The quote also mentioned Frédéric Joliot.

It's meant to strip citizenship from those who may have lied about their criminal convictions or membership in illegal groups like the Nazi party, or communists during McCarthyism, on their citizenship applications.

While I disagree with denaturalization, I'd accept it if it meant that this reasoning became universal. If you lied while taking an oath that gives you special status, then your special status will be revoked.

Since virtually all Republican politicians lied in their oaths of office to defend the constitution, we could sue to have them removed.

Had Pierre Curie not died in an accident, he would most likely have eventually died of the effects of radiation, as did his wife, their daughter Irène, and her husband Frédéric Joliot.

At some point, somebody convinced people that unrealized gains were not actually income because you don't know for sure that you'd make that money, and I think that was a bad idea. Maybe unrealized gains aren't 1:1 the same thing as income, but the calculations of an income equivalent aren't going to be complicated.

Sheafe said the attack was part of what he claimed was a divine mission to punish religious leaders who, in his view, were misleading followers.

Religious on religious violence.

One other thing you can do is to set a daily alarm on your phone. The downside of the phone solution is that you can simply turn the alarm off and it just goes away.

But if you rely on cats, then you'll at least have to go to where the treats are.

In that situation, is it called hydroxic acid, as OP says?

Since when have cops been good people?

Nobody is forcing you to mindlessly meme all the time. You possess a human brain that is capable of considering individual people based on your personal observation of their actions.

I think this is a call duck.

he’s not trying to fix the world

It was probably on my second watch of the anime that I figured this out. When he was killing FBI agents who were clearly good people.

One other interesting thing is that he's not interested in elevating himself in the traditional way.

If he wanted to fix the world, and become super rich, he could easily do it at the same time. Because the people who are actually ruining the world aren't the murderers that he killed in the story. The people ruining the world are actually the same people who have all the money. And he has the ability to control them. He can alter their wills if he wants to.

With the Death Note, it would be trivial to become the richest person in the world, but that would attract a lot of attention, so it would also be trivial to become a much less rich, but still incredibly wealthy person. And Light could have done that in a way that would be very hard to trace, if he wanted to. But he didn't want to.

Light begins the story with a very biased view of the world, due to his father being a police officer. He's quite authoritarian. He blames small time criminals and never really considers that there are societal and governmental reasons that they became criminals. Instead, he comes up with a very Machiavellian solution that people should follow the law because they're too afraid to commit crimes.

Doesn't an acid have to be an acid, though?
