I wonder, with our title of Commander in Chief, do those governments you mentioned also invest supreme military direction into their head of state? I don't see how it could be any other way, as the military must be tied to the will of the people. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: messages/467 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── Laws should be required to be marked [short term] or [long term] Short term means it should be redesigned after its effects become apparent.

I saw people talking in front of Safeway, and there was many more people than usual about on a Tuesday at noon. When I visited the city yesterday, as I might do today or tomorrow, it was quite a different feeling. The poor dears are traumatized, I think! Well, have no fear, you won't have to bear the brunt of our burdens for long. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2276 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: pol │ └──────────────────────┘ A good way to get people talking is to meet with a stranger and share your feelings. Or, if you're scared of strangers, then try talking with a friend. "something something SUPREME COURT something whatever CRIMINALIZED PEOPLE blah blah blah I WON'T STAND FOR IT" that kind of thing. Make sure you look at your friend for the loud bits, and maybe look at someone else nearby when it's your friend's turn to speak. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2277 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-1203 Valuable insight.

It is the means by which all contests are won. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
