Some of this is the reason why your teleporter has an operator and isn't automated. The teleporter knows you're wearing shoes or skis because the operator has specified your parameters. The computer might not know where shoes end and floor begins but O'Brien does.

I only realized after I finished the series and reflected on it, that one of the reasons I enjoyed The Expanse so much because I was enjoying the complex and intricate politics between sensible actors with different motivations. It helped me cope with the real world's politics being full of sadistic fools.

I haven't seen the TV show so I don't know where it leaves off, but if you haven't read the books, the last 2 books into the ending was a hell of a crazy ride. And it wraps up with a conclusion that I didn't foresee as possible. I highly recommend the books.

Have you seen the list of registered republican sex offenders?

This person has made it their project to catalogue as many examples as they could find over the last 6 years. It has grown significantly since I saw it last. I hope you have a few hours available if you expect to read all this, and some anti nausea medication wouldn't hurt.

Rest assured that Trump has absolutely no shortage of choices whatsoever.

Persist harder.

"No, we have Sean Bean at home."

Sean Bean at home:

Eh, Trump wouldn't care if Elmo was banging his wife. Russia aired her nudes on the evening news channel recently and exactly nothing happened, Trump loves when the general public has sexual interactions with his wife.

Ivanka, however....

Thanks Obama!

Man, I managed to completely forget about that. My dad was really, really into that game. Like, that's about all he did for most of 4 years and ended up leaving my mom for someone he met in game.

I guess SL wasn't really any worse about that than any other game, plenty of people meet and get married in MMOs, but I think the raging custom-content sex parties in SL probably didn't help matters at the time.

Wonder how that game is doing these days. Cursory web search says it's still alive. I probably would have found it to be pretty interesting if I wasn't so turned away from it by my family experience.

This isn't about needing clarification though. Like you said, clarification is not necessary. This move is about being able to wave this amendment around in front of everyone, and publicly force Republicans to agree on its meaning, ahead of Trump ignoring it.

I don't see this as being completely a bad move but I am not a legal expert. I also won't call it a good move, but it will force the hand of the Republicans who wish to ignore this law into publicly stating as much. This would have been a lot more effective earlier though I think.

I use my local library from my phone with the Libby app. I don't know if this benefits them as much as going there in person does. I did go there to get a library card though, you need one to sign up in the app.

But they have a great catalog of ebooks that I can borrow from, I've read the bulk of The Dresden Files that way recently and I'm about to finish it if the last two books ever come off reservation.

Maybe silicone would be a good material for this?

The Last Podcast On The Left is the true crime podcast that got me listening to podcasts in general. They've got like 10 years worth of backlog and they're still going strong, I love those boys. Hail yourselves!

This explains a lot about Elden Ring, and I wish it didn't.

W-we gotta get out of here Morty! Everything here is on a fucking cob!

Yeah but to be fair I also saw three different news stories from different states about magats setting fire to ballot boxes this year. Imagine what else isn't getting reported on.

That's not crazy at all, in fact I'm surprised it's only 40% considering conservative leaders have gutted, stripped and replaced everything the school stands for as well as rocketing down the school ranking lists because of it. I'd be more concerned about the 60% of faculty that remain, personally.

They'll certainly try, but you know as well as I do how friendly the gov is going to be towards that.

I don't know about the rest of them, but Ben Franklin sure envisioned some orgies. Attended a few of 'em too.

Most other countries won't accept American refugees without qualifications that most of us don't have. So a lot of us are going to be stuck here, for better or worse.
