When did it become 2003 again? And why is it one letter off from the way I remember it?

It is and it has been since 1787, but there's no functional difference between a law not being enforced and the thing the law's about being legal.

(Art. I, § 9, cl. 8): “[N]o Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States], shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

(Art. II, § 1, cl. 7): “The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them.”

(Art. I, § 6, cl. 2): “No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States, which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been encreased during such time; and no Person holding any Office under the United States, shall be a Member of either House during his Continuance in Office.”

You're definitely paying for legality and safety, but when you have to search through five different streaming apps to find that the movie you're looking for can only be rented via yet another service, the convenience becomes debatable.

Oh you might look like 'just a guy', but your preternatural skill with mazes and singing voice that leads people to risk their lives to hear better would be a dead giveaway that you were not so ordinary.

Nothing to do with it? There are thousands of uninvited members of a foreign military in five of their oblasts right now.

Switch focus to US wars

Because if you thought the kids hated America when they found out about the racism and sexism, wait till they find out about My Lai and Haditha.

It's a prion disease. Mad Cow, Creutzfeldt-Jacob, Chronic Wasting (so far only seen in deer), and Scrapies (known of for a long time and so far limited to sheep and goats) all start with a misfolded protein and gradually break down the brain till it looks like a sponge.

When your political project is 'make everyone as miserable as I am', whining about every goddamn thing is actually a kind of praxis.
