A commercial passenger plane should not be the subject of government research.

The resulting aircraft/technology can be sold to commercial aviation and/or be used for military purposes

That is what companies like Boeing and Lockheed are for.

NASA has no business making airplanes for rich passengers.

We need bullet trains, not more passenger jets.

Speaking of Korea, about 15 years ago a South Korean man went to Amsterdam and blogged about smoking pot there.

He was arrested upon his return and imprisoned because South Koreans are bound by South Korean laws no matter where they are in the world.

I’m not surprised at this point. I’m not shocked. I’m not disgusted.

Like climate change, it’s time.

We need to have 2+ functional political parties in this country. One cannot be a terrorist organization fueled by hate.

If you are old enough to vote and do not vote against these people, you are a supporter of Republican rightwing fascism.

And, conversely, when Disney horks some small artist’s work, Disney will out-lawyer them.

I see this turning to shit in a year or two. Maybe less.

Hexbear does have some nice people among their very politically charged…

Nope. Anybody on hexbear knows damn well it’s chock full of racist bigots. They are OK with all that racism and bigotry.

That makes them bad. A lot of racist bigots are polite and friendly. It doesn’t mean they aren’t scum.

I could say job-related things or my hobbies, but Ima go with Google-fu. Maybe just search engine fu.

I know way too many ‘first page people’ when it comes to results. No fuckin’ way. Learn how to dig. Do not take no for an answer from a search engine without trying a range of strategies to find what you’re looking for.

OK, I’m lying. This is part of my job. I teach academic research, and I hear these people with two sources tell me there aren’t enough sources for them to do a research paper on a given topic or that all these peer-reviewed journal articles say the same thing.

But it does extend into non-academic life. I was out of town, my older brother needed a U-Haul, drove 40 minutes to a place he knew, but there was a U-Haul less than 10 minutes away that he couldn’t find.

I’m surrounded by this.

Now this is where dragging out cases is going to work against him.

Trump needs to STFU until next year.

Fat fuckin’ chance of that happening.

Is the song Brain Damage?

Screw the lawyers, Donald. Commit another crime.

I think 81.

This says 10 indictments, and it’s 4 minutes old.

A druidic forest spirit.

Maybe he’s a demi-god whose back story we don’t know enough about.

Gandalf seems pretty human to start with, but then we find out that he’s a superhuman/demigod. That whole circle of wizards seems superhuman.

What was Sauron?

I think CS Lewis and Lewis Carroll had a better approach of just being like “Look, anything we want can show up as part of the story.”

Tolkien had to create all of these taxonomies, bloodlines, and typing, which is why we’re talking about this.

No pronouns!

Pronoun make Gargleblaster angry!

Drink book

That’s probably true.

But you have to spend at least a little time with someone to judge their behavior.

The problem is that people are pre-judged based on their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious beliefs or lack thereof, nation of origin, first language, and a boatload of other things purely based on these factors without any personal contact or observation of their behavior.

Hence the word prejudice.

Likewise, people take the misbehavior of one or a small group and and apply it to everyone with the same characteristic.

Hence prejudice and stereotyping.

Cool!
