I wish someone would write an algebra book with as much power of indoctrination as these gay queer books are alleged to have.

Because it's called HIPAA, not HIPPA. The second P is the one that stands for privacy.

Fifty years ago, doctors would protect their patients by accidentally losing certain files if they didn't think the authorities had a good reason for seeing them. Under HIPAA, they're required to keep and maintain good records in case the government subpoenas them.

It's popularity peaked before my time, but when Soeur Sourir (The Singing Nun) topped the charts with Dominique-nique-nique, it must have enjoyed significant secular popularity, perhaps in part because they didn't know French well enough to really understand the lyrics.

Occasionally, maybe once per paragraph, misspell a word intensionally. Your family, knowing how carefully you used to profread your own writing, will notice this as abnormal behavior. Either you captors have already damaged your menial health or you are trying to conceal a message. Gards reading you letters before posting them may be more used to bad writing among their detaines and not suspect anything deeper. Your family might reply using the same code, both acknowledging receipt of your coded message, and perhaps including a key for a more secure one.

The anal sex sense of the term buggery is etymologically related to the Bulgarian people. I think because Christian Europeans named a deviant sex act after their heathen neighbors who allegedly practiced it, but it might have been the other way around.

Luigi Mangione tried, convicted of murder, and sentenced to life in prison. (I lose if no trial occurs in 2025, whether due to plea deals, procedural delays, or he gets Epsteined. I also lose if either NY or federal trial results in either acquittal or hung jury.)

That's an invaluable lesson.

I can make the Vulcan "live long and prosper" sign, but only with my left hand.

Local news is reporting the shooter and one victim are dead. The other victim was grazed in the arm and is in stable condition.

I don't know. James Upham is credited with inventing the Bellamy salute and may have been inspired by the Roman Empire, or more likely by contemporary portrayals of it. Anyway, by 1930, nobody was heiling Caesar that way, but the salute was in use by American schoolchildren. On that basis, I stand by the claim that the Nazis stole it, directly or indirectly, from either the US, the Roman Empire, or Mussolini's Italy. It's a kind of cultural appropriation I find more palatable when done by people who don't then proceed to violently annex most of Europe.

The Bellamy salute was invented in the United States for peaceful purposes. The Nazis stole it (as they did with the swastika and the term Aryan) and applied it to evil. As Nazi symbols, they became more strongly associated with the humanitarian atrocities of that regime than with their original meanings, to the extent that decent people hesitate to use them anymore.

There's no technical reason why you couldn't. It's probably just some stupid marketing reason like:

• A. Monster doesn't want to sell its concentrate this way.
• B. They do, but not at a price that would justify including it as an option among other common self serve beverages.
• C. Stores don't want to offer unlimited access to dangerously high levels of caffeine after a Panera customer with a pre-existing heart condition drank about a gallon of caffeinated lemonade and then dropped dead in the dining room.

What better way to honor the reverend's legacy than by bulldozing some poors.

You just listed a bunch of mammals, not a representative sample of predators. You think lobsters and spiders are cuter than cuter than deer and koalas?

edit: oops, 4 mammals and a bird

Knowing what little I know about the fine art market, he can probably have the ashes authenticated and sold for a profit.

I don't like them. They tend to be inaccurate for anything that contains information, such as might benefit from reading more than once, or pondered over before understanding. And if it's meaningless, then why would I even care if I get interrupted midway through it?

I think you can get away with just about anything, so long as it doesn't piss off anyone with a bigger navy than you own.
