It's worse than that. Some folks actually reject the idea that those poorer than them should have nice things, or even OK things. This is why there are voucher programs, why so much social housing (when it was built) are ugly, plain boxes showcasing the worst of brutalism.
To add some evidence (from a basic internet search, skimmed but not read in detail):

Calling someone a liberal when they are leftist is pretty insulting, even fighting words in some company. Though probably not in the way he intended. Many leftists consider liberals to be at best, placing their personal comfort over the need to take action, and at worst as complicit in and defensive of the structures as any fascist. An 'I cant believe it's not facisim' kind of margarine.
Being called a leftist is only an insult if you base your politics on cruelty and hatred. And for such people the idea that you might think about someone else just doesn't compute.
I'm sorry you are having to go through this, it is hard when we realise that our parents are not good people. Especially if they generally treat you well. And often these are the same people who first taught us the basic principles that matured into leftism. To share. To act kindly and be considerate. To tell the truth. To do what is right, not what everyone else is doing.
I'd like to say here is a step by step guide to help your father, but if there is one I don't know anyone who has seen it.
It's going to depend a lot on the design of the pen. If it has interchangable nibs then yeah, should be able to just get a new feed.
If that isn't an option you might be able to get some milage out of super glue just make sure to not over-apply and to use tweezers or pliers so as to not get finger grease up in there. If you do that you will probably want to stick to water-based inks.
'No one is above the law' is a bold statement for a US attorney. I hope her king didn't hear her say that.
The best ones are when you scroll down the page and the video comes too. I wish suffering on no one but were I to meet that particular 'innovator'.
This is also known as the 'nice' rule.
A lot of the issue with this is that we are talking about a really energy-intensive way of solving this non-problem.
A better way is to train humans to stop falling for the bait. That is also rather hard though but I'm pretty sure you can already get browser plugins that identify click bait headlines and just, hides them.
If we can get the costs to read an summarize an article down (and get an AI that understands things like facts and source quality) then there are a bunch of things it could do for us. Interpreting contracts and TOS bollocks come to mind, but LLMs as we have them today can't do that. They might end up part of the tool chain but they are presently insufficient.
I can't prove it but I am more certain that the first bit of worn armour ever made was to protect some guys dick than I am about gravity.
You know, I needed that.
For honour, for the hive, for things ordinary humans can not understand.
The real sad thing is after stabbing their opponent the winning beekeeper dies anyway.
