I might be okay with castration for violent rape. The problem is when it's considered a sex crime for an 18 year old to have sex with a 17 year old. And a lot of other things are branded as sex crimes that shouldn't be. And Republicans want to make it a sex crime to be gay or transgender

A dumb highschool classmate of mine had a theory that each race of humans is descended from a different kind of ape. He thought he woukd make a lot of money off that theory. The teacher told him he would get lots of money from nazis.

No, a pardon does not make the crime legal (lemm.ee)

I've seen a lot of people on this site make comments that terrorism is now legal in the Untied States or asking if it's now legal for them to storm the capitol and other such nonsense.

No, pardoning someone does not change the law. A pardon just means that individual will not be punished for that specific crime. It doesn't mean that individual is allowed to commit further crimes or even the same one again. It doesn't mean the crime is no longer illegal. It doesn't mean future offenders are guaranteed a pardon. All it means is that individual is forgiven for those specific actions by law.

If you forgive someone for lying to you, that doesn't mean that for the rest of your life they and everyone else has permission to lie to you.

I haven't used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don't seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

The phrase "mild-mannered" is meant to convey that nobody would suspect they are a superhero, but nowadays it is exclusively associated with secret superheroes (lemm.ee)

I have relatives who just took a trip to Florida. They were rebooked about five times on their way there and on their way back. Both ways, they were stranded somewhere overnight. Both ways, they kept having to get off planes before takeoff cause of "mechanical issues". I think, due to recent political upheaval, airlines are dicking with people to discourage international travel.
