Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Nah. Tools are useful. He's toxic fuckin waste.

[–] halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

No, toxic waste can still be useful in the right context, like scientific research.

[–] Mad_Punda@feddit.org 5 points 4 days ago

As long as the toxic waste is properly contained. Which isn’t the case here.

“So, if you think about it, we have a gulf and we have a lake. Now, all we need is an ocean,” Trump said. “So maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them."

Can he just die please.

LOL.

But also, broadly speaking this is true.

Trump signed an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to Lake of America. If you remembered lake names using pneumonic HOMES, you can now use SHAME. Or you can be an adult and call it Lake Ontario, because exectucie orders don't rename geography.

The Premier of Ontario told Trump that he could kiss his ass.

So Trump is changing the name of Lake Ontario on American maps.
