You're absolutely correct, and we should fight to ensure that the law is presented equally to all charges. That doesn't refute my point. This is the core foundation of British Common Law, that only a sure and clear conviction may be justly carried out. Any doubt leaves injustice as the outcome as sure as you claim it to be so for the poor. If we rewrite the rules or even disregard existing precident on the grounds that "well they wouldn't be just if it was us at the noose," then we are pushing for the type of system you (rightfully) claim to be unequally unjust.

I can tell you're being facetious, but you're 100% right. You do, indeed, need to give every benefit of the doubt in our legal process. That is what is meant by "innocent until proven guilty." They must make it so there is no foothold for appeal. No "well you didn't tell me..." or "you should have had a firm definition for..." No, if the legal system wants to take someone down, REALLY take them down, they must do it with every ounce of assurance and with no room for doubt that this person explicitly broke a law, in full knowledge and with warning, that they can be convicted to the full extent of said law.

That's okay. I hear they do punch cards now. Only a matter of time.

Me hearing a whisper in the wind through my kitchen window: "You're letting all of the bought air ouuuuutttt..."

Hyperfurs and macros are, too, generally niche, and micro cuddle piles are similarly wholesome <3

It's ome thing to abstract it and another entirely to be staring at a billboard where your god is shown to be as vile and hate-fuelled as you are. Make them get angry about it, and point out at every enfuriated comment that they're only proving the point.

I got really soft mohair socks and a cashmere scarf and it felt better than a new video game which would have cost the same.

I've had the notion of producing some SDXL images of jesus doing hateful things that Christians do, like holding up a "god hates f*gs" sign or roaring and frothing at a trump rally. Make them see what "Christ through them" looks like. Put it on billboards and shit.

Gmap data is dated around sensitive sites and they have to request DoD clearance to update that type of sat imagery, and even then objects can be blurred or even photoshopped by the DoD before google is allowed to post the update, and by then any intel even unedited is OBE. It makes sense that a country would want their own, up-to-date system.

The book also claims that music is extraordinarily rare, with most species finding rhythm and melody indestinguishable from noise. I think the point is that the galactic consciousness that runs it all universally translates for purposes of intercommunication. What is heard or understood is more the concept of what was said than the phonetic content therein. It wasn't that such and such syllables made up the word "human," it was that the concept of human needed a universal concept to tie to the thing itself. For example, a matriarchal insectoid species who canabalizes any mate is known by the concept of "widow" as a species. Not the word, the idea that the galactic mind would push as a conceptual thought in whatever manner of communication a species might communicate in, which itself might or might not be verbal or phonetic.

Thw books, obviously! Been decades tho

In the book, the word you give is the translation into galactic standard, which is one uniform language. Earth would be translated into the same word as soil and dirt, and perhaps a few synnonyms could be pulled before the concept itself was milked dry.

Su Cuy'Gar, Mando'an!

If you haven't read The Last Human by Zack Jordan, I highly recommend it. In between chapters, the reader is treated to excerpts from an Asmovian encyclopedia that explains the rules of the intergalactic society that the sole remaining human, the main character, has to navigate.

As part of joining the trillion-species-strong network, a species must fill out a form to dictate the nouns and adjectives for your species, home star, homeworld, sexual divisions (where applicable), and so on. It's noted in the book that since there are so many species already assigned values in the database, the encyclopedia warns that names like Earth, dirt, mud, moon, star, sol, and home are already taken, and are constantly rejected in proposals.

Looks like the arduboy's display. Might look for some C++ arduino libraries. Additionally, it never hurts to have gimp/PS skills for stuff like this, and there are likely plugins for both.

To be clear, you too go into a coma when your core body temperature gets low enough, the vibration just staves it off

Linux: You got this far! I'm sure you'll figure it out, champ!

The word you're looking for is schadenfreude

All good here, Cap'!

Happy the tankies gripe about us.

That's Ruth, the HoA Fish
