I work for my fascist dad repairing giant steampunk machines.

You can just press your finger firmly on your philtrum (the little valley between your nose and lips). Pressure on the nerve that runs there immediately stops the urge to sneeze.

The antichrist is a convenient label he can apply to anyone he perceives as impeding his personal economic growth or power.

Bryan Fuller’s TV opus, primarily Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies, although the first two seasons of Hannibal are really excellent writing and storytelling. All his work deals with death, but each has something slightly different to say about it.

Matrix voice and video chat is sadly under-equipped for the only kind of thing I want (team gaming and screen share). They are working on moving to a new realtime media transport but until it manifests I can’t see it as an alternative. I’ve read about Revolt and some others but I don’t see anything that seems capable. Happy to be corrected on this!

EDIT: it looks like Element Call is more or less ready, might try setting up a server this weekend.

Actually she has a tremendous opportunity to sway a non-trivial number of trump voters against him and his bloc right now. I say let her play, couldn’t possibly hurt the situation now.

If he and the mayor really care, why don’t they use city police to enforce the laws ICE and CBP are violating on a daily basis? They may have federal immunity but they are committing state crimes in broad daylight like it’s going out of style. Arrest some criminals like you’re supposed to. Not an all-out war between police forces, just, you know, regular law enforcement.

Dropped the plot a ways back, too

So add fuel to the fire right?

When you sit down to watch a movie, you know it isn’t real. When you watch media coverage of current events, you should not have to guess if it is or isn’t.

But the problem exists if the average person can’t tell the difference or doesn’t care to verify it. Media literacy is at an all time low, at least in my country (guess). Without regulation, the presence and lack of labeling of AI content on social platforms can only further the decline.

If he gets a permanent secret service detail for life I’m sure he can figure out how to keep his healthcare. I suspect he’ll either get the “Luigi treatment”, or we will watch him dissolve into prion goo over the next 10 years

I have cameras, and I work from home. He literally does not leave a fenced-in rectangle. I know for a fact he doesn’t kill anything.

Yeah I always found the argument absurd as I live on a paved over rectangle with a few square feet of grass my cat likes to poop on while he hangs out with the local squirrels. He is far too lazy to hunt anything, he killed a mouse that was actually inside the house many many years ago but has been a pacifist since. He is 15 he literally wants to sit in the sun and do nothing.

Of course there are some cats who will hunt, and their owners should not allow that. But the blanket statements about environmental impacts, while they cool their house with AC, burn fossil fuels to heat food and go to work, order crap on Amazon…just lacks perspective.

I may be wrong and lack any historical knowledge on the subject, but I think author is sarcastically self-identifying as a tankie?
