Putting my arm around my girlfriend's shoulder while we were sitting at an assembly. I wasn't doing anything inappropriate, we were just sitting there. But the principal took me aside at one point and told me to stop.
I've been publicly referring to "President Musk" and "First Man Trump" and hoping it catches on. The more we can make Trump feel like there's a perception that he's not in charge, the more it will piss him off, and hopefully cause him to clash with Musk.
I don't even necessarily want him to fire Musk. I want them to try to do conflicting things, give in to their nature to be contrarian, but with each other.
They want to be David vs Goliath. Being the ones persecuted means that they can go on the offensive without feeling bad about it. It means whatever they do is justified as being a means of survival. It gives them an excuse.
I know someone who had to do this. Her parents were abusive and were refusing to do the FASFA paperwork, holding it over her head for something. She had already been in college a couple of years at this point. So, she found a friend she trusted and they got married, allowing her to get the funding she needed to continue to attend college.
You don't have to go all the way to straight razor to get significant savings. Even just a safety razor basically cuts the cost per shave to nothing vs. modern cartridges. And it's much easier to use.
There's a park in my area. Literally every time I have been there, over several years, there is a van in the parking lot. It has a wire mesh bust of Hillary Clinton on top, and is covered with writings about various conspiracy theories about her, and slogans like "Hillary for Jail!"

Hell, even before the NES, the entire video game industry crashed and nearly died out because there were so many crappy shovelware games that people started to think all games sucked.
If he had been fined, do you think he'd actually pay it? And what then? You can't stick him in jail to make him pay it.
I think this was the real reason behind the decision. Any governmental punishment is ultimately backed by a threat of jail/prison for non-compliance, but if you can't do that to the president, then he can just ignore it anyway.
I'm not talking about things that have happened to me specifically, rather events broadly across the Earth that should be rare happening on a more and more frequent basis.
I don't believe in karma as some kind of cosmic balancing force, but I do believe a lot of it is the consequences of our actions a-la climate change.
My entire adulthood has consisted of one unprecedented once-in-a-lifetime event after another, and on occasion the same kind nearly back-to-back. This won't be the last.
