Maybe.

You mention farmers. They already have co-ops. If you've lived around those communities you know people can get apeshit about a semi of corn that might be a little wet.

I wouldn't want to be on the local board that has to settle the account for aunt murtle's 5th round of lung cancer while she's on O2 and still on a pack a day. It's easier to set guide rails - actually moral and responsible ones like not giving liver transplants to people with bac - when you didn't grow up with aunt murtle's kids.

Med time people from other non-union locations. It's been reported the scabs are getting a higher rate, hotel, and other per diem benefits. On top of bringing in green people who haven't done a horse tumble.

Give a donation to the picketers, maybe same or more than the tickets. Don't need to make a point about it, but talk to kids and wife.

I don't know the body of work, but this video seems to be about news and social media fear mongering for clicks and how that's bad. Obvious stuff.

There's also a point or two about a personality cult being misquoted causing radicals to act. I understand the context here to be middle eastern, but there's a little bit of 1/6 denial undertone.

"...if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore..."

"[We must] head to the squares and streets of the Arab and Islamic world on Friday"

They both seem pretty inflammatory to me and are just evil enough for a crazy to decide it's time activate. Just benign enough to be denied if something happens.

Right? That was some Alanis Morissette 3rd chorus material.

Maybe you're asking a rhetorical question. Just in case you're not, you don't have to take anyone's word for it you can just go see for yourself:

Modlog has some spicy stuff. I've made a shit post or two but this is next level:

mod Removed Comment What if I told you that Israel was part of a Nazi experiment to solve the problem of "stateless Jews," who were thought to undermine the authority and good order promoted by government. Turns out, all you have to do to turn a Jew into a Nazi is to give him a plot of land and tell him that it's his inheritance from God. ! by @TrismegistusMx reason: Hate speech

Is this meow?

psaltery

noun

an ancient and medieval musical instrument like a dulcimer but played by plucking the strings with the fingers or a plectrum.

Politeness is like a weapon. Made me remember a speech adjacent to the topic that I like. There's a bit by Cleese that explains this feeling. He calls is "solemn" instead of polite. I think propriety falls into the same camp. Tradition as well. No matter what this thing is called it isn't wielded with good intention:

i think we all know that laughter brings relaxation and that humor makes us playful yet how many times have important discussions been held where really original and creative ideas were desperately needed to solve important problems but where humor was taboo because the subject being discussed was so serious this attitude seems to me to stem from a very basic misunderstanding of the difference between serious and solemn now i suggest to you that a a group of us could be sitting around after dinner discussing matters that were extremely serious like the education of our children or our marriages or the meaning of life and i'm not talking about the film and we could be laughing and that would not make what we were discussing one bit less serious solemnity on the other hand i mean i don't know what it's for i mean what is the point of it the two most beautiful memorial services that i've ever attended both had a lot of humor and it somehow freed us all and made the services inspiring and cathartic but solemnity it serves pomposity and the self-important always know at some some level of their consciousness that their egotism is going to be punctured by humor that's why they see it as a threat and so dishonestly pretend that their deficiency makes their views more substantial when it only makes them feel bigger

Let's do a slavery.

Nice having a big keyboard

If someone asks you if you like pe, do you say yes? Or, do you say, yes expect for the borderline csam?

Meanwhile, her younger sister Eve (a genetic clone of Aya) is an example of the inverse, as when she was rescued she was chronologically only 2-3 years old but had the appearance and behavior of a preteen girl. Ten years later on the day of Aya's wedding, Eve still looked about the same age instead of aging into a 20-something, even though by now she'd graduated from college. In the ending, it's revealed that the person the player has been controlling is actually Eve in Aya's body. She permanently takes over after Aya's death, making her a young teen in an 38-year-old body that looks 20.

The woman in that game is an adult in a child's body. Skip this one.

I think it's easier to believe that powerful people saw it as an opportunity to control a popular social space for controlling discourse and dissent. Western folks might not think of it much, but social media did some good before. One Egyptian dude even named his daughter Facebook. Some of these places still have literal kings.

I think there's a 3rd option that he knows he's making it shitty and horrible and it is on purpose and was the goal. Maybe not always. It might have started as stupid posturing, but it seems like there's goals now and there's buy in from authoritarian parties.

God with a thick rock hard dick under them robes, just throbbing at the thought of sending dogs to eat babies

Most space fiction is science fantasy not science fiction. Made up things like gravity assist are essentially as rational as if they were casting a gravity spell. There's nothing useful in rationalizing the fiction about how a gravity spell makes you lean. It just looks cool and sells the emotion and experience to the audience.
