Gawd, I hate that aftertaste.

Oh, you know: Tomato tmahto, potato criptofacism.

That’s the point

Trust but verify

All of Putins homes. All at once.

Nazis?

Its truedeau. (Its a pun)

You can be as evil as you want, as long as you are doing it to the right people and you’re on their team.

Ooh. Dunno about the adaptation side of things. I will say that I read the damned thing all in one night. Had to stay home from classes after doing so. Good book, to say the least.

If it’s any solace, it’s nothing personal. The line must go up! Legally required!

I think they are buying carve outs for the tariffs

Yah. Mine just has full on knife wounds from that.

Yah! Refocus!

Ah yes. The “nonsense drawer” as my youngest labeled it. It has stuck. In my parents family it was called the junk drawer.

Decent people are getting pushed too far- they are going more mainstream with each insult, financial hit, and knowledge of the two-tiered justice system.

I’ve been saying it for years, if the Rich are not held accountable, the only option is vigilante justice. Unfortunately, it will have a lot of by-catch. But it’s not the general population‘s fault that it will come to this. It is people with money and power.

Weird. It may sound subtle ( another weird word), but my mouth is definitely doing different things. Ought has a definite diphthong whereas aught may have one, but much more slight and with a more closed mouth.

Languages are weird.

Edit: aught is likely grown out of naught! I mean, that obviously makes sense, just never actually thought about it.

The healthcare ones are real. I hear it from my own patients. I have to apologize for my job sector too frequently to women of color.

Either that or chew on its ear. That is normal, right?

… have you met humans? Moderation is difficult. Capitalism and Communism both have difficulty not sucking due to humans. People always just take everything too far.

No. It is consistent. Bodily autonomy for everyone. You don’t get to go into the populations as a plague rat and kill others with your idiocy, though. That impinges on their freedoms.
