"If only I was a dictator, then I wouldn't have to do all of these things simply to stay out of jail." - Literally everybody who praises Viktor Orban.

Since I wasn't complaining about the original founders, I'm not sure that this hypothetical is relevant.

What I do know is that a billion dollars is far more money than anybody needs to live extravagantly for the rest of their lives.

The propagandist doesn't like free speech? Who could have anticipated that?

If this guy came along and made more off their work, who cares?

I do. That's the thing I am complaining about. People who only contributed money taking the lion's share of the profits.

So he didn't do any of the work for originally coming up with the idea or making the site, and then he also didn't do any of the work in making the site's popular content.

I do see there is some risk and some value in investing in a company, but it seems wrong that he became a billionaire when the people who did the actual work didn't. More evidence that we don't need billionaires.

That cat is a hero who is giving CPR to a human in crisis long before CPR had even been invented.

I have found that you can often go car free if you live and work near a University.

I have a family member who died during the beginning of the COVID pandemic who I suspect might have survived longer if anyone competent had been president.

There are millions of people alive on Earth today who can legitimately blame Trump for the death of a loved one. We wouldn't need any other excuse for whatever behavior we show.

Whenever Trump kicks the bucket, I know I'll feel both relief and disappointment. Disappointment because he won't have spent enough time in prison for the evil things he did.

The chipped axe blade says otherwise.

There's nothing professional about this. A headsman doesn't execute people from a pillory at all. The criminal's hands would get in the way. You need to cut through the neck, but the pillory covers the neck. And you'd have to be extremely precise to hit the person and not the wood or metal, which might explain the chip in the axe blade.

If you insist on executing a person in a pillory, a professional would whip them to death.

Then, there's the basket. It's way too far away. The head would drop straight down and land on the ground.

No, this is a guy cosplaying as a headsman. No professional in sight.

I finished Space Chem but not Magnum Opus. I actually think it's for the stupidest reason, that Space Chem is pretending that I'm making real molecules instead of alchemy or whatever.
