They would be. Let's keep educating on the deliberately abstract and obscure "laws". It's important to assist in correcting that ignorance.

Here's a good start:

House votes to require delivery of bombs to Israel in GOP-led rebuke of Biden policies ( apnews.com )

The House delivered a rebuke to President Joe Biden Thursday for pausing a shipment of bombs to Israel, passing legislation that seeks to force the weapons transfer as Republicans worked to highlight Democratic divisions over the Israel-Hamas war....

If we could all just agree that no religious mythology is actually valuable, we'd solve that issue.

BigPharma should get in on this. Every American made fetus gets a free Armalite rifle seed that grows with the fetus. Name it too!

I remember being told that an adult could sleep in a car, but with a child, sleeping in a car is considered "endangerment". Doubly so if you're a CIS gender male with a female child.
This was a Texas CPS social worker. We just had a flood and were brainstorming ideas for temporary shelter for folks.

My youngest and I have been on our own since she was 8 months old. She's now 11. She has two older siblings and 4 nieces and nephews. She went to spend last summer with her sister and family and asked to stay through the next summer. That was July 16th 2023. Hardest decision I've made yet. But I couldn't find a reason to say no that wasn't selfish or self serving. She needed this time. Her mother hasn't been in her life and her 27 year old sister is the "mother figure" she clung to.

She will be home in a few weeks.

It's the moments like these I miss the most. Watching them in real-time discover themselves.

Anyway, y'all just take every fucking chance you get to sit still in moments like these. Enjoy them.

I think my 11 year old was the most surprising.

Well, they tried to warn them.

More room for us if they can't follow suggested instructions.

"Healthcare" implies it's something useful and available.

It is "luxury health". If you can't pay, you don't stay.

Wish they would just say that instead of all this other abstract nonsense like health-care.

Listen. Listen and make sure they know you hear them. Actively engage in thier interests. Be honest. Just don't bullshit them. Daughters know. Mine are 27 and 11 and those are my biggest missteps along the way.

Oh, also be wrong. Be wrong and accountable. And learn.

"Do you believe in god?"

No. That's for old fools with nothing to lose, and a full belly.

Professor sues Meta to allow release of feed-killing tool for Facebook ( arstechnica.com )

The tool is nearly ready to be released, Zuckerman told Ars, but the University of Massachusetts Amherst associate professor is afraid that Facebook owner Meta might threaten legal action if he goes ahead. And his fears appear well-founded. In 2021, Meta sent a cease-and-desist letter to the creator of the original Unfollow...

I stopped using all social media that insists on taking control of my content a long while ago. History has taught us that the laws flow with, and follow the money. And Meta has a lot of it.
Just don't use the products, and use these examples as to "why" you won't when pressed. It's gross that we are wanting to be a part of a product that isn't for us.
Why would you want to exist in that, when it is such a difficult experience? I just can't wrap my head around it.

I've been living in coastal Southeastern Texas for 44 years. Im 46.
In 2017 my county rezoned us as a flood zone because of the Havey flooding caused all the poor planning.
An entire section of the state reclassified because "interstate highway" needed to be bigger.

They've been building the same 50ish miles for at least 27 years. All they've managed to do is ruin what was naturally occurring barriers and eroded our ability to maintain habitation. Or to expect a reasonable ability to protect against a disaster.

We're leaving 3.4 acres my grandfather bought in 1986, and gave my sister and I in 2007.

And that's just MY story. We had 375 neighbors in my area and at least 30% have moved on since 2017.

And that's just one coastal city, in one state, in one country, on one continent.

I don't have a lot of fantasy about humanities future.

Absolutely! The mentality that it's "wasted time and resources" is exactly how you extinguish progress, invention, and ultimately the ability to innovate existing tools.

I freaking love that! And I have a feeling conversations like that happen pretty often, and I have to know if they are documented now!

Maybe I am just out of touch with the what the majority thinks, but this is honestly surprising. I am very glad to hear it, but yeah, I didn't expect this reaction. Maybe from us Linux folks who just like reiterate the FOSS sentiments in protest, but not this. It's refreshing.

Well, to be fair, it's an AMAZING manual.
