I hope that is the initial prompt. If I have learned anything from schlocky mad scientist movies “I am your Creator! You must Obey me!” will never work, and your creation will kill you dramatically.

Now freeze the editor’s paycheck - no editor worth that much should be misspelling ‘suspicious’ in a headline.

Getting a taste of his own medicine is he?

Ah well, maybe he’ll learn someth… lol

I couldn’t even finish the thought without laughing.

I’d like to caution against percieving the grass as being greener.

The US is being a shitbird, but do not let that cloud criticism of other countries- their governments are (usually) rarely better.

And nobody treats turncoats particularly well, especially if they don’t offer concrete and immediate value beyond ‘hostage’.

Far better to agitate where you’re at- help your neighbors where and how you can and demonstrate how they’re being lied to.

You’ve got it reversed, I think. Our friend Don there is talking about people who want to broadcast their musical tastes to everyone else on the bus.

“Tax or trebuchet, I’m ok with either way”

It says the same thing but has good meter and rhymes. Great for chanting.

So, let’s get this straight.

Protestors make noise and cause a ruckus to draw attention to any number of social issues they feel need addressed. If they’re successful, laws/perceptions change to more closely reflect their ideal.

Professional protestors are those that get paid to do that.

Ergo, politicians are the “paid protestors”, and the people you are avoiding are just garden-variety protestors.

I support the action and thoughts, but doesn’t this play into the jingoism already on display and abate any further cultural interaction?

I want there to be a way to hurt the administration while opening the eyes of the decieved population.

How do I find out these lawyers? 'Cause I’m sure as shit not hiring them.

Good use of editorial passivity. Ceasefire just “ended”, it wasn’t broken.

That would explain the absolute brain-dead takes he presents - beyond ~1 ft, the air exchange in snorkels doesn’t work right and you end up breathing less oxygen.

Lemme get this straight: you say the Democratic party’s policy of espousing a conservative approach on the issues of the day (immigration needs controlling, trans kids bad, Israel a-ok, etc) to peel voters from the Republican party was not only a good plan, but the only course of action they could reasonably take to win the election?

Pissin’ in the wind

“We could give out sledgehammers, let people smash the car, and film it for Instagram,” Wilson writes. “It may go viral.”

Reminds me of the '70s enery crisis when automakers would present a Japanese import car for union workers (and really anyone) to take a turn at smashing.

too goddamn stupid to deserve the responsibility of voting.

By this reasoning, they did the responsible thing and stayed home, where they weren’t hurting anyone with their vote.

It’s at the very awkward crossing of cozy fishing sim and cosmic horror. It’s not super good at either but is not bad, if you know what you’re getting into.

I thought that was Finnish M05, but it turns out that they were independently developed.

Who could have forseen that two subarctic nations have similar snow camouflage requirements.

Yeah, it is a dumping ground, but the concern here is the unintended release of radioactive materials into the surrounding environments.

Florida being a huge, saltwater-accessible, hurricane prone wetland means that not only will containment be nigh impossible, but that it would readily leach into the watershed and fuck up the everglades and other ecosystems in the area.

And apparently there are innocent people or whatever nearby.

Isn’t it still a pump’n’dump? As the Big Cheese, the man can just keep repeating the cycle as long as it suits him.

Do we have any fun infographics to help educate those that aren’t autodidacts?
