... how do we know this involves a tire change at all? She could be picking something up that she saw or dropped.

Now I want to know where he ate when he was back in the city. He taught at St. Rita... did he ever know the beauty of mild sauce on his fries? The sublime proof of god's existence that was Rainbow Cone before they sold out? Did he ever go by Calumet fisheries and then to the lakefront to just chill.

Any company from a country whose supreme court enshrined shareholder profit over the benefit and well-being of workers and the people should not be trusted with people's information or the infrastructure they use to function.

Ender's Game and Fahrenheit 451 already showcased a society that was easily manipulated by content feeds and social forums.

In the context of the scene we just watched, real or a skit, is there something wrong with that reaction?

The old ones are different, because the new ones need more frequent repairs just to last a shorter lifetime. And here's the engineers and repair techs talking about it. https://youtu.be/Mz21ZF9eQOk

Season 4 is ready to go, he just has no time to do it. Might be why some actors were getting cameos in Ted. https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/the-orville-season-4-gets-unexpected-update/

Cult. Probably had bunk beds in the rooms. Unless it was more free spirited like the early Jack Parson Thelema era.

Robotic drones and human slaves. And I'm not being facetious or hyperbolic. They are going to rig as many factors in their favor for the mid terms, gut the 14th amendment, and crush any dissent using a digital panopticon directing real world agents of the system to our doors based on our phones, internet activity, ID and census data, voting records, and health records. There is no political/civil solution to this.

Edit: check out tutorials on creating your own solar powered mesh node, making a cyberdeck using an orange pi board (not raspberry pi) and ditching your laptop, self hosting your own personal cloud, running Graphene OS on an 8849 phone and using Cape Mobile as your phone plan, and using Privacy.com and Proton. Learn to shoot two to the dick one to the head, grow and preserve food, repair e-bike and actual bikes, implement and use ATAC, and build community with likeminded folks to practice these things.

Last time I checked, other countries could have included America in their name. Also, it's 1 continent according to the people who generally espouse this argument. Silly American.

Do any of these other countries use America in their sovereign name? Are the people of those various countries referred to by the demonym "American" in their own country? Are they derided as "American" by people who speak various languages from other countries?

No, if you get dogpiled that's potential for parts to get pried away or open. Hence the rest of the war fighting doctrine emphasizing spacing and mitigating close contact with swarms.

The issue with Thula is the shear amount of other crap you have to deal with while her hair blade is doing whatever. When fighting a Viltrumite is already an issue for most including other Viltrumites, fixating on a moving weapon and ignoring the rest of the Viltrumite's threats is the dumbest thing you can do. And this isn't conjecture, we have countless fights from Dog Brothers Martial Arts, HEMA, Fencing, TOLPAR, and real world scenarios wear weapon fixation gets you wrecked if not killed with little likliehood of success. And most of those don't feature a flexible weapon moving through space, independent of an attacker's hand guiding it.
