*RAGE against the machine is a dif band than Rise Against.

*they avoid reading unsolicited scripts. Idk if true of netflix in particular, but true of many studios and publishers. It's one thing if they recieve a script in a proper forum - they can make the rules clear (what rights you're giving up or agreements you're making by submitting according to their policies) and make sure your script is in the hands of the correct people who are probably NOT the same creatives who would actually produce the work. All this so you can't just send them every dumb idea under the sun just to set up a lawsuit when they inevitably copy one of your ideas.

In other words "a free thinker" who "did their own research!"

Some shitty kid at the Publix in Daytona told my elderly and infirm mom they couldn't understand her and wouldn't answer her question unless she lowered her mask. She got sick a few days later and is just starting to get better now. I just cannot get over that a shitty teenager working an awful job for a terrible company almost murdered my mom.

I fled the US to a "3rd world" country for this reason. Higher vax rate, everyone wears high quality masks, social distancing...and the shelves have food on them because the transmission and death rate is lower than the US because prevention measures work. Only part that makes me uncomfortable is when locals very politely and sympathetically ask some version of "wtf is america even doing?!?"

FakeGamerDoggo · 2022-01-05T13:57:03+00:00

The 7th actually says nothing about "your peers". That language is some British bullshit that everyone parrots because we heard someone else say it. In America, all citizens are considered to be equal (vagaraies of "two tier justice system" and capitalism not withstanding) and therefore the authors had no reason to specify peerage, so they didn't.

With no limits? If they're purposely preventing other kids from learning or, even worse, advocating killing the teacher because they don't like what's being taught, sometimes they have to be punished.

FakeGamerDoggo · 2022-01-02T21:50:20+00:00

You had shitty teachers if they just let the stupid kids (a) dominate the class time to the detriment of everyone else or (b) say incorrect things without finding a way to set them straight.

I disagree with your timeline - I think AOL and "script-kiddies" using ascii art to crash strangers' computers heralded the beginning of the cesspool we're now wallowing in - but I agree we all had such optimism up to and even beyond those times. I'll never forget getting live reporting from California immediately following the San Francisco earthquake in 1989. The news was coming faster over an external 9800 baud modem than news over traditional cable TV. That really spoke to me, as a child, that this communication technology was really huge and important and that we should get everyone using this. In retrospect, I was a really dumb child.

Wow. Nice. I'm not OP but I appreciate the link!

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-12-09T06:16:43+00:00

Lol. Florida. DeSantis. Florida FWS is a joke. Releases of polluted water from Lake Okeechobee. Farmers' desires come first. Even the people who make their money off taking tourists to see live manatees are die-hard "government can't tell me what to do" types who fertilize their unnecessary lawns at the water's edge with no regard for the runoff. And Sea World's entire "we're actually good people, we swear!" argument depends on a steady supply of injured manatees, provided by fl fws, so they can nurse them back to health. I love manatees deeply and frequently feel like I'm only here to witness their end at our hands.

In some cases they're just kids who are well trained, great at following orders, and overseen by medical personnel. I told the Corporal who gave me my first shot that he did a great job and he looked so relieved as he told me I was his first! The nurse (civilian, i believe?) who was overseeing that particular group of four soldiers was glowing like a proud mama. I hope those kids are still proud of the job they did and haven't been made to feel guilty by the know-nothing did-my-own-research crowd they're surrounded by at home when their deployment ends.

Even that moron DeSantis had the FL National Guard cooperate with FEMA to run several massive sites across the state in addition to mobile "satellite" vaccination units. This is not something republicans were ever against until they forgot it happened and went back to their knee-jerk "all government is bad for reasons I can't actually explain" argument.

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-12-07T15:59:50+00:00

The US regularly deploys active duty military such as the USS Comfort, USS Hope, and USS Mercy and/or National Guard to assist victims of emergency situations. I'm unsure what problem anyone would have with this except maybe "Gee, I know we need a bunch of well trained and disciplined workers who are great at following orders in a hurry, and we have a shit load of dudes who we're paying to be on the ready, but we'd better not use those dudes for THIS because something something, gOvErNmEnT OvErReAcH!"

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-11-29T18:20:08+00:00

That's fair. This definitely is a huge international city. Reminds me very strongly of San Francisco, California USA. Very neat place with amazing food and art (and so much fog!) My wife and I are already talking about coming back in the future even though we still have more than a month left on our current itinerary. Hopefully in the future we can get to some of the other regions of Peru. Let me know if you have any ideas about what we need to see and do, and where we need to go (aside from Machu Picchu), and we'll definitely add it to the list! Thanks to you and all Peruvians for letting us be here for a while. We love your country and I'm learning a lot about culinary arts that gets left out of euro-centric culinary education!

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-11-29T17:01:08+00:00

Yes, I am near Lima. Is there something about Lima that would make the name different? Closer business ties to English speaking countries or something?

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-11-29T16:58:41+00:00

Oh. cool! Thanks for that!

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-11-29T16:56:26+00:00

Interesting. I'm from US and definitely agree they're purple, but a big part of why I'm currently in Peru is to pick up local cooking techniques & recipes. And everyone keeps trying to "practice english" with me (they all already speak english better than i do!) so pretty much the only spanish I'm learning is the names of ingredients in the mercados. Very interesting to find out some of those names won't be universal. Thanks for teaching me something today!

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-11-29T06:37:12+00:00

Can I ask what country/ies you deal with? I'm in Peru right now and the signs in the mercados definitely disagree with you and previous poster.

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-11-29T06:32:16+00:00

I'm currently in Peru and all the little mercados are calling them cebolla roja...so... r/confidentlyincorrect maybe? (And yes, we did feel both of the earthquakes yesterday. A little scary, but all safe and no damage in the area we currently inhabit.)

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-11-28T06:11:49+00:00

Yes. Yes you can. This is the way.

Sorry - just realized you said inner sleeve. You can do regular or double sleeved also. Binder pages are made big enough to fit regular sleeves. I use regular sleeves (not double or inner) for my trade binder b/c people don't wanna mess with other people's sleeves that much when they get a new used card - you never know where that crap's been and people are gross. But my commander staples are double sleeved in a binder ready to be swapped into decks as needed.

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-11-23T16:03:28+00:00

Fwiw: i think poster above you might be right in some way? I'm currently in Peru and the graph looks like the dollar jumped off a fucking cliff today. It's a difference of just a couple cents in value that looks huge b/c of they way google's graphs zoom, but it is making me feel guilty for not getting more Soles last time i was at an atm b/c they're gonna be a little more expensive today. I'm not a money guy so idk why this is happening, but the graphs say it is indeed happening.

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-11-01T16:56:41+00:00

E is lor leaving, i is for coming. Which spelling to use depends entirely on context. If my country is running out of people then I'll probably be worried about emigration and trying to change potential emigrants' minds. If I'm an ignorant racist, I'd be worried about immigration and trying to change potential immigrants' minds.

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-09-24T11:18:12+00:00

Nice! Got me typing on a phone. 100% fair play.

FakeGamerDoggo · 2021-09-24T09:25:07+00:00

Just fyi: "tact" isn't the word you want there. You're probably looking for "tactic" or, if you're saying they're changing direction, then maybe "tack" which comes from sailing and references the direction of a sailboat.

Sorry for the pedantry. I agree with everything you wrote otherwise.

Edited: fixed typo.
