Is this is a crime in your country?
Presumably I'd at least end up on a list from this post, or if I already am on there, they'd add an underline.

That is in fact not a crime in the relevant country:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_Protection_Act
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_desecration
Flag desecration is legal in the United States and carries no criminal or civil penalties. Based on Wikipedia's list, the US is more progressive on this issue than most other countries.
Is it "progressive" to not ban flag desecration? I would just call it "not idiotic."
Progressive just means not idiotic before everyone else
People consider things like women's rights progressive, but I would just call that common sense.
Anything that improves upon the status quo or moves the needle in a positive direction is progressive. That's the definition of progress.
That's what progressive means in the U.S. It's why the idiots are so afraid of it.
Seems like a very clear and appropriate use of language to me.
Yay I also live in a green yes country, cue Bon Jovi 💪🏿💪🏿
Actually it's about a different country, gawd
This is by far the most extreme one:
Oops, time to fire up zomboid again
Build 42 stable is out! It's very good! The map is so much nicer now.
Totally. I had a few runs on it while it was in the unstable branch and the new mechanics are great, but firing it up after the stable release and seeing all the love put into older map locales really made it feel like a brand new game.
Wow thats tuff what changed ill chrck it out later today i think
They rebuilt the entire map, hired a huge new map team. Added a bunch of animations and lighting stuff, like light sources actually spilling through windows and such, as well as a ton of new crafting and building skills and items. You can make your own castle and forge a suit of metal armor if you really wanted. Good luck on grinding the masonry and blacksmithing though.
The skill grinding yeah. Sound fun tho :)
It's against flag code; which isn't a set of laws. Just respectful guidelines.
If you want to dispose of your flag according to flag code: You have to burn it. May I suggest throwing it into an oven along with a full gas can? Dispose of your old flag and possibly take down an entire neighborhood of zombies in the resulting house fire. 😤
You have to cut the star square off and each individual stripe. Then you can burn it.
Project Zomboid spotted! Build 42 is awesome and I fucking love the ragdoll physics when I run them over now
Been playing almost exclusively with Slayer's Week One, and while it has some extra jank with 42 Stable (the plane crash in particular), it's still so damn fun. Half the time even just finding basic exploits with the NPC AI. I'm really tempted to start a run with the chaos mod to see how I fare in the 7 seconds I remain alive 🧟♂️
I'll have to turn that back on and see if it still tanks performance. When they first added ragdolls, every now and then some random chunk of meat or a whole body would be stuck in the ground tripping the fuck out and getting spaghetified which dropped the framerate down to single digits. 🤣
Honestly depends on gender/race/socio-economic background at this point.
You should be fine. Just make sure to seperate and put stars & stripes into their designated bins.
That's not a crime in any county as far as i know, just bad etiquette in the US.
Yes. In my country we must put all keys on our keychain to properly organise our inventory.
Soon...
Your supposed to burn it.
"when an American flag is worn out and no longer fit for display, it should be retired in a dignified way. The preferred method is ceremonial burning, but you can also bury it"
My city takes garbage to landfills, so it would be burying, just with a few extra steps
HOW DARE YOU SIR!
Why, I fought in two dozen galactive wars for that flag, but I'll fight tooth and nail in court for him - if it weren't for the fact that I lost my teeth and nails in 06'.
Of course. All american flags must be properly recycled.
What about the ones Made in China?
They're all made in chyna. Anyway, same laws apply. The constitution ain't supposed to be optional.
While it is, the only time I remember it being relevant in the news, the person responsible (Māori activist Tāme Iti) got firearm charges instead:

Only if it is in public.
