You misunderstand how most dictatorships work. You either crown someone absolute king - and there’s less than a handful of them - or you pretend to work within a constitutional framework which is the most popular form of dictatorship by far and the only realistic option in the US, at least for now. The latter introduces limits to what a dictator can do without breaking the illusion that everything is working as it should.

I can’t overstate how much effort the garden variety dictatorship puts into making everything seem “business as usual”.

If Trump goes there he might as well try to formally replace the entire constitution.

I know this one! What’s the last sentence of 12th amendment?

Of course there will be elections. Very few dictatorship skip elections outright nowadays.

Vim and VS Code are both text editors that can become IDEs with plugins. You can use vim with language servers if you want, as there are plugins for it.

I suspect that in some countries supermarket cartels are using the American egg shortage being in the news to increase their margins.

Plot twist: the Tulsi Gabard in the chat was an Iranian spy instead of the real Russian spy.

It depends on the context. If the pentagon has a chat app that only has authorized people with verified identities and using official devices in it, then using Signal introduces an attack vector that was not there before.

To their defence, it’s better than using an open conference call on WebEx.

The holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers, it started more than 10 years before with people ignoring evil because it was convenient for them.

So the model 3 was released when he was a Trump advisor, and the Y when he openly started spreading conspiracy theories non stop.

As for the “we didn’t know” excuse it’s as bullshit now has it was in 1945.

Musk has been acting nazi for quite some time.

That still excludes the people driving around in a swasticar

You can go two months between haircuts without looking like the missing link? Lucky you.

On the other hand, if you are driving and see another driver stop assume there’s a good reason for it and should at least slow down enough to stop at a moment’s notice.

Your advice is a good argument to forbid people from driving.

With all the horror stories I heard about issues with leaking pipes or faulty electrical circuits requiring ceilings and walls to be torn down, the real question is why we don’t do all the ceilings and walls like that.

There were always travel warnings for the US, specially because of rabid cops.

Pre-industrial societies still expected children to work from young ages. And they would often switch to adult labour in their early teens.

He assumed his opponents would kill random people instead of targeting his property.

He probably can’t even comprehend a worldview where people prefer to attack wealth over taking another human being’s life.

Laws preventing all forms of chick culling exist in Germany, France, and Luxembourg. Switzerland and Austria forbid shredding but allowing gasing male chicks (Austrians really love their gas chambers). There are ongoing discussions about forbidding the practice in most of Western Europe (AFAIK only the UK doesn’t have ongoing discussions).
