I've seen some different sizes of fidget spinners, but no way is anyone that small lol
Some how, people don't know this - the courts CAN enforce the law.
They don't even need executive law enforcement to do it. That is the worst most depressing part about all of this. Hell, the supreme court has its own marshalls completely independent of the US Marshalls.
The courts can deputize their own Marshalls as they need. They have this power on purpose. Neglecting to use that power means they are complicit. And that is far scarier to me.
I don't think it would just be DC. The people on the East Coast would probably handle that quicker than everyone west of the Mississippi River could get there.
But if either of these two get taken down, any buildings that house Republican HQs or conservative groups are going to have a sudden increase in insurance prices.
That's an awesome idea.
My 8 year old recently got me back into Lego.
So much so I imported a set i wanted since I was 5, and built that Dune Ornithopter. I need more room to display some of this
They should use like air tags or something.
Or better yet, just really bright IR beacons. Especially at night. Then they won't lose them at all.
Mario Savio was speaking on terms of labor, but his "Bodies upon the gears speech" is extremely relevant, particularly the end.
There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels ... upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!
We have 5m people connected through protest. Arresting and deporting legal migrants is kiddnapping. Witholding international passports is violence. Skipping due process, kidnapping, and illegally imprisoning a US citizen, then refusing to fix it, is violence.
I physically cannot fight. I pass out simply standing or walking too long. Of course I have a kid to protect too. There are plenty of people who have little to no benefit to an armed resistance in force.
But we all have a part to play. They are not fighting fair, and nor should we. History has shown that guerilla resistance is absurdly effective against government lower. Ukraine. Syria. Iraq. Afghanistan, Vietnam.
Fascists are idiots, and inefficient. They are focused on the in group so much they make themselves vulnerable. We have technology that hasnt existed before. Chemists, 3d printers. Open Source software. It doesn't have to be guns blazing and explosives.
Y'all hear about business cycles? It's this weird phenomenon that occurs throughout history what is largly ignored, yea quite obvious. From 1817:
... Report to the Committee of the Association for the Relief of the Manufacturing Poor, both identified the cause of economic cycles as overproduction and underconsumption, caused in particular by wealth inequality.
In the early 1900's:
economist Joseph Schumpeter argued that a Juglar cycle has four stages: Expansion (increase in production and prices, low interest rates) Crisis (stock exchanges crash and multiple bankruptcies of firms occur) Recession (drops in prices and in output, high interest-rates). Recovery (stocks recover because of the fall in prices and incomes)
Arguably, the policies enacted by Nixon and Regard were instrumental in delaying and magnifying the current business cycle.
All y'all acting like anyone can just go to a hotel bar and gift someone to escort you to bed.
Actually I don't know that in the slightest, I've always figured if I ever pay for sex I'll get arrested and lose my kid or get robbed
Large crowds are awesome because if you kill one person in the crowd
The murderer is judged by a jury of his peers and sentenced then and there.
TBH they'll all die of cancer before they ever finish that base.
Oh I got one of those too i need the thing that gets me out of the house. Like a thing that makes me leave the house to go do
Ok, I'm calling shenanigans! Shenanigans!
This is clearly a simulation let me out!
The thing that gets people to get out of the house and do things with other people.
Not like a vehicle, or transportation but the other thing
Exsanguination itself? No - it starves your brain of oxygen so you fall unconscious pretty quickly with enough flow.
Getting enough flow to lose consciousness quicky? That's painful.
I'm just gonna say it
Humans have a weird system for propagating the species.
I still don't understand how they are doing it.
At no point in history could you go to the woman dealership and buy a woman. You could maybe pay for a little time with a woman, or buy a slave at a slave auction. You could negotiate with a woman's father some exchange for his daughter. But that exchange usually had to have something of value, and it also meant you lived beyond the age of 30.
Like I get that younger people are dumb, and being a man, I can attest that men are particularly dumb, but how fucking whacked are these men thinking they will somehow benefit from this?
Cookie clicker didn't have much in terms of managing the automations - just adding more and upgrading them.
Man it's a shit move to steal cultural artifacts from other nations, but it takes a special kind of shit person to to steal cultural artifacts from your own nation.
But the Nazis didn't actually have anywhere they thought they could go.
If these Nazis actually think they can get to Mars and start over, I'm all for it. They can take as many supplies as they want too, no questions asked. I wish Musk and the Nazis with him the best.
I don't know what they expect when they get there, let alone how they expect to survive getting there, but that's not my problem.
