Wearing costumes establishes costumes and illustrates the joviality of at least a portion of the attendees of the event. It would be odd to say that it is immaterial that you went to a concert or a restaurant or any place really, and lots of people were dressed as Vikings, or as SWAT, etc.

It's immaterial insofar as the US Capitol is not, in fact, a concert or restaurant.

(And similarly, it should be clear that an insurrection's nature doesn't depend on whether the crowd is jovial or not.)


It was a happy guillotine. The French are also off the hook because they were so damn happy to be guillotining people.

I would also say that this is the correct way to handle a former president that was elected as the result of a rigged election.

Yes, I hope things similar to this don't happen in this years midterms, like they did in 2020.


Dude, the Capitol Police are the ones that let them ("J6ers") in to begin with. The whole thing was a set up from the get go.


> the Capitol Police are the ones that let them ("J6ers") in to begin with

This is nonsense. The numerous videos of the insurgents violently assaulting said police not giving its proponents pause indicates the standard of evidence its propoents are using.


Right on.

If the goal is to fix student grades instead of just documenting it, the points counted off need to escalate with repeated incorrect answers. The first incorrect answer can be treated as an honest mistake. But when the third or fourth quiz still shows the same incorrect answers, the grade shouldn't be the same C; it should decline sharply. At some point the cost of ignoring the problem has to exceed the points from letting it continue.

You just solved education!


Yes, yes of course. The leftover smell of homeless urine by the front door isn't real; it is only carefully calculated scents piped in by corporate dollar store yuppies to have you believe this is an authentic experience.


LOL it just seems that no business can do right here. So these low margin stores should just shutter and close up shop because they are somehow still "screwing poor people"? Would you commend them if their business just infinitely ran at a loss or gave people cash at the register instead of charging them anything for the items that they want?


Not really sure where your examples or experiences come from, but the majority of rural people that I know love most of their dollar stores.


LOL yeah OK, are we just making random statements now?

Yup. Outback Steakhouse is worse than a fast food store like McDonald's, it's an expensive not fast food store.


It doesn't sound all that monopolistic if there really are as many different places to buy it at cheaper prices as you say in your same comment...
