SPRUNT

Frank's Red Hot and bananas.

F. R. H. is not good in coffee.

It costs way more than $5k to birth and raise a child. This is only going to be incentive for the exceptionally poor and extremely stupid, which is likely to be the point because those people and their children are what continues to feed our exploitation model.

The lady's eyes were under their skirts in Victorian times?

Being anywhere in Trump's orbit speeds up your trajectory towards death like Matt Damon in Saving Private Ryan. Donald Trump is, essentially, a biological version of "The Machine" from The Princess Bride pushed to 50.

Since the pope was only secondarily contaminated, the process was slower, but he was already so close to death as it is.

Saw a couple of these at an event I went to years ago. The people who tried it were saying that it's an exhausting arm, leg, and core workout after just a few minutes.

They aren't disruptive yet. I assume the plan is to start without disruption as a way to amass numbers, gain support, and show how widespread the opposition is. As time goes on, the protests will move away from the weekends, which will automatically make them more disruptive.

I think when the actual disruption starts is when the likelihood of push back, and them no longer being peaceful, increases. And, as you said above, peaceful is good.

Not to mention the drastic drop in tourism. There's so much more room for activities now!

In a way, it's good that the protests aren't getting a whole lot of coverage. That means that they are peaceful enough that they're boring. That's what we want: PEACEFUL disruption.

Pretty sure the protests will start getting more attention when the administration starts firing tear gas and rubber bullets into the crowds when their bad-actor plants start causing issues.

You see, the Earth is like an ogre....

I think you and u/deur are talking about 2 different levels of control, similar to the difference between weather and climate.

I control when I get up in the morning, I control what job I sell out or stay at, etc., etc. But I have no control over the wildfire/tornado/hurricane/flood/landslide that takes out my house. I don't have control over the mass shooter/suicide bomber/terrorist attack that takes me out. I don't have control over a government insistent on destroying foreign relations and weakening the spending power of my dollar.

Individuals have control on a micro scale. The larger the scale gets, the less control one has. The only real control we have is how we react to the world around us.
