It’s not hard for the feds to illegally imprison someone. We have a political dissident illegally locked up under house arrest for bringing a lawsuit against Chevron in Ecuador.

Honestly, if NYC voted to secede from the state, it would probably be pretty popular. Albany doesn’t even pretend to view us as anything more than a piggy bank at this point.

Your mistake is thinking the Democratic Party is trying to get members elected. Their primary goal is to keep the top brass in positions of power and then to keep their donors making money.

That second one is true of every political party, they just have different ways of going about it.

Depends on the publication’s editorial guidelines with respect to what words are censored and how. Probably not the author’s choice.

Have you seen neuro sama?

If he’s really a narcissist they’re not crocodile tears, he legitimately feels bad. That he is facing consequences.

The important thing is that we remain civil and use inclusive language while we discuss whether or not an entire population including children, non combatants, and international aid workers should be stripped of human rights and murdered.

I’m pretty sure the proper form is Atlapodes.

Had to make a stop at AAA to pick up an atlas before leaving for long road trips.

They didn’t used to be. Maybe you’d have some less popular candidates try and get a jab in for publicity during the primaries, but the presidential debated used to be for attacking the other guy’s policies while making yourself seem likeable and confident. And back before TV, they actually had to sound smart too.

Certainly nut the most creative joke

Quoting Wikipedia in reference to the variance in ceramics for the degree of crystallinity and number of electrons in their iconic and covalent bonds:

With such a large range of possible options for the composition/structure of a ceramic (nearly all of the elements, nearly all types of bonding, and all levels of crystallinity), the breadth of the subject is vast, and identifiable attributes (hardness, toughness, electrical conductivity) are difficult to specify for the group as a whole

Joke’s on you, I never figured out how to leave vim!

Excuse you, on the internet they’re known as shit posts.

Jesse wasn’t good at chemistry.

That’s not really an explanation…

Lots of non traditional instruments get called for in concerts. I played a song that called for drumming on upturned metal trash cans in high school.

I’m personally of the opinion that if a community is poorly moderated, you should just make a new community that is better aligned to the level of moderation users actually want and not to rely on a centralized admin team. They should really just be preventing serious abuse, like grooming, and provide support and advice to mods.

Ultimately its not sustainable and gives Admins too much centralized power to determine to that level what is and isn’t appropriate mod behavior. I get that what you experienced is generally dickish behavior, but that can easily spin out of control when it relies on admin judgement calls like that.
