And the scary thing is, a significant portion of the country will actively cheer him on for it. The dude could go into a full on fugue state, take a shit on the stage and start jacking off, and the MAGA dipshits would still be talking about how that's somehow 4d chess

We've started going full death camp yet people still don't believe that there's a genocide. There are no words to describe just how truly disgusting that is.
If you squint hard enough and hate him enough, you could argue Wilson as well (not the genocide part, but that depends on how much you think an earlier American entrance into WW1 would change things.
Edit: I should add that Wilson is basically single handedly responsible for the rebirth of the KKK

Every single dress code I've been under has included hair.
Edit: I should add, some have been more restrictive than others. Back in high school, it was pretty restrictive. No unnatural dyes, stuff like that. I've also been under ones that essentially boil down to "just don't look like a complete mess man".
Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse....
No, the entire point is that you're free to go to whatever instance you want and/or host your own with your own rules. You're more than welcome to go to one that doesn't defederate, just as every instance owner/admins are free to defederate. It's not how "the fediverse is supposed to operate" because a standard for how the fediverse is supposed to operate doesn't exist.
Donald Trump’s lawyers asked a New York judge Friday to suspend an $83.3 million defamation verdict against the former president, saying there was a “strong probability” that it would be reduced on appeal, if not eliminated....
Yeah no, you owe bigoted shitheads nothing just because you happen to share DNA with them
When the disconnect is whether or not people deserve rights just because of things like gender identity, I don't give a shit about finding common ground. The bigoted shitbags can eat shit and die
It's like when people pretend Bill Gates is self made, as if his family didn't have to be very well off to afford the computer time he needed to build his skills
I’m thinking along the lines of older spouse dies, younger spouse marries someone younger and becomes the older spouse. Then older spouse dies again and repeat. Has anything like this happened in a long enough chain to be significant? Is it so mundane no one cares?
Not at all an answer to your question, but a very semi-related tangent.
The last receipt of a US Civil War pension passed away relatively recently. She was a young woman who would regularly help out a local older man, a civil war vet with no kids or family otherwise. Towards the end of his days, he married her so she'd get the benefits of his pension, as things were really really tough.
Some of the detail might be off, going off of memory, but that's the general gist.
EDIT:
So I went to double check, and I got a fair bit of it wrong.

She was actually the daughter of the woman I thought I was talking about. Her mother married her father at ages 29 and 78 respectively, and she was born one of five children in 1930, living until the age of 90 before passing in 2020.

In a quirky response, the company’s customer support team reduced the bill to $5,225. And when the story started trending online, the CEO decided that the user wouldn’t be charged at all.
I'm not, but I'm also not a fucking moron and recognize that the current situation will get significantly worse if the guy who's pretty open about wanting to outright shoot anyone that tries to cross the border is elected.
