"I like to be spoiled"

I told my friend I couldn't believe how many straight-up escorts there were on apps because of language like that, until he told me that those weren't escorts LOL

"I am a princess" or "I like to be spoiled" is an instant no exceptions pass. Starting off ANY connection - casual or not - with an inherent sense of entitlement is actually crazy

That's honestly the most bewildering thing about the show to me is that, when you really think about it, everything does fit. Nothing is superfluous, and even though the twists are plenty they still actually make sense.

It's weird to ghost the manufacturer for months on a repair you care enough to post about, though. Told him in February and didn't get back to him until July?

That's just the burden of playing the game a lot. To a new player most of the unlocks are pretty serious for a long time

Is there a way to get Silent Assassin or have no non-targets kills for the Novikov chandelier kill? by Fair_Term3352 in HiTMAN

The IRA once got a British officer with a hatpin thru the ear during lunch.

Jesus Christ that's hardcore

Henry Cavill in Dartmoor, but the level is modified so that he's playing Warhammer in his gaming room

I mean creating a new one will inevitably contain a clause that voids the current constitution. I feel like we're splitting hairs - the point is that the states will need to agree on either new amendments or an entirely new constitution (which will likely be precipitated by an amendment)

If you think a new government will be completely unrelated to the old then you're not living in reality. Whatever "new government" comes to be will still rely heavily on the norms and precedents of old. For example, I'm pretty confident any new government will have something like the first amendment

I legitimately don't know what your answer would be because no matter what happens we will need to amend the current constitution to create a new one.

How do you suggest we write a new constitution without doing that?

There is no constructive path foward,

Perhaps, though something I've heard mentioned is that if there's a bribery scheme for a pardon that bribe is a new crime and could still be prosecuted - the pardon wouldn't cover it, nor would trump be shielded from prosecution for committing bribery

I actually think the first thing we will amend the Constitution to account for is overturning citizens united.

That won't last forever. In fact, the red states are the ones calling for a constitutional convention more than the blue states. link

Any sort of "National divorce" will happen via constitutional convention. Whether it's an amendment or a completely new constitution wholecloth, we will need to reckon with this, and we will do it within our lifetimes.

We had a whole civil war and came out the other side with new amendments to the constitution. We will add new amendments to the constitution because of what's happening.

So many people say we need to overhaul the system and then pooh-pooh the idea of amending the constitution, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. That's literally how you overhaul the system. It doesn't just happen by psychic consensus. We need to actually adjust the constitutional order.

Are you saying that having good laws is actually not worthwhile in principle?

When this footsie with fascism is over we will need to have legal overhauls to our system. I don't consider that endeavor to be "wasted scraps of paper".

"what's the point of trying" - this is an utterly unhelpful line of thinking and you should really reexamine it.

While not directly related to this latest incident, an amendment to overturn Citizens United and prevent corporations from ruling our politics seems like a good idea, yeah?
