People would probably accept deportations, sadly, but thought the warnings about concentration camps were overblown.

And in the Everglades, of all places. Barbaric, but also really fucking dumb.

Same as Al Queda Taliban operatives taking desk jobs in Afghanistan and hating their lives.

Be careful tearing down a system, you might need to live through the results of your actions.

Wuv, twoo wuv between these two.

Yeah, anything that has you speaking in game jargon in public should qualify.

One of my friends at a pizza place a few years ago: "I can't believe I didn't get to poison anyone last night."

Me: "Dude, context! We are in public!"

Fax machines!

They were invented long before the computer or modem, with the original patent being issued in 1843.

They seem wildly outdated, but the ability to replicate the signature (iirc) led to faxes being accepted as legal documents.

This speaks more to the underlying usefulness in earlier eras, but it's still wild to make a phone call that leads to a printed document.

It's just a mistake, there's no point in beating yourself up over it at all.

Try to find a way to laugh it off and either cancel or have a fun time doing something else in the area.

Your mistake is an embarrassing inconvenience. Nobody is hurt, nobody lost their job, you aren't fired, evicted, or divorced.

Take a deep breath. Self-forgiveness is a skill worth practicing, lest you poison your memories with regret.

Even if it isn't an outright cure for HIV, the progression to AIDS was linked to a compromised immune system, so this could possibly prevent the leap from ever happening.

Bird.

Not necessarily. Sales taxes, payroll taxes, and income taxes are all paid by people who are living somewhere while not being an immigrant with a visa or the like.

Undocumented immigrants already pay more in taxes while not being eligible for most benefits programs.

This isn't about a rational solution, it's racism.

Ah, the Obstructionist Party.

Sure, sure. Plausible cover story...

But you just didn't know about the hidden basement and the meth lab within it.

"You see, consumers are the product, and the manufacturers that produce them need compensation for their labor!"

I feel like we just hit Poe's Law in a really weird way.

Do we need to make tacky tourist Auschwitz merch just to prove a point?

Does it matter if MAGA would proudly buy them?

A peacock's tail is a flourish, something that adds to the whole without detracting.

A cocktail combines spirits with other flavors to make them something else.

I don't really drink cocktails, but thr antiquated term makes sense in a particular context.

Now looking it up, apparently the origin of the term isn't actually known and my interpretation isn't even in the running, but I'm saving this anyway because it's amusing.

'More like DEI Panther, amirite?' (/s)

I honestly don't see why that's better than some other Marvel properties, but I don't mind it's inclusion in the list. Maybe that it touches on actual world problems instead of just fake ones made up for the movie. And yeah, I'm American but a dissenting one.

They don't learn. They'll just blame Democrats yet again.

I'll have to give that a watch. Dinklage is always a joy to watch.

100% agreed, I just wanted to put in my thoughts. Could've been a parent comment I suppose but some of my points were building on yours.
