Unless they put him on one of his rocket launches.

Perhaps a ban on daily political podcasts?
Each one can get a designated day of the week to release content.

Is there even an example of this from his tenure as cabinet secretary?
Boris Johnson was able to take all the steps he wanted during covid with minimal
And Liz truss would Have been able to do most of what she wanted if it hadn't tanked the markets

Oh absolutely. I remember some people at med school who were already wanting to jump into management consultancy as soon as FY1 was done.
And David bulls wiki has the below which makes you wonder how many people realize that each of those specialties may have just been for 4 months.

Wonder why this is in particular- is it because the playing to the game supersedes what someone writes about it?
If I played more TTRPGs would I read less about them?
Or does the narrative and quite open form of TTRPGs make for more interesting reading and allow more discussion of theory?

Feels like something a military officer has told Hesgeth is the next step while knowing full well it doesn't mean what Hesgeth things it means.

There are so many things wrong with it but for some reason I'm most infuriated by not even considering crop rotation.
Something we've been doing for millennia!

Yeah also feels like the demographics of the army and national guard are different to that of ICE.
So not necessarily the Trump fanatics willing to go to all the lengths.
Wish we weren't in this situation but hope calmer heads at the ground level prevail

Been wondering this. Have the national guard even done anything?
Feel like they just stood around the federal buildings but all the protest engagement was ICE or LAPD.
Are they going to have the marines sweeping though the streets? Or just standing about?

By no means perfect games but at the time I'd not experienced anything quite like MGS 2+3.
Honestly think Metal Gear Solid 3 has so many moments Id just be happy to drop into and experience again even now.

Aware that it's the principle and the action of trump calling in the military against a democratic state.
But I hope that actively attacking their own civilians would cross a line for parts of the US military.
Obviously don't want it to get to the point we have to find out.

That's a good point. Definitely never not at the speed I read while younger.
But the posts and replies to this are making me wonder whether I should take the time to go back and do some re reading instead of always moving onto something new.

I think the two companies will have their lawyers fight it out and whichever one looses is stuck with him.

The thing is to me re watching and rereading I see as two quite different levels of commitment.
Re reading feels like a big task and then you miss out on other books you could be reading.
But rewatching a film is almost a comfortable thing to settle back into. And more easily captures the nostalgia

At least the second civil war will also have a group arguing it was only about states rights.

What I've noticed about *myself* since posting only here are the things I actually don't care about anymore. Not the big stuff, just the constant rage I was seeing from people at *whatever* and getting dragged into commenting on it. Apart from anything else, that shit is not good for anyone's MH.
