Some of this is the reason why your teleporter has an operator and isn't automated. The teleporter knows you're wearing shoes or skis because the operator has specified your parameters. The computer might not know where shoes end and floor begins but O'Brien does.

I only realized after I finished the series and reflected on it, that one of the reasons I enjoyed The Expanse so much because I was enjoying the complex and intricate politics between sensible actors with different motivations. It helped me cope with the real world's politics being full of sadistic fools.

I haven't seen the TV show so I don't know where it leaves off, but if you haven't read the books, the last 2 books into the ending was a hell of a crazy ride. And it wraps up with a conclusion that I didn't foresee as possible. I highly recommend the books.

Have you seen the list of registered republican sex offenders?

This person has made it their project to catalogue as many examples as they could find over the last 6 years. It has grown significantly since I saw it last. I hope you have a few hours available if you expect to read all this, and some anti nausea medication wouldn't hurt.

Rest assured that Trump has absolutely no shortage of choices whatsoever.

Persist harder.

Everyone in the zip code is now deaf, it's all part of the plan

"No, we have Sean Bean at home."

Sean Bean at home:

Eh, Trump wouldn't care if Elmo was banging his wife. Russia aired her nudes on the evening news channel recently and exactly nothing happened, Trump loves when the general public has sexual interactions with his wife.

Ivanka, however....

Thanks Obama!

Man, I managed to completely forget about that. My dad was really, really into that game. Like, that's about all he did for most of 4 years and ended up leaving my mom for someone he met in game.

I guess SL wasn't really any worse about that than any other game, plenty of people meet and get married in MMOs, but I think the raging custom-content sex parties in SL probably didn't help matters at the time.

Wonder how that game is doing these days. Cursory web search says it's still alive. I probably would have found it to be pretty interesting if I wasn't so turned away from it by my family experience.

This isn't about needing clarification though. Like you said, clarification is not necessary. This move is about being able to wave this amendment around in front of everyone, and publicly force Republicans to agree on its meaning, ahead of Trump ignoring it.

I don't see this as being completely a bad move but I am not a legal expert. I also won't call it a good move, but it will force the hand of the Republicans who wish to ignore this law into publicly stating as much. This would have been a lot more effective earlier though I think.
