I didn't realize how big of a solar state we were until I drove out through west Texas. At one point the rolling planes turn blue and you stop and realize it's solar panel farms for miles.
So ACAB as ever, but this feels staged as fuck. Like old lady, idly fumbling with phone and stuff, gets knocked down and needs 3 men to come and help her off the ground?
Looks like they had been trying to move the group along and she was like a child who didnt want to get out of the pool at adult break.
That was my experience too. At first I was kind of disappointed I didn't get the funny drugs but a double extraction took literally ~10 min, and I drove myself home right after.
Everyone I know who went full sedation it would be like a 3-5 hour experience before you come to. Alot of hassle

The joint pain is definitely inflammation during cabin pressurization, but if it is severe enough it could also impact the brains circulation and lead to an aneurysm.
Do it. Dad used to have essentially a replica of Neil Pearts setup, while cool as he'll to look at, it's a pain in the ass to maintain and it annoys the shit out of anyone nearby.
Once he made the switch 10 years ago to a Roland mesh E Kit, the entire houses demeanor relaxed. Plus it doesn't take up an entire room, and you can swap sounds on the fly.
Real kits are nice for live or jamming out sometimes, but you'll get infinite more use out of the Ekit
Worked for a company that was entirely JWs, some of the most genuinely nice people I ever met, but knowing the whole process behind the scenes and how constrictive the lifestyle is, it was always off putting.
I was never witnessed to other than just general inquiry to get to know me in passing by coworkers. But their doctrine basically states that if I'm not a JW, I'm a non-person. I don't know how many of them believe it, but still.
They all have designated zones to do their "service" so if you refuse they'll still come back because they believe their ticket into heaven is to convince you what they say is true.
If anyone else who reads this ever has problems with them coming to their door, best way to get them to take you off their list is say "I've already been excommunicated from another kingdom hall in (insert town from 2hr+ away)"
To be fair if you've seen a charger and a challenger before, you'd be able to tell pretty quick. My brain interprets it is charger built like matchbox; challenger like hot wheels.
Side thought, all I can think of now is developing the technology to accelerate the rotation of some of these ITN "slingshot" planets to speeds where they become giant versions of those hotwheels motorized launcher tracks.
The original person's comment made sense up until about the 2010s if it was referring to 'smartphones'. Smartphones are extremely accessible to someone who is destitute today comparative to 15 years ago.
Most phone providers in the US at least, have programs where when you register a single line, you usually get either a basic "razor-esque" smartphone, or in some cases even the newest apple or Samsung line, because it costs them pennies to provide, but they profit off the recurring contract income.
Back in 2008, the only way you were getting the newest smartphone was if you had $500-1k in disposable income. But cell phones in general have been an inexpensive commodity since at least 2000.
It's true that in the situation and country, this is equivalent to someone fleeing a traffic stop when they remember they have warrants. Authority figure gonna do what they're enlisted to do, because it's their perogative and their "duty" (and I mean duty in the sense of being bound to their personal theology)
But yet, would either of those situations would cause said authority to use deadly force? Of course not.
Iran is a back asswards country. The US is shit in its own ways as well, I won't refute, it's a mess. But Iran has to literally be babysat by larger economic powers around the clock to keep them from cooking up doomsday doodads.
Getting this bent out of shape over women wanted to drive, get a proper education, vote, or fucking not wearing a piece of cloth, just furthers the sentiment that somewhere along the male Iranian genealogy some chromosomes got lost.
(Side note, I don't reread these so I apologize if anything sounds purposefully directed at specific groups. I harbor no hate towards the Iranian peoples, all hate is meant to be interpreted to whatever zealots churn up all this religious hoo-hah)
Nah just a 10 mile long pole, strong enough to break through planetary geological plates in a straight on blow, thrown really really really fast from earth.
Is everyone forgetting she led the charge toward the enshittification of YouTube? Like when she stepped down 2 years ago the general concensus was "Thank God shes gone"?
