The Democrats have a long history of waiting until Republicans hold a majority in both houses to propose milquetoast change.

Keeps their name in the papers without actually having to do anything.

Powerful men protecting themselves with idiots has never once lead to an assassination. NEVER. not once. Nope no sir. Hasn't happened

One of my call center buddies was in charge of receiving requests for freight transport and asking his NCO to approve them. His NCO say directly behind him. So he'd stare at a computer screen until a request came in, turn around, ask for approval which would be framed, then turn back around and click the approve button.

"you agreed to display ads on your vehicles. This vehicle is mine. You may not display ads in it."

Honestly I'd have a lawyer on the phone in a heartbeat. I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already started a lawsuit.

When it's actual news, I'll hear about it regardless.

I'm not going to perseverate over every headline, I have a life to live. The media is actively trying to piss us off, they'll skew and distort and all but fabricate to keep us angry and engaged.

I'm not doing it. I can't recall a single time in my life that keeping up to date up to the hour has actually improved anything for me. Sitting around just knowing stuff is happening isn't going to change my life for the better.

I live in a safe republican state and a leans Republican district. I could send a letter to my senator, call my representative, spend hours of my time just worried about something, and still, they'll vote how the party wants them to. Being informed and doing the things I'm supposed to do won't change anything.

Does that not create a case for a prejudicial jury?

 
 
 
 
 
 

This is an abrasive disk, rotating at 1500 rpm. When I shine my flashlight at it, it carries the glow with it, approximately halfway around the disk. What am I seeing happen here?

 

But they sent my area to a different building.

I'm at a place I don't know, surrounded by people I've never met, and as it happens food I can't eat.

I'm not allowed to leave.

I'm supposed to feel appreciated.

 

It's the holidays, at my job I will be attending at a minimum 3 holiday meals on different days. They send around these little slips and we all vote on what to have.

There's never anything available that I'll actually be able to eat.

My diet, while not strictly keto, is at my doctor's recommendation. I've successfully eliminated any danger I faced due to rising blood sugar, and the jury is still out on carbs re-entering my diet in any significant capacity.

I am fully aware of how difficult it can be to prepare food without carbs. Especially to someone who's never done it.

At every opportunity I make it clear that I am perfectly happy, and I'm fact would prefer to simply feed myself. I get that they're trying to show appreciation, but I would appreciate knowing exactly what's in my food, rather than having to trust that everyone in the chain of people involved getting me a low carb meal knew exactly what that meant.

I like my meals, I like how healthy I have become. I honestly have never really enjoyed the food they get anyway. Just let me do my thing goddamnit

 
 

Anakin has a clear motive, and a logical progression from naive to evil.

Danny just decides to lose her shit one day.

 

I'm 75% of the way through the last book in the series. I've read all of the novellas. What would you recommend next?

Three only other series I can think of that's similar is the Three Body series from Cixin Liu.
