It's a common idiom that indicates skeptical disagreement.

Instructional videos for things you only do occasionally. You can re-watch the video right before you perform whatever task you're trying to do.
"Don't bring me down... Bruce!" as heard by everyone ever.
(It's "gross," supposedly. Apparently Jeff Lynne sings "Bruce" sometimes in concert just to mess with his fans.)
From Wikipedia:
Springsteen has joked about confusion over the lyrics, claiming that it was not until Manfred Mann rewrote the song to be about a feminine hygiene product that it became popular.
The majority of those features are written as elisp libraries. They're only loaded if you use them. Unless you're concerned with disk space (why? Disk space is cheap), they aren't the source of your bloat.
The features that are built-in can be changed via the configure script, assuming you don't mind compiling Emacs.
If Emacs feels sluggish, then you're probably loading unnecessary things in your init.el. Or you're on Windows and your virus scanner is fighting with it (that happens to me on my work laptop with Trend Micro).
Edit: org-mode is fairly large and can take a bit to load the first time. Could that be what you're experiencing?
Time to update Wikipedia's List of Sexually Active Popes.
If there was ever an article that deserved This list is incomplete, you can help by expanding it, it's this one.
Maybe he impersonates writers, wizards, mall Santas, and Rasputin?
Ah yes, all that genocide the US supported in Japan. I must have missed that.
Yeah, I'm done here. You've moved on to a completely different subject and I'm tired of arguing with tankies for the evening.
You apparently do not understand the role of a government.
A government is responsible for itself and its people. It is not responsible for the well being of the world at large. It's not there to be nice. If it has principles (the US does), it is up to the citizens of that country to hold their government accountable to those principles.
US citizens generally approved of their government's actions after the war, so in that sense the government was acting properly.
I cannot emphasize this enough. The US government is not responsible for the rest of the world. How everyone else feels about what the US does only matters insofar as how it affects US interests. It was that way then, and it's that way now, and it's like that for every modern country on the planet.
The US does not need to (or want to) be subject to international law when it can act with near impunity. Law only works when it can be enforced. No other country is powerful enough to hold the US to account, so it would be against the US' interests to submit itself to it.
Don't like it? Tough. That's the way the real world is. One day the US will fall, but until that happens it will continue to consider its own interests above everyone else.
Call it imperialism, call it what you like - but it could be so, so much worse. Just ask Japan - the US could have annexed the entire country and enslaved everyone. Instead, they denazified it and helped them rebuild. Oh, what horrible villains!
(edit: autocorrect keeps "correcting" the possessive form of "it.")
So, pray tell, what would you have done in the US' position?
Did he say that because the answer to IF it worked was no?
They're an insignificant source, at least for bats and birds.
