Let’s suppose the artist had publicly stated their beliefs that certain minority groups should be erased from public life, and was actively using their art profits to fund those goals.

What if someone paid the artist money for it and hung it in their living room and sang its praises to their friends & family after they found out about the artist’s beliefs, goals, and actions?

Boops boops

No. The power of the pardon is explicitly granted to the President in the text of the Constitution, and it provides no mechanism for reversing such pardons. It’s meant to be a check against unjust laws and/or corrupt courts, and presidents who would corruptly abuse the power for their own profit are supposed to be removed from office via impeachment—but as we’ve seen, Congress won’t even remove a president who orchestrates a mob attack against themselves as part of a scheme to overthrow an election.

ICP have a meme-famous lyric that goes thusly:

Water fire air and dirt, fucking magnets, how do they work? And I don’t wanna talk to a scientist, Y’all motherfuckers lying, and getting me pissed.

Wouldn’t that only apply if there’s lead plumbing inside your house in between the water heater and the tap?

Oh, absolutely. I’m just here to call out the inconsistency.

If we’re going by “the Bible says,” then we also have to acknowledge that the Gospels clearly place the crucifixion right after Passover, which occurs in springtime, not in November. Either this eclipse isn’t the explanation for the alleged three hours of darkness, or the Gospels got the timeline of the Passion completely wrong.

Kirk wasn’t just some “talking bobblehead,” he was a moral monster with a large following who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings. The fact that his voice will no longer be a part of the national discourse is an unambiguously good thing and is worth celebrating, and I refuse to be ashamed for doing just that.

You keep handwaving Kirk being a moral monster who was actively making the nation and the world a significantly more hostile & dangerous place for millions of disadvantaged human beings as “You just disagree with him.” Why?

No, that’s “The Americas.” In English, it’s widely understood that “America” on its own is referring to the USA.

But we know firsthand that strategy doesn’t work. We tried it less than a year ago, and wound up with a fascist soon-to-be-dictator who is also pedal-to-the-medal on Israel’s genocide, going so far as to arrest, imprison, and deport people for criticizing Israel.

When both possible outcomes of an election are equally terrible for Palestinians, but one of the possibilities is worse than the other in virtually every other aspect, it makes no sense to have Israel-Palestine be the deciding factor. Not voting for one of the two possible outcomes is just taking your hands off the wheel and letting someone else decide for you.

9.8m/s^2 isn’t a speed. It’s a rate of acceleration; it tells you how fast your speed is changing. The minimum speed an object can impact the planet is equal to “escape velocity”—the speed you’d need to launch an object from the surface so it escapes the Earth’s gravity permanently. In the Earth’s case, that speed is about 40,000 km/hr or 25,000 mph.

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

No, see, you’re thinking of “Rule of Law,” the principal wherein the same set of laws apply equally to everyone regardless of station. “Law and Order” has always been conservative NewSpeak for keeping the lower classes disenfranchised and demoralized via fear of Law Enforcement.

“I was just giving orders.”

An assumption of 99% false sightings is not a statistic. Statistics are analyses of measured data, not assumptions. To know the actual percentage of true sightings, you’d first have to confirm that some sightings are actually true, which would require some actual evidence of ghosts/aliens.

Consider the inverse for a moment: if ghosts/aliens don’t actually exist, then the percentage of false sightings must be 100%, not 99.9%. As long as you start with the assumption that there are some true sightings, you’re just starting with the assumption that ghosts/aliens are real.

Don’t feel too bad about it, even ancient Greek philosophers thought the same thing in the time before modern optics.

Apes are monkeys, in the same sense that humans are apes.

Not even. He officially left the Dems and registered as independent earlier this year.

Are you ever zeroeth in line? What’s the zeroeth thing you do after waking up in the morning? Do you ever launch an argument with “Zeroeth of all…”? Do you remember your child’s zeroeth words or the time they took their zeroeth step or their zeroeth day of school?
