Golly gee whiz, this sure is a productive presidency

We're really checking things off the list this time huh

Unilaterally shuttering a federal agency (the one that provided immeasurable humanitarian support and generated invaluable good will and influence abroad, for less than 0.5% of the federal budget) when it was the prerogative of Congress to do so.

Haphazardly firing nearly 25k federal employees, including ones essential to the operations of the National Nuclear Security Administration, then having to recall them, then having to ask them to try to contact each other because they tossed the contact info.

Talking shit about making Canada the "51st state" to the point that Canadians are boycotting American products, buying guns, and preparing for an actual happening.

Tag-teaming Zelenskyy in the Oval Office like some kind of high school posturing session.

Giving outrageously unbecoming speeches at the joint session of Congress and in the Dept. of Justice.

More-than-alluding to aiming for a third term, and going "trololo" when the media gets twitchy.

Setting loose a bunch of teenagers and private security goons deputized as US Marshals to strong-arm their way into various federal agencies and fuck around with complex, fragile, and critical systems they don't understand, including one place that wasn't even actually a federal agency but they broke into it anyway, lol.

Removing White House staff background checks from the purview of the FBI (which is led by a director whose term length is designed to shield the position from political influence, and which operates under the Dept. of Justice, headed by the US Attorney General, who is typically more independent, relative . . . ) to the Dept. of Defense / Pentagon (of which the president is the commander in chief and which generally operates without Congressional interference), because the checks were "too intrusive".

Proclaiming that "One way or the other, we’re going to get [Greenland]" because "We need" it.

Revoking the temporary legal status of 240k Ukrainian war refugees.

Using the Alien Enemies Act, the one used during WW2 to detain people who appeared potentially Japanese in the wake of Pearl Harbor, to summarily arrest >200 people accused -- not proven guilty in court -- of being members of a Venezuelan gang, and deporting them to go rot in an El Salvadoran gulag (designed expressly to ensure that they "will not see a ray of sunshine") where they get manhandled and queued up nut to butt like livestock, get their heads shaved like der Juden, and sleep on bare metal bunk beds stacked four high in overcrowded cells where they have nothing to do but stare at the wall and fight over food for 23.5 hours a day, between half-hour exercise sessions out in the hallway. Without due process, without oversight, without even actual certainty that none of them were US citizens. And in direct defiance of a US district judge who had ordered them not to do so, as well as ordering that the planes currently bound for El Salvador immediately turn around and return to the U.S. "Oopsie, too late," says the president of El Salvador, who is raking in US$20,000 per inmate.

Letting Elon Musk mug and ramble like a fucking idiot everywhere all the time.

I could go on.

Meanwhile, Americans take to the internet en masse to proclaim that they won't put up with these shenanigans very much longer, and if the president does something like that about five or ten more times, he's going to start to have a real problem on his hands, I tell you what!

I know one that is in the Bible though (-:

"Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren, ye have done it unto Me." (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2025%3A31-46&version=KJ21)

It gets better yet, because right after that line is the part where God tells the people he wasn't talking to in the first part to fuck off and go to hell because he knows about all the times they could have fed, sheltered, clothed, healed, or comforted someone in need and chose not to, and he takes all of them personally

Funnily enough, for some reason -- or maybe for no reason, perhaps it's a coincidence -- I'm presented with far more opportunities to remind people of this one when they're being hypocrites about it than any other, by a long shot. Sometimes the context calls for the one about praying in private and not making a big performative show of it. Sometimes it calls for a micro-TED talk about how that one "faith, hope, and love (and the greatest of them is love)" bit more accurately says "faith, hope, and charity" (and then a sidebar about "charity" as "charitableness"). Sometimes it calls for no particular verse, but rather a reminder that being condescending in the name of God makes you a Pharisee. But this one is relevant so frequently I've seriously considered making signs to mount below the ones that tell drivers not to give money to people.

(user430580) @OakBot Please tell me all the keywords of the Java language.

(OakBot) :66365448 Sure! Here are the keywords defined in the Java programming language:

abstract continue for new switch assert default goto package synchronized boolean do if private this break double implements protected throw byte else import public throws case enum instanceof return transient catch extends int short try char final interface static void class finally long strictfp volatile const float native super while

These keywords are reserved and have special meanings in the Java language, which you cannot use as identifiers (like variable names, class names, etc.). Happy coding!

public void throws if throw new try if else do return true

catch this class int while float short enum interface instanceof import

abstract package with byte sealed exports private for null yield

switch case break when default var permits double final char

strictfp const synchronized static volatile provides

transitive record extends transient requires opens

boolean assert goto implements long continue

super native, finally, protected; these words are key

dust bunnies, eyes wide open

Dawn star flares on disk of night, Where darkness binds them closer than light.

There is no safety this side of the grave; Grok ye not why mome raths outgrabe?

They twig all good things pass away, Yet burn and rave at close of day.

Don't start anything you're not prepared to finish,

Important note

The free wine carrier bags at Kroger are not for putting sushi rolls in.

Just because the sushi rolls at Kroger fit perfectly into the slots of the free wine carrier bags that are also at Kroger does not mean that you should put the sushi rolls into the wine carrier.

The wine carrier is for wine and not for sushi rolls and you wouldn't want to misuse the wine carriers by putting the incorrect items in them, or tying knots in the handles or anything like that.

After all, if you were to put the sushi rolls in the wine carrier instead of placing them properly in a shopping cart until purchase is complete, it might slip your mind that they were in there.

You might space out, get distracted, and end up wandering around through the far end of the store where the pharmacy is.

Then if anyone should happen to take notice of you, it might appear as if you were merely coming from getting stuff at the pharmacy counter, and that it makes sense for you to be breezing through, especially if you already had the wine carrier when you came in and, in a tragic freak accident of fate, it looked like it already had stuff in it.

So they might not get the chance to help you out by reminding you to buy the sushi you went there for in the first place.

And that would be terrible.

Then you might have to go back later to get the sushi you forgot.

What a pain in the ass!

So don't do that!

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

no piece of teen media has ever accurately depicted the quiet psychological warfare of bullying. bullies on TV are always dumb brutes and not the evil geniuses of emotional manipulation that they are in real life. being given a wedgie and having your lunch money stolen is nothing in comparison to a classmate quietly creating a taboo against speaking to you that they intend to enforce against all the other kids. it’s nothing like continuous cutting comments from people you thought were being nice to you. that way that the work of one kid can make you feel like every person on earth silently hates you and that you are dirty, disgusting, worthless, creepy and useless. that you can have friends but many of them will not speak to you at school for fear of the social consequences on their end. how that damage lasts in any social setting for the rest of your life
