Genuine question because you absolutelyalready took the time out of your day to clarify the intent with your parenthetical at the end there: is this an ego thing? Like what is it about tone indicators like “/s” that you hate so deeply that you feel the need to go out of your way to create a bespoke, alternate tone indicator which was 10x longer and 100x whiny-er? Where did these feelings come from? Clearly you understand that they’re needed, so why do you persist in this nonsense?

Maybe. Unfortunately US law doesn’t have a concept of “freedom to not worship”, so it’s tricky for atheists to push back against religious overreach because it’s hard to prove the exclusive religious favoritism for Christians in this country as an atheist since atheists are by definition impossible to prevent from worshiping.

It’s a lot easier to just say hail Satan and then crush the snowflakes in court since now you are religious, just for a bullshit religion which they can’t legally call bullshit on. Because that’s the other thing. There is absolutely no legal test of faith. The court must take satanists specifically at their word and push no further. Christianity is a major established religion in the US which means Satan is widely recognized, so it isn’t a random cult they can spin shutting down, and it is a religion so they can’t pretend the satanist isn’t covered by the first amendment protection.

Basically US law is stupid and that makes claiming to be a satanist extremely legally expedient

Only one way to find out

Lows is the same distance from home. What a The fuck are they thinking?

Beyond the very good points already made about it being illegal for them to strike and they could immediately lose all ability to work anywhere in the federal government again, it’s imperative you remember the point of DOGE is to get rid of the federal government. Elon and his kiddies are looking for an excuse to close down entire departments of government. If one of them went on strike, they could simply declare that all of them are fired for felony activity and never refill their positions.

Striking in this case is the same as quitting, and none of them want to give in and let their government die. It’s the same reason no one is taking the voluntary severance. They’re fighting for their government as best they can from where they are. It’s all of our job out here to rescue them

Tearing down monopolies is an inherent good independent of the fact that the entire industry should be torn down with them. Be happy the court is willing to exercise their power to break monopolies at all. Doing so here normalizes doing it elsewhere

Slazers’ point that is is pocket change to apple however is an excellent point. If it forces compliance then it’s still a win. We’ll see what happens

Regardless of what the answer is, you are definitely not happy. Seriously my dude. Why are you being so aggressive? Miscommunication happens all the time. It isn’t this big of a deal

I have no agenda. Unlike you I don’t give a fuck what someone else decides to do with their life. I’m not misreading or mischaracterizing anything. Chappelle roan has been astoundingly clear on her opinion. You’re just not listening, and arguing against what you feel like arguing against. You’re angry at a strawman and it’s preventing you from actually talking about the topic seriously

Nope. They literally didn’t read it correctly. You’re projecting hard here dude. Just because this situation implies you also have terrible reading comprehension skills doesn’t mean you have to take it so personally.

Seriously, I was just trying to help him out by clearing up the miscommunication. I truly don’t care one way or the other what people do with their own genitals

Not op bro. I was just letting them know they misread the prompt. I’d love for them to be happy as a person having chosen to have children. Being miserable sucks! I hope that’s not the case, but I don’t know if it is or not because op pointedly did not address it

There’s a huge difference between “I am happy with my choice” and “I am happy in my life”

Not my question, not moving goalposts. I’ve got no dog in this race my dude. I was just explaining that they didn’t read the question right. If that’s still their answer then great! Good for them! But I’d love to hear their actual answer to the actual question chappel roan posed from their own “lips” thank you very much.

That’s not what she meant. It’s not “are you happy being a parent?” It’s “are you, a person who happens to be a parent, genuinely happy?”

Your plan is sound. Just make sure whatever you use as a brace underneath doesn’t naturally warp in the same direction

The majority of those people are equally unwilling to travel the necessary equivalent to the problem. if the French had to burn down Warsaw they’d also be slow to rise to it, which is the reality of the distance of travel necessary for most people to get to the US capital. The million man march was announced months before it happened. Just like the ones are now. In case you plan to show up, the first major protest is scheduled for next week on the 5th. (you can! no real excuse not to tbh. Idk where you live but statistically you’re twice as close to our capital as someone from California and Trump’s behavior absolutely affects you too so come on over! We’ll take all the help we can get!)

Burdening Canadians who try to trade with enemy nations is the point. It has to hurt for people to get off their ass and do the right thing by divesting from the US completely. Export taxes would miss the majority of international commerce with the US, which would hamper the effectiveness significantly. It doesn’t do anything unless it’s impossible to avoid for anyone still willing to touch the US

Because it wouldn’t accomplish anything except instantly bankrupting the university. Which is what Republicans ultimately want.

Or to put it another way, only an idiot plays chicken with someone trying to kill them

Trump is definitely stupid enough to do it without understanding anything. The only question is whether someone with an actual brain can get to him before he tweets about it. Because the second he says it publicly, his narcissistic ego will only allow him to double down regardless of what it does to the US or him personally. Ideally someone would float the idea to him on air

Damn that’s dark.

Yah, nope. Still completely fucking lost. You suck at writing my dude. Maybe take a class? Idk, but your teachers failed you hard. I said we because I’m not op supergenius.

I mean yeah. At this point I have no other choice huh? I mean Jesus…

Yup. That one’s on me. I should have been more specific. I asked for an example of Nazis with power in Ukraine and you gave it to me.

Let me try again, what Nazis, specifically named, are in power today? Because what you linked mentioned one politician who is still active today who is vaguely linked to the OUN and it didn’t even tell me what that link was. Similarly “Rising antisemitism” and “rising nationalism” are meaningless in this day and age. I need you to show me what you mean when you say those things. I asked for evidence, not more claims.
