A quick definition of responsible:

Term: Responsible

Definition: Being responsible means that you are in charge of doing something and you will be held accountable for it. This can mean that you caused harm to someone and are responsible for fixing it, or that you promised to do something and are responsible for keeping that promise. It can also mean that a group or organization is responsible to the people who gave them power. In simpler terms, being responsible means that you have a job to do and you need to make sure you do it right.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A person or entity that is accountable for fulfilling a duty or obligation is considered responsible. This can refer to:

  • Tort law: A party who caused harm or injury and is therefore liable for the damages.
  • Contract law: A party who is contractually obligated to perform a duty, such as paying for goods or services, completing an action, or repaying a debt.
  • Administrative agencies: An agency that is responsible to the body that granted it power, typically Congress.
  • Agency law: An agent who has a duty to act in the best interest of their principal, making the agency responsible to the principal.

For example, if a driver causes a car accident, they are responsible for any injuries or damages that result. In a contract between a customer and a business, the business is responsible for delivering the product or service as agreed upon. An administrative agency, such as the Environmental Protection Agency, is responsible for enforcing laws related to environmental protection. In an agency relationship, a real estate agent is responsible for acting in the best interest of their client, the homebuyer or seller.

Ahh well what you are telling me makes sense and it's not like something that's being blown out of proportion. I will have to consider this new information. You made a persuasvie argument today.
supreme court overrules korematsu but in trump v hawaii justice sotomeyer wrote in the dissent that the majority essentially reinforced the legal foundation for exclusionary acts. while i doubt under current circumstances something as bad as concentration camps could happen there is a legal framework and a fomenting political anger in the right that genuinely makes me fearful for any minority groups. we might not see concentration camps but we very well could see targeted legislation. i think even reductions in gender affirming care qualify and despite the harm they cause are not even the worse legislation i could reasonably see being passed
18:37
I agree, the possibility is indeed there. I just see no indication of it happening.
18:40
Man, so do you guys think if Trump gets back in office he is going to halt gender affirming surgery in the military again?
18:42
i believe so. he did it once, he could do it again
18:42
i feel like his takes on trans people have only gotten worse since 2017
18:42
Yeah, seems obvious to me. That may be true. He's kinda angry rn cus of the whole prosecution thing.

My OU status went to accepted today but no call/email. Is that normal?
StandingOnBusiness
23:57
From what I hear, that's what happened to most who were admitted today.
StandingOnBusiness
23:58
They typically like to call to tell someone they were admitted but maybe they didn't for whatever reason?
