My first thought was "So we call 'following the law' a loophole now?"
If the law meant a fucking thing, he would have been in prison decades ago.
IMPORTANT PROTIP
Side-arm molotovs, don't throw them over your back like you would a baseball.
Unless you know exactly how to make a watertight molotov, there's the possibility that you drip burning fluid onto yourself if you throw it up and over your body.
By throwing side-arm (around and out to the side, almost like a Frisbee) you fling any liquid away from you.
It's also a good idea to make sure nobody is standing to your side that you could potentially douse in flames.
Happy tossing, and remember to only use this knowledge for educational purposes!

I'm not saying laws are inherently just and good, this just isn't a good look.
On par, though.
Honestly, if you mounted some of these on a couple 1kw e-bikes with fat tires and suspension for better off-roading, you could get some nice hit-and-run squads, assuming you could clear or detect area-denial weapons.
Mount an MG on one, a recoil less rifle on another, maybe some form of rocket launcher for heavier armor.
It's not going to take over any countries, but a fast attack force that can clear rough terrain quickly is worth it's weight in gold.
5 bicycle boys vs 10000000 Gen 5 tanks and 27 lions, who wins?

You can just stop there, and be correct about almost any topic.
I had to explain tax brackets to my mother.
She's got a degree to teach math. And I know she actually went to college since I can remember sitting in the back of her classrooms when she couldn't find a babysitter.
She used to do her own taxes and my grandparents taxes.
But, as a teenager, I had to explain why a potential $2 raise doesn't mean she's losing more money in taxes than the raise is giving her.
She also doesn't believe the welfare cliff exists, despite our family being precariously perched atop it when I was in elementary school.
At this point I think she's just heard the same stupid shit repeated over and over, she doesn't even question it anymore.
You joke, buuuuuuut https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/12/launch-code-for-us-nukes-was-00000000-for-20-years/
The USAF has denied this, multiple times.
I do not believe them.
Mainly because I know how people were during the cold war and have no doubt in my mind that the thought process was "nobody will ever access this without a reason, so let's make it super quick and easy or we might be radioactive slag before we finish typing"
The mere fact that it's believable is a problem.
It's a college, so they're too old unless it's his daughter.
Who could have done this? What entity or entities could have possibly benefitted from trying to get democratic polling places closed? WHO?
We may never know. Case closed.
If my eyes rolled any harder, they'd pop out the side of my head.
Something tells me that unlike every other role where he makes people jump through hoops every game regardless of how many decades they've voiced the same character, he did not make Hideo Kojima audition for the voice.
I'm not bitter or anything, why do you ask?
fair and square
LMAO someone hasn't been paying attention the last few decades and thinks the system is designed to be fair, or for some reason is forgetting that fact to try and make a point...
I'm not saying Harris ran a good campaign. It was misstep after misstep, and don't even get me started on Cheney...
But this election was not a fair one, nor has there ever been a fair election. It was designed to favor a specific class/group from the start.
I'm sure the Palestinian people will be safe now.
They should give a speech with a giant "Mission accomplished" banner overhead.
Luckily, a legal "official act of the president" can work on more than one person.
I'm not saying it's a great choice, but it is there.
Sometimes life gives you shitty choices.
Daily reminder that the moral high road is filled with corpses.
The keys to GAINING power are not the same keys needed to KEEP power.
They gained the power (or will in a few months)
Now they need to keep it.
If one of the keys needed to get it could potentially turn on you, it's better for your regime to eliminate them as soon as possible after taking power.
For a better explanation, CGP GREY has a video about rules for rulers, which clears things up quite well: https://youtu.be/rStL7niR7gs
Nobody sued them over gay leaders.
They got sued by parents over not doing anything about pedos, AND got sued by prospective leaders because they were being prevented from joining over their sexual orientation.
Bill wanted to be a scoutmaster since he grew up with scouts, but since he was gay, he was not allowed. He then sued the organization over it. (idk names, that's just for clarity)
Someone willing to do that is capable of anything. I can't even imagine that level of "not-give-a-fuck-itude"
"I just took pictures of random people doing normal life stuff so I can judge them based on appearance and mock them for things I just made up"

..... People open message attachments?
Buy why? By now everyone on the planet should know not to do that unless you trust the source of the email
In theory, I agree. Nuclear weaponry should never exist. The power to erase millions of people with a single push of a button is absolute insanity.
In practice, the world isn't going to suddenly decide to de-arm itself and dismantle every nuke. So if they aren't giving up theirs, refusing to make my own over that just leaves me another corpse on the moral high road.
Sometimes I wonder if the world would be a better place had the Manhattan project been sabotaged by the scientists and nuclear weapons were deemed unfeasible. I'd like to think so.
People talk about being there “for” someone. Here being there “with” him is more important.
When I'm depressed, having someone sitting on the couch in my living room scrolling on their phone is infinitely more meaningful to me than someone who is miles away and texting me a lot or offering to help with things. It's probably part of my neurodivergence but having the person close in proximity while at least sort of paying attention to the room makes me feel less alone than having 10 people trying to check in on me all day.
