this collision occurred due to emergent factors like changing weather conditions rather than just simple human error.

That's part of the absurdity here. Mump is arguing that Congress doesn't appropriate money for agencies, they simply set the ceiling for how much money those agencies or programs should receive. It is the president, he says, who decides the floor for that number. Apparently every other president we've had just went along with Congress, I guess? Only this stable genius figured out this one loophole that Congresspeople hate!

Excellent, just the example I needed to prevent me from examining my own use of Sync. I picked it up straight off of RiF and it's been mostly fine. Spoilers rarely work and sometimes it just straight up can't "fetch the image," but I can do the things I care about, like downvoting and making ad hominem attacks. 10 out of 10 for me.
