Thanks to gerrymandering, that happens at the polls with Republicans too.

And there you go again being for murder and against it at the same time. What does ‘a growing crowd of people willing to police their neighbors via public execution’ even mean?

Those are diametrically opposed statements, though. Or are you saying murder is fine if it’s someone you don’t like?

I’d also point out that, if you’re judging from results, killing either a corrupt healthcare CEO or a corrupt politician would probably be equally practical. If you’re judging from morals, I’d say they’re also equal.

As mercury softened the gums, calomel was the principal constituent of teething powders until the mid-twentieth century.

Actually, quite a lot changed with Luigi, but as that’s been discussed on Lemmy all over the place, forward and backward, ad nauseam, we’ll skip it here.

What I’m finding more fascinating is you deriding ‘murdering people you don’t like’ in the first paragraph, and in the third paragraph recommend killing Republican Senators.

It is though. It’s a member of the nightshade family, and every part is quite toxic, except the fruit. Not an issue for a sensible adult, but kids and pets are not very sensible.

Which is great and all if you have room to grow them—and aren’t a complete brown thumb. But a lot of people live in high-rise apartments without so much as a balcony.

And before someone recommends container growing indoors—assuming the apartment is oriented so the tomato gets enough light—that adds also the cost of pot, soil, and probably fertilizer, and then you have a very toxic plant in your house, which needs to be kept away from kids and pets.

And what about underground rivers? If the water is far enough underground, does it not count?

Mercedes Lackey did a take on this where her vampire character explains that vampires tend to be rather aggressively territorial, and delineate their territories via landmarks. He says that one might as well say vampires won’t cross lakes, or mountains, or major highways.
