I've said it before: at ~1000 followers, twitter should have automatically locked your account, given you a notice on the pitfalls of being Big and the tools available to manage them, and then let you choose for your account to be unlocked, stay locked, or forked into one of each.

And that emperor... was Carl Friedrich Gauss.

which doesn't make "you used a word I don't know" not an asinine comment, but sometimes comments are asinine, whatchagonnado.

No, not as a rule. It's plainly not a common word.

(and this is assuming the worst case where I find the text posts basically uninteresting)

if, like, 70%+ of your posts are unrelated text posts I might start to feel annoyed, and at 85%+ I might unfollow
but generally it's fine, nice to be able to connect a bit of a personal voice to the art.
(long threads only count as a couple posts for this, it's really about timeline presence)

The best time to change your name to Richard was 20 years ago.
The second best time is now.

But if the barrel faces the opposite way, the firing position has the hound's forehead pressed to the ground.
And that's before we even get into the possibilities for recoil handling mechanisms.

Nah the tires don't actually turn, he just shifts around the contact surface to move forward like a snake slithers
And the same shifting just makes it look like they're turning
No I don't have anything to back this up

If you're gonna suggest stopping part way through anyways, you might as well include ME3 through the end of Rannoch.

Do you know if tariffs are going to mess with your printing plans? I've been seeing some chatter about it in publishing circles.

(agreeing:)
Putting pronouns in email signatures isn't even a trans thing! It's a women-in-professional-settings-not-wanting-to-be-assumed-to-be-men thing!

I mean they have the ability to catch fire in more different ways than any other car; it's a notable liability!

And sometimes would-be oligarchs can't meaningfully control the broader fascist power bases (law enforcement, "small business," etc.) and it would be reasonable to say that oligarchs and fascists are in conflict.
That doesn't seem like the case right now, though.

I don't thing you're using a common (or useful) definition of oligarch in this piece.
They're definitionally powerful, with commensurate wealth, but they needn't be monomaniacally profit motivated (or competent, for that matter).
Sometimes the oligarchs are fascists. They're still oligarchs.

How overt is the threat that cosmetic battle damage will be replicated too?

I can elaborate but I'm also happy to see what your brilliant mind comes up with on its own.

I thought you meant, like, prop designers, and didn't doubt for a second that they built an actual 30-foot knife for a couple shots.

...we formally entertain them as visiting heads of state?
sometimes we're simultaneously undermining their rule on behalf of the Dole Corporation, but diplomatic nicety does seem to be the norm when kings are in America.

If one doesn't believe that cooperation between equals is actually possible, what else would one think it means for a country to be your "ally"?

I think it has other strengths that make it worth a watch even if the main plot doesn't wrap itself up.
But, y'know, fair.

The whole point of s2e1 is to dazzle the innies to reestablish control, so I think it's appropriate if you're feeling confounded too.

Cool, now we can call the whole, proper basin Lake Michigan, and still have a name for that half-a-lake over there. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Mi...

Very nice.
(I like the patched together look a lot better than ripped clothes for her. She feels pretty fastidious, even if she leans into a chaotic aesthetic; if something tears, she'd Fix it.)

Where do competitions like the Olympics fit in this conceptualization?
comment in response to

This makes at least some more sense when you parse it as just another strain of American authoritarians; they just vibe more with the dems than the gop.

I don't know you, I have no basis for this judgement, and no rationalization for this conclusion

The poem notably does not mention queer/disabled/mentally ill people, perhaps because from the writer's perspective those were all acceptable targets even in hindsight.
I guess it's still relevant here, but not as a rebuttal, just as an example of this happening before.

Yup.

the most overtly evil one of his, imo - though the mckinsey bread stuff gets up there - is everything with the cops in south bend. people have made a lotta excuses about it, but i really dug into the nitty gritty there, and came out with an even worse opinion on him than when i started.

The structure of the statement already implies that; if you had seen one, you wouldn't need to assume.

Nah, make it the most popular person, so everyone has potential motive. It's fine if the detective's motive is just the inherent immorality of the act (as in a normal murder mystery, where there's a case to be solved even if everyone's attitude toward the murder is "Good riddance.")

Is MAGA here the current political movement, or the collection of grievances motivating it?
'Cause the underlying politics will remain, sure, but I'm not actually aware of any fascist government holding together in the absence of its original leader.

Always thought twitter should have had a feature where, on getting ~800 followers, it automatically locked your account, notified you of the pitfalls of being Big, and then gave you the option to unlock, or fork your account into a locked and unlocked account.

This is what furigana is for, yeah? Spelling out non-obvious kanji pronunciations?

Huh. I think the open form better implies a direct material relationship (rib cage: a cage made of ribs), and the closed form better implies metaphysical relationships (birdcage: a cage for birds, regardless of if one is in it)
(A steel cage is absolutely a cage of steel. idk what a steelcage is.)
