  But they give you the link to the definition of “emulsion” right there in the text. If you don’t know the word, all it takes to find out is one single click. That’s not laziness, it’s efficient simplicity.

  They didn’t say “North America,” they said “America.” Everyone who speaks English understands that “America” on its own is almost always in reference to the USA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thirsty much?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I seem to recall that the very same passage in their Bible that condemns lust as thoughtcrime also prescribes a remedy—and it’s to tear out your own leering eyes, not bar women from public spaces.

  But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away; it is better for you to lose one of your members than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

  You do know that the video footage proves you’re a liar, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a mechanism in the USA to undo presidential pardons years later if political corruption has been proven as motivation to give these pardons?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No. The power of the pardon is explicitly granted to the President in the text of the Constitution, and it provides no mechanism for reversing such pardons. It’s meant to be a check against unjust laws and/or corrupt courts, and presidents who would corruptly abuse the power for their own profit are supposed to be removed from office via impeachment—but as we’ve seen, Congress won’t even remove a president who orchestrates a mob attack against themselves as part of a scheme to overthrow an election.

  A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's coworker is a flat-earther⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, the same mindset that takes you to “The entire geophysical establishment is wrong/lying about the shape of the Earth, so I’ll listen to this Youtube crank who says it’s a disc instead” will also lead you to things like “The entire medical establishment is wrong/lying about the effectiveness of masks & vaccines, so I’ll listen to this podcast crank hawking horse dewormer instead.”

  Insulting someone via stereotype doesn’t show that they’re wrong.
