If you were one who lived in USA and didn’t vote for him, what would you do to not “let this happen”?

I see, wow. That is weird. I have family that lives there in NL and am wondering now if they ever see this. Thanks for clarifying.

Are they using explosives and car fires to threaten immigrants specifically or just people in general?

That’s a pretty subjective statement as it really depends on whom you’re defending it to. Does consuming any amount of alcohol make one an alcoholic? I suppose differing people will have differing definitions.

MTG’s face always reminds me of one of those old school puffy catcher’s mitts.

2nd half in raw binary because I use Arch btw.

I really wanna know what’s printed on the shirt and hat. I feel like this is shirtsthatgohard material without the shirt even saying anything.

Weird, I was under the impression that the right wanted to classify it as a mental disorder. Do they both now, but for different reasons?

Translation: “We’re going to commit fraud to make the national debt appear lower.”

In addition to that, they’re suggesting a government stake, which likely means using taxpayer money to help him subsidize it. Hmm. Where have we seen that before?

Which is why I said define arbitrary earlier. I believe it had to do with accuracy of measurement equipment in the 1950’s as well as the ephemeral time scale, which was based on the observed movements of astronomical entities. So you can kinda argue either way. The selection of units can be influenced by an older system like you said, but that still is a system that was based on an observable or measurable phenomenon, which doesn’t fit the definition of arbitrary.

Maybe those planets/stars in the cartoon were aware of their own non-linear travel, as well as red/blue-shift effects, and that we earthlings based our original systems of measurement on them without prior knowledge of those factors, thus making them inconsistent and arguably arbitrary haha

I believe that was because at the time of its discovery, that was the most accurately we could measure it. It’s still based on a stable, constant, absolutely measurable phenomenon though. You can divide it into whatever arbitrary or non-arbitrary units you want, but that system of measurement is still based on an absolute standard.

It’s like saying that we now define one year as 1.234 earth revolutions around the sun. Or 2. Or whatever. Arbitrary units perhaps, but still based on an absolute phenomenon.

If you really want to throw a wrench into this whole concept though, mention that the earth’s rotation is slowing ever so slightly over time… so we have to add time on to the atomic clock to attempt to sync it better with the earth’s non-linear rotational velocity. Who’s arbitrary now?! 😀

If there were reasons that it was divided that way, as you said, then that would make it non-arbitrary, as it was based on a system of logic. Define arbitrary, I guess.

Perhaps it would appear to be arbitrary though to those who aren’t aware of those reasons/logic, like the astronomical objects in the cartoon 🤷‍♂️😀

The measurement of earth orbiting for one revolution around the sun (a unit of time we refer to as a year) isn’t arbitrary. It’s clearly defined. You’ve either made one complete revolution or not. It’s just that the original starting point for the first measurement was arbitrary because you’d have to start somewhere.

Many forms of measurement are based on absolutes, like temperature, measured from absolute zero, or time, measured against the cesium standard (atomic clock). You’d have to break physics in order to be able to define them as arbitrary.

Correct. The original patent makes no reference to any sort of cam out / torque limiting feature.

It’s to allow one for each day of the week except for Sunday, as Sunday is The Lord’s Day.

I’m very curious as to what your suggested course of action would be if you were to “cut the military budget to 0”, and then another nation with a strong military uses their military to abuse or murder the citizens of your nation because they disagree with your nation in some way…

Same. I’ve actually started to wonder if I even want him incarcerated now since I feel like he’s becoming more of a liability to the RNC and that they won’t be able rid themselves of him otherwise. Imagine the tantrum he’d throw and the potential fracturing of the party if they nominated anybody but him. Food for thought at least.

For all those dogs know, that mayor could be doing all that they can with the resources they have. But if it’s a national issue, then it’s effectively like trying to extinguish a forest fire with a squirt gun. Go after the Big Dog President.

I like to imagine the shitboat floating away in flames like an epic Viking burial.
