They were basically illegal until 1982. It was considered, and I believe still is, market manipulation.

Imagine for a moment that you are president of the United States and you are given an intelligence briefing with information that is vital to an allied nation's safety. Under no circumstances are you to share this information with anyone. You are then in a candid two-hour conversation with a jovial diplomat from a nation hostile to that other nation. If you didn't keep your wits about you, you might accidentally discuss the secret information.

Donald Trump is not a man who has ever had his wits about him.

In Albany, Georgia on July 20th, 2023, the relative humidity at 94 F was 54%. As someone who's experienced dry heat vs humidity, I wanted to offer that context. Sweating just doesn't cool you down as the humidity rises.

He spent a lot of his presidency watching Fox News and ignoring his briefings. Staff figured out pretty quickly that he likes pictures and compliments and tried to use those to help him get through minutes of material.

And this is a massive increase in authority for the courts. If there is ambiguity in the wording of a law, it's open for a lawsuit.

Homeschool Shooters

Tokyo Story from 1953 and Ozu's most well-regarded work. If you've never noticed how a director frames a shot in a movie before, this one will make you aware of how well it can be done.

Well, there's still Truth Or Consequences, New Mexico.

I've been thinking about why the assassination attempts have only just now started. I wonder if they become more likely when a politician or celebrity is seen as weakening in favor as opposed to when they are on the rise.

It's odd that I find this incredibly encouraging. It tells me that for all the negative coverage, the protests must be working.

Oh snap. You're right!

The countries with declining birthrates have also seen the destruction of their wetlands. The connection is so clear.

I think this is a common misconception about how electability works in a first-past-the-post voting system. There is no benefit to going with a compromise position or reaching out to moderates. The number of people who can be persuaded to vote one way or another is miniscule. The number of people who can be persuaded to vote or not to vote is massive.

If people are excited or scared, they come out to vote. With disenfranchisement primarily focused on progressive and minority voters, there's not much left to gain in scaring regressive conservatives more, they already vote at high numbers.

Imagine trying to find shoes that don't look like clown shoes when your toes are that spread.

If you get a chance, she's absolutely amazing in Gosford Park from 2001.

Most bees are daughters

-Spoiler- The strongest moment in the game uses the control scheme as story and character development. Only the older brother can swim. After he's died, you hit a dead end with deep water in the way. You use the older brother's control stick to swim through it, relying on what he left you with.

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what's going on here. There is an open league and a league restricted to women only.

Without a women's league, there are fewer women seen playing, which reinforces the perception that it's not a sport for women, which creates this feedback loop leading to a smaller pool of women playing chess, thus fewer grand masters who are women. I see value in creating more space for women in chess to create more opportunities for following generations.

I don't like excluding trans women. I can imagine an argument that we're not ready for this until we get to a place where we don't think to distinguish between trans and cis women. A women's league in 2023 that a young cis girl is watching that had 3 cis women and 97 trans women, still may look to that young girl like a league for trans women, and not a league for all women that they can see themselves competing in. Personally, I enjoyed watching a marginalized gender eSports competition, and I don't think the presence of trans women invalidated the impact it could have inspiring young cis girls to pick up gaming.

But there is surely room between "controlled by the government" and "not accountable for the content on its platform."

Chants of Sennaar is absolutely one of my favorite games. It's one of the few games I've played where the mechanics of the game and the themes of the game were in perfect harmony.

Steven Spielberg was the producer on Boom Blox for the Wii.

While it's obviously weird to want the bill of rights and declaration of independence in your Bible; let me just say, if your goal is to convert kids to Christianity, the KJV bible is just completely opaque to children that don't normally read 17th century literature.

See both a psychiatrist and a therapist. Therapy like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can give you some strategies that will help you recognize how you are feeling and give you some distance from your thoughts. For a rough example: Instead of just feeling like you're failing, you might say, "I am having the thought that I am failing," and that little bit of distance gives you the space to ask where the thought is coming from. You may then be able to refute it or accept it as the way you feel right now, but not necessarily who you are.

Psychiatry can help you identify if a medication may be a good option for you and what route to take with it. This will likely be a few months of trying different doses and different medications while you may journal to track the quality of your days.

If you find yourself having even brief, passive, non-planning suicidal or violent thoughts, get with a professional. They're good at that stuff.

Once the major stuff is taken care of, it's much easier to work on the normal things like daily exercise, nutrition, and social connections.

I kind of love those, but they are definitely excessively used.

And multi-winner ranked choice with larger districts makes gerrymandering much less impactful.

And if they hear this information, they may stare blankly, refuse to take in the new information, then respond with a thought-terminating cliche like "God only made two genders."

Actually like this: https://youtu.be/dF98ii6r_gU?si=auFnMHOAwPi3UWlz

The people of the moon crave freedom from an unspecified tyrant.

It wasn't a game I played at the time, but I really enjoyed going back to play it last year.

What is being strange? Am just a normal warm-water port-loving Americain like you.
