Standley said he remembers Roley left high school in the middle of sophomore year. He said he believes Roley was expelled "after some trouble with a girl."

I found this part interesting. Also the part where they said they were scared of him... although that might just be tinted by the fact that they're trying to remember this guy they didn't know very well.

If you looked at my Duolingo, you'd think I was pretty fluent in Japanese. But if you look at me talking to a Japanese person, you'd think I knew very little Japanese.

The quote also mentioned Frédéric Joliot.

It's meant to strip citizenship from those who may have lied about their criminal convictions or membership in illegal groups like the Nazi party, or communists during McCarthyism, on their citizenship applications.

While I disagree with denaturalization, I'd accept it if it meant that this reasoning became universal. If you lied while taking an oath that gives you special status, then your special status will be revoked.

Since virtually all Republican politicians lied in their oaths of office to defend the constitution, we could sue to have them removed.

Had Pierre Curie not died in an accident, he would most likely have eventually died of the effects of radiation, as did his wife, their daughter Irène, and her husband Frédéric Joliot.

At some point, somebody convinced people that unrealized gains were not actually income because you don't know for sure that you'd make that money, and I think that was a bad idea. Maybe unrealized gains aren't 1:1 the same thing as income, but the calculations of an income equivalent aren't going to be complicated.

Sheafe said the attack was part of what he claimed was a divine mission to punish religious leaders who, in his view, were misleading followers.

Religious on religious violence.

One other thing you can do is to set a daily alarm on your phone. The downside of the phone solution is that you can simply turn the alarm off and it just goes away.

But if you rely on cats, then you'll at least have to go to where the treats are.

In that situation, is it called hydroxic acid, as OP says?

Since when have cops been good people?

Nobody is forcing you to mindlessly meme all the time. You possess a human brain that is capable of considering individual people based on your personal observation of their actions.

I think this is a call duck.

he’s not trying to fix the world

It was probably on my second watch of the anime that I figured this out. When he was killing FBI agents who were clearly good people.

One other interesting thing is that he's not interested in elevating himself in the traditional way.

If he wanted to fix the world, and become super rich, he could easily do it at the same time. Because the people who are actually ruining the world aren't the murderers that he killed in the story. The people ruining the world are actually the same people who have all the money. And he has the ability to control them. He can alter their wills if he wants to.

With the Death Note, it would be trivial to become the richest person in the world, but that would attract a lot of attention, so it would also be trivial to become a much less rich, but still incredibly wealthy person. And Light could have done that in a way that would be very hard to trace, if he wanted to. But he didn't want to.

Light begins the story with a very biased view of the world, due to his father being a police officer. He's quite authoritarian. He blames small time criminals and never really considers that there are societal and governmental reasons that they became criminals. Instead, he comes up with a very Machiavellian solution that people should follow the law because they're too afraid to commit crimes.

Doesn't an acid have to be an acid, though?

I'm talking about thermally cooling it down. If you put it in a freezer it will cool down, but the nuclear process will not change speed.

Isn't it just that color because it's hot? Like, if you cooled those off to room temperature, wouldn't they be metallic gray?

My personal toiletries are mine. I don't even let anybody use my nail clippers. (I do have an additional set of clippers just in case anybody wants to borrow mine.) It's not about what's gross or coodies or whatever. It's about me being particular about the condition of my own stuff.

It might be your sleep paralysis demon in the shape of a cat.

My biggest beef with Sweet Home Alabama is, if people are ever singing along with it, or if they're singing it at karaoke. I should mention that I live in the South, so these people singing it are from the South, and even though the song itself isn't racist, the way these people emphasize certain lyrics, it sure sounds like they want it to be racist.

The whole thing makes me uncomfortable.

God I hope so.
