I'll always prefer SML 1.

But I do fondly remember this.

Kepabar ,

I think it's a combination of nostalgia and the fact that SML1 had levels, enemies and music that were super unique compared to other Mario games before or after.

SML2 is a better game on the technical side of things but nothing in it blew me away or was memorable enough for me to recall with super clarity like I do with 1.

Kepabar ,

Nope.

The rural population isn't the issue, it's suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.

It's not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it's zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.

Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn't want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn't have to

Man, I barely graduated from high school because I saw the entire thing as busy work.

My grade in any class was dependant on how much the tests were weighed versus any class or homework. Sleeping or reading through class was my usual.

Now that I'm older I see the value in building the discipline needed to do that sort of busy work because if I don't my house falls apart and such, so there's that.

I wish it didn't take me so long to learn it though.

Kepabar ,

No one does that.

President has wide latitude in matters like this. Air strikes in this context are legal for him. He can even deploy troops as long as their deployment isn't longer then 60 days.

Because they can be slotted in to work existing machinery without retooling the entire plant.

Working long solo sessions of people leaving me the fuck alone tends to be correlated with me getting projects done.

In the era of social media it's become common for someone's racism views posted on their personal social media to get forwarded to their professional relationships (employer, clients) leading to fallout, for example.

This is an attempt at stifling that sort of thing. When this first started the people on the receiving end complained about 'freedom of speech'.

They where told freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequences.

This is Floridas attempt at getting rid of the consequences by silencing free speech, ironically.

Kepabar ,

Yes, truth is a defense.

The grey area this law attempts to exploit is that terms like 'racist' have no absolute definition. The term can be used as a response to anything from 'i don't like Indian food' to 'Hilters views on the aryan race were right'.

Take the Indian food example. If you were you say that, and I called you a racist for it, is that a matter of opinion on my behalf or a fact that is the basis of a defamation suit?

I kinda would have been, but I had a dictionary at home so didn't use the library one much.

Kepabar ,

Yeah, but I'm talking about if this happened to me when I was a kid.

A 16 year old can get emancipation from the court in Florida. Doing so would make it so parents or guardian would no longer have claim over any money earned.

That's the one decent argument for this law; an emancipated 16 year old needs the ability to work a full time job to support themselves as no one else is legally required to do so.

The programs these churches run are typically filling in gaps in social programs that the government doesn't have the political mandate to enact.

If these churches were taxed you'd see their charities diminished while the funding went to some pork belly spending project, or at the very least not related to what services the church is suddenly not providing.

Not all government spending is a net positive.

Most tropical/subtropical areas will have a heat index in this range for the majority of the year thanks to humidity.

I live in Florida and maybe for two months of the year I could cycle around without getting soaked, either by rain or humidity.

I do cycle around for fun though.

Yes, it's generally considered rude to switch languages specifically to hide your conversation.

It's because most will assume you are doing it to talk shit.
