How does insurance work on Purge Day? Can I burn down my house for the payoff; take out life insurance on a few randos that someone else will almost certainly murder? And if you steal the crown jewels can you still get nabbed for possession of stolen property the next day? I’ve thought way too much about this.

This doesn't have enough stars 

I know of a few parents who would feel more chagrinned than amused to find they caused their child needless pain. 

Obama won because he was charismatic and promised change. Trump won because he is charismatic and Russia convinced everyone that he would bring change. Policy spouting centrists are not the future. 

It is expensive and someone with Musk’s money (and lawyers) could draw the lawsuit out long enough to bankrupt the guy before it got to court.

My family knows I’m not super, actively religious but I’m dreading the day I have to address it with them directly. I had a funny (?) conversation with a friend (also a Recovering Fundie) where I realized…
