This. Everyone should know how to remove the magazine from a gun, check that there is no bullet in the chamber and to remove the bullet if there is, and put the gun on safety. Even if you swore an oath of non-violence you should know how to do that.

Read up on straw purchase laws before buyng from someone you know.

SO many UIs now are just hostile dogshit.

Right? Turns out when all the capitalist forces have been fighting and murdering tens of millions of people to keep anything from changing and any progress towards a better world from happening you can still use the well written manual.

What kind of Christian? Catholic? Anglican? Orthodox? Methodist? Some kind of Christian Fascist? If they’re mainline there’s some hope. If they’re Christian Fascists they’re Nazis now.

Average Senate Confirmatino Hearing:

Democratic Senator: “In a contract you wrote with the devil which you signed in your own blood in front of six hundred and sixty six witnesses you said you would murder all the minorities. Do you still believe that?”

Fascist: “No”

Democrat Senator: “Awesome you have my vote.”

Maybe getting a reminder of how utterly dangerous and unpredictable their big brother is snapped them out of their xenophobic idiocy.

No he’s doing a farcical Nazi Privatization, more or less.

I don’t make predictions anymore.

But will this make shifting trade towards China, Europe, Brazil, and India appealing? Americans can’t afford to pay these costs. Idk whats’ going to happen.

It’s so farcical that they expect anyone to give a shit about this.

Yeah small plane crashes happen constantly. They’re not an augur of the will of heaven

Repo men and repo the genetic opera and many other movies and stories; do not create this very specific torment nexus.

I didn’t realize he was actually physically in the white house

I would fuck with an eco sci Fi about the farming challenges of people who need to eat several tons of foliage each day.

Bats can carry rabies without dying. Check yourself real real carefully for any small wounds. It’s unlikely but possible to get bitten. If you’re even a little bit unsure consider getting checked up.

You throw the speaking stick at someone

Someone asked me what Illness I had that I had to wear a mask, because they were doing chemo. Ma’am I am not sick and I am masked up to keep it that way why aren’t you masked? Weird experience.

Jedi Mind Trick as depicted in ANH and Jedi was mostly convincing people to do things they were already primed to do. The Storm Troopers inMos Eisley probably didn’t care about ids much, and Bob Fortuna’s whole job is leading people to audiences with Jabba. It’s a nudge rather than full control. Wouldn’t it be easier to just wave us through? Wouldn’t it be easier to just let me talk to your boss?

It fits the early depiction of “True” Jedi using the minimum necessary force to achieve their goal. Obiwan is a tricky old sneak and liar, rather than an unstoppable war god. He ultimately aids Luke in destroying the Death Star simply by encouraging Luke to trust the force at the right moment.

I’ve always interpreted it as being not electricity, but manifest hatred. My evidence is one, it sounds cool, and two, lightning doesn’t x-ray your bones.

But force lightning being hate and not electricity neatly side steps all the “well Jedi should be able to use it too” stuff.

It’s probably even harder to get a real image of him across a big language barrier.
