Dolph or Bill?

Disregarding the whole.... eh... evil genocidal murderous villain aspect of this, I'd like to point out some numbers without comment.

77 million people voted for Trump in 2024. The margin of victory for the popular vote, which I know, doesn't technically count, was about 2.2 million.

And we're talking about 65 million people here.

The quote also mentioned Frédéric Joliot.

Had Pierre Curie not died in an accident, he would most likely have eventually died of the effects of radiation, as did his wife, their daughter Irène, and her husband Frédéric Joliot.

In that situation, is it called hydroxic acid, as OP says?

Since when have cops been good people?

Nobody is forcing you to mindlessly meme all the time. You possess a human brain that is capable of considering individual people based on your personal observation of their actions.

he’s not trying to fix the world

It was probably on my second watch of the anime that I figured this out. When he was killing FBI agents who were clearly good people.

One other interesting thing is that he's not interested in elevating himself in the traditional way.

If he wanted to fix the world, and become super rich, he could easily do it at the same time. Because the people who are actually ruining the world aren't the murderers that he killed in the story. The people ruining the world are actually the same people who have all the money. And he has the ability to control them. He can alter their wills if he wants to.

With the Death Note, it would be trivial to become the richest person in the world, but that would attract a lot of attention, so it would also be trivial to become a much less rich, but still incredibly wealthy person. And Light could have done that in a way that would be very hard to trace, if he wanted to. But he didn't want to.

Light begins the story with a very biased view of the world, due to his father being a police officer. He's quite authoritarian. He blames small time criminals and never really considers that there are societal and governmental reasons that they became criminals. Instead, he comes up with a very Machiavellian solution that people should follow the law because they're too afraid to commit crimes.

Doesn't an acid have to be an acid, though?

I'm talking about thermally cooling it down. If you put it in a freezer it will cool down, but the nuclear process will not change speed.

Isn't it just that color because it's hot? Like, if you cooled those off to room temperature, wouldn't they be metallic gray?

My personal toiletries are mine. I don't even let anybody use my nail clippers. (I do have an additional set of clippers just in case anybody wants to borrow mine.) It's not about what's gross or coodies or whatever. It's about me being particular about the condition of my own stuff.

You need to make a choice to continue using Facebook

This reminds me of the movie War Games, when WOPR says, "The only winning strategy is not to play." The only correct choice to make here is to delete your Facebook account.
