I'm on the fence about ending pardons altogether because of political prosecutions.
But the power needs limits. Make a pardon require individual names and criminal codes, no blanket pardons. Maybe even wait until after a conviction. Give congress the power to reverse a pardon within a year. And definitely no pardons for people within a president's own administration (including himself, obviously).
The US needs something like 15-20 new constitutional amendments.
Any legislation can be rewritten too easily (or just plain ignored, apparently) the next time a half-witted authoritarian casts Mass Charm and enough people fail their WIS check.
One example: congressional war and emergency declarations are invalid without an end date no more than 1 year from the initial declaration. Congress can renew with 60% necessary to keep it alive. Make everyone go on the record repeatedly to keep shooting wars going. The President can declare an emergency alone, but it only lasts a week, then congress has to approve to keep it going.
You don't know how to use the three seashells?
I hope the next President makes two changes to the WH:
Restore the previous incarnation of the East Wing, but with a plaque listing all the people and companies that supposedly paid for it, labeled "In remembrance of these individuals that bribed the President."
Leave the paved-over Rose Garden, and rename it to the Donald J. Trump Memorial Concrete Slab.
Top result for me right now on duckduckgo searching for "oversight committee full document dump".
He's also pretty big on people sticking their nose so far up his ass he could kiss them on the lips.
Not necessarily relevant to the people mentioned in this post, but broadly speaking, there were lots of immigrants to the US between 1930 and 1950 that very intentionally changed the spelling or pronunciation of their names to look and sound less German and Italian.
I'll admit, I only made it through part B. This is where you think that because you are the only one to have this thought, it must be a simulation. It doesn't actually mean that, but that's irrelevant anyway because you aren't: The Anthropic Principle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropic_principle) is a well-known part of cosmology and philosophy.
Living at only one point in time doesn't have any greater meaning. Flip this the other way: imagine you have a minimal amount of hand-eye coordination, and you can hit a dart board, but not enough to hit a specific number. So you throw a dart and hit a 3. The chances of that are 1/20, and the chances you hit the very specific spot on that 3 is astronomically smaller. That doesn't mean it's special, it's just where you hit.
Your observations and experiences aren't meaningful because they're planned, they're meaningful because they're yours, and you couldn't have them at any other time.
People are complicated, but I still have a hard time wrapping my head around a gay man being a true far-right christian in 2025. There are religions compatible with being LGBT, but it's just hard to reconcile that with modern christo-fascism.
Sync is still my primary, but I switch over to Voyager sometimes when a stupid bug is getting in my way.
It works - usually - well enough. The UI is just so much better than anything else.
Tyrannus tyrannus is too powerful.
Just because a 3060ti is technically capable of ray tracing doesn't mean I want you to keep turning it on every time the driver gets an update.
