I don’t like the method, execution, or reasons, but I feel torn as this type of move will force these institutions to restructure for servicing the youth of the USA instead of primarily pricing out the nation in favor of the super wealthy elite from abroad. From that angle, this eventually creates slightly more upward mobility access for social classes that have long been de facto bared from these institutions due to financial competitiveness of a foreign elite. Maybe that perspective is naïve. I comment it to engage with other reasoning people, not dogma or the stupidity of tribalism.

I do this all the time too. The new standard for polite calling anyone is to initiate the conversation if the line goes live as far as I am concerned. Never say anything for an unknown caller, and expect to get dropped or hung up on even if you are legitimate. If you’re unwilling to call me twice or thrice, you didn’t need to call me in the first place.

Yeah, like Oh no! doG hates your fundamental human needs as scientifically defined. You’re supposed to bottle and depress yourself on par with the most sadistic misers in the group!

I’d like to be the guy getting paid to get the low ass shots with a $10k telescope on a stick

civil war is inevitable

The view from the other side is rhyme in similar measure.

MUSA already has support in llama.cpp.

Magical memories like realistic dreams.

It could be. Or you could use it to walk away with something more if you’re clever about it. If you party it up, I’ll let you keep the Epicurean memories

All you remember is a hypothetical Lemmy post

I don’t know money penny. Maybe a bond; just a bond

I reply to you coyly on Lemmy like nothing ever happened.

Try and live by that and you might have some problems one way or another.

Western cultural ethics and morality pivot on the fulcrum of child soldiers as the only basis for an age of majority in the late teens. So the authority of a military dictates my belief.

I was for stuff that is so mundane I don’t feel like typing it all. I was profiled for driving a cheap car at 2am in a nice area. I’m super white in the worst kind of privileged way, like tall, broad shoulders and can easily turn my slight southern accent on and off. I refused to let them search the car on principal alone, so they did a light search of my person. There was an issue with my license that let them do whatever to search me, but I know exactly what to say. By that I mean I know better than to say anything or interfere with a cop. They are not a judge and whatever they do is their own thing.

The cop made up that my tag light was out. I took pics the next day including all of the original DOT markings on the lamp and included a newspaper in the background with the date because that is enough for a court to accept the date in question. I then brought my business license, business cards from two businesses, and a picture of my old shop to show I am a professional auto body painter. I then testified that the vehicle was unaltered from the night before I was pulled over and that it was in full working order as it was originally designed and equipped. The judge dismissed my ticket, told the cop to approach the bench, and for me to leave the courtroom first. I did as instructed. A few minutes later the very pissed off cop came storming out of the courtroom and left immediately. I have no clue what was said or what happened, but it felt good to see it.

Cops can say anything. You must comply with anything they tell you to do, even if it is illegal. Cops are not judges. If they break the law, you must be able to testify precisely how and what they did for the whole incident. They get home field advantage so you have no room for error or questionable conduct. The trick is to know your rights and give them no room to maneuver. Never roll your window all the way down. If you are instructed to exit the vehicle, do so after rolling up the window, removing the key, and locking the door behind you. Never talk or volunteer any information whatsoever. When you’re pulled over, put both hands either on the steering wheel, or better yet, put them palm up at the window like anyone that is carrying a legal concealed weapon is supposed to do. You will be asked about a concealed weapon at which point to tell them what you do or do not have and that you are only doing your best to put them at ease for their safety. When they must start off testimony with that detail, you greatly diminished their home field advantage with a double play out of the gate.
