And why wouldnt he? After all, he wont be running for election again; either he doesnt manage to cancel the normal electoral process and isnt eligible, or does, and therefore doesnt actually need to run the risk of losing by making it fair enough to potentially lose. The only reason for him to care about popularity is ego, so if just insisting to himself and others that his decisions are popular is enough to convince himself of it, he will.

What if I'm saying names out of order, and say my last now but will say the beginning or other entries on the list later?

That's not how a railgun works, that's how a coilgun works. Railguns create a loop of electric current that flows into one "wire" (the rail), through the projectile into the other wire, and back down to the starting point again, this configuration creates a force that pushes the projectile down the rails

The Netherlands probably, but with the massive grain of salt that I suspect that choosing a "ideal place to live" without actually having been to that place is likely to result in a skewed idea of what a place is truly like, and as I've never been outside the United States I have that issue when thinking about any other country. I also doubt they or anywhere else that might make my list of ideal places would want me, seeing as I'm just some random factory worker without any especially rare skill.

Frankly, I would not be terribly surprised if some descendant of our species, almost certainly incredibly, unimaginably divergent from what we are now but still someone, literally dies with the universe, however that ends up ending.

Sure, but a crop merely being bioengineered does not imply that that specific tweak has been made

Why? Tweaking the genes of something doesnt magically make it dangerous

Im fairly doubtful of that tbh.

Modern sirens would probably consider following around those ships that divers work out of to be cheating.

I feel the inverse. I kinda want to see what it would be like to be born, like, one million years into the future, or something like that.

Those look like common house geckos, I don't think that species hurts anything people care about and they catch bugs anyway.

Didn't he attack the very concept of empathy at one point in all this doge mess though?

I bet stereotypical pirates would love orange juice, if they could get their hooks on any.

"As little as one hot dog a day", doesn't really strike me as a great example of a "small" amount of processed meat. I'd generally say I ate a lot of something if I had it literally on a daily basis.

I always just look at the cable/device and the port to see which half of the connector is empty and which has that plastic bit

States rights was never really an ideal (in general, if it's wrong to allow something in one state, it'd be wrong to allow it in the rest, after all). It was just a thing to bring out whenever the federal government disagreed with something they wanted but some states didn't. But now that they control the federal government, it becomes a liability, so they drop it.

The context of who does a thing and how they'd be likely to do it matters; a surgeon cutting into someone with a scalpel can help heal them, but an untrained idiot with the same scalpel is likely to make the situation even worse than if the surgery hadn't even been tried.

Though I don't agree with the deportation bit, I view unwilling deportation as cruel, and taking his obscene pile of wealth away would also remove most of his ability to negatively effect society anyway (and if it didn't, then him being physically in a different country probably wouldn't help much either, or else would be pushing the problem onto them instead of solving it.)

Baleen whales would like a word

What I have to wonder about that, is if those genes are actually connected to behavior, or if humans just perceive animals with floppy ears and curly tails as friendlier and accidentally select for that as well

Naruto is a ninja despite wearing bright orange and acting as unsubtle as possible in the same way that James Bond is a secret agent despite the people he's spying on knowing who and what he is already.
