Sure but every time you stop they’re going to have a new berry, leaf, or bit of bark for you to taste. (It’s me, I’m the one handing you forest treats)

What is “a phrase you’d see on a Hot Topic tee shirt in 2006”?

A lot of them think it’s cool specifically because it annoys other people. It’s antisocial behavior.

"As voting is compulsory, electors are given a number of ways to cast their vote at an election, including postal voting, pre-poll voting, absent voting, voting at Australian overseas missions and voting at mobile teams at hospitals and nursing homes and in remote localities, as well as ordinary voting at a polling place in their electorate.

Because of the secrecy of the ballot, it is not possible to determine whether a person has completed their ballot paper prior to placing it in the ballot box. It is therefore not possible to determine whether all electors have met their legislated duty to vote. It is, however, possible to determine that an elector has attended a polling place or mobile polling team (or applied for a postal vote, pre-poll vote or absent vote) and been issued with a ballot paper."

If you’re that desperate to prove you’re the purest Anarchist you can just turn in an empty ballot. Or it’s a $20 fine for noncompliance. Or you could, you know, participate in democracy. Authoritarians generally don’t like it when people vote.

but we can’t force people to vote,

We totally could, compulsory voting works i Australia.

Sears was actively hollowed out by vultures, and before that they were slow to modernize.

Seems to me like you’re holding more reverence for the dead than the living.

I’ve got family in Texarkana (both sides of the border!) that definitely did not help and I had kind of sworn off the state altogether but I can reconsider now.

The whole context is 22 words bud, I know you can read that much. I like Community but even as a joke reference it’s a reach.

I’d trust the honor of a slaveowner over the proud cruelty we have now. It’s not like the fascists are less racist.

The grocery store nearest my house (QFC, a slightly nicer Kroger-owned regional chain) has tiny trays for the bagging area. Anything more bulky than a gallon of milk and a bag of apples turns into a weird game of Jenga.

It would be a lot easier to address those flaws in their absence.

Fred Durst is an asshole and genuine moron.

Can’t Hold Us was everywhere for a while too, and he was (unfairly) mocked for Same Love. The dude comes across as corny sometimes but he genuinely stands on business. Hind’s Hall from May 2024 and fucked up in February 2025 are loud and angry and righteous.

The problem is that the side opposing Trump sees the felonies and rape and Epstein stuff. The side supporting him is a religious cult that believes what they’re told to believe. Christian Nationalists are destroying the world.

No it’s a set of fundamental assumptions about the nature of the universe and reality.

This is completely unrelated, but I hope I’m dead before using “compute” as a noun sounds normal to me.

One is a way of thinking, the other is an interpretation of reality.

The “large enough display of civil disobedience” would just be outright civil war. We already know that Republican voters are happy to accept the razing of “Liberal hellholes” (every major city in the country) based on the messaging around Seattle and Portland in 2020.

Technically speaking if enough seats in Congress flipped to Democrats they could push an impeachment and prosecution through but that still hinges on the Executive and Judicial branches cooperating, and then there’s the military to consider. What we really need is a bunch of agricultural states to change so we can make some Constitutional Amendments but they’ve all been gerrymandered to fuck so that’s not a realistic goal either.

What you’re asking for is not trivial. Just for the backlog, assuming a single scant hour per game, is 70 new full-time positions before getting into the organizational and administrative overhead. That’s the absolute bare minimum to load up and investigate a game and categorize it and it only works for things that are clearly defined from the very beginning. Realistically there’s no way they can sift through all the assets and code in that time for, as an example, signs of AI use even if they had full access to the developer’s work files. What you’re asking for is more like a full week audit on average.
