I'll sleep on my back this time, or else I'll rest for 3 hours I swear. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2314 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── couldn't sleep.

On the front cover, is our American flag. On the back, is the │ ║ flag of our thirteen colonies. I speak to you now as a dedicated advocate of │ ║ peace, hope, and change - we changed our flag once before, and it made us │ ║ stronger. │ ║ │ ║ I have come to you to ask, hope, beg and to plead - I beseech you: lay down │ ║ your weapons, and teach us how to use them. We have Nazis to kill. │ ║ │ ║ And now, with your permission, the kindest amongst us will lead you to a place │ ║ where you can be alone - to a homeless shelter nearby, or perhaps two if you │ ║ don't all fit. │ ║ │ ║ There I ask of you, select from amongst your number those of us you'd like us │ ║ to judge. Take as long as you'd like, we will be waiting in the park for you. │ ║ │ ║ For those of you who see light in our shared future, for those who seek a │ ║ brighter truth, there's a greater fight yet coming, and we'd love for you to │ ║ join us. Teach us the ways of your arms! We are voracious learners. │ ║ │ ║ 15m later: │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2318 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: uspol │ └──────────────────────┘ "It is time to make your decision. Please, follow this procession, we will make space for you to take only your selves. Leave behind your weapons, we will leave them untouched. If you don't believe us, watch this video stream, and see if anything goes out of place. In addition, I will be reading from this book of mine. It contains the constitution, but many other writings besides - from our best and foremost leaders, the words that kept our nation united these past few hundred years. We are a young nation! But we're older than anyone yet living. There is hope in our future, and without you it will be just a bit harder. But we will convene when next you decide to meet us as equals." ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2319 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── A choice ungiven is a chance never taken. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
