That's what it was originally called. I assume the pie was dropped from the name because it sounds healthier that way.

If Mexican food gives you the shits, you need to eat more fiber so your digestive system doesn't immediately panic on contact with beans.

Don't forget starvation, that's a big one. Climate change hits your food supply before it hits you.

Even by fundamentalist/Young Earth types, it's considered pretty extreme, but yes, literal belief in the firmament is a thing.

Bankruptcy.

The title, much like the Patriot Act, was very carefully engineered to maximize the social stigma of speaking against it.

It's almost like using precedents instead of just writing the fucking laws unambiguously is an inherently broken concept.

Also, for those wondering about the inevitable followup question, a stop sign has to be placed by a local or state government to be enforceable, and is required to follow the exact standard specifications. Tickets have been thrown out due to stop signs being a slightly wrong shade of red, so blue or green are definitely out.

It's quite easy to accidentally do that when trying to adjust the volume without looking.

The stupidity was the giveaway, not the gun.

It's because the US started on the east coast and expanded westward, it was named back when it actually was the middle of the west and just never changed it. Same way we still refer to the art movement that began in the late 1800s as "modern art".

It would probably be 3%, as per the Lizardman Constant.

It's not just unconstitutional, it's legally nonsensical. Citizens of a state are not the property of the state, a state only has jurisdiction over what people do inside the state itself.

SEO should have been immediately dealt with years ago by having search engines permanently blacklist domains that pull that shit, no questions asked.

Doesn't the existence of key collision help? If you throw a quantum brute force algorithm at a ciphertext, wouldn't you get a long list of keys, all of which authenticate and appear to work, but for all but one of those keys, what it decrypts to is garbage?

Authentication itself is fucked, but encryption is only heavily weakened rather than completely destroyed.

Dissolve and nationalize every pharmaceutical company.

The police are just an organized crime syndicate.

If we're doing that, we should fix the month names. We start off really strong with January, named after Janus, Roman god of doorways, transitions and new beginnings. Banger name for a month honestly. Things remain pretty solid up until June, then we completely drop the ball in the second half of the year. Honoring two egotistical tyrants, then we just give up and number the rest of the months, and incorrectly at that.

The IDF is dropping white phosphorus on children's hospitals, a blatant display of cruelty that makes no pretense of being necessary to fight Hamas. As evil as Hamas is, and I'm not downplaying that at all, the Israeli government is worse.
