I've only been lectured on the Pledge, etc, by family members of veterans. All the veterans I know are fully aware that the United States is a pyramid scheme and its wars are blood money for oil.

That leads straight to open conflict and a reorganization of the status quo though. Some people really like the status quo even if it means keeping the human meat grinder turned on.

Idk about Endeavour but I use Duplicity and don't currently regret it.

Japanese do this too especially in pottery, it seems like a very old form of artisanry

Also a linguist would of course dedicate a chapter to the pure joy of rhymes, verses, and words that feel fun to say

But Trump himself hasn't done too much awful stuff: it's his insane followers who have killed people and tried to overthrow the government, he just rides those waves. Could you imagine what DeSantis could do to rile up actual fascism if America executed Trump for treason? Never givea heavily armed fascist 40% of a country a martyr.

Maybe that's why they haven't cracked down on him. Justice is about accountability and preventing future harm, it's not supposed to be purely punitive or retaliatory, and if he exiled himself and was convicted in absentia that would take care of a lot of issues vs the hazard of him being a "political prisoner" for years on end.

Many coup and counter-coup leaders in history end up in exile as a bargain: don't try to retake the throne and bring more pain to our people and we won't seek vengeance.

No, Linux and Mac can open ZIP as easily as anything besides TGZ.

They also let you just fill in whatever for height and weight, I'm surprised they even care about gender and age

And that's not really "de" it's just stopping where you're comfortable at. Which is exactly what everyone should be doing anyway. "De" implies feeling like you completely made a mistake and want to undo what was done, simply stopping hormones doesn't necessarily accomplish that and non-binary is a totally valid identity

America still exists and writes its own history books, so (remember, good means us, not objectively more moral)

 

Matthew Bergman, founding attorney of the Social Media Victims Law Center, said in a statement that Gendron “was motivated to commit his heinous crime by racist, antisemitic, and white supremacist propaganda fed to him by social media companies.”

“These posts led him down a rabbit hole of increasingly radical sites, where he was indoctrinated in white supremacist replacement theory and violent accelerationism,” Bergman added. “This horrible crime was neither an accident nor coincidence, but rather the foreseeable result of social media companies’ intentional decision to maximize user engagement over public safety.”

 

One transgender woman, Sheena, left Florida to move to Minnesota. Florida has recently passed extremely harsh legislation targeting the transgender community, and Sheena cited this legislation in her decision to move with her partner, stating that she “had to leave Florida within one month [of the transgender medical ban on adults] to avoid having my care halted.”
