Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Plus DOGE published that their biggest cost reduction was 8 billion, but turns out it was, I shit you not, $8,000,000.00
And this is the people that are gonna let manage the treasury.
The difference between 8 million and 8 billion is about 8 billion dollars.
Shows what you know, it's only 7.992 billion different!
I have the urge to slap 99.9% of your face.

Ew! Fuck! If you're gonna use shudder MATH, then at least have the common courtesy to CW your post!
Its even more egregious.
So far, doge claims it saved 45 billion on its website. When you add up the actual reciepts posted, it's 16 billion. Of that 16 billion, half is this false 8 billion, which is 8 million, with 2.5 million already paid out, so actually just 5.5 million.
So even by their records, which are not trustworthy, they may have cut 8 billion. The 100 billion number? Just something Charlie kirk made up. No other hard data at all.
When your face is that small, everything else looks much bigger.
How are these people brazillionaires and I'm schlepping away to not get my home taken off me by the bank? I can string a sentence together and do basic arithmetic, and I can count to twenty without taking off my shoes!
