YES. Finally nailing down clear, specific borders will help quite a bit.

Understood. No apology necessary, friend!

Type 1 diabetes requires you to watch your insulin levels constantly or DIE. I’d say that’s more than an “inconvenience”.

Paleontologist Barbie is pretty cool.

Yeah. There could very well be some bottom feeder who sees this as an opportunity.

The company was also exploring rolling out an X credit or debit card, the Financial Times reported last month.

Bahahahaha! In order to do that, they’d have to find a financial institution willing to work with an owner who sues at the drop of an hat, and take on enormous risk. Good luck with that.

I would imagine that they’d forget most of what they learned the second they realized they were drowning. Panic would shut their brain down.

Maybe, if they recover somewhat and manage to doggie-paddle or something, they’ll remember a useful sentence or two.

U.S.

If police were the honest, fair, law-abiding heroes they’re presented as, this would be a much simpler question.

Ideally, I’d choose to replace the police (not merely slap an “under new management” banner on the police station) with a MUCH more transparent and just organization that genuinely serves and protects the public.

I also don’t think there’s enough of an emphasis on safety regarding public ownership of guns. All laws need to be tightened, standardized between states, and loopholes need to be firmly closed. I know we Americans have been taught that gun ownership is an important constitutional right, but I think that in 250 years, guns have proven to do much more harm than good. Decisions on gun laws need to make public safety their primary consideration.
