So if I can't afford to live where I do because my tax dollars support your flyover state that repeatedly wastes the money on corruption instead of helping peoplw, I need to leave the land I was born to join the untoothed masses? That's the conservative way, isn't it? "Oh, we ruined your progress, you should have to do it out way now."

There's nothing wrong with the land itself, just the people who live there who shaped their society.

Definitely drink milk from the bottom of your bag though, that's fine and normal.

When a piece of content that doesn't allow downvotes, like a tweet, has lots more reposts than it does likes, the "ratio" is seen as proof the opinion was disagreed with, proportionally to the "ratio" itself.

"just upend your entire life and everything you've worked for to move to some hellhole flatland state that mainly exists for late night TV jokes to be made about it, where everyone will hate you for your previous life you were forced to give up, because these same cornfed fuckwads want to live in the 1700s, and say you have to join them or they'll burn crosses on your lawn"

You can argue about what was fer supper yesterday but that don't make tuna casserole into brisket and baked taters. The states that became the Confederacy started the war, and the war was about slavery, or states rights to do slavery if you prefer the obtuse phrasing.

So it shows the elected officials as being corrupt to the point of having broken the process, and the answer to the evil mayor is the authoritative police. How often are corporations the bad guys?

You're again correct, they use a lovely little modifier we call in English "And". It lets you do two things as one thing. So you can legalize something, and regulate it, in one legislative action. But you couldn't regulate something, and then legalize it, because if the government is regulating something they've defacto legalized it. If it's illegal it can't be regulated because the only regulation allowed for illegal things is "none at all ever".

Yeah, correct. But you can't implement that framework on anything until it is legalized. It can be your very next action. But the lawful government cannot, by definition regulate illegal activity, so first you pass one legal motion and then you do the next. That doesn't mean you can't have a plan for move 2 before you make move 1.

It can't be regulated until it's legalized. Once it is it should be.

I hope not, no offense. I was just getting myself figured out and that'd be a whole new thing.

I just moved into a camper trailer, and one of my favorite things is the tiny showerhead is close to the toilet, and even has a little valve lever at the spray end to turn it on and off, just like it was designed to be a bidet. I don't care if it was designed that way, it is one now.

I don't see a turf grass lawn, so it's got that going for it.

That's a great teacher. Refusing to teach a technology only leads to poor use. Even if one thinks it's a poor technology, teach THAT instead of just black boxing the topic. The bottle is open, the genie is out. Better to teach how to make legally airtight wishes than to ban wishmaking.

Pretty good protocol. I like it.

"clearly wasn't"

I see now, you just phrase things abruptly in a way that SEEMS rude but clearly isn't. My mistake. Have a nice day.

Fair enough.

Not sure why you phrased that as correcting them when you were agreeing and adding to it.

Oh okay, you said not to so I thought you meant don't. Thanks for being cool with what I'm in to

No clue about motorcycles but those things look neat and win awards. I want one now. Thanks for turning me on to this neat bike.

For whatever it's worth, even if elements of the plot have been recognized as Good Story TM already by other games, that doesn't take away from your idea. Tropes become tropes because people like them. Who knows if you'll ever get to work on this particular idea you've had, but from hearing your idea I feel like you have that sort of knack for good story beats that a writer needs.
