N... no, you're just someone that baked a lime pie. Which is okay. No here.

Mind you, if you still call it a key lime pie despite not baking it with key limes, we've got a problem.

Eh, it seems to mostly be because that was the wording already on the books, established who-knows how long ago. It probably originated less as a calculated "fuck you" and more out of ignorance, though its current form being maintained is likely because of spite.

E: Well, the entire bill is constructed out of spite, just not directed specifically at islam. They're just cheerful collateral damage to the hate-gays agenda, in this case.

... so, uh, wow. Apparently Oklahoma's house this past tuesday passed a bill (.pdf here, with the particularly relevant bit starting in section 7, near the bottom of page 8.) that intends to completely remove civil marriages from their state. It'll make it so the only people capable of officiating a marriage are clergy of the christian, jewish, or baha'i faiths -- state personnel will be there only to record marriages, and everyone that doesn't want to go down that route either has to take up a common law marriage (which is very much not the same thing) or presumably go out of state.

It's still got to get through their senate, but considering both are republican majority...

Tally another point on the list of "Stay the hell away from Oklahoma", I guess.

I can't even tell if you folks are talking about the same "they" at this point.

... yeah, that's significantly longer. 31.7 mil years, give a bit because screw leap years?

... a million seconds is something like 11-12 days. That's... not very big?

I should never be trusted to cook without supervision.

I was supposed to put the pot full of food into the crock pot. I poured the food out of the pot and into the crock pot.

Put... putting a pot with food in it into a crock pot actually sounds like a rather silly thing to do, t'me? If someone wasn't pretty explicit about needing to do that, I'd be doing the same thing you did. And I've kinda' cooked a wee bit at this point.

Unless you're talking about the pot that normally goes into a crock pot (they're often a two-stage thing for easier cleaning, iirc), in which case I'd be questioning why it wasn't in there to begin with...

Though putting a pot in a pot so you can pot while you pot does kinda' sound like something unsurprising re: your situation, if my memory's working.

The Logan Act, yes. Which... in the ~236 years it's been on the books, there has been one indictment (that happened over two centuries ago.) and zero convictions.

I mean, it's there, and a felony crime, but...

E: It does make them look like people that are attempting to undermine the government's functioning, but, uh. That's more or less been an explicit GOP platform for a while now. Not exactly unusual.
