RIP Issac Newton (aka the last alchemist), you would have loved watching the physicists get annoyed because they accidentally turned lead into gold

Physicists at the Large Hadron Collider turned lead into gold – by accident
The ancient dream of turning lead into gold is now a reality – but it’s not quite what the alchemists might have hoped for.

First they came for your due process rights, and you said nothing for you had not committed a crime.

Then they came for your right to privacy, and you said nothing for you had nothing to hide.

Then they came for your free speech rights, and you said nothing.

My U.S. Rep, a Democrat, held a town hall and explicitly said that THE REASON she was speaking out louder now was because she got so many calls and emails.

DEFINITELY YELL AT THEM. It’s the only language they speak. It’s literally how they gauge public opinion.
One reason we yell at Democratic electeds is because a lot of us live in blue states and THEY'RE OUR REPS. So of course we yell at them when they do a bad job; that's what we do in a democracy! If we had R reps, we'd yell at them, but we've got these Ds, and a lot of them are blowing it.

Oh you're so cool you can finish your to-do list. I can rush through mine and make a ton of mistakes and have to redo everything three times so it's kinda like I'm four times as productive as you.

the English language is based just enough on Dutch that everything you might say in Dutch sounds like someone making fun of Dutch
