Most important error is that you have AI results set to show instead of hide.

I look forward to every aspect of objective reality and lived experience having to be litigated. The future is so exciting!

I've actually been using the cars analogy for a couple months now and I think it's very fitting. Imagine if you were a mechanic who owned an auto shop and your average customer call went something like this:

Customer: My car isn't working and I need you to fix it immediately, this is an emergency
Mechanic: Alright sir what seems to be the problem?
Customer: I don't know, I tried to use my car on friday and it didn't work, now it's monday and I need to get to work and I can't and this needs to be fixed right now.
Mechanic: Can you start the car? Can you even get into your car? Does it make any sounds when you try to start it? Are all 4 tires there?
Customer: I don't know, I don't know what any of that stuff means, I tried to get to work and it wouldn't let me and you need to fix it now because you changed my oil 6 months ago.
Mechanic: Alright well what kind of car are you driving?
Customer: I don't know, a green one, why does that matter?
Mechanic: Please take a look at the back of your car and see if there are any letters or numbers that would indicate a vehicle model or manufacturer
Customer: Ok, my car is a SV2 87K.
Mechanic: No sir that's your license plate. My records indicate that you drive a Nissan Altima, can you confirm that the key you're using to try and get into this car says Nissan on it?
Customer: My key says Lexus but I don't see how that makes a difference, I've been using this key on this car for years and it's always worked, what did you do to my car?

"[The] Republicans are selling their soul to win elections. Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. The government won't work without it. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."
-Barry Goldwater (November 1994)

"The big one" can't come soon enough

In 20 years the only people who will remember you worked late will be your kids.
Your job posting will be up before your obituary.

Just remember laws evidently don't hold any real weight anymore so nothing is settled until it's settled. Here's one of many articles about intentions to block back pay: https://apnews.com/article/trump-federal-workers-back-bay-shutdown-785eb776d2312d1f68f7e91961d0a93a

Johnson, a lawyer, said he hadn’t fully read the memo but “there are some legal analysts who are saying” that it may not be necessary or appropriate to repay the federal workers.

Probably Fundamental attribution error. Basically, that we judge others by their actions but ourselves by our intentions.

Even aside from the soap opera-like conversation, the timestamps seem pretty suspect to me. Even assuming STT input it seems unlikely both sides (especially with one being ostensibly emotionally distraught) would be reading and responding within a minute each time.

That website is loaded with ads (of course), has no information about itself/staff, and most of the links in the whole "digital chew" footer don't resolve to anything.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

If they're going to bring such heavy charges carrying such serious prison time for typical protesting actions (or apparel‽) it might just convince some people that any restraint is unnecessary and to "earn" their sentences. I get that the current assumption is that is the unspoken goal to claim additional legal power but there doesn't seem to be much hope left that things won't escalate there even without a "proper" inciting incident.

Anyone upvoting or engaging with this, be less gullible please. Even if this wasn't spam/scam posting what does it have to do with self-hosting?

He didn't insist on a Steam Resonance Imaging test instead?

That engine is definitely woke. I had 269 hits when I searched for "trans" in my car's manual!

I don't have any suggestions for your list, but just wanted to mention if you put two trailing spaces on each line it will preserve your line breaks. Alternatively, using the Markdown list method instead of inserting bullets will also maintain breaks for each item.

#Markdown list style
* item 1
* item 2

Looks like:

• item 1
• item 2

Trailing spaces ("#" == space):
▪︎ item 1##
▪︎ item 2

I saved this comment from u/jlbraun about 13 years ago (would link to the source comment but fuck that site):

As a gun owner, you have to be cool-headed, moreso than the police ever have to be.

You do not start shit, act aggressively, flip the bird, roll your eyes, talk shit, or even raise your voice. To anyone. Ever.

A combat instructor (who happened to be Buddhist and a Marine) once said to me: "From now on, if no one's life is on the line, you will lose every argument. You are always wrong. You are sorry for impinging on their day. You will apologize and apologize again. You will back the fuck down. You will put your tail between your legs. You will let them talk shit about your ladyfriend. You will let them call your mother a bitch and a whore and your dad a bastard. You have no ego. "

"You do all this because if you are the one to start a fight, by default that fight now has a gun in it, and if you start losing, you're going to pull it and kill him. And even if you don't go to jail because you could convince the jury that it was self-defense, you're going to have to live with the fact that you could have saved someone's life and yet you let your ego kill someone."

"You are not the police, so don't act like them. Though all of you [civilians] are better shots than the police, you do not have the training, the continuum of force policy, or a union plus free lawyers protecting you if you screw up."

ed: He also said: "but after backing down and trying to apologize, if at any time you then feel your life or that of a loved one is in danger, put three rounds into his [cardiothoracic] vault, call the police, give a statement, go home, and sleep like a baby. You did all you could for your attacker, and he was the one that made the final decision to kill himself."
