Posting a link to the same story they asked for proof about is...not how proof works.

It's a job requirement at this point.

Wait'll you get to Law's backstory. You're gonna need to buy a truckful of tissues.

I feel like that was a pretty obvious conclusion when I read this. Sloppiness would be random and chaotic.
Why should we lead by giving Elon *any* benefit of the doubt here? Doesn't that just legitimate this by the implication it would be okay if done with competence?

I'm not sure if there's ultimately a difference, but I do wish more people were refusing to comply with regulations of dubious legality AND refusing to resign. Making these bastards come and *get* you seems like a better move than quietly moving aside for a more complacent yes-man.

I misread "hard fork" as something else and almost choked on my dinner while going "*damn* Josh!"

I feel like pointing out that if we're legally obliged to go by those pictographs, neither Musk nor Trump would be able to use any public restroom.
Yeah yeah, don't say it, I'm being petty. It's right there in my name...

We don't, because we don't need 'em. If balls were sufficient we'd be done already. Clearly it's gonna take women to do what the men can't.

It isn't semantics at all. It is a bullshit ahistorical framing that seeks to strip Germans of their culpability and grant them victim status.

If you are at an event where someone on stage gives a Hitler salute and that person is not dragged off by security and kicked out, you are at a Nazi rally.

The Nazis didn't invade, they were elected. Stop parading this idiotic quote around as if it's a true reflection of history and not bullshit from a goddamn comic book.

He didn't. He said it was to destroy bureaucracy.
But that's the issue. Too many people don't understand that you can't operate a democracy without bureaucratic infrastructure.

I mean, you've got a point, but it IS an influenza virus. What would you suggest, in a society where people are primed to make accusations of deliberate intent to mislead, and generate conspiracism in the wake of framings they don't understand?

We don't have to go back that far. The Spanish flu of 1918 is considered one of the deadliest epidemics in human history.

Do *you*? There's nothing inaccurate about this. Read up on the non-aggression pact between Stalin and Hitler, circa 1939. You know, the date referenced in the cartoon...

When did you do this? Is it a relatively recent addition to your contracts, or did you include it as a non-negotiable point early on?

Literally her point. You're repeating what she said.

It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

I'm sure they'll find a way to surpass it.

Say what now? What nonsense is this?!

I think folks can get lost in the idea of writing as a passion. A few writers gain reputations that turn them into divas and followers latch onto the idea of writing as precious art.
Realistically, it's more often a trade for producing a consumer product.
