Norman Finkelstein said something the other day, quoting someone else...it was..."hypocrisy is the homage that vice pays to virtue". Meaning, evil people understand what they're doing is wrong, that's why they pretend to be good. Hypocrisy is beyond the point to them. They've sacrificed morality. Although I think Finkelstein was saying it in the context of talking about how Republican pols do so much less of even pretending to be good (though certainly not zero).

It means I should have read the article before I posted that.
Rest of the world understands solidarity better than U.S. voters
You know, if everyone pirated everything for long enough, there'd be no more money for all these content resellers to lobby Congress with, and copyright would just die.
Lemonade in particular is very low % juice. Dunno exactly but probably above 10% it starts tasting too strong.
Food safety regulations don't ban dilution.
Anything useful was probably burned. Coretta Scott King believed the FBI killed MLK, for reference. Trump's just pandering of course.
Honestly, there's some HFCS bullshit, but mostly storebought lemonade seems to be just lemon juice and cane sugar.
American discourse is a neverending pit of bullshit. People will defend a lie to their deaths.
Sorry, I really have a thing about not having endless circular arguments with some asshole who's completely wrong and incapable of admitting it. Tbph you should relinquish your control of any community you mod because your faculties for judgment are just about nonexistent.
The absence of legal proceedings against someone for a crime does not mean they didn't commit the crime. Are you serious?
In fact, show me which of the 5 definitions of Genocide Biden meets under article II of the UN charter.
Another red flag, you're confusing the UN Charter with the UN Genocide Convention, which is what has an "Article II" that defines genocide. Imagine making these kinds of mistakes and posting publicly with the kind of confidence you have. What a dick.
Re: the UN Genocide Convention (not the UN Charter), if you bothered to read Article THREE, it outlines conspiracy to commit genocide as a crime independent of genocide itself, as well as direct and public incitement to commit genocide, and complicity in genocide. By any sane metric he's guilty of multiple of these - even if we ignore the diplomatic, logistical, military, and economic support Biden gave to "Israel" for its genocide, he is also guilty of spreading genocidal incitement propaganda, namely atrocity propaganda about Oct. 7 meant to dehumanize Palestinians.
The ICC, by the way, does not enforce the UN Genocide Convention - rather, the ICJ, a different body, would issue a ruling, if a lawsuit was brought against a state party by another state party, and the UN Security Council - which the US has veto power over - would decide on any enforcement of that ruling.
~12% for a widely speculated upon stock, not really.
