Centuries of fire suppression across the state have led to massive fuel stockpiles for fires. Controlled burns have been recommended and blocked for decades.

It's Australia (of course) they have fire hawks that will try to use fire to flush out prey at times.

That you may have to get the justice system involved to support your rights. I suppose you can call that a consequence.

This is why don't feed the trolls was a popular refrain. Those people want a response, and banning is a response. It's a tough line for moderation though, and why shadow banning exists.

You are free to walk down the streets of Harlem with an "I hate niggers" sign. The law still protects you from assault or other actions that others may take against you. You may get fired from your job for such an action, but even then you would still have the right to pursue a wrongful dismissal case.

As for libel/slander. First of all, it's a civil issue, and you won't be jailed for it. Secondly, in the US it requires a significant burden of proof. A plaintiff must show it was more likely than not that:

• there were actual damages.
• the statements were false.
• the person knew the statements were false.
• the person intended the statements to be harmful.
  There's also anti-SLAPP laws which provide additional protection from entities attempting to use a lawsuit to stop speech.

Yep the no alcohol makes no sense, public drunkenness or alcoholism are different, but alcohol use is pretty common. It's not just the water to wine thing, there's also the last supper where he essentially gave a toast of "continue to toast in my name."

The knork is a dessert/cake fork.

Masculinity has been defined as toxic by default for many.

It would be 10x worse than brexit for California to secede.

I had a professor who went by Bill, because he was a William Williamson.

That's actually the origin of several last names like Smith. Carpenter, Miller, Cooper, waller, Fisher, Chandler, Carter, black, and barker are believed to have originated from professions.

Again the miracle was a beer run for a wedding, soni think celebration and drinking can go together.

For the alcohol thing, it's mostly about excess. Otherwise you have to ignore the first miracle Jesus performed was essentially a beer run.

Old reddit culture was just watered down b culture.

Jail was never an option.

There's a balance to be managed and valve is on the extreme end of no release pressure.

They get paid, so it's more like serfs.

If you want to jumpstart a sleep hygiene routine, complete physical exhaustion will help.

Join on time to virtual meetings. If you are hosting or setting up a room, then you can join a bit early. If it's a large meeting like a company or division wide one maybe even join a minute late.

Waiting around on an empty zoom is a massive waste of time.

It's going to be a flagship game that releases with a newer engine. Maybe ES6 will be that game. A less hopeful take is that the success of ESO is going to prevent them releasing anything else in the universe until it dies.
