Look I see what you mean but we finished coal. We closed the last coal power station last year.

Technically, sure, it would reduce the microplastics in your body, but they're everywhere in your body, so it wouldn't be by a significant amount.

I know this is a thing in something I've seen. Greatest Estate Developer?

they think there's a health benefit and that it filters out more than just chlorine.

Depending on where you are they're not wrong. It's a carbon filter, and carbon filters remove plenty more than just the chlorine taste, but what they'll remove from your water depends what's in your water. Like I wouldn't ever bother with a filter when I'm in Edinburgh, but in America I'd probably want all my water filtered.

Famously imperialist country, Mongolia.

Also 3 of Switzerland's official languages are just the language of the closest country, less than 1% of the population speak Romansh.

One of my friends has spent a year in Wandsworth without trial for supporting Palestine so don't fucking try to tell me about the evils of Russian justice

Only Germany has a stronger stance on Israel, probably due to the large presence of Jews in the country.

Sib, you're gonna need to sit down before I tell you this...

Where did you get that fraction from, and what makes you think "some" research is worth anything? Looking at the ingredients is "some" research, it doesn't mean you'll draw correct conclusions if you don't research the ingredients themselves.

Guardian is a better classic tank than a Champion, because Champions get a lot more offensive and ally buffing abilities, while Guardian has more defensive and enemy debuffing abilities. A Champion can heal their allies after the battle, while a Guardian will just take the hits for them in the first place.
Similarly, Commander vs Bard are more of a different style than one being better. Bard is the best casting buffer because of its spell list, but Commanders are martial buffers, so they can quickly change buffs and react to changes on the battlefield a lot more easily, while still having the actions to engage with the frontline.

With both it's like asking if Sorcerers or Kineticists are better blasters. There isn't really an answer, they do different things with the role.

This is just some rightwing kook saying stuff for money, stop believing things just because they're in a video essay format.

archaeological evidence confirming that Israelite culture was already indigenous to the region and there was neither a period of slavery in Egypt, nor an Exodus from Egypt, nor a conquest of Canaan as they were already there.

I'd say this is a little inaccurate - the Israelite culture is an offshoot of the Canaanite culture from some 400 years after Israel was founded, based on the Canaanite scripture but with YHWH in place of El, and while there wasn't a period of slavery or exodus in Egypt, there does seem to have been one in Babylon after the Babylonian conquest.
The real issue of the both histories is that only about 20% of the population of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judea were enslaved, the other 80% stayed and after 2 millennia of cultural exchange ended up as Palestinians.

 

Quite frankly there's been more than enough already, and everyone needs to just pack it in.

Yet another victim of brigading. No, we're not the same person, part of Hexbear's site culture is that we don't have downvotes so people who disagree with something have to articulate that disagreement instead of just downvoting because they don't like it.

But OK, I'll accept your unevidenced claim that Mexico is a "narcostate", and even your wild notion that race and racism is unrelated to cultures, because I'm not asking about either of those things: I asked you to explain your idea that Mexico is a narcostate because of the culture.

 

Text of postDo you disagree with how the company you work for is run? Are they on the BDS list? Are they a fossil fuel company or SUV manufacturer? Is strike action not an option? Try hiding under a rock! Alternatively, adopt ‘slow-down’ tactics among your colleagues. These methods of industrial action are intended to slow down the efficiency of companies without risking disciplinary action. ‘Slow-down’ might take the form of playing everything ‘by the book’ and taking procedural processes VERY SERIOUSLY. In practice, corners are cut, so why not become that sticker for the rules and make sure everything is signed off exactly how the bosses intended? In an industrial dispute in 2011, right-handed Australian workers at the airline Qantas started using their left-hands. So get out from beneath that rock, and if you’re stuck by circumstances working for a bad-guy, get creative with your resistance - and organise offline with your colleagues. Crab Museum takes no responsibility for you getting the sack, but it's worth thinking about what power we still have over the world around us.

 

Got home from lunch with some friends right as 3 (three!) CID officers pulled up looking for me, over "malicious communications" I "may" have made. 5 hours later I was back home, having charmed them into asking for only a 2 sentence "I'm sorry for bullying you" letter as punishment. Not even a caution. Skip to the last section if you just want the analysis without story.

