I'll take "winwing not charging $300 for what's realistically half the quality of VKB" over trying to land a real plane.... and I own a PA28.
Y'know the French did this "publicly execute the rich" thing before. Worked out pretty great for them..... maybe we should learn a thing or two.
They're comment is wrong. But non-marxian communism exists. For example council communism.
But a Tankie is basically a Leninist/Stalinist/Maoist communist who dick rides authoritarianism.
A river delta is where it meets a lake or the ocean. Where you would find brackish water for a fresh water river like the Amazon or Mississippi Rivers
[OC] Brackish
All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt Stolen from the world their youth the delta mix Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault
Though women try to shield them from the stiffened gault They are dashed and churned into those bluish bricks All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt
A purity they chase as if their ends they think they'll halt Yet purity escapes and dies along the River Styx Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault
As girls do age and stiffen up like malt To be like brick and stone for society's new picks All girls corrupt like waves of brackish salt Lies are told to make them think that it's their fault
The ends justify the means?
Hypotheticaly then: if I had a 100% guarantee that murdering all babies would get them into heaven, but you'd go to hell, is it morally right to murder all babies? The ends justify the means, do they not? We need to get babies to heaven! So murder them all!
No, it's absolutely still monstrous. Because utilitarianism is stupid.
[OC] [FB] Bluebirds
Bluebirds flit about the garden as I watch a moment pass in time as I cry They flit about and sing a song for me keep company as I sit alone and stare
"What is it like to fly?" I ask the bluebirds yet ne'er an answer do they ever give "Stay a moment please?" I ask the bluebirds yet ne'er a one does ever stay for me
They mustn't understand me, thinks I as the bluebirds carry on That's right, they cannot answer so and yet the bluebirds call
Rage within boils over like Vesuvius as the bluebirds mock me still "Answer, damn you!" I do to them so shout yet still no answer is their's given
A treat! A treat will liken them to me! I think as I brandish then some bread Yet eat they do and no answer still is their's as they mock my gift with silent pecks
Will I never be free? Shall I perish here then? I think as the songbirds sing their song "You mock me still, just leave me be!" I cry as tears do then I shed
But birds know not my prison cell they know just gardens free They cannot speak some truth to me a truth they'll never know
Guess who I am now perfectly with a "happy accident" happening to?
Y'know most of us audiophiles are managing actual libraries.... but they're not mp3. Mines mostly flac.
War crimes are explicitly not terrorism by definition. If you need a basic high school education though there's hopefully a public school near you. This subject and topic is covered under civics.
Wars are by definition lawful. Sorry you're wrong
It's also not a twisted definition. It's the literal dictionary definition that all countries use when defining terrorism.
And no, if war time acts were not lawful, all war is terrorism which it isn't so again you're wrong.
Israel can't be called terrorism because terrorism must be—by definition—unlawful
the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
Emphasis mine.
"Hey so I know we've been doing a genocide but look, we're being really nice when we bomb innocent civilians homes by letting them know we're going to bomb their homes."
This (a) doesn't excuse literal genocide and (b) is just a "nicer" version of exactly the thing they're appalled Hamas just did. You don't get to cry foul if you're going to retaliate with a tit for tat play.
They are terrorists. That's literally what they are. The fact that attacked an evil fascist state's city doesn't change that.
Tbf, no good lawyer wants to work for him because he keeps doing a fucky wucky every five seconds.
Yes. You don't technically have to show for civil cases though.
Me and my fiancée had the conversation the other night that it feels like if the GOP wins a supermajority, there'll be acetal fucking blood in the streets.
The only books I have physical copies of are for ttrpgs. And even then I have a digital copy.
Most Blu-ray's now come with digital files. You can upload these to a server like Plex (this requires you to setup a Plex server which I don't expect the average consumer to be capable of, but uploading it to a MacBook or whatever is basically enough) to digitise your collection. Now you still own the physical media, and have a digital version of it as well.
And this is completely legal.
You could also skip the buying the physical Blu-ray part. But that is less than legal (but you're unlikely to get caught.... just saying, yar har)
Lemmy is not full of tankies, yours truly a communist.
And your post was free market romanticism.
As the owner of a Victoria Arduino E1..... it is not smart. They tried. My DE1XL was the better machine, for $2,000 less.
Also, pretty sure it's illegal in California to under CCPA, but there they could just turn off the lights. Which is why CCPA needs change in functionality clauses.
[OC][FB] Sonnet 81
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? I could like Shakespeare pen idyllic lines! Or is that but a quaint and drawn cliche? Cliche, archaic, sexist too I find.
When but this hardship ever passes by, And you and I like lovers ever be, Will be the day that I release a sigh, This task complete a payment, it's a fee.
A fee like dowry, no, again that is, Just slightly gross to treat you like a toy, That one might buy inside a Target, Iz, You mean such more than idle trinket joy.
