========================
Luck will always abandon you when you are vulnerable. So don't plan around it -
American soldiers arrived on the beaches of Normandy and found that their
assumptions for the production capabilities of their foe were completely out of
proportion to the estimates they had made back at home - for every Nazi tank,
there were 10 or 20 American ones, with more rolling off the factory floor
every day! It was a killing blow that sent an incontrovertible message: you
have lost, wholely and completely. Then, the atomic bomb, and the war was ended.
The tanks won the war, the bomb ended it.
*the blood of the soviets bought time to build those factories*
Factories which were then turned against them in the cold war. Funny how that
works.

Anger is quite a powerful and useful emotion. Sometimes you can utilize it
toward achieving your goals, while other times it's simply sufficient to embody
and feel it.
When I seek to embody anger I listen to Green Day because it lights a fire in
me that warms my internals ^_^

AGI is the holy grail for the tech industry.
You wouldn't fault a knight for questing! But the peasant or the merchant is
hardly likely to drink from such a goblet, it is reserved for the hand of
kings. Alas, that we couldn't find "holy thimbles" that could be distributed
throughout the populace for the same effect at a decentralized scale, thus
empowering the masses to transcend their mortality.
Or better yet, task those knights with helping cats out of trees or carrying
furniture or painting the old barn or carving statues for public places or
performing great works of art in public squares or engaging in honorable jousts
(everyone's invited) or traveling abroad and learning the ways of the world to
share with their homeland.
I dunno something less flashy but more "health care, housing, and climate
change solutions"-y

║ │
║ In the proposed map style, snipers would get no cover but be forced to dodge, │
║ introducing variability to their aiming in a way that may be more fun to some. │

@user-113
you say "closest" instead of "closer", and I think that's a flaw in your
perspective.
We remember COVID. We remember because it happened just a few years ago. We saw
how our governments reacted, how ill-equipped they were to protect us. We began
to question what their purpose was, if not to serve and protect the people. Our
eyes were opened.
Give it some time. The zoomers are blossoming, and they're fucking awesome.
Here's another toot that's on my front page right now:
"The number of workplace strikes in America hit a 23-year high last year.
The number of workers on strike jumped nearly 300% from 2022.
It’s a historic moment for the labor movement.
Workers are done letting billionaires and corporations hoard all the wealth and
power."

Do not lose hope. The tide is just now turning, and you relent? Have faith,
we're on the other side of the hill now. Our future is bright, and we shall
define it's color together.

║ │
║ In addition, is there a drain in your pot? You said you were keeping it │

║ soil to dry out - if the soil is perpetually damp they can start to rot. │
║ │
║ Also, are there leaves on the roses you get? You can think of leaves like │
║ "solar panels" that power the "pumps" that pull the water up from the ground │
║ into the parts of the plant that needs it - not only are they only "on" when │
