I think it kind of depends on how he dies.
Massive ugly heart attack on live tv is different than someone shooting him in the head, and those are both different than like a bombing at one of his rallies.

One of the many benefits of living in a walkable area. I’ll get a mile or two of walking in just going about my business. Walk to the grocery, walk to the subway, whatever.
This is one of my things I go off about. People sometimes tell me they want to move out of the city “for their kids” and I’m like are you crazy? The suburbs were hell as a kid. Can’t go anywhere because you don’t have a car and walking is dangerous and slow. I was always so jealous of my friends that lived in the city. They could just go do stuff
Someone on the Internet put it nicely as “there must be outgroups the law binds but does not protect, and in groups the law protects but does not bind”. That’s all there is it to it. My people good and can do what they want, your people suck.
Stripped down to this basic level, you can see it’s a pretty vile worldview.
I also don’t have any social media unless you count this account. I had a similar thought years ago that it was just going to make me unhappy.
People at work the other day were talking about how they stress about which photos to post. I’m like why. That’s such a self inflicted wound.
I used to have a FB account because people used it for events, but I never posted, and I used adblock to hide the main feed.
Now when I do parties and stuff, I just send out Google calendar invites. (I should de-Google but that’s a long road I haven’t started down)
Seems reasonable, but Republicans would have spent decades capturing that system and we’d end up in a similarly bad position. The problem is conservatives have shit ideas and want them to be law. Unless we fix that, any system will be corrupted.
Do you have a source for this? My understanding was only credit card balances mattered.
I am legitimately confused about how none of the cops involved in that have not been vigilante’d.
I also think about this a lot. There’s like a mass shooting every day but it’s never cops, politicians, billionaires.
Seems fine.
I wonder if we can also teach people delayed gratification. People’s inability to do that is I think a root of a lot of problems.
I’m not aware of any harms from using a no-fee credit card that you pay off in full each month. You get 1% - 5% back, and it’s easier to deal with fraudulent charges.
I bet a chunk of those republicans are mad that the court is “too liberal”
Republicans are the worst
That grand jury should have refused to indict.
In crawl stone soup I had a win with every species and every background. They added more and I haven’t kept up, but it was a pretty big deal.
It’s a good rogue like. Recommend checking it out if you like the genre.
The first paragraph on the wikipedia page linked says
"The statement “When I hear the word culture, I reach for my gun”, variously misattributed to Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Göring, was in fact a corrupted version of a line in his play Schlageter. "
So no, I don’t think so.
That’s what I always say. Targeted advertising should be illegal. Contextual advertising is acceptable.
If I’m on the star trek wiki, serve me ads for star trek, sci-fi, and whatever. You don’t need to know anything about me specifically.
We’d still need to do something about like ads that take up too much space, hurt page performance, or introduce malware, but removing the stalking would be an improvement
“When I hear the word culture, I reach for my gun”
Seems that’s a slight mangling of the line, but it’s a common Nazi trope
Language is what is spoken/written.
I don’t think any serious linguists are prescriptivists.
There are agreed upon standards for some contexts (eg: academic papers, newspaper articles, legal texts) but for casual conversation that doesn’t really apply.
I imagine if you had a lot of competition, prices might stay lower. But the reality is that monopolies or cartels or whatever will form
Adams sucks and it’s embarrassing that people here elected him.
Use amendment 14 section 3 to remove most of the Republicans from office.
Get rid of the idea of judicial review.
