Yup. It was designed as a troll to get sword geeks to comment about the inconsistency and then call them out on it.

Of course he is, and just like Palpatine, he will attempt to create laws and organizations that benefit himself. Especially if he feels he can twist the existing ones to suit this purpose.

I’m not deluded or ignorant, I’m well aware such a thing wouldn’t stop the dictatorial asshat. I’m only pointing out that from a legal perspective, this wouldn’t be an “official and legal” order. Such a thing can already be said of many of the Executive Orders that have been proclaimed and signed. It’s a technicality, I know, but I’m just trying to point out another instance of the law being twisted and ignored rather then upheld.

Official = legal in this context, so if he where to try and declare war without Congress approving, it would not be an official act.

Debt

Yeah, if I recall the change was because so many people took them to arbitration at the same time that the cost wasn’t worth it, so they changed the policy to ‘local court’ to avoid the situation repeating while also sidestepping any large class action attempts.

I already communicate without speech, I’m doing it right now to someone I’ve never met and don’t know the identity of, who is receiving only the thoughts I wish to share. Why would I go beyond that?

Besides, I can also share thoughts with those I do know without speech. I text my wife when I don’t want the kids to hear our joke, I can even include pictures to get the message across if I don’t have the words.

The struggle is real though.

Get locks on your doors.

I always was explicit about this. When people would ask me if I could keep a secret, my response was “Of course, I’ll forget what it is within 2 days anyway.”

Gooooood Morning Night City!

For that price I can get 3-4 Ender-3s and the same number of Raspberry Pi and make my own smart printers .

I love it! Predict that a large empire of equals will fall after 250 years.

Market myself as a powerful man of religion and/or magician, depending on the local vibe. Then use knowledge of science and tech to build myself a reclusive retreat where I can have regular baths and write books with predictions to mess with the world 650 years after I would die.

Wholesome, and I love it

Sounds like someone thinks there is only one choice, buy or don’t.

Quick summary here;

Lots of people, mostly under 25 from the looks of them, threw buckets of popcorn all over when the Chicken Jockey appeared. The movie was paused by the theater and identified offenders where escorted out.

Honestly people, just control yourselves. This is a kids movie, for crying out loud. It really screams “look at me, I’m a rebel and cool!” in only the most desperate way. I’m glad none of this happened at my local theater, we all just got to enjoy the film and share a laugh or two.

I have Finch set to auto-update, so I’m not sure if it gives you separate notifications for that.

Finch is pretty close. Free as well. It’s intended to help with self care and mental wellness, could be a good fit for you.

My friends and family are feeling stirs of panic, and it has pushed many of us to start taking a more active role in making our voices heard. Letter campaigns to Congress, joining activist groups and participating in those groups, and a much higher level of alertness towards government action are just a few of the more obvious results and changes I’ve seen.

I fear that it won’t be enough, but with young kids in our household we are trying to do what we can in nonviolent ways. The risk of prison or worse would take a huge toll on the little ones.
