- which largely consisted of just that. And nobody was warned or noted. I don’t know if it’s policy, but it’s certainly good sense,

I was about to say that it was already part of the rule, because I have seen that said before. That if you post in non-English then either you need a translation or it should be obvious in context. (For example, if you make a statement, and someone effectively refutes your statement, and you simply reply “Touché” then I doubt you’d get a note.)

But then I checked the rules and it’s not there. I know they are working on simplifying/revising the rules, hopefully they’ll include rules like this one that are difficult to follow because they aren’t actually written down for people to follow.

Not here.

> As some of you are no doubt aware, we had a bit of drama related to the Pit recently, which has led to me reconsidering my approach to how I moderate the Pit. Previously, I’d held to a position where pretty much any sort of insult was allowed, short of racial slurs. I used this standard because I felt it was about as objective as possible, but it’s led to a number of situations in the last couple years where I was defending behavior that made me nauseous, and I don’t want to do that anymore. …

Unless it’s written in some non-obvious way. I searched for “english” and “language” separately and found nothing.

Oh, and for what it’s worth I totally support the rule. It’s annoying when someone posts a long screed I don’t understand to try to look clever. (You don’t.) So I’m not griping about it.

And I’m done talking about this because this isn’t ATMB.

I really like having a rule (maybe unofficial) of “include a translation”.

Just like “Don’t keep using an insider acronym without mentioning what it means”. I think it comes under the heading of “Don’t be a jerk”. Which _is_ a rule.

.

Oh, and speaking of the original topic… [here’s a CNN piece](https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/14/politics/donald-trump-2022-mitch-mcconnell-kevin-mccarthy/index.html) on Trump, who “cares little about helping the party and its other candidates.”

Pisses me off just because he’s still making headlines.

Out of the blue, [he told a group of donors that he’s not into golden showers.](https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-yells-im-not-into-golden-showers-at-elite-gop-donors?ref=home)

> “I’m not into golden showers,” he reportedly told the crowd. “You know the great thing, our great first lady—‘That one,’ she said, ‘I don’t believe that one.’”

Doesn’t believe THAT story, but she believes others. Good to know. I hope if he runs, he brings up golden showers in a debate.

If you remember, Trump backdoor admitted it happened. Once in office, he directed the FBI and CIA heads to find out if a tape of the incident existed in Russia.

If it never happened, no tape could possibly exist, therefore no reason for the question.

Even when he’s no longer breathing, the fact he existed(more importantly, elected) will still piss me off.

:You know, sometimes I think about exactly how I’m going to pull off peeing on his grave. Haven’t figured it out yet.

One thought - get a group, large enough to be two or three deep. Gather close around the grave, bow your heads, and pray. The inner group can also spray, not likely to be spotted (and many people hold their hands at waist/crotch level when praying standing up).

I had thought about dressing up as a priest and sprinkling what would appear to be holy water.

I think the point is moot anyway, I bet he gets buried on a private estate somewhere.

Not to go all prescriptivist on you, but that’s not really pissing on his grave, is it? If there isn’t a chance of an indecent exposure citation, I’m not sure it counts.
