But surely there needs to be a way to insulate ourselves from the detrimental effects of an individual’s influence.
All of these terms are subjective, too, but there has to be a line somewhere, right? A point at which to not act would be unconscionable? If revoking citizenship is off the table, what do you think a reasonable response would be? (I’m assuming hypothetical “objective wrongdoing” rather than looking for ways to get Elon out of the spotlight.)
We’re on the DSM 5 now, they recategorized that one to just “brain damage: fascist”
They were so close to being heroes. The same people, I assume, who could never join the military because they would punch out the drill instructor.
Lmao, what? How do you get from “accidentally set my timer wrong” to “America dumb”?
US ships don’t wait around to enter the Suez. They coordinate with the US consulate in Egypt to ensure timely transits. Despite all of the technology and lookout requirements, these giant ships are still ponderously slow to maneuver, so my assumption is that this collision occurred due to emergent factors like changing weather conditions rather than just simple human error.
That’s part of the absurdity here. Mump is arguing that Congress doesn’t appropriate money for agencies, they simply set the ceiling for how much money those agencies or programs should receive. It is the president, he says, who decides the floor for that number. Apparently every other president we’ve had just went along with Congress, I guess? Only this stable genius figured out this one loophole that Congresspeople hate!
Can we just call it the DGE? There’s no reason to use the O. Making it sound silly softens what they’re doing, I think.
I’m pretty sure they’re still the rage, if Ukraine/Russia is any indication.
Yep. A good friend of mine told some pretty horrific stories, I can’t imagine being put in that situation.
It depends on the situation, but for the most part, people who have chronic or severe medical issues will be pulled from their unit until they recover; after which they’ll return to the same or a similar unit.
If they aren’t eventually deemed “fit for duty” their case is presented to a medical board, where they decide if the service member should be retained on active duty. If so, the board could put restrictions on types of duty or grant various reasonable accommodations to the service member. If not, they’ll be medically discharged from active duty.
I only really have secondhand knowledge, because I never went through the process myself, but I lost some people to it. There are appeals processes and the like, and from my perspective it seemed like a fair way to go about it.
His superpower might be that he can tell if somebody in close proximity to him has the entirety of their penis.
I know this is a shit post, but scribble dry erase marker over it.
Listened to the book and watched the extended cut just the other day. It’s quite funny, definitely part of Andy Weir’s charm, but it’s far more dramatic a story than it is a comedy.
Some of the longer, reflective scenes in the extended cut give it a more somber tone, but they don’t actually add anything to the story.
You mean that in the sense of “haven’t been afforded the right to live” right?
