If it were ICE's streets, no one would be protesting

The People have shown whose streets they are

A lot of people will be uncomfortable for awhile and the people need to take back the power

Doomerism is exactly what the administration wants you to be, you have handed power over to the authoritarians, they live rent free in your head

Who's streets?

My parents are pacifists, we were never allowed weapon shaped object

I always play off my lack of ever shooting a gun as: "if I never shoot a gun, I can never shoot myself"

People argue this straight up logic (it's not about my depression)

No matter how safe you think you are, guns are not safe

Old beliefs around mother's milk being good for eye injuries brought to the modern day

It probably doesn't help that if your tooth is knocked out putting it in milk is recommended

NATO is literally the way Greenland protects itself against China and Russia ... NATO

If the world were so predetermined by the present moment, then progress would never happen and nothing would ever improve

I refuse to just give up and give in, seems like a self defeating mentality

We had it running in the University Mac and Linux lab I ran at the time - well in 1999 to 2001

Totally agree this is a valid worry of the end game but I do think that people will be pressured to "help" the cause by invalidating valid votes as much as possible

That precursor sets the stage for declaring victory amongst fraud and also might just be enough to get the vote they desire first

My favorite parts about predicting volcanoes and about bear encounters is that they both end the same way:

We don't know what to predict, anything _could_ happen
Scientists say a “swarm of earthquakes” beneath Halemaumau Crater could impact further lava fountains at Kilauea.

"all the vents fountaining"

not "all the vents were fountaining"

I assumed she spelled it marybeth (no spaces)

All the vents fountaining

The average rate was ~250 cubic yards per second

Episode 40 produced 7.1 million cubic yards of lava

Is a day without lava really even a day to be had?
