I believe you it just sounds like something made up by a Hollywood screenwriter. We need unobtanium to house the time crystal.

That was actually what my initial response was going to be! Then I checked the definition and saw it wasn’t even necessary to argue at the molecular level.

Time crystal? Come on. Really.

This sooo much. I’m not a tech person but I’m trying to learn because the giant corporations are clearly evil. I just want to have a modicum of privacy in my corner of the world so here I am trying to figure out how to self host some basic services.

This seemed a little sus to me so I checked the dictionary. Merriam-Webster says wet can mean consisting of liquid such as water. (See 1a of screen capture).

Super excited to hear all of the Republican ghouls call out this domestic terrorism.

Well.

I’m waiting…

Shareholders want the line to go up. Trapping everyone into endlesss subscriptions is a great way to guarantee revenue.

I think OP of the post is correct. Play the video in slow motion and watch the grey coat guy. He approaches with empty hands and appears to retrieve a weapon from the suspect’s back and is walking away with it before the first shot is fired.

So the suspect was likely unarmed when the shooting starts.

The second amendment of the U.S. constitution guarantees the rights of citizens to bear arms. Many liberals support stricter gun laws so that there are stronger background checks, limits, etc in order to try and reduce mass shootings, etc. The right wing folks are generally the opposite, trying to remove limits and make them accessible.

So no, you cannot evoke the second amendment as a defense for shooting anyone. It would only be a potential legal defense against laws limiting gun ownership. The second amendment says you can own a gun, not that you can shoot people with them.

As for the state’s monopoly on violence, that pretty much stands except in clear cut cases of self defense. So if someone were to shoot an ICE agent (and survive the situation to make it to trial), it would have to be some pretty extraordinary circumstances that would allow the person to avoid conviction of a crime.

Just skimmed part of those links and… wow what a looney.

Finally. THIS is the content I’m here for.

They don’t have any shame. Have you not been paying attention?

Same for me. I really really dug the atmosphere, art, all of it. But I got to mid game and it just felt like a slog all of a sudden. Kept putting it off and then never came back to it.

I’m no expert but I don’t think that’s how bell curves work.