Let's be clear, I was extremely uncivil in my email (cw gross insults, mention of suicide)Among my ranting - i.e these are the bits the cops actually brought up - I accused him of getting off on blowing up Palestinian kids to be so rabid in his support for Israel, compared him to Hitler and the Royal Family, and signed it with "Fuck you and kill yourself". I did not include any threats, actionable or not, veiled or not, or anything that could be interpreted as a threat to him - the closest I came was the phrase "kill yourself". The cops specifically stated that there was nothing threatening in the message.

I'm not trying to pretend what I said wasn't offensive, it was meant to be. Fuck him, he doesn't even have local support, nearly the entire Constituency Labour Party quit when the PLP forced his nomination on them, and since then he's unflinchingly supported Starmer's evil. Multiple people I know have sent very polite emails stating their objections to his support of Israel, and all received the same proforma zionist reply talking about Israel's "right to exist", so seeing as their politeness got ignored I aimed to make him just straight feel bad about the things he votes for, but that's all I did. I used some mean words, but it stayed well within the realm of just words.

Potentially I could have "no comment"-ed everything to make a big deal about it - I would 100% lose in court and get up to 2 years in prison and a fine, but it would drag things out in a way that attracted negative publicity for my MP and the police at an already quite volatile time - but instead, mainly for reasons that will stay between my solicitor and I, I was completely cooperative, making even more of a farce of the whole situation.
The cops arrived on edge and ready for something - a chase, a fight, an emotional breakdown - and instead got polite compliance from a charming and well spoken young man ("man"). They aren't used to people being friendly, helpful, and "open" while being arrested - they had to confer about putting cuffs on me before deciding there was no point. They certainly aren't used to receiving a cheerful admission of "guilt" and well thought out explanation of just what someone did to receive such abuse - once we finally got to the interview they were nodding along while I talked about evidence of the Israeli genocide being all over the news and the OSA doing nothing to protect women even before the technical implementation is considered.
With my solicitors help I didn't even actually have to say that I'd done anything wrong (not sure if it's the autism or what but I find it really difficult to use moral language to describe legality, even within the context of lying to authority figures), just that I could have used different phrasing (not a lie), I was sorry (definitely a lie) and wouldn't do it again (probably not a lie, but we'll see). She had to kick me under the table a few times to make sure I didn't get too close to certain subjects, but I was able to make it obvious that there was no crime here, just emotional language wrapping intelligent and legitimate complaints from someone who equally obviously wasn't a troublemaker, really a credit to their community, and the detectives ate it up. It was clear to them this was a complete nonissue of a case that just needs a light slap on the wrist to fulfil the requirements of the law, all tidied up just in time to clock out. They didn't even need to actually check my phone - I mean, I already admitted to sending the email, and I would hardly have given it over so willingly if there was something incriminating on there, would I?

The takeaway from the experience is that politicians are becoming scared of their constituents and are using the police to intimidate them, and it is obvious to everyone. I told my boss and he thought I was fucking with him. I told some libs at work and they started going on about 2004 honda accord jojo well. I told my dealer and he started laughing because I've been buying drugs from him for years. Even the coworker who's literally dating a cop was appalled. The unanimous reaction has been that while my email was maybe a little excessive, arresting me goes far beyond any reasonable response. Even the cops found it excessive - I wasn't joking about the two sentence apology and slap on the wrist, on releasing me the arresting officer literally said they were required to punish me because I'd admitted to breaching the 19whatever malicious communications act, but they were giving me the smallest possible punishment they had the power to give out.

I don't really know where else to go with this so TLDR:
clown-to-clown-communication ukkk clown-to-clown-conversation

Woo woo sage and crystals psychotherapist butted in to say they were definitely separate, because ADHD was genetic while autism was generally caused by outside influences like vaccines.

God I hate him so much. He bragged about spending 9 days in Peru on a Ayahuasca vision quest so I've been rephrasing it to everyone as shitting and puking until he saw god.

 

 

I somehow broke my front spoke reflector and these things are all over AliExpress - are they as good as other reflectors or should I just get an ol' reliable?

 

What's the equivalent of a TV show or film on Golarion? Are there any references to cinema-style places already, especially in or around Absalom? Not a theatre with actors recreating the piece each time, but somewhere that plays recordings of events. Camcorders exist, surely somewhere to watch them must too.

Urgently need an answer within the next two months, I'm closing the campaign with a session of Come Dice With Me starring the PCs and would prefer to justify the film crew with existing lore if possible.
