It has a certain late Robespierre PUBLIC VIRTUE feel to it TBH. Like, I could genuinely see that happening in the months before the Thermidorian Reaction.

Showboat was the "F-15s shoot down drug planes" part of the book and the last time we did that shit IRL we wasted a missionary family in their Cessna.

They like Trump and want to help him rule us a king, so they help downplay scandals that would've merited banner headlines for weeks under any other president

So it's "Showboat" time?

That's called proper extension of the foot. You train to force your foot and ankle to deflect up and out instead of down and in (which is called "sickling")

See the illustration below

You are projecting energy with the visual line of your body and you always want that to be outwards instead of in

You mean the way her feet are extended at an outside angle instead of resting inward?

I think this war could destroy his presidency--I've never felt this about any other issue. He and his gang of nihilist greedhead idiots have finally gotten themselves into something they can't get out of. But the cost will, on every level, be staggering.

Dozens killed as Israeli special forces raid Lebanese village in search of 40-year-old remains Overnight, one Israeli operation saw at least 41 people killed and 40 injured, according to the Lebanese health ministry.

Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

for those unaware, this would be perfidy, explicitly prohibited by the 1907 Hague convention and 1977 protocol to the Geneva conventions as war crimes; these (particularly The Hague convention) are customary international law and thus binding on Israel

Me: uh, alright we have thinly interbedded sandstone and shale, lanimae varying one to two inches, near shore deposition I'd guess...wait there's a lot of fucking bees down here.

Geologist: they're looking for shade. Don't kill one or you'll get that death smell on you!

Me, student intern with geo engineering firm in Los Angeles on hot fucking job site in the Friendly Hills above Whittier to site geologist: ok you need me to go in that 12' deep pit and tell you the sedimentary sequence?

Geologist: yeah, that's it.

Me: ok *in pit*

The Promise:

Behold the majesty of time written on rocks! Onlap/offlap sequences, oophiolite suites, granite batholiths and fault displacements for you to discover!

The Reality:

You're taking water samples from monitoring wells at a superfund site in Hoboken to check for heavy metals.

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
