The thing is, though, that's plainly interpreted as a "No Quarter" order, which is also illegal to give!

But yeah, I definitely share your pessimism that he'll face consequences

This is part of why you don't follow illegal orders. You're still culpable for breaking the law! You can absolutely be thrown under the bus for it!

To be clear though, as an Admiral he 100% knows better than to commit a textbook war crime, and he needs to be held accountable. It's just that Hegseth needs to as well

Man, we really need better leadership in this godforsaken party lmao

Feels like we could be looking at half the CFP field playing with interim coaches. The sport's in a pretty rough place when that's the case

This is why you don't follow illegal orders. You get held responsible for carrying them out!

It's like how people die horrible deaths in every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but it never occurs to any of the people living in Sunnydale that they should move away from the town that has an impossibly high mortality rate, they just make quips about how often people die there

I feel like after the first time the monsters attack, the smart thing to do is simply move away.

If anything she went easy on the student. She outright called the instructor demonic! In what world is that considered acceptable to do?
December 1, 2025 at 1:12 AM
Genuinely, if I had a student refer to me as demonic in something they turned in, it'd get an admin referral from me

The filibuster needs to go. It's the big reason Congress has been paralyzed with inaction for my entire life. Getting rid of it would go a long way towards giving Congress their teeth back

The old neighborhood has fallen on hard times and it's entirely because you never raced a little homemade wooden car down that hill. The people needed that moment and they never got it 😞

Fun bit of trivia: Duke once argued in court that they had the worst football team in the country in order to cancel a game at the last minute

"Your Honor, Louisville says they don't have time to find a suitable replacement, but *any* team would be a suitable replacement!"

They were successful!

They were able to get away with that because:

1) People understood that it was a fake covid season

2) OSU would have gone to the CCG had they taken a loss instead of the game just being cancelled (through no fault of their own). It was a poorly written tiebreaker

IU still raised hell about it!

Disagree, changing the rules of competition after the games are played feels pretty fundamentally unfair in my mind.

Outer Wilds is the easy answer for me. You can only ever play the game once

The Menswear Guy spits fire on that site as well

Yeah, but she's a junior at OU, so...
