This is a very important point, yes.

You’re right, but I’m confident he’ll get there in the end.

The person you’re arguing with made the point that if you hold the ones who voted against the bad thing happening as partly responsible, by the same logic, you should hold people who voted for Clinton in 2016 partly responsible for the election of Trump.

I don’t think you can have it both ways. Either the entire USA including you is responsible for Trump becoming president and the entire SCOTUS is responsible for today’s ruling, or you’re not responsible for Trump winning and the three dissenters are also not responsible for today’s ruling.

I get that you’re angry, and it’s a good day to be angry, the day that they ended democracy, but maybe be more selective about who you’re angry with and sometimes try to check if maybe there are some valid things people can disagree with you about.

More treasonous than inciting armed insurrection?

Surely Trump just appeals to the SCOTUS and they free him in line with today’s ruling?

Democracy in the USA ended today. It will be in the history books about the end of democracy.

He won’t. Too honourable.

Uhhh and today the SCOTUS decided that Trump can never be prosecuted for anything he did or will do whilst president, so actually, democracy died today. Biden won’t abuse this. Trump will, and there will be nothing to stop him from enacting his dictator plans. About that, and the political assassinations, and the president for life, I think Trump is serious.

Yeah, that’s a definite ass world for me, because whilst I might visit tit loans out of curiosity, ass world is where I am sure I would want to go regularly.

Yeah, making up rules in the heat of the moment just to shut someone up is gonna make bad rules that deserve malicious compliance. Dead right.

This is the way.

Exactly. Very well done indeed. It has a simple beauty.

Wise person: “Those who do not know history’s mistakes are doomed to repeat them.”

Actual Nazis: Great idea. Let’s burn some books.

That is lovely. You and your mum and her friend rock. Have a great day. Every day. It sounds like your mum is a fantastic person and passed that on to you.

WIN.
Er, for my friend.
Yesss.
I mean yes.

META.

But I’m scared of Monad transformers and lenses. Can’t I just use elm? Elm is so perfect, so pure, so very very pure. And so pretty. And so robust. And so instantaneous to compile, and with such helpful error messages. Come to me, haskell programmer, you’ll never want to leave. Never leave… Always elm… Lovely lovely elm…

My friend was wondering if you could would feel the same way if it was a man, you know, out of interest, and whether if it was, say, completely at random, a guy in his late twenties with curly black hair and a slight beer belly but he’d be willing to reciprocate so in some senses he’d be the best of both worlds, if that were of interest to you. He was wondering. My friend. Entirely hypothetically. Uhm…

Really, really not a problem. Just checking. I didn’t spot it the first time and it changed my perspective but not my answer.

Good, good, yes, but I stand by finding it interesting.
