The power required to do it is impressive to say the least.

I guess the other option would be that the signal was created with very close proximity to the broadcast tower requiring much less power, but they probably had a limited area to search.

To me it almost reads like this was a "we technically can, let's test it out!" And it worked.

They might not care, but the courts are not powerless. I keep seeing this sentiment, but I'm continually amazed that people think Trump just ignores it.

The lawsuits and judges making demands arent just words. The problem is that judges do things by the book and most people can't be bothered to sit around and wait for that to happen.

Trump is currently trying to "out run" the courts. He is aware they have power, he's trying to remove that power.

I think you missed the memo that courts can deputize people as they need.

If law enforcement refuses, the court will take necessary action. It's just not very common since the 1800s.

You know, the previous dictator trump and friends are emulating with Temu-quality hardware would have executed his subordinate for something like this to not appear weak.

I wonder what happens next.

A neat fact: the longest filibuster in history was the against the Civil Rights Act in 1957. 24 hours and 18 minutes. Civil Rights Legislation passed two hours later.

Booker has done a 10-day hunger strike, so I imagine he sees that as child's play.

The fuck is a woman doing at a man prison? Is she talking why she talking? What the DEI happened to this country?(/s)

But for real though, A good Nazi is a dead Nazi. Gender doesn't matter.

How to make a martyr in 180 days?

It's really crazy we are literally living in a new type of world.

The wealthy ARE the powerful, but the rest of us out number them to such grand extent that the only way they can remain wealthy is through fear and murder.

There is no war but class war.

Yeah. Honestly, I don't blame you. I have like 3 friends that are guys. Each in stable relationships. Each very respectful people.

Personally? Another reason I haven't had the balls to try and meet women is because of what "masculinity" is. It's wrong. That's what it is.

Just like no one can choose their identity or their sex assigned at birth, I can't choose the fact that I feel natural in my body as a male and im attracted to women. But I can't fulfill the image that is expected of men. Not amongst men, and not amongst women. If loneliness is the curse I get, then so be it. It's better than being someone I'm not.

Yeah, I get that. I've just never heard of it until now, or I was blissfully not thinking about it.

Look my marriage was awful. First, she had undiagnosed ASD. She didn't do much in terms of the therapy she did get. I knew it, of course, looking back at it.

Problem was she was hot. Like really stupid hot. So I believed everything she told me and did everything she wanted. We barely had sex, and it turned into a drug she'd dose me with to keep me addicted. She hated it, until we were in our 20s and was able to get drunk enough overcome her anxieties (which turned out to be a combination of sensory issues and black & white thinking caused by ultra conservative religious background) but still lucid enough to be aware and communicative.

She was constantly angry and frustrated that I wasn't doing enough. I worked full time after graduating college, she didn't. She was incredibly jealous of my friends. Pushed a lot of them a way. Reminded me constantly that I'm not manly, not strong, not fabulously rich, not handy.

Then, after we had a kid, shit got way worse, I gained weight, she got a job, met someone - I still don't know who - and when I took my son with me to visit family she cheated on me. She left her computer on while she went somewhere on my birthday, and I saw the messages. I moved out a month later and on Valentine's she confessed everything and more than I wanted to know. Including the missing protection. Eventually we decide to work it out, she claims she didn't want to. I went through therapy, we maybe slept together twice in 3 years, and after we had spent a year in couples counseling, I catch her sexting the same dude again. After she started to refuse to hand me credit card statements for me to pay.

We're finally divorcing, we've been separated for over a year. But I still care about her because she's the mother of my boy and putting this all together is just warping my mind in ways I thought I had moved beyond.

I just feel like I could have done better. I feel like there was something I could have done to make things easier, or right, or something so that none of what happened did, but then she went back to him anyway. To make it worse, I make so much more money than her, I'm the one that has to pay for everything. She has an affair, but is essentially raped, goes back to the same guy, and I have to pay the consequences. All of them. The suffering with the knowledge of what happened, the stress with work (oh God that's another thing), the anger my boy has at me for moving out, the incredible amount I have to pay just to divorce her and afterwards.

I lost weight. Im down to 200 lbs at 6foot. I didn't want to find out I had a huge dick compared to him but I did. I'm technically successful. Sure. But still being this hurt this long after and something this small triggering the who damn thing again. Really feels like I'm the one who got raped. I know that's not fair. I wasn't. But therapy clearly hasn't done enough. I'm not ready to go out and meet people. I don't even know if I'm a good dad she might be right about that too.

Ugh

Sorry. I don't actually expect anyone to read this whole thing but I guess I needed to say it

That's great, but then how do we know that the grammar matches what we want to do - with some sort of test?

 

Credit goes to my kid for unknowingly creating this masterpiece

3 days... (midwest.social)
 
 

Ever since I was a kid my dreams have been crazy as hell. Last night, I had a dream where I was dropping my kid off at school, but there were people on both sides of the road standing waiting for a wedding. I see the couple and nope right out. Turning around a curb, suddenly I was in a fucking baseball stadium and rows of seats cut me off. I had to get home so I got out of my car? I'm walking down the stairs when I hear "oh, there it is!" I look up where the person was pointing to the sky. I see some rocket like thing, and assumed it was fireworks. It stopped, I hear three dreaded bomb falling noise, and then it slams into a seat a few rows down from the wedding. I hit the deck because I don't want to die. But instead of exploding it sprays enough glitter throughout the stadium I ended up with a mouth full. Then I get out of there, call my mom, explained what happened, head to their house which is now a bunker in new York City and they refuse to believe what I went through. Then I woke up.
