  • That’s probably the case, or at least a part of it, but it’s crazy that it’s gotten to that point. If somebody finds a food item in the wild and decides to eat it, the consequences should be 100% on them. It doesn’t even have to apply to food, either.

    If I find a block heater on the ground, install it into my car, and then my car catches fire; I’m not going to go after the manufacturer of the block heater. I’m the idiot who decided to do something stupid.

    That being said there’s real life cases which indicate that yes, people are stupid and will sue over their own stupidity, so I’m not surprised at all.



  • “Outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age…

    To me that reads similarly to age restricted websites asking you to verify your age before accessing it, where you just input a date that says you’re old enough and then you’re set. I’ve been 99 years old for the last decade. Given what they’re trying to do, I wouldn’t be surprised if they use more extensive verification measures, but I haven’t read into that yet. If it’s just an age/DOB input, then it’s not really outlawing anything.


  • It’s certainly possible and even likely that there were people marching who just didn’t give a fuck or were purposefully marching like shit, but as somebody who’s served and marched plenty, you’d be surprised how quickly things get messy. It’s easy, sure, but it can get out of hand quickly.

    If one person goes out of step, especially with no cadence cues, those behind follow the one who’s fucking up either consciously or subconsciously. Then the one who’s leading the out of step march shuffles to get back in sync, forcing everybody behind them to have scramble to shuffle back into step. It’s a domino effect.

    Like I said, I won’t say it’s not possible that you’re right, but if you were to watch any marching group you’d see people out of step in almost every case. Regardless of if they wanted to sabotage Trump’s parade in this case, most of the people I served with wouldn’t want to intentionally make their unit look like a bag of hammers - which sloppy marching does.

    I think a lot of people are over analyzing this but like I said, it’s still possible that what you believe is true.
