Pretty Super Decathlon. I'm jealous. Even if I'm too susceptible to motion sickness to do aerobatics myself.
Someone once said that a day spent flying doesn't count against your allotment. I think they're right. Go have many more like it!

The entire point of decentralization is that the platform is designed and intended to maximize freedom of speech, including speech you disagree with.

I don't know. What I do know is that they are going to be disappointed when they learn - likely the hard way - that Bluesky is, first and foremost, a platform for free speech, and the kind of censorship they used to enjoy from Twitter before Musk bought it will never happen here, by design.

He is sure living rent-free in a lot of heads. And the movie has gotten well over 100 million views, so obviously some people care.

What I expect this site to be is a haven for free speech of all political varieties. That's explicitly why Jack Dorsey funded it. The woke Marxists are not going to have it all to themselves, like they did Twitter before Musk bought it out.

My definition is simple: any law that focuses on the tool instead of the hand that holds it is not sensible. Outlawing specific weapons? Outlawing magazines over a certain arbitrarily selected capacity? Requiring major hoops to get a suppressor? Taking someone's guns without due process of law? No.

I guess you missed the drag performances that were school field trips that were done without parents' informed consent, then.

Because your definition of "sensible" and mine - and that of a lot of law-abiding gun owners - do not coincide.
It's like "common sense" gun laws. They're common sense only to gun grabbers.
