Freedom of movement is freedom of movement between States.
It has nothing to do with walking in the middle of the road.

I got it. We keep exactly the same system, except every time someone amasses a net worth exceeding say, 100 million dollars, we drag them behind a truck in front of everyone who considers themselves “upper” middle class. Every year we pick someone at random who’s worth at last 50 million and do the same thing.
You know, like The Lottery, but all you have to do to avoid it is not hoard wealth.


Ethiopia managed to keep the British out with something very similar.
There was a bit of a snafu, and the British sent soldiers to accompany a diplomatic envoy.
The Ethiopians made a big show of marching soldiers around the British while the diplomats negotiated.
The message was clear “we are not interested in violence, we will however use it.”
The British left. They managed to keep the Italians out by kicking their ass. Repeatedly.
Non violent protest can work, if the implicit message is that “We will resort to violence if we need to. We are doing you a favor by being peaceful, do not mistake our kindness for submission.”
I don’t even have to click the link.
That is one of the most disgusting Beard videos I have seen. That one and the ramen he did recently.


They are, and you should.
Most States are single party consent for recording. That means if anyone on the call wants to record the call, they can. So you don’t even need to ask.
A few States require everyone to consent to the recording. If everyone does, anyone can.

The overall plot, there is a worm in your head and you need to stop the BBEG from invading the city and killing everyone doesn’t change, no.
The stories with the individual characters change dramatically based on your choices. That’s the main reason I kept playing through it. Needed to see what happens if I let Gail have the crown, needed to see if I could save Karlach. Wanted to let Lae’zel take the lead and see what happens. What if I’m the dark urge but don’t want to be? Lots of different small stories.
“These two columns… I see what you’re doing here, I’ll just continue that formula down ok?”
Great! How about this table? Can we copy this bit here and move it to-
“Your honor I have never seen this man in my life, I don’t speak English, and I think he’s threatening me.”


Hey there sparky, you’re not supposed to put the live wires in your mouth.


Cost of living is a big factor here. 100k in NYC is comparable to 50k in the Midwest. Stepping outside in NYC feels like it costs 100 dollars every time you do it.


I have played it so much honor mode is almost trivially easy. Well, after act 1 anyway. Ragzlin has ended more than one run. Usually because I used the horn and those fucking ogres draw the entire place in to a fight.


So, steal it, if you don’t get hooked, that’s cool. If you do, you should pay for it. It’s genuinely great.
An economist is at a baseball game when he sees a man outraged that a hotdog costs twelve dollars, and a beer costs 20. “I just wanted to have a fun day with my family, but tickets are suddenly 100 dollars! Now this?!”
What an idiot, the economist thinks. Can’t he see the revenue he’s generating?? The economist pays 64 dollars for two hotdogs and two beers, which he immediately drops on the ground, which makes him very happy.


Because the way they operate requires a target at all times. They cannot have a moment where someone isn’t in the crosshairs. Not one. Always be on the attack and you’ll never be on the defensive. So naturally, this requires that they are always looking for a new target. In case their current target becomes less favorable to target for any reason.


Democratic candidates will campaign on retaking both houses and then promise to work across the aisle for common sense tax reform.


You think the guys making the yachts are making a million dollars a year?


Sure, and that’s demonstrated pretty well elsewhere here in Australia.
But that’s reasonably straight for what’s being measured here and not the full breadth of the US. Going from the most extreme points in Maine to California, gives you a distance of 4600 km. Since we’re effectively on a sphere, there’s no particular reason that line needs to follow the latitudinal lines.


Projection doesn’t matter, distance remains consistent even if it appears longer or shorter than it is in reality.
That distance does follow the curve of the Earth. It necessarily must. Driving from Jacksonville to LA does not tunnel 3 miles beneath the surface of it earth.
It only matters if you plan on taking that person to court in their state.
