The ol' RFK Jr. strategy, eh?

I think that might be a misreading, they have no humanity in deed, not in essence. They weren't born subhuman, they are choosing to be.

I'm not going to give the genociders the benefit of the doubt, at least.

Administrative detentions can be longer. On paper they can hold you about a month, but it can be longer than that with a judge's signoff if they have proof of a crime.

This is typically where the police try to get you to confess to something and drag it out as long and uncomfortably as possible until you do, after which you either get to go free (though you end up on a list for a long time) or you may go to a "black jail"/黑監獄 which is a sort of under-the-table prison.

The terms of release can also sometimes require completion of a rehabilitation program, which is often the voluntary alternative to prison, or getting transferred to a short stay detention center for a few months to perform community service.

The previous user is a bit off base with the labor camps idea (not to say that the Xinjiang detention camps for Uyghurs aren't widely known), but it is worth noting that China does utilize administrative detentions/行政拘留 for smaller offenses which are kept statistically separate from prison counts.

If Raiden needs a source, the law covering administrative detentions can be reviewed here:

That's a cool looking Zelda poster you have there in the background.

Wow, I can't believe that's actually a real place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murderkill_River

I know -kill is a popular suffix for a stream or river anywhere there was a Dutch colony, but the murder- part threw me off for sure. According to that Wikipedia article at least, it comes from either "moeder" (mother) or "modder" (muddy) and would therefore either mean "mother river" or "muddy river".

I had to laugh when I saw a snippet from the news this morning where they played a short clip of other "2 week" promises he made that were based on nothing and led to nothing.

Maybe Trump is just 2 week as a leader.

People live around there, so harm is definitely being done to the air they breathe and the environment they live in.

I almost want to dislike this if only because it doesn't fit a usual ABCB or ABAB rhyme scheme like you'd expect.

This one is ABBB, which just seems weird on a read, I think.

Waiting for the SpaceX bros to tell everyone how this was actually a good thing because it was supposed to happen and means everything is going well.

You can disagree with someone without using needlessly ableist language, come on.

Assuming the chains are thrown as to divide the weight evenly across the gondola, guessing the combined weight would need to exceed the total weight capacity of the gondola.

Google tells me gondolas have a weight limit of 6 adults weighing 105kg each, guessing Bezos and his inflatable sex doll fiancee weigh a bit less than that so you'd need probably 450kg worth of weights to drag the whole thing down.

However, being more strategic, you could probably be more efficient on weight if you were to put most of the weight on one side so as to drag just one end of the gondola into the water. The Billionaires fall in and get dragged under by the weight, the gondolier may have a chance to escape.

Tough question. Depends on what your skin tone is.

Too dark, straight to CECOT without trial.

If you pass for white, they'll have to find more roundabout ways to label you a foreign agent, like if you are friends with any immigrant whose second cousin's neighbor's wife is a politician who is critical of America, or if you qualify for citizenship for any other country due to heritage.

If you're white and rich, you're probably good, as long as money continues to find its way into the right pockets.

Probably safe, then, as long as the flour is never in a powdered form that can spread easily through the air and settle on surfaces.

Until the flour that you use to make your homemade pasta is recalled for salmonella.
