Certainly not the U.S. citizens

“Your honor, my client does not possess the funds to continue this trial, so we have crafted an offer to the plaintiffs: in lieu of compensating them for the hundreds of watches that have gone missing from their inventory, we admit no wrongdoing and they will be offered stock in his watch making company should he ever start one”

Maybe there’s a word we could apply to situations where a group of people make plans to carry out an activity that is not legal for personal gain

@rikudou@lemmings.world is the contact point for this bot - you could reach out if they don’t respond to being tagged

Oh sure. Not all of them, certainly, but a good number of friends and I will hug to say hello/goodbye. Some of those guys prefer the handshake-bro-hug variety, others go in for the full bear hug. A handful of them, my oldest friends, are comfortable with cuddling, snuggling, or other non-hug physical contact so that’ll happen on the occasions we get to see each other.

Again, but differently in this instance.

Really just further clarification on which laws should protect, but not bind, their in-group.

Even here in Maine there are some large subsidies for battery backup systems. The state is even running a program for people who have them, where they can get paid for selling their stored energy during peak usage times.

Forty years living in their range and having a name that sounds like their call, and they are still never my first assumption.

Why do I hear my name being called in the woods? Gray catbirds

Hah it was killer doing a first course of stone for a slope stabilization project but I’ll see what I can do

I wonder if the neighbors would let me borrow their horse…

Not just you, I thought it was engaging and interesting as well. The comment about artificial refuges really strikes a chord as well, and I would add man made brush piles to the list of reclamation structures for encouraging animal resurgence.

Also, I’m excited that I might be able to describe the various rock structures on our parcel with greater scientific rigor.

As someone who appreciates your efforts in threads and is old enough to get this reference, I salute you

Overcoming someone’s apathy towards voting is a huge success, don’t let yourself get down about how many you convinced.

Nah you’re good, I just became a lot less fun when the Gell-Mann stopped <3

Inappropriate for a wire service/po•tah•to. Reuters has little value to me if non factual statements are not attributed as quotes.

The newly listed company warned in its initial public offering (IPO) paperwork that its unique approach to content moderation can sometimes subject it to disruptions like in 2023, when several moderators protested against its decision to charge third-party app developers

I seem to recall over 8000 subs going dark but sure, just a handful of people protested.

is not possible under the circumstances presented

Of my client’s entire history dealing with others

It’s so good! I’d love to see our neighboring states make the move to it or STAR voting

I think you made the right call, and your explanation is wonderfully eloquent. Thanks for all your efforts

I tend to vote most idealistically in local races, and most strategically in top line races. With local ones I can also have an outsized impact on the folks who are voting in those races by volunteering or even just (at minimum) talking positively about a given candidate to those who are on the fence or those who vote but don’t spend the same time I do researching positions. It’s my feeling that producing a major shift in policy is most achievable by a surge in local voting, due to the brittle nature of political strategies that rely on low engagement.
