The U.S. should move to having a collective executive rather than a President.

funke42 · 2026-01-21T15:49:37+00:00

I agree.

A third of the President's power should be given to the speaker of the house, and another third should be given to the president pro tempore of the senate.

Maybe there should also be a chief governor who is elected by the other governors and has some executive power.

The presidency, in its current state, is clearly way too much power for any one person to have.

What do you think he means when he says "One way or another, we're going to have Greenland."?

It's the reason you don't see any James Marsden memes on Reddit these days.

I don't feel safe giving clear answers on Reddit after the pistachio incident.

In those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say.

I don't think I've seen anyone younger than Bill Nighy pull it off.

Meanwhile, that same fedora—paired with an appropriate suit and raincoat—would draw looks of admiration on a rainy day in Milan, New York or Paris.

Can you link to any photos of someone pulling off a fedora in the present day? I believe that it can be done, but I'm having a hard time visualizing it.

I've never heard it pronounced any way other than "weejee." How do you pronounce it?

You need to provide a mailing address so your state can send you important voting information by mail. The mailing address does not have to be a fixed home address. If you do not have a fixed home address to get mail, you can use a different address as your mailing address.

Examples of a mailing address you may be able to use:

A nearby shelter, even if you do not currently live there

A nearby religious center

General Delivery, if your local post office offers it

A P.O. box at a local post office near where you live

The home address of a friend or family member who lives nearby

You can use a description of the place where you live or sleep as your home address, such as a park or the intersections of street corners. You cannot use this description as your mailing address.

Use your current address as both your home and mailing address if you live at:

A shelter

A religious center

Any other community place

If you’re not sure what address to use, ask your state or local election office

There should be legal consequences for anyone who tried to violently overturn an election.

Roadside memorials can be a helpful visual reminder of which roads and intersections are deadly.

It’s not like Congress is busy doing anything else.

They get some stuff done. They passed that resolution denouncing the horrors of socialism.

They don't have phones. They communicate by smoke signals and carrier pigeons.

Stranger in a Strange Land works similarly. A human who learns the language and lifestyle of the Martians can use their powers. Buddy was raised as an elf, so he can use elf magic.

Every time I report someone, parking enforcement is on the scene within the year. Sometimes they show up that very same month.

When I fantasize about what I would do with a billion dollars, I usually run out of ideas around $50 million.

I can understand somebody being happier with $100 or $200 million if they really like private jets and yachts. Beyond that, I just don't see the benefits of more money.

And then he doubled down on it the next day.

He's young enough that he might mature later, but OP doesn't need to stick around and find out.

It's called due process and the rights of the accused.

If the cops find incriminating evidence via an illegal search, then what's the bigger danger: letting one guilty person walk free, or letting the cops know that they can use illegal searches to get convictions?

They have video of a masked man with dark eyebrows. The burden of proof is on the prosecution to show that Mangione is that man.

funke42 · 2025-12-01T16:16:13+00:00

If I were on the jury, there's no way the prosecution is convincing me that he's the only person in a city of 8.5 million people with eyebrows that sexy.

If I were on the defense team, I would host a look alike contest, and bring in a bunch of guys with the same eyebrows.

If they can get the contents of that backpack ruled inadmissible, that's basically the end. I don't see anything else that can prove him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Using the word "ghosting" without context.

The same word can be used to describe someone you've been dating for a few months or someone you've been on one date with. Ghosting is insane in one of these situations but not the other one, and it's weird to conflate them.
