Sorry, delaying cases and sentencing is only for the ruling class.

We really did have everything, didn’t we

There are plenty of checks and balances. People write the checks, other people apply them to their balances.

Threatening to use the armed forces against your political opponents is generally considered not a great sign for a democracy as well.

Oh no

I’m not American so not sure exactly who my camp is or what I was supposed to do. Enjoy your measles and smallpox, hope it was a good trade in exchange for making zero difference to Palestinians in the best case.

Haha, yeah that’ll show em!

Now instead of having a president that supports the genocide of Palestinians you’ll have… checks notes … a president that supports the genocide of Palestinians. Wait there’s more here… doesn’t believe in climate change, a guy who actively wants to prove that vaccines don’t work actually in charge of health related shit, enabling the genocide of Ukraine (hey a whole new genocide!), pulling out of alliances and what’s this last fun one, threatening the already flawed foundations of US democracy by, among other things, threatening to deploy the military against political opponents.

Is that what winning and being morally superior looks like? Because it looks pretty awful from here.

What a twist

Surely not. Even the part about tipping?

Can’t be, Elon said he was going to get rid of the bots when he was in charge.

What if you only have a nail?

Maybe half of it is the Korean translation?

I thought it was the other way around and CE was clear entry, C was clear.

You mean balancing work or family

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only the campaign trail

Ok now I’m hungry and I want to try Polish strawberry pasta.

I think we can still do that without having to buy into the idea of a divine and immutable source of morals or tying our moral thinking to a specific textual work or collection of works. I’d argue we can do it even better without those things because whilst they did have a place in our history and were probably helpful at one time they have ended up holding us back particularly in recent times.

I agree with this and I’d also add that bringing up men’s issues to try to silence discussion of women’s issues then harms men as well because people associate discussion of men’s issues with that type of shit behaviour.

I agree with you on this one for sure. That’s one of the reasons I think that a text is not a particularly good foundation for an absolute system of morals. I don’t know why we need to mess around with interpretations in that case.

Interpretation can be possible, but often the driver doesn’t seem to be a genuine seeking of a moral truth but working backwards to avoid morally unpalatable conclusions or outright cherry picking and ignoring certain parts of a text. I see that as a tacit admission that morals don’t actually come from the text itself but maybe there’s something I’m missing as I’m far from an expert.
