Where do you live that they don't?

I am in the final countdown of our Brindlewood Bay game that I've been GM for a little over a year. Next up is a Dark Age Mage game for that group.

The other night we are playing a version of Battle Bots with house rules after a couple of years of Shadowrun,, originally on 1st Ed modified, later of homebrew simplifications.

We've also played Ultraviolet Grasslands, The Between, Blades in the Dark, and Dungeon World in the last couple of years, along with several house experiments.

The reason Nebula and Dropout work is they are making their own content. Since most anime are sourced from the Manga or Light Novel sources, I don't see an independent streaming company being able to get the rights and $$ to make animated content to stream. Also, animation is both expensive and takes a long time so any independent platform would need 2-4 of funding after making content to be able to survive long enough to make season 2 of anything.

Cops dragged my buddy out of his car and shot him for having his legally owned pistol. How in the fuck are we supposed to resist ICE with guns?

That's different from "should hire some bodyguards"

An attorney is not rich, they make more money than average at around $90-120k a year but not enough to hire 2-4 extra professionals to follow them around plus hazard pay.

In the US, checks are still a common way to give money to people as gifts, especially birthdays and weddings and things like that. Also schools will require extra fees like trip costs to be paid by check because they are paid into older bank accounts that they don't have online payment equivalents.

Paper checks are a pain, but they have lower fees than most other ways of giving money. Once you've paid for the book of papers, that's it. Each check only costs your account the exact amount written for and the recipient's bank gives them the exact amount you wrote. No extra percentage or flat fee on the transaction and with smartphones you can scan the check and make the transaction happen electronically between the banks in 5 seconds. Every other way to do this has a flat or percentage fee for the money to move but a paper check is free.

Because everyday people totally have the money for armed security guards who are willing to shoot Cops for you? Where does one hire these "trustworthy" people?

WTF do you mean? The child lived and died in Trump'a American. This was by design.

Sorry, didn't pay my Netflix cultural tax this year. Maybe I'll sail the sees for it.

It was almost the entirety of AM radio for the past 40 years. Sports and this right-wing trash. On in the background at every work place, hardware store, and cafe until Muzac took over. Had that ranting asshole and his friends pumping into our ears wanting it or not. Many areas of the country had only that and Country Music for hours in any direction.

When I said "if you knew what you were doing" I meant you can build an AM receiver out of literal trash with a middle school understanding of electrics but no one bothered because you had one built in to every car, every tape player, boom box, alarm clock, and anything else with a speaker. You had a radio in every room of the house and 2 in the garage even if you never turned it on. There's no way to believe that phones have less cultural push than AM radio had pre-1990.

So, nothing? You've done nothing.

What work have you turned down? Let's hear your brave tales of resistance so the rest of us know what to do.

If they all have guns then what is the point of arming individually? 1 person with a gun verses several gov agents with guns, the 1 still doesn't have a chance and shooting 1 or 2 of the people coming for you is t gonna change that. It's not like the government is gonna back off "Oh shit the liberals got guns now, better stop pushing them."

I want to know what method these anti-science whack jobs are going to use to determine this cause? If you didn't like all the research the experts did into the underlying causes, WTF you gonna do differently?

Rush Limbaugh was broadcast on the free radio, you could listen to it on $1 worth of junk parts if you knew what you were doing. The ease of access is not what made republican bigotry accessible or popular.

This is called the tensor timpani and I just learned from my hypermobilty support group that it's super common in people with hypermobilty disorders generally to be able to move them. Look up Beighton scale and give yourself a quick check.

Finding out I was hypermobile lead to me discovering my ADHD wasn't inattention, but highly variable blood pressure and a wonky vagal nerve condition. Changed my meds, changed my life.

They actually swapped which color was representing which party in election years on TV until the 2000 election. The election coverage went on until the almost the end of that year due to contested Presidential Election that went to the Supreme Court but the concept of "red states" and "blue states" was burned into the collective memory so hard they just stayed like that afterwards.

PA we had an option to get a RealD but you could only go to particular DMV locations and you had to bring 3x the paperwork.

Group homes and supervised living are still a possibility for you. Discuss it with your social worker or even your parole officer. There are still plenty of options for what you are looking for but they aren't often forced by the courts like what you're thinking of when you think asylum.
