I joined Bluesky to be kind to others. Did you?

I don't know what my 'convenience' has to do with this conversation or how you're determining which issues meet that criteria.

They were kept on LSD for months on end, and committed their brutality in a dreamlike stupor. Leslie Van Houten
cut up her clothes to make room for her angelic wings.

You doing okay? Are you taking a break or do you need help from us locals?

She played a character on an eponymous TV show. The character thought she was the kindest person ever but was insensitive and hypocritical.

It's been a long time since I saw the stuff she's referencing, but that ignorance struck me as ordinary failings of trying to be provocative and play the fool for a living rather than reflective of personal bias.
It's not up to me to ask for or accept an apology but I'm glad she's grown over time.

Anyone ever play this on D&D Online?
Did my online experience give me the gist or did it go in an entirely different direction?

Maybe we have the monopoly on decency.
Not seeing a lot of decency from centrists these days.

Welcome! Thank you for socializing with us during the endless project to improve and build upon Eberron.
Isn't it comforting to know that the posts we see before and after yours won't be spiteful?

You cannot undo atrocities by threatening adoptive families.
You aren't willing to learn these languages or attend these events but your belief that other people are obligated to do so ought to be mandatory? Consider the human consequences of your stance instead of looking for a teachable moment.

Nobody should be obligated on the basis of their ethnicity to to do anything or associate with anyone. That's not freedom.
Guilt tripping little kids that their heritage and language will die out if their interests lie outside the community of their birth makes learning into a punishment.

Indeed! Of course, children do not have innate spiritual needs to attend these people's meetings. Using government power to break up families who don't attend services is wrong in Christianity, and it's wrong with indigenous animist religions too.

That's my takeaway from the article and my lived experience. Children are not props. We can't hold them accountable for the genocidal actions of others and fill their childhoods with unique obligations to learn rare languages or obey local leaders.
They cannot owe restorative justice to adults.

I like left leaning policies and I can't follow your insinuations.
What's the purpose of being slick?

"requiring that children attend cultural events and learn their Native language."
I'm sorry, but in practice this is evil. Requiring event attendance means kids can never move. They're at the mercy of local event planners. No freedom of association, no pursuit of individual interests. Conformity.

Thanks for replying. Bluesky means riders will not see racist nonsense before and after your posts, leading to a much nicer user experience.
We also don't, technically, need a big user base before Metro moves, because unlike Twitter, we can see everything without an account or signing Musk's ToS.

Thank you for joining BlueSky. Please use this website for service alerts, people should get updates on a place that doesn't deliberately spread misinformation.

Yes, there should be SNAP safeguards.
It's so important that human beings get to eat.
Can you understand that when those humans live in Gaza?

Okay, who's the professional legitimizing kidnapping?

They're probably having an intern post for them. But for what it's worth, if they were to listen, you might get a compromise of your compromise.
Ask for what you want.

The word is 'kidnapping'.
Dubya era neologisms were created to obstruct our moral compass and lead us down this path.

Stop LARPing as persecuted. Your toys aren't as important as human lives. Your fantasies that you'll be able to end a life in a socially sanctioned manner are bloodthirsty and selfish.

At ten dollars I'd probably cost Elon money, so presumably yes?
The big telecoms all have ties to Trump, paying the least we can for Internet is a more effective boycott than choosing one goon to pay nothing.
Currently I'm on a multi year prepaid plan with PCsForPeople. Unlimited 5G hotspot.

"What about off-grid Inuits that have to drive uphill in the snow both ways" isn't a request to solve a second problem, it's a demand for your silence. They don't care about anyone - pretending to care about the ever more disenfranchised is cynical one-upmanship, designed to punish you for trying.

It's concern trolling. They oppose change, but they'd rather present themselves as populist and you as out of touch and elitist. They feel no pity, but want to muddy the water and raise the possibility that their stonewalling and whataboutism are benevolence.

Legal profession has been inventing excuses for the rich and powerful for centuries under the promise that maintaining the process and vigorously representing their clients protects everyone.
For how many generations has this just been an excuse for the mercantile? Rule of Law further than ever.

Engles said if you own your own workplace you'll have more free time. Bombing hospitals from an airfield in his name is as bizarre as it is evil.

The Republican Party is unanimously behind the donor class. Their voters would see this country obliterated as long as everyone they've always hated suffer too. Begging conservatives to care about anyone else is foolhardy.

If I tried that, my 'reservoir' would be a thick goop of toxic dust from the nearby freeway.

Therapy for what purpose?
Who walks into an office and says they need to be re-sensitized to empty threats?

How does that compare to our ports and both legal and illegal domestic production?

Some citizen-science projects on World Community Grid went much faster on Linux, the difference in how much I could contribute was staggering.
But tech enthusiasts are an insulated bunch. Learn the jargon, find the answer posted online = good enough. Windows doesn't assign homework.

GOP voters don't want the same things you do.
They are burning the country down because we are in it. They understand that massive cuts are devastating, they understand that historical inequalities makes marginalized groups vulnerable. They will pay *any* price if they think it hurts us more.

I called your DC office and suggested you not go. You & Dr. Shapiro sure are nice, but don't waste your political capital proving how dignified you are to an audience of nobody.

I've had a Linux update fail into a boot loop.
I reached out immediately to the Ubuntu community on Reddit and got my outreach deleted.

Politeness in the face of evil is a virtue in the Beltway. It doesn't show true leadership, but a zealous preference for centrist dogma in the face of reality.
You are not a felon or a scam artist or a Russian asset. Stop focusing on convincing history you're the better man.

This is, I suspect, also why RFK Jr. gets himself and his family vaccinated while pushing antivax nonsense on the gullible. And why nobody seemed to care when Trump supporters started drinking bleach.
It's bleach injections for thee, modern medicine for the elite.

Because there's an underlying eugenics to the GOP. You could see it plainly when they insisted the rest of the world die for 'herd immunity' and you can seer it now. They don't want pandemics cured, they think everyone else is weak and ought to be culled.

Who are the human beings who confirm the photos these busses take?
Does Hayden bust the scofflaws or does a traffic cop?

Metro is captured by construction interests and wastes millions pushing freeway widening in consulting costs until they find a community that doesn't push back hard enough.

Netflix has got to be violating laws by filing 'copyfraud' claims against bad reviews. It's not just a copywright issue, it's tortious interference and an attack on speech. Seeing Youtubers unite to sue Honey for fraud makes be hopeful something similar can be done against false DMCA claimants.

Whatever intern was told to put a statement on BlueSky hasn't been assigned with reading the replies. If you're going to ask the federal workforce to wait for 4 years as totalitarianism descends upon their jobs, the least you could do is stick around and listen.

Fifteen would make it among the most expensive transit trips in LA, in line with paying a commuter bus all the way from Lancaster to Los Angeles.
Did they calculate the future savings from not sitting idle in the roundabout?

"Equestrian facilities?"
We don't need horses on the freeway any more than we need more lanes. We should convert the existing carpool lane and the adjacent lane to ExpressLanes.
Meaningful progress has already been eliminated from consideration to make new construction contracts look good.

If a business model can't work with the customer base of Lower Manhattan, maybe it's not congestion pricing's fault.