So here I end my heart wrought task I'm done, No more shall I be needing write, you've won.
[OC] The Changeling
In days of old when now was then, A babe sat keening, bain sidhe's mournful strain, Within the glade, where naught appeared to sight, Yet lantern Jack cast shadows in the night. Both fey and devil, angel too, did spurn, The one who caused fair Cliodhna's tears to churn.
A babe so spectre thin and gaunt and frail, A babe so fraught no Danann dare to touch, Scorned by mortals and heard in frightened tale, Until fey and devil did claim them such.
A changeling child not changeling born, Did bring to Medb a heimal warmth, Still the spectre Erin sits alone and keens, And at her keen does pause the faerie queen, At the keen, the keen with echoed thrills, Through the barrows of the ever still.
And then the day which is but now, The changeling babe does ever keen, A babe embraced by deadly ploughs, And scorned by mortal and the faerie queen.
Closing Arguments Conclude in Parkland SRO Trial
Prosecutors Monday urged jurors to find a former school resource officer who stayed outside during the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School guilty on all counts, contending his alleged inaction contributed to the deaths of six victims and the injuries of four others.
Closing Arguments Heard in Parkland SRO Case
Court just recessed for lunch after FL State Prosecutors and Defence gave closing arguments. State's closing was fairly strong focusing on the elements of the charges and evidence of testimony. Mark Eiglarsh began his closing very strongly as well however ran out of time after being granted additional time. Failed to cover the elements of the case. Prosecution rebuttal after lunch. Judge denied Eiglarsh's request for more time.
Moving to NY!
Me and my fiancée are moving to NY cause she got accepted to Tisch's Musical Theatre Writing Program! Bucket list item: kiss a cute girl in Manhattan, almost completed.
[OC][FB] Death's Game
I am the weaver of souls, the master of fate The doorman standing at Hell's awful gate The visitor that comes when you are in a state Of pestilential, existential, infinite distrait
But never fear for I am fair A player bound by wretched rules The game I play, I say, you can too if you dare But if you lose, within here you will stay
So I'll arrange the board, don't be bored For you're soon to meet your end Cause in my game your ending's all but penned So sit down and listen to my awful keening chord
You well did try to win this game But I'm a practiced, well, old fool None have beat me, you still tried all the same So this fleece you may not have the precious golden wool
For I am the weaver of souls, the master of fate The doorman standing at Hell's awful gate The visitor that comes when you are in a state To reap your soul and leave the rest in infinite distrait

Jinxed Halfling Time Oracle
So to help get this community off the ground I'm gonna post a recent build I made to accentuate the Jinxed Halfling's "class fantasy" of manipulating luck and fortune.
So obviously our Ancestry is Halfling and we're taking the Jinxed Halfling Heritage. We're also going to pick up the Chosen One Background to further accentuate the idea of manipulating (or in this case, delaying) fate through fortune effects and debuffs. Lastly we're taking the Oracle Class with the Time Mystery (Fate Domain). So we're not really going for a super optimal build here and are more focusing on the fantasy of having a lot of things that interact with our core character concept.
We're going to focus our Ability Boosts into CHA, WIS, DEX, and CON, our skills we're going to pick up the usual suite of face skills and focus on Deception and Diplomacy and pick up the Distracting Shadows feat to help us be harder to hit. So now with Prophecy's Pawn we can reroll failures and force others to take a penalty to their own rolls. We also have Temporal Distortion to allow us to diversify our debuffs a bit and be used more often than Jinx.
At level 2 we're helping out our ability to stay at range with Reach Spell so we can extend Temporal Distortion or make a 1 action Heal have range so we can conserve our actions unless necessary. We'll also take the Lie to Me skill feat.
At Level 3 we'll increase Deception to Expert and take Discreet Inquiry to help our information gathering abilities, this isn't useful in all campaigns but it's useful in mine so if you're in a less intrigue based campaign I'd take Dubious Knowledge or Group Impression instead. We're also going to make Heal and Restoration as our signature spells (mostly cause my party needed a healer).
Level 4 we're picking up Vision of Weakness to get another Focus Point and Courtly Graces to help schmooze the nobility (gotta push them face skills). This doesn't seem like a big level but the increase in Focus Points is huge and allows you to maintain Temporal Distortion more effectively. We're going to be retraining this to Divine Aegis once we hit level 6.
Level 5 we push our Diplomacy to Expert and Boost our 4 core abilities and pick up Cultural Adaptability so we can take Courteous Comeback from the Human Ancestry feats.
Level 6 we take Advanced Revelation and Cat Fall (we had a lot of people falling off cliffs....) and retrain Vision of Weakness to Divine Aegis.
This is far as I've planned out the build but if it progresses in any strange ways I'll make sure to update this.
