  • Infixes are present in many languages, although English tends to use them mainly for expletives. Another example would be: "Leave me a-fucking-lone!"

  • Dems are controlled opposition and everyone knows it.

    I still vote for them, at least until a better alternative comes along. But we have to build better systems because the establishment will not save us.

  • There is always the "people's impeachment." I hear it has been popular in France.

  • Unfortunately homophones think that AIDS is God's curse for being gay, so they shouldn't help victims or try to cure it. It's "God's will."

  • Under different circumstances, I think it could be really great. Canada is more liberal than the US, so more blue states would be nice.

  • I mean, kind of. People only follow laws because they believe that the laws will shield them when it is their turn. Otherwise it's just 'those with power do what they want.'

    When regular people stop believing in the law, you get Luigis.

  • Lenin was not wealthy. Stalin was not wealthy. Despite the many failings of the USSR, let us not forget that compared to life under the Tzars it was a smashing success.

    And it did put power in the hands of people who weren't born to privilege.

  • Right? We don't have nice things because we put up with bull crap.

  • So, uh, as someone who's only ever read it and not heard it... how do you say it?

  • rule

  • It's how we're conditioned to behave by society from birth. Break the rules and you get punished.

  • It requires more precision, sure, but there are absolutely bakers who can taste a dough and tweak the water/flour/oil etc. ratios to get the perfect bread.

    It's only different from other kinds of cooking because most people haven't developed those senses. If you knew what you were doing, you could bake from scratch without a recipe easily and go by "vibes" (i.e. based on sensory input).

  • You cannot do violence against someone else's property.

    You are property of the ruling class, and so they (or their henchmen) are free to damage you.
