I hope the point is that the people who set the social norms (which make you think OF girls and Drug Dealers are bad people) are the real enemy.

If you believe anyone is above politics I have a bridge to sell you.

My point is precisely that the US Supreme Court is embroiled in politics. The notion that being appointed somehow insulates the justices from politics is absurd.

Elections at least create some semblance of accountability to the voters.

Elected Judges still get their jobs done. They have clerks who do a lot of their drafting and grunt work in the office.

For large elections, there are staffers and volunteers who do a lot of the electioneering. For small elections, campaign events only occur on weekends and at other times when court is not in session.

Typo fixed. Pedantry is fun isn’t it.?

US Supreme Court Justices are not elected. They make a lot of political decisions beyond just upholding the status quo. There are a lot of US states that have judicial elections and they don’t have major crises because of it.

Short terms of office should have the same effect. If you want to stay in power you should have fight for it.

It’s more of a loophole for jobs like serving that rely on tips. If it was the minimum then all the minimum wage earners would be at server salary.

“Coprime” is the operative qualifier of the original comment. You can’t do what Steve Martin did with coprime amounts of buns and dogs because they can never evenly go into one another. You’ll always have leftovers.

Mercury makes you insane before you die. He’d likely start a nuclear war, and then die.

I generally agreed with this sentiment, but the fact that admins and mods didn’t care makes me understand why they felt the need to point it out in the comments.

As long as the mods and admins care about removing bots instead of just wanting an inflated user base I think the comments about bots should stay confined to posts like this one where they are on topic.

I would expect that there isn’t anything that you would write home about.

People forget that Valve was the first major player to do this.

Tribes 3 is pretty similar if you haven’t played it yet you should.

It would also mean being involved in the most lawsuits, unfortunately.

We don’t have money to donate.

Pastime I think is the correct term.

Drugs are a hell of a drug.

One of the characters in the “what we do in the shadows” show is a vampire whose ghost inhabits a doll.
