So you're saying that people should be bullied into accepting leaders they don't want and pretend that's democracy?
That's a step in the right direction. I'd be paying for MLB if they'd actually let me watch the team I want to watch, but they don't, so I don't pay for it. On top of that, since I'm not watching, I lose interest and don't buy hats, jerseys, or baseball cards. So I hope that cable money is treating them well enough, since they're not getting any from people like me.
I think the biggest issue is starting your workout with cold muscles. If you're just doing yoga then it's no big deal. If you're running, or hiking, then you don't really want to do that with cold muscles or injury is more likely.
How much of that could be explained as an autonomous, or FPV turboshaft quadcopter? Even just electric prop quadcopters are capable of things that would kill a human pilot, and defy our normal perceptions of flight.
And absolutely nothing will be done about it. Well, something bad may happen to that woman now. This is the new world order.
Given their credentials, I don't doubt what they say. What I doubt is their need to know about need to know classified projects. They've likely seen experimental projects without knowledge of what they were. When I was a kid, before the F117A was announced to the world, we saw them flying over a lake late at night. We were all convinced we had just seen UFOs. But after the jets were announced to the public a few years later, we realized what we had seen. I'm sure there are hundreds of instances like this, especially amongst people close to the military.
And do what with it? Live in a partially flooded house, while dosing LSD, and giving it hand jobs?

Biggly. The biggliest in the history of the universe. Everyone's saying, not me, but some people are saying bigglier than Hitler!

Did trump just get a new order of underage sex slaves or something?
Why can't I comment or vote on midwest.social posts?
AFAIK it has always been this way. I don't think I've been banned from an entire instance, but who knows? If I have, I wasn't told about it. Do they only allow interaction from people registered to their instance?
Has anyone here used the onboard closed captioning in iOS?
I switched to Pixel a few years ago because it has on device closed captioning, and iOS did not. I read that iOS does now, and I'm thinking about switching back. Has anyone here used it? Does it work well? Does it obscure much of the screen? I'm really interested in a screenshot if anyone is willing to share one. Thanks.

Question about astrology (kind of).
We've pretty much completely discounted astrology as having any meaningful impact on a person's personality. But what about the seasons of the year, and the weather that comes with them? The stars position in the sky are an indication of the seasons on earth. Right? Wouldn't a baby that is born into a world of sunshine and warmth have a different early development than one born into the cold and darkness of winter? Has any research been done on the impacts of a baby's environmental conditions on their personality?
What happens if I ambush an apex predator?
I know that lions can be scared away when they see humans approaching without fear, but what if they're ambushed? How about a tiger, or a polar bear? If I manage to sneak up on one of these apex predators, and jump out, screaming, and running at it, will it run? Or will it just turn around and kill me? I guess I'm wondering if apex predators have a fight or flight reflex, and how strong it is if they do. Do they tend to resort to fighting more often if they're the baddest tiger in the jungle vs the runt of the litter? Do they quickly assess the threat and respond accordingly, or does a flight instinct kick in and send them running?
What happened to Epstein's staff?
We all know the outcome of the investigation into his island, with his eventual arrest and death. But what became of his staff? You don't run an operation that large without the help of dozens, or hundreds of people. Most of those people were accomplices to multiple felonies. I'm sure there were a few who didn't know what sort of operation they were a part of, but many must have. I don't remember reading about any other arrests other than his. Were there other arrests, and if so, how many? What about his suppliers? The gangs that would sell him slaves, and the human traffickers who smuggled the victims? Did they all get off Scott free?
Green Book is an amazing movie!
We watched this last night and it's definitely the best movie we've seen all year, probably the last few years.
Viggo Mortensen was nominated for Best Actor for his performance in this movie and it's apparent why. He completely disappears into the role, with no remnant of Aragorn, or Captain Fantastic anywhere on screen. You forget who you are even watching.
Mahershala Ali did win an Academy Award for his performance, which is reserved, powerful, intriguing, and believable all at once. I've only seen Ali portray villains before, and I had forgotten about my previous conception of him within the first few scenes.
The chemistry between the two actors is remarkable, and they play off each other very well throughout the movie. We found the movie to have a perfect blend of seriousness, humor, heartbreak, and triumph. The script is great, the acting superb, the directing stellar, and the music is flat out amazing.
The movie doesn't pull punches with the overt racism of the South during that era. The pair - genius musician, and street smart bodyguard - encounter multiple dangerous situations. They save each other, both literally and figuratively, throughout the movie.
Overall I can't praise this movie enough. It is an outstanding accomplishment, and deserved every award that it won. Check it out!

Questions about migrating to Arch from Pop! for a gaming rig
I've been using Arch on an old laptop for a few years now, but I use Pop on my gaming desktop. I've wanted to switch to Arch for a long while now, but haven't had the motivation (if it ain't broke, and all that). I'm finally ready to do it, but I'm a little concerned about my gaming experience. Are there any gotchas for gaming with an i7 and a 3070 ti that I should be aware of before I make the switch? Is it pretty seamless? Can I still use a freesync monitor with the g-sync compatibility setting? Is it easy to install the Nvidia drivers and well documented on the wiki? I'm open to information about any other sticky scenarios you guys encountered getting Arch set up for use as a daily driver and gaming computer.
Edit: is there any way to backup my internal drive mappings and mounting points, or will I need to set all of that up again?
I've only ever used Gnome for Arch, but one of the things that has me motivated to switch is that KDE 6 supports HDR. Does anyone have experience with it? Is it a pretty slick and simple DE?
I just noticed that they've added a hangover debuff to the game. LOL
Apparently if the majority of your camp supplies are alcohol, the game now gives you a hangover debuff after a long rest. Thankfully it doesn't last very long, but that's a fun little update.
I did not fully anticipate just how lonely and depressing an evil playthrough is.
I'm currently on my 3rd playthrough, and I'm playing as a dark urge character who gives into his urges. For spoiler prevention I'll describe what I just finished as vaguely as possible. I just completed the durge objective that gives you a powerful reward in act 2.
This is depressing. All of the good that I accomplished in my first two playthroughs is absent. My camp is nearly empty. Lae zel's lifeless body has been laying in my camp for 2 full acts. Karlach, Wyll, Zevlor, Damon, Jaheira, and many others are dead, either by my hand or because of my actions.
I didn't fully appreciate just how lonely and depressing, self-serving life would be. I have more gold and loot than either of my other playthroughs, and I'm more powerful, but to what end? My own lonely existence? I don't think that I will continue past this point. I've accomplished what I set out to do, which was experience the game as an evil character. I don't think I need another 50 hours of this to pound the point home.
Hats off to Larian for making such an emotional and realistic game, full of vibrant and exciting characters. I don't enjoy the world where I have betrayed them all.
Astarion can't talk to Raphael?
In my first playthrough he was able to talk to Raphael outside of the Gauntlet of Shar. This time Raphael just left without ever giving Astarion a chance to ask any questions. So, I reloaded a save, did the whole House of Healing fight again, made sure to have Astarion selected when we approached the Gauntlet, and it auto switched to my character when the conversation started and he left again. Have they changed this sequence? Is it bugged? Do only certain dialogue choices give you a chance to barter?
Instance filters are not working
I've added some instances to the instance filters, yet I continue seeing those instances. Is there something else that I need to do to block entire instances?
