They only like the 2nd when they agree with you! Remember the Black Panthers?

Conservatives here have picked unborn children as a group they can ostentatiously "protect". It's a particularly useful group for them, as the unborn have no ability to declare, "If you want to help us, SUPPORT OUR MOTHERS!"

So, conservatives get to feel righteous, while their leaders manipulate them with this crusade to further their own ends.

They're not, but a lot of their positions are justified by other things that sit right next to what Hazdaz listed.

Oh! I went looking for more videos like this (my kids love this sort of thing), and I'm pretty sure the source was the first hit: https://www.usgs.gov/media/videos/lava-sampling-active-lava-flow

This was exactly where my mind went! I'm still trying to remember which novel it was.

Leaving aside for the moment the free speech issues inherent here... if you want to control what someone does with a book after you sell it? You can't sell it. Lend it, rent it, whatever; but if it's sold, you've given up all right to determine what happens with it.

Don't want to invest in the infrastructure to do that? Then is it really that important to you?

If they want to play that game - the calendar date becomes part of the password. It's never the same, but you can always work it out!

Exactly this. I want to normalize showing the password requirements when you don't immediately get the password - if you made me jump through hoops the first time, at least remind me what they were!

I laughed here as well; but I just cracked up when the Enterprise posed over Riker, Worf, and Picard and Jack!

Mandalorian didn't really click for me until several episodes in. I feel like Pedro Pascal took a typical, surface-level Star Wars script and made the character amazing, though - I watch mostly for him, rather than the writing.
