I took it as “I voted against a bill that would cut off defensive munitions funding but not offensive munitions funding.”

Yeah, but how far will it go if you try to power it with gasoline?

It’s harder to tell a woman she’d be prettier if she smiled if you can’t see her mouth.

Well at least it’s a calm, painless illness prior to death, right?

I lost access to my PSN account because they want me to do third-party verification with an authorization app that I apparently had linked to it like a decade ago, but don’t know what it was.

Their alternative verification is to verify purchase histories on my PSN account, which is hard to do when the whole problem is I can’t access my PSN account.

Good thing rabies is easily treatable if you don’t bother with testing, right?

Public funding of unbiased news is complicated. That can very easily turn into propaganda if the government can decide what is or is not biased. In fact, any arbiter of bias can turn it into propaganda. But if there’s nobody who can regulate it, then biases will go unchecked, all while being paid for.

I don’t know where the balance is. PBS is great, but I think it’s because their funding also includes private donations from individuals who value their product.

There’s a lot of rot, but they’ve been depending on a cluster of personality. Those often collapse when the personality dies without a sucessor with popular support, which requires the cult leader to groom the public to their sucessor.

Claudius wasn’t 2nd in command. He was way down the list.

And the first thing he did as emperor was execute some of the Praetorians for being overzealous when cleaning house.

I mean… the first instance of that was replacing Caligula with Claudius. It just kinda went south after that.

And then there was quantum.

I think it would still techically be more hole since a larger total area would be hole.

I would be fewer holes, though.
