A vote for JD Vance is a vote for an America where every new vehicle sold will be upholstered with rich Corinthian leather.

Why exactly would Iran hope for the US to be a one-party autocracy full of imperialists who won’t suffer non-whites or non-Christians?
Either a comma or parentheses are what would make the difference.
I will tell the students whom I married.
Now the students know who was at your wedding.
I will tell the students, whom I married.
I will tell the students (whom I married).
You’re only telling something to the students that you married.
So why haven’t you stopped the bombing?
Are you familiar with the comedian James Acaster? He has a relevant bit: https://youtu.be/Zt5qJC1xQ8A
It’s true. I was only ever eating bacon to keep the flying pig population in check, but now I don’t have to because the wind turbines will do the job.
Good for you. I was assaulted on a train from London to Manchester before I learnt how to drive.
Tell me you’ve never been assaulted by a drunk guy on a train without telling me you’ve never been assaulted by a drunk guy on a train.

If you want to change a politician’s mind, you don’t do it by dangling your vote on a carrot.
So how do you do it?
I’m literally always saying this.
I call Britain a shitty little TERF island all the time, and I’m from Lancashire if that helps.
I have it on good authority that no man is island entire of itself, but every man is a piece of the continent - a part of the main.
There seems to be a couple of people keeping the lights on at the project zulip but they are presumably busy with other things.
Sorry, I was thinking of other features covered by the Const Generics Project Group, like generic_const_exprs.
Thin line between opinion, free speech, and a lie.
And yet, it’s there. Just as it is in defamation law.
Who defines truth, hate speech, and opinion[?]
A jury of your peers and the Public Order Act 1986.
The US has free speech. Apart from all the exceptions it carves out and designates not protected speech, including but not limited to incitement, threats and harassment, sedition, and obscenity. Obscenity in particular was famously ‘defined’ for a while as “I know it when I see it”. So why draw the line at hate speech?
Is it not a weird state of affairs when saying “X is a paedo” is legally actionable but saying “trans people are all paedos and X is trans” isn’t, even week when X’s house gets burned down either way?
When the other side wins an election are you now the criminal?
Sure, the UK parliament could pass a law saying criticising the prime minister is now illegal. The courts will inevitably issue a declaration of incompatibility with human rights law, but the government, in theory, could ignore it. If the public swallows it. But there’s nothing really stopping that happening in the US either. Congress could pass a law making it illegal to criticise the president, and since the president gets to pick the judges, it could almost certainly come under the sedition exception to the first amendment if the president really wanted it to pass. If the public swallows it.
And that’s what it comes down to at the end of the day. Whether or not the public swallows it. For all the US right wing likes to harp on about freeze peach that sure doesn’t seem to apply if you want to say something bad about America or use the word cisgender. Do you really think the American public is much less likely to support authoritarianism than the British public?
Rust probably stabilise some of its experimental features before we can rewrite the world with it. Const generics for one. (I’d help out with the implementation if I could…)
Dragonborn have to come from somewhere.
