What is 2000s club night if not an immersive historical re-enactment?

Generally speaking trafficking is bringing something into a place where it is not allowed to be

So in your first example, you are allowed to watch that kid, and both of you are allowed to be in that state and to see a movie, so no, you are not trafficking

Similarly if you are allowed to have that gun in both states then you are not trafficking. Additionally in the US if a case involves crimes across states it's typically a federal charge and not multiple state ones

People can be trafficked against their will for slavery purposes or by their will as a form of illegal immigration. You can even "traffic" legal goods like cigarettes if you transport them without paying all applicable taxes. It's a catch-all term for transporting things that a place does not want to let in. Typically the term is only used for bulk transportation, smaller amounts tend to have other more specific crimes

You ever see someone living your dream and think "damn, I wish I was a raccoon?"

That's super normal. It's important to remember objects don't have any importance behind what we assign to them. If you still value that relationship maybe you can find a way to preserve it physically like the other commenters have suggested or it may be time to acknowledge that portion of your life is over and this can be symbolic closure. I have a beautiful handmade quilt from an ex-girlfriend and I haven't seen her in almost a decade yet I keep it because the meaning behind it at the time is still important to me

An important thing to remember in these situations: "you cannot control your emotions, but you can control your reaction to them and allow that to shape you in the future"

I've got the same shit happening. I don't like audiobooks but there's a series I like where the third is an audible exclusive. So I have to pay money to Amazon for a service I don't want if I want to read that book

Personally I pirate my books and if there's one I particularly like then I'll go find the author and give them money directly. Most have a substack/patreon/ko.fi and they get more money

Doing a lot of heavy lifting there

Pimento cheese and a slice of tomato grilled on buttered sourdough. A southern classic

Recently PLUR1BUS seems alright, one of the characters in the show even argues that things are better

"Don't, don't, don't let's start

This is the worst part

Could believe for all the world

That you're my precious little girl

But don't, don't, don't let's start

I've got a weak heart

And I don't get around how you get around"

Admittedly I am neither an expert on space nor data centers, however I was under the impression that both shared the same 2 primary problems: access to equipment and waste heat management. Despite space being "cold" it actually acts more as an insulator than as a heat sink. I don't understand what adding air based signal latency and worse thermal management will do to fix their problems, not that I inherently think these problems needs solving

Alternatively, you could just not commit a pile of felonies in the first place
