I don’t want purity tests because we, on the left, are incapable of reaching a consensus on much of anything. If we can’t agree to tolerate a limited amount of disagreement with each other, we can’t work together on the things we do agree on, and those things tend to be kind of important.

Do battlecruisers count?

To the surprise of no-one.

Tampons weigh nothing

When you’re dealing with the tyranny of rocketry, every gram matters.

That said, I agree with your point. The mass and volume was well within acceptable mission parameters.

Are there any Russian workplace comedy?

In this example, the child is living, and has needs.

Very nice.

How about those Epstein files?

So any citizen can call up and request the river be raised so their family can take a boat trip?

I can see that, but I’ve always expected tidal waves to be far more destructive. This is, as you say, an astonishing amount of movement, but nothing like I was expecting to see.

Am I missing a joke?

No European law applies outside Europe. That’s kind of the nature of laws.

Do they not have flatbed tow trucks?

According to Seaspan, Moffatt’s EV was denied boarding on their barge because it was inoperable and not on a flatbed tow truck or trailer.

I maintain that bathrooms should be strictly segregated between “talking” and “shutting the hell up.”

The government should be obligated to shield them from the causes of climate change. But I suppose that ship had sailed.

No research needed. Getting back to the routine, after a suitable period that varies from person to person, is important. But it is not, in itself, healing, and someone who didn’t miss a day of work is not doing well.

Oh certainly. But it’s treating a symptom, not the actual problem.

That’s not healthy, though. That’s repression, which is bad for you. I know it’s bad for you, as I have not had more than six emotions in the past 20 years.

Disagree. The DM should provide some sort of reason for the party to come together. Some sort of external influence, to bring in any characters that don’t start the game together.

But it is the duty of the player to roll with it. Don’t fight the plot hook. What’s the point?

Oh, infuriating, certainly.

That’s amazing is it? That they (grudgingly) take care of us while we are doing what they want, and hurt us until we fall in line when we don’t?

Seems a bar has been lowered while I wasn’t looking.
