That's the difference between my first and second marriage in a nutshell. Moving away (psychologically, not physically) from all the horrible shit I grew up with and thinking that was normal to having a better understanding of what I want to have in my life and some idea of how to get there.

Tough place to be. Really, who's going to give away a working Brother printer?

I saw that image and was a little confused about the message that was being conveyed. This little conversation between you two helped clarify things and was enough impetus to follow the imgur link. Thank you both!

...any I happen to get for free and I have no other working printers. I have a Brother color laser, so they have nothing I want.

I could buy this. Also, the fonts are very jarring and intrusive. I rarely want to view what's behind the spoiler tag, just give me a line for bias and a line for credibility, no need to be bold and a smaller font if anything, and hide the rest behind the spoiler tag if I'm interested. I already know where MBFC's bias is, and I can adjust that to get an idea that when they say left, I think center or maybe left-center.

All of that seems pretty reasonable to me, but not if your goal is advertising...

I've actually read some books that did this well, like needing to sneak around after moon set or continuing to travel after moon rise.

There are some linked articles that provided more information. The superintendent was fired days before a pride parade that was promoted by the division and the MMF. There are a number of conflicting claims surrounding his dismissal, which will probably get ironed out in court. The usual reason for banning flags is the suppress the promotion of something you don't like, otherwise taste and relevance would be sufficient. Someone needs to start finding perfectly legitimate flags to be flown that don't meet their criteria, such as city flags, sister city flags, flags for Saskatchewan in towns near the border, etc., until the rule is made to look completely absurd or they say out loud exactly what they are bigoted against. If nothing else, it will tie them up dealing with inane topics so they don't have as much time to do more harmful things.

My guess, based on the related articles, is that they want to ban the MMF and/or pride flags.

I honestly never thought of Xi as a hothead. This could be my bias or lack of awareness. I'd say he has a fragile ego, sure. Do you have any examples to show why you believe that?

I think if enough people did it, Anubis would grow to like cheese.

But, again, all they can prove is that you signed up to Signal and when you last signed in.

That was testing a new missile, so not exactly the same thing. It still doesn't inspire confidence, and the maintenance levels of the rest of their military doesn't inspire confidence in the readiness of their existing nuclear arsenal.

The suicide bag uses a similar process as the suicide pod, but is very much DIY. Shouldn't be too uncomfortable unless you're claustrophobic.
