winner-take-all

The type of system used in the electoral college in all states except for Maine and Nebraska. Instead of the winner-take-all system, Maine and Nebraska have split electoral votes. The battleground districts are Maine's 2nd Congressional District (ME-2) and Nebraska's 2nd Congressional District (NE-2). Maine is a blue state while Nebraska is a red state. In the electoral college, all 50 states have electoral votes and there are 538 total votes but 270 are needed to win. If a presidential candidate wins the popular vote in one state, that state's electoral votes go to the winner. The losing candidate receives none.
Why is the electoral college a winner-take-all system even though there are faithless electors?

A sick thing to take pleasure in

Yeah, ok, so you are watching. Great. That isn't what I said. That isn't how I felt about it fuck-face.
Hym "I mean according to swole neurologist it's not a sick thing to take pleasure in about a wildly traumatic childhood even with a stress response 10 times higher than that of someone who was actually involved you shit. Did you talk to you Q-Anon friends and family? Did you apologize for being a smug neurotic shit? No?"

Means to go for the ogre hunt.
Sometimes misinterpreted as courage, "to take the torches and the pitchforks" is not an act of heroism, nor bravery.
It's rather an act of desperation with the only motivation being to engage sexual activity with a very ugly individual, that would often be confused with an ogre.
Kevin: What happened to Brad at the party last night?
Martin: After 2 am he lost his standards and took the torches and the pitchforks
Kevin: damn man I would never do that (crosses his index and middle-finger behind the back)
Martin: I know! That Katia was a real Ogre!

Take à Napoléon

Means taking a loooong deep nap with your stomach full.

“I took a nap!” The other person replies: “Same schedule took à Napoléon too…”
Take à Napoléon… This person took a loooong deep nap with a happy stomach! With explaines why it isn’t just a nap but a more historical conquest, that needs a famous name like Napoleon.
