If these are two of the most powerful men on Earth, it’s surely time to jump on the next SpaceX rocket to Mars.
That is a weird way to spell "get out the guillotines"

Which I would classify as pretty weird, but not really unethical. Besides, I think the comparison doesn't fully work - it's more like, growing a lump on your body somewhere, having it removed, and saying "hey, can I eat that?". Which I would also classify as weird, but not unethical.
Now here's a game were calling the remake "reforged" actually works really well
Besagte Michmichseite erschafft so weit ich mich erinnere auch fast ausschließlich Fälschungen. Das hier ist recht witzig (wobei ich die "Christstollen" und das Bananenbiegen etwas dick aufgetragen finde), aber einige von denen sind, wie die Jugend wahrscheinlich sagen würde, schon sehr "krinsch". Ähnliche Dinge passieren mit Sicherheit, aber das Wasserzeichen ist ein klares Indiz von Karikatur und Überzeichnung.

There is actually a huge thing to consider with any kind of authoritarian system ideologically: Basically without fail, they will have a "rules for thee, not for me" dynamic behind the scenes. Make abortion illegal? It will still be possible to skirt the rules for the powerful, and pervert the right to control your own body as a woman into the privilege of powerful people - mostly men - to decide if they allow a pregnancy to continue.
Authoritarianism lives, psychologically, from having the people on top, the ones "worthy" in the eyes of ideology, being able to bend or fully circumvent the rules. Even today, this is clearly visible in how rich people, and even more so rich organisations, are treated differently in front of a court, where proper consequences seem to be an exception instead of the rule. This also shows in more fundamental, everyday mechanics of society, think of how the violence monopoly of the state more often than not rests on the tacit acceptance of excessive police violence. Where often, cops and paramilitaries in police roles within states are developing a self-image and identity, along the lines of "to protect society from itself and its horrendous violence, I must become a violent badass" - consciously or unconsciously enjoying the violence and control they can enact, or turning their heads when their colleagues do it, and reserving for themselves and their in-group the privilege to do so.
So, having someone like Trump, a clear narcissistic rapist, being both openly against abortion rights in his political platform while personally holding the belief of abortions being allowed, is no real contradiction at all. He can rest assured that if in power, he would have the privilege to force both consensual mistresses and victims of his assaults to have abortions anyway.
Exactly, it's not like Trump himself is a fundamental Christian with misguided but deeply held convictions. He is a narcissist that wants adoration, power and to be in a special position where you can dodge consequences.

Ha, if that ain't the truth with me - and people claim you can't diagonse people over the internet from just their comments. Although I guess if I were to use the outdated terms, I'd definitely have both mommy and daddy issues in that case.
I know that there were (are?) browser extensions that fetch and display "karma" on profiles, at the very least on firefox. Might be worth a search for people interested in statistics and numbers going up.
Yeah, that was clearly just the group having fun, sounds like it might have been some kind of in-joke. Stuff like keygen music and adding extra fun stuff to your cracks has always been part of the culture. For the most part, while I'm not saying there is zero risk, but as long as it's from verified groups with good reputation, your pirated software will be safe to use - also part of the culture.
Oh, I just realised (English not being my first language), I meant "just" a psychiatric clinic, not a criminal psych ward, I guess that's the confusion part showing on my end, lol.
Thankfully, no manic phases for me, but I met several people over the course of my life that had them (one woman I had a short relationship with used to tell me about the stuff she ended up doing during manic phases in her past, oh boy, it can get both scary and funny, but always interesting). I can fully believe and understand that he would have been genuinely sorry in that moment and appreciative and glad to have heard that from you. Another patient only hearing half of it makes it quite funny, I wonder what he thought in his head about the context with seeing the other guy go "oh thank god".
You know what makes it even sadder? While propaganda does play a huge part of it, from all that we can gather information-wise, a vast majority is motivated by abject poverty and lack of perspectives in life instead of jingoist enthusiasm.
They have been beaten down and dehumanised by the system first, given a bleak and cynical outlook on life and themselves - and then basically been offered money for suicidal operations, most likely benefitting their relatives unless they manage to "win the lottery" and come back home alive.
There's a very real risk this will become the future of recruitment in Western nations as well, so we really should not turn off our empathy, even though I will never understand how they can charge forward into pants-shitting terror like this, instead of either surrendering or downright fragging their commanders in open mutiny.
