Well, “what is he smoking?” kind of has the same implication.

It took almost exactly 5 years from publication for that to be commonplace.

That’s a bit of a false dilemma though. The two options aren’t “it’s a magical elixir with absolutely no downsides” and “people deserve to be locked in a cage and have their life ruined for possessing it”. Plenty of legal things can cause harm. 35% of people are lactose intolerant, do we ban dairy?

Hell, you can give away 990 million of it, buy a house, put what’s left in a high yield savings account, and live comfortably on the interest alone for the rest of your life.

The fact that Windows hides file extensions by default is just absolute insanity to me.

How exactly do you define advertising? An overly broad definition would forbid, for example, a dentist from putting a sign in front of their office saying they’re a dentist.

I’m sure if they take power, their first order of business would be to legalize all Nazi symbolism and drop the “we’re just run of the mill conservatives” facade entirely.

Yes. The exceptions are a smaller cardinality of infinity than the set of all real numbers.

It’s all a weird act. Kids swear around other kids, adults swear around other adults, but oh no, you can’t let kids hear those dangerous swear words that they already know and use every day.

Also, if you compare the age of the universe right now to how long it will be until heat death, we are absurdly early. We’re in the first 0.0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of the universe’s lifespan.

Climate change was known and covered up by oil companies since the 1930s.

2 years. Immediately after the midpoint of the term, he’ll get 25th’d, giving Vance the remainder of the term and leaving him eligible for two more, which he’ll win due to the 2028 and 2032 elections both being North Korea style shams, intended to compile lists of suspected dissidents rather than decide anything.

Trump is just the useful idiot to install Vance, who’s essentially a Musk proxy.

Pigs are also more likely to side with the fascists.

Christmas becomes a deadline.

That’s also all common core is. Instead of teaching the line up method which requires paper and is generally impractical in the real world, they teach ways to do math in your head efficiently.

Also conjuring up unnecessary details is a hyperphantasia thing, not doing it doesn’t mean you have aphantasia.

The warrior-king model certainly had its own flaws, but at least when the king declared war, he picked up a sword and fought.

It was, but now it’s a steaming turd with Nazis and KKK apologists.
