How is it? I’ve been to the Truman one and the Clinton one. It’s interesting to see how they chose to display/address the insanity of the bombing of Hiroshima and the whole impeachment/Monica Lewinsky deal.

When the rain starts to pour!

If you’re googling for something, adjust the date for results to end in 2022. You may miss out on some answers, but it should be relatively ai-free.

I was reading that in the UK this translates to 5 years before being eligible for parole.

Which is still a lot for someone who is used to the lifestyle / comfort that Brand had.

I personally feel like 10 full years in prison isn’t enough, but I’m not a judge. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

But it’s so small …

I think you mean Jesus Dust. Cocaine is what the sinners abuse.

But if those creators enlisted a bunch of other folks to make anime adaptions/extended stories, I bet that would be okay.

Next time (in like 30 years when you finally fill up yiu current can, use the church key method (one medium sized, triangle hole on one side, a smaller on the opposite side) and then after draining/rinsing, use a Dremel to cut a thin slot towards the top.

When you fill that can after 30 years, you just hammer the top down and seal the hole that way.

I loved Spike in both Buffy and Angel. What a delight.

Like this scene where he blacked out all his windows in his car windows so he can drive it the day time.

Wally’s is also really good.

Eeeh, there’s some pretty shitty ones when you get out of cities/coasts.

I got violently ill from their nuts on an 8 hour road trip. Then my wife got equally violently ill when she ate the nuts when we got home (I thought I just had a bug).

Their restrooms are fine, but I won’t go there for anything else.

Yeah, the AP hasn’t called this yet. Talarico may be heavily favored to win, but there’s still a slim chance this doesn’t go his way.

Just hold on until we get some better reporting.

(Also wtf is decision desk hq, and why are they wanting me to pay for “pro”?)

Edit: NBC called it for Talarico as others have mentioned, I’m still waiting for AP, but it’s looking good for Texas! (Also Texas legislative is looking up for grabs too - at least their house).

I hear you, but there’s a material difference between

• if I protest, I could lose my job, family healthcare, and roof over my head
• I don’t want to protest because it’s inconvenient/discomforting.

There’s also a matter of critical mass. We’ve had it drilled in our head that unions are bad precisely to discourage group action. If I protest our use of AI at work, or if I want to raise a complaint against the local government, and I’m alone? That will 100% end with severe personal repercussions. If my team of 5 walk out, that’s harder to fire all of us, but absolutely doable.

If the entire division walks out, then we have some change leverage.

Now scale this out to the ~340M Americans, and you can see the problem.

Also, critical mass affects the area of effect - if utah loses their shit over something, how does that impact New York? Missouri? Answer, not really at all.

So you need something that will get a critical mass of 340M people, across 3.1M sq miles (8M square kilometers). Can that happen? Sure.

Sure it can.

Grief is a ball bouncing around in a box.

Every time it hits the wall of the box is when you feel it the most. At first, the ball barely fits inside, hitting the wall almost every moment of every day, but over time the ball starts to shrink - hitting the sides less and less frequently, but it’s still inside.

Eventually, the ball will only hit the sides a few times a year, maybe less - but the ball never goes away.

I wish I could upvote this more than once. Without social safety nets, the average American cannot do anything to jeopardize their job without losing health benefits or income - and most folks are living paycheck to paycheck.

If mass firings happen, and people realize they will literally be fucked unless they can force the government to listen, then maybe we’ll see wider scale protests.

Here’s the thing - if the stroke doesn’t kill you, you can have a super shitty quality of life afterwards. Entire side of your body is paralyzed and suddenly you can’t drive/walk anywhere without significant assistance (like my gram), or incontinence + mental degradation (like my other grandma).

I don’t know if they keep all of the money. Look at the recent news of ICE paying something like $350M for a private prison that was up for sale for $45M.

They still “paid” asking, they just added in nearly $300M extra.

If you know anything, it’s probably Thrift Shop.

Probably soliciting “donations” from people and companies with business before this administration.
