Yes and Geordi and Scotty are terrible engineers. Jake Peralta is a bad detective. Leslie Knope is a bad civil servant.

I’d put $100 on the table to say there is a least one more archeologist in the world because of those games. One who was trained to do it right, and preserved a ton of valuable cultural artifacts. Inspired by games and media.

Also, let people enjoy things.

I’ll add one more: I don’t think he’s that smart to make a purposeful move like that.

I first took that oath 20 years ago. If orange idiot refuses to leave, I will be exercising my constitutional legal actions.

My - now daily - calls to my senators and rep now sound a lot like this:

Did the congress(man) hold up a sad little sign? Like am edge lord middle schooler? Because they need to get off their ass and be more like representative Al Green. Stop normalizing Trump’s BS OR acting civilized. Resist. Do fucking something.

Fellow NJ-ian here. I have definitely driven on frozen lakes when I was a stupid teenager. TBH they were more like tiny ponds though.

I run WP on a dreamhost account. I do it costing zero dollars and am an amateur (haven’t really coded in 20+ years). I do it for my kid’s parent teacher org. There is some value in DIY/cheap.

Every once in a while I go looking for FOSS alternates to WordPress . . .can’t find one. Ghost is the closest I got and it’s nowhere near the same.

I really enjoy the ::woosh:: in the comments over the symbolism.

Guys have you not tried pegging? Highly recommend.

I was gonna ask if Josh Lyman has a new job?

Task failed successfully.

Noted liar lies. News at 11.

“We’re going to have some fun too.” GET IT K-DOG.

For an Internet discussion, I really appreciate your open and honest exchange. Good day fellow Internet person.

Ok next question, because I think I interpreted the term differently than you did.

There are two types of term limits right? Quantity of terms, and length of terms.

Status quo: Q - one term, L - for life.

Wouldn’t limiting the length but not the quantity maintain the incentive for impartiality? So there is no concept of a second term?

I’m not trolling btw, I’m looking for an honest airing of the Q.

ELI5, How does no term limits allow for impartiality?

She will never be that “old.” She has the heart, soul, and energy of a 30 year old.

Ok I. The interest of an honest conversation these are my thoughts:

• I haven’t seen any reports of beatings during the arrests. Can you send me something if you saw that? Were there brutalizations taking place? If so, you’re absolutely right.
• I have no problem with the protest, but I do think there is a line between protest and vandalism/rioting. I went to the NYC MeToo marches and a protest in DC against the US in Iraq when I was younger, causing material damage is just not what you do. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/live-blog/campus-protests-live-updates-students-occupy-columbia-university-rcna149926
• Looking at the pictures of the baracades and furniture, doesn’t Columbia have an obligation to disperse a situation that is becoming dangerous? Isn’t that one of the police’s jobs?
• I haven’t been in a situation like that, but I’m pretty sure the police officer in that situation can’t tell the difference between a Nazi and not a Nazi. And they might not self identify. I’m guessing things are getting heated. I read somewhere (sorry I don’t have a source on this either) that the students were let off with a misdemeanor of trespassing, and the identified external agitators were charged with more. Then the students freely went back to protesting. I’m going to reiterate, b.c. this is the internet, I would be protesting Israel too if I were a bit younger. My issue is with the way the story was reported.

I live nearby, I walked by.

I think (I don’t know for sure) that the students were peaceful, it looks like it got co-opted by a few loud neo-nazis who were being assholes.

My thing is the original article was pretty off.
