When the threat is already inside the house, yes, that is an option. Not our first option, for reasons that I hope are obvious, but we would not be the first nor the last country to strike out at fascism within their own borders. If they've entrenched themselves enough that a civil war becomes what is required to oust them, then that is what will happen. That, or else we lose what remains of the shambling corpse of America fully to the fascists.

When they are openly threatening violence against non-supporters, which they already are actively doing, the question simply becomes: will you fight, or will you die? And that question is being asked of every single American right now whether they are listening or not. No fight means that fascism siezes control without being contested. That "fight" takes many forms, including voting, but also up to and including armed violence should it become necessary. And the talking points being regurgitated by my local right wing goons is making armed violence sound alarmingly necessary. As in, armed violence is very likely about to be brought to me and my family and folks like us, and I can either expect it and respond accordingly or I and people I love can get predated upon.

I know which of those I'm choosing when violence knocks down my door. I won't start this fight, but you can be damn sure that I'll finish it. Will you?

And while you're busy making this PR to fix a problem that you haven't been authorized on, you're falling behind on current tickets.

The only way to realistically make this happen at most companies is if you're doing work for your company on off time, and, generally speaking, never ever do that for any reason unless you're being paid for on-call.

I'm not in the industry anymore, but every time I raised an issue to the boss that got ignored, I used to like to keep a little folder where I'd print the emails or just take notes about the issue, the proposed fix, and when and why it got rejected.

Then, 8 months later when everything is on fire, I could point at the date February 12, where at 3:40 PM I raised this specific issue that got ignored.

It never benefitted me, not once, in fact I sincerely think my boss at the time thought I was a smug little prick. Which was fair, I was one. But credit where it's due, every time I brought the folder back out, he'd get a look like he just swallowed a mug full of cold piss and tell me I was right. That's all I really wanted out of that folder anyway.

What if you were blind using a screen reader

They do still have the option to remain silent, though, as per the spell text. It doesn't compel an answer, it only compels any spoken word to be the truth as you know it.

  • Can the bread make a will save?

  • No, you're still prone. You used Dimension Slide, not Dimension Rotate.

  • Will a Limited Wish spell prevent you from being brain damaged?

Yeah but I have a friendly cleric. Zone of Truth doesn't care about how you feel regarding your interrogation.

Only hit them once. You can hit any chest with any weapon once without breaking the contents. If it doesn't wake up, it's safe to open.

Just don't hit 'em twice by accident.

This is actually one of very few valid cases for an LLM, to help sponsorblock determine ad segments by analyzing the word choice and speech patterns in segments of the video.

If you were going to enjoy Ghost of Tsushima you're almost certainly going to enjoy Sekiro. Seriously, give it a go. It's not as intimidating as you think, I promise.

Hundreds of elden ring messages that just say "grass" or "time for grass" in random locations suddenly make sense now

The problem is apparently having someone in office that will live long enough to actually reap what they sow. I didn't used to think this would ever be a thing we'd have to be worried about, but, here we are. Environmental issues in particular hit this note I think.
