I think this is what I’m looking for. Thank you!

Thanks, but there’s plenty of time for me to screw this up yet!

I did and the one feature she mentioned was that the tiles should be like stones. I guess me figuring it out is part of the gift.

My very own.

Okay, but what’s the space version of the Boo Box?

It mostly makes sense. There are infamous examples of voting being de jure or de facto illegal for groups of people where their suffrage would likely cause significant change. Just look at the USA pre-Civil Rights Act, Rhodesia, Apartheid South Africa, and Israel. I’m sure there are others.

You assume that dolphins don’t already have democracy. If wild dogs have it figured out, then it’s certainly possible, even likely, that dolphins do too. Imagine what a pod of dolphins might vote to do with a land mammal that has the audacity to try and teach them democracy.

I think I understand the spirit of your question, but the way you’ve worded it suggests that the law is immutable and/or that lawbreakers are necessarily evildoers. I interpret the question as “without incarceration, what do we do about those who do harm to others”. To that I would answer that we need institutions and programs that provide various types of care, support, and protection to people and that those who cause harm and do not provide restitution to their victims lose access to those institutions and programs. For example, if a child molester’s house burns down, the fire department would not be expected to try and save them. If it was arson then the arsonist might only get fined for creating an environmental hazard and putting adjacent buildings at risk. The lack of a carceral system would make funding available for the above programs and institutions.

If you would not have called Rhodesia or Apartheid South Africa the good guys then you should not consider Israel to be the good guys either.

Neither. There’s plenty of room and resources here on Earth. I think it’s fine to do space exploration and even have research bases on moons and other planets, but I just don’t see the imperative for colonization.

I don’t have anything especially helpful to share, but maybe it’s not so widely known that anyone can run their own ActivityPub instance and avoid some of the collateral damage caused by other admins.

Whether or not THC affects thyroid hormones, weed use does not show up on a blood test for thyroid function.

I don’t know where you live or the relevant laws, but you should have confidentiality with your doctors and you should not have to hide any drug use from them.

Double entry bookkeeping.

The convos I’ve had haven’t been like that at all. Just normal stuff: talking about jobs, the beers we like, cool stuff we’ve gotten up to. Fellas, is it gay to be gregarious and enjoy the company of other men?

My wife and my buddy who is bi insist that I cannot have normal conversations with other dudes at the alleged gay bar we like to visit sometimes. They say that I am invariably being hit on, but I don’t notice anything like that.

Solution? I never said I had a solution. I am just trying to explain why many people including myself think it is bad to vote for the genocide lady.

After what we’ve allowed and contributed to in Gaza, maybe we don’t deserve another election.

My position isn’t based on counterfactuals. It is that Harris and the Democrats need to be held accountable, by at least losing the election, for complicity to the Palestinian genocide; that it is unconscionable to reward them with another term in the White House.

Over a period of about six years and three US presidential administrations, the death toll in the Yemen war is estimated to have reached 377,000. In just over a year, solely under the Biden-Harris administration, 335,500 are estimated to have died in Gaza. Based on the death rate and the relative sizes of the affected populations, it’s clear who has more blood on their hands. Furthermore, support from the Biden-Harris administration has continued even though Israeli leaders have come right out and admitted their genocidal intent. The MBS regime certainly did commit atrocities in Yemen with catastrophic effects, but in that case at least there’s a shred of deniability regarding complicity to genocide. Harris has no excuse for continuing to support Israel, but the weapons and financing keep flowing. Therefore we have no excuse for supporting her.
