I thought CA got rid of Jay walking bullshit in 2023.

Because no one wants to be the first to start a revolution. No one wants to be a martyr to get the cause going. No one is desperate enough yet to put their life and freedom on the line.

Should add the poor man’s James bond. The anarchist cookbook. The army survival manual. There is an old army improvised munitions manual.

There are lots of fun reads that should probably be held onto.

I didn’t know they did this. Where can I learn more?

What the fuck, Bahamas? Life imprisonment?

Will already told you that wasn’t something he was interested in. Janet showed mild interest. She’d be up for it. But it wasn’t something that’s a priority for her.

So when you sent over the events and she talked to her husband about it. He could have easily expressed that he wasn’t comfortable with his wife walking around naked or having her walk around with other naked people. She doesn’t care about doing it enough that it’s worth making her husband uncomfortable.

It’s not about him telling her she can’t. It’s about each of them respecting each other enough not to do things that make each other uncomfortable. They are mature enough to have a conversation about things, express their emotions to each other, and value each other’s feelings.

“Patriotism is in decline” so instead of addressing the root of the issue and stop moving the country to the fascist right let’s indoctrinate the kids. Maybe we can have an executive order to help do that. And call it the “stop indoctrinating our kids” or something like that. It’s not like anyone will see the irony of naming it literally the exact opposite of what it’s doing.

Fuck this dystopic administration.

Maybe someday I’ll be a millionaire. Hopefully it won’t be at the same time a loaf of bread is $100 and a million dollars is poverty.

Except XX and XY aren’t the only combinations. There is just a single X, XXX. XXY, and XXY.

And then there are just plain intersex individuals who produce both or neither reproductive cells. Chromosomes may not express themselves properly.

Biology isn’t as simple and clear cut as you make it out to be.

And the only reason they used “at conception” is to signal that life begins at conception for the abortion argument. The executive order doesn’t actually have anything to do anything with science, it only tries to use it as an excuse for their anti-trans beliefs.

Let’s not forget XXY and intersex individuals. Lots of chromosomal disorders could make this even trickier.

It’s actually title is District Attorney. But I court it’s the prosecutor and the defendant.

That’s how it’s supposed to work here. But the position can be political where the DA is elected and to appear “tough on crime” they prosecute even when they should throw out cases.

Most cases don’t even get to a court though. The majority get some sort of plea deal. The whole process is so fucked up, that a non-insignificant number confess even though they are innocent to just be done with the whole ordeal. Defending yourself can bankrupt someone and ruin their mental health.

Our system is rife with corruption and, IMHO it should be a lot harder for police and district attorneys to ruin someone’s life.

Me too.

Police aren’t prosecutors in the US. But they work closely with the district attorneys who do prosecute. As in they provide the evidence to them and provide their recount of the situation and circumstances to the prosecutor and if it goes to trial can be called to testify against you.

Additionally, many police programs incentivize or measure an officers efficiency based on the number of arrests or tickets they produce.

Often since the prosecutors and police work towards the same goal of securing a conviction, we lump them together even though they are different agencies.

He is saying being fluent and able to understand it too. So never stops means he can’t ever forget a language, as I’m interpreting it.

How crazy of a healing factor are we talking about. Broken bones healed in a day? Or healing from a gunshot to the brain?

Having a healing power that would let me lose an arm or a lung and regrow it would be awesome. But regrowing a brain would be problematic.

Does healing include not aging? Or the tearing and rebuilding of muscles? It would be wild to have a healing factor that allows you to essentially body build in a single day.

I think defining luck could be weird. Is it lucky to not die when I want to? Or lucky to do so in a more humane, less painful or instantaneous way?

I have lots of ad blockers. But my father watches YouTube on the LG TV app. I don’t live there anymore and hearing the ads from the other room became offensive to the family.

It was easier to just buy a premium family plan and call it a day.

I gave that hope up years ago.

He backed himself into a corner and doesn’t want to admit that he can’t fit it all into a final book and/or just doesn’t enjoy writing that world or story anymore.

It would be nice if he released an outline or draft. He probably could have milked that since I know I’d have bought both a draft and the final book whenever he finished it.

I mean… If I could afford a riding lawnmower that would be me. I want to at some point find a broken washer to rip the drum out of. They make good fire pits for really big fires.
