The least believable part of this image is that all those little dogs sit down and shut up long enough to take this picture (I am ignoring the usual body horror like the blended body parts, as well as the fire hazard that’s meant to be an oven in the back because people do dumber shit than that all the time). In real life at least half of them would be blurry balls of accelerating fur.

What laws of our land were broken? Which statute? Has Obama been charged with anything and if so what? Because he didn’t have immunity from criminal prosecution, remember, so if this is your example you’re going to need to show that a former president a) had to break the law, b) couldn’t have accomplished the thing with existing powers, and c) faced criminal prosecution for that “official act” when they shouldn’t have, as a result of not having this immunity.

And this is my point exactly. Obama hasn’t been prosecuted for those drone strikes, nor for the operation that killed Bin Laden; and he won’t be, because those acts did not break United States law. When the President needs to do something most people can’t, they use powers imparted under existing law - the president already has quite a lot of power, you know. In the few cases the President has needed more than that, they’ve had to go justify it and get the other branches on board, at least nominally (looking at you, Bush Jr, and sending the Guard to the middle east to get around needing Congress to send the regular Army ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ). This is the way the system was designed, with checks and balances on each branch.

Long story short I’m sorry to say I find your example lacking and my challenge remains unmet. I very much appreciate you engaging in good faith though, so thanks!

Nah man, this is very concerning. You don’t need to calm down; I think everyone else is too fuckin calm about it.

What I want from anyone supporting this decision is a single example of a situation where the President would need to break the law in an official capacity. I want just one. I’ll not get it, but I’m gonna keep demanding it.

A member of the Reform party - a party whose every principle, tenet, and policy is based on pure unadulterated racism - said and/or did something racist?

I dunno man, being born before automobiles wouldn’t exempt you from looking both ways before you cross the street when you live in a world where cars are commonplace 🤷‍♀️

The Constitution also clearly states that anyone who breaks their oath of office to commit treason against the country shall not hold political office unless cleared by 2/3rds majority in Congress. It’s time to admit that the rules are all made up and the Constitution doesn’t matter.

Fixed, but I added a little personal flair to show I really mean business. More fucks == more business, that’s just maths.

Proton have just announced they’re moving to a nonprofit structure if that makes a difference to you; it sure does to me.

Like firing clay in a kiln, and for the same reason. “Canine” is actually a bastardisation of the 14th century term “Claynine”, because their bones were believed to be made of clay. Of course we now know this is not true - dog bones are made of a substance that merely resembles clay in many ways, but has a unique molecular structure making it semi-permeable to the red blood cells produced by the marrow. This clay-like substance can indeed be hardened by exposure to extreme heat, which is why it is not recommended to leave your dog in a hot car unless you want an invulnerable dog.

Motherfucker spends years taunting the SEC as a paper tiger, thinks he’s winning and oh so clever because they don’t do much of anything, meanwhile they’re building their case brick by brick. FAFO Fuck the fuck around and find the fuck out, I guess; here’s hoping the ban comes through right after the court kiboshes that ridiculous paycheque he wrote himself from Tesla.

California in particular – with large population centers in arid landscape – has seen some movement on xeriscaping, doing landscaping that still looks nice – even if it’s not as tolerant of being walked on. But it’s still really not a norm.

Colorado and large parts of Texas join California in this. In Colorado it’s especially galling to see huge lawns of grass because a.) native flora are very attractive and b.) it is so god damn dry most of the year that it makes California look like wetlands, which exacerbates the issue since grass doesn’t shade the ground as effectively from the harsh sun as native plants do, resulting in the need for more frequent watering. And this is on top of summers that regularly reach the hundreds, and winters that regularly get down into the negative double digits.

This is somewhat mitigated by two things: there are of course fewer people in Colorado than California, and much more importantly, fewer celebrities.

It’s so good for more reasons than just being able to use other mods safely! It’s really nice being able to transition between areas without having to resummon, how some progression/unlocks are shared, and that all connected players get to use Torrent and spirit ashes.

There are typically agreements with ATM operators to allow no-fee withdrawals, and you can usually do cashback at the register when making a purchase in many stores, but beyond that you’d need to find an office that can handle cash and not all credit unions have those.

We couldn’t be ourselves anymore. We couldn’t hit on someone randomly in the bar because they might be straight. Suddenly the entire atmosphere drastically shifted from a relaxed vibe for us to a minefield.

The only reason I can think of that you would want assurance someone is gay when you hit on them is that you might believe you could reasonably expect violence from hitting on a straight person. Did I assume that’s why, since it’s the only reason I could think of and you have already called out violence as one of the underpinning reasons you hold this opinion? Yes, I did.

I’m sorry you can’t hear how you sound. Therapy will help, if you find the right therapist. Good luck.

And if you hit on someone who is not into you, a polite refusal should not be problematic regardless of the reason. There is no reason these spaces cannot be safe, as well as including allies. If you want to presuppose violent intent based on orientation, that’s your issue, not anyone else’s.

Yes, you’ve made your opinions on the matter quite clear. Despite the homophobic discrimination I’ve faced myself, I personally can’t agree with this sentiment at all because I hate the idea of not being able to go with my friends to a fun hangout spot just because some militant prick says some of them are the “wrong” kind of person. The orientation or gender of the people around me doesn’t by itself inhibit me from being who I am, and that doesn’t sound healthy. On the subject, it’s probably not healthy to assume that the downvotes are all from “entitled straights”. Wouldn’t want to slip into a No True Scotsman fallacy now, would we?

Despite my own feelings, I would still like to hear from other people in the community on the matter. I’ve lived in very tolerant places most of my life, and I’m not familiar with the scene in a place like Kentucky or North Carolina or what have you.
