Nobody should die from dehydration, starvation, exposure to the elements, or lack of medical care due to inaction on the part of the government. he/him

You know who *else* could rise up and take over their authoritarian government?

I'm not a general, but I thought if you want a regime change, you go after the head of state, not the schoolchildren.

A couple of days ago, somebody--I think it was @tribelaw.bsky.social -- posted something about the angle grinder operator's sacred oath to start work as early as possible, no matter how little work there was to do that day.

I swear the guy working on the property behind my house has sworn that oath

Image of Star Trek: the Next Generation's Tasha Yar, wearing a yellow command outfit with Starfleet communicator with two full pips and a circle pips denoting her rank as Lt. Commander. She is also wearing a brown cowboy hat with sides upturned and a six-pointed star, like a sheriff would wear.
Text below reads "What in Yarnation?"

The Boy Scouts have always been problematic, IMO. The premise is good, but the execution has had issues numerous times.

Have you tried daydreaming about the revenge you can take on your mortal enemies?

It's the affluent issue. Something built for everybody, by everybody, is their playground. They take up a lot of it, thinking nothing of it, and probably demand a tax write-off for doing so.

I'd suggest that if the license has an expiration date that is not today's date, that a person who the government arrests for this sue the government for false arrest.
The government can't just make licensing changes on a whim.

Can we get them to run a secret op and kidnap the President next?

Odd. I'm 55 and I don't remember seeing a season of Survivor when I was a young child in the 70s. Soon, the show will be older than I am.

Fifth is the coupled bowl. This was once two bowls, but they have joined, like two Home Depot "Homer" buckets vacuum-sealed together. No force in Heaven or earth can separate them. It is now one bowl.
God is reminding you of how only God's love can complete you.

Fourth is the lost bowl. This bowl has left the basket and is at the bottom of the dishwasher casing. It has fallen into darkness and must battle the Balrog in single combat to return.
IlΓΊvatar, the One, also called Eru, reminds you to read Tolkein. ... also, something about sin and losing your way

Third is the overturned bowl. This bowl has been flipped and is now bowl-side up, filled with water. It will take a mechanical device to life end empty, or you must grow your hair out like Samson for the strength.
God reminds you of their benevolence, and their wrath.

Second is the dirty bowl. This bowl has not been cleaned perfectly and still has some sediment. Just like your soul. God is letting you know you need to straighten up and fly right, or risk Eternal Damnation.

The Five Bowls You Meet in the Dishwasher

First, is the perfect bowl. It's right where you placed it, sparkling clean just as the advertisements purport. God has smiled upon you and favored you with a miracle.

Basing your actions on the most racist response from the GOP is useless, because they're going to do every racist thing they can anyway, and it's better to go down swinging than capitulating.

Fortunately, I'm at work, so I have an excellent excuse. Otherwise, I'd have had to make an appointment to get my fingernails ripped out.
