Is that a local delicacy?

If it was a baby crow, it may have lost its mother at an age where it was too young to learn from her to fear hoomans.

I’d give it about another thousand years.

Do free things count?

The Edwin Smith Papyrus, a papyrus made to treat traumatic brain injury or TBI, is the very first written work made to remedy a medical condition in a way that doesn’t depend on sorcery, written around 2000 BC. It gives a detailed account on some but not all do’s and dont’s of such injuries. I cite this because it actually suggests Egypt knew better than those of us alive today.

One might say I actually fantasize (complete with dumps) about having owned a micronation for a while, but I forgot the name of it as it was written once in Wingdings while buzzed. Inevitably it’s going to be renamed.

Nobody can speak for their intentions except them, but the subtext is highly suggestive of the idea the founding fathers set up the nation to be rigged from the start.

Consider the following.

Suppose you wanted answers on why each election only highlights two possible answers. The founding fathers wrote they thought the masses were stupid (not even sure if that’s their exact wording, it even may have been) and that the process had to be dumbed down.

Suppose you wanted answers on why voting power is distributed between county lines. One can cite none other than Alexander Hamilton who said he thought “people would be overriding each others’ interests otherwise”.

But… then suppose you wanted answers on why people way past their prime can ascend to the presidency. The founding fathers, surprise, really did think about this, long and hard, since Rome had the same question lingering, but then said “meh it’s not going to be that big of an issue” (despite the fact something like the elections being dumbed down seemed big enough to manifest how it was manifested).

It definitely seemed like they were sewing the seeds of tyranny.

If rules can be bent to the point of it being a defense, their mere existence ceases to be an effective enough topic of debate, since their acceptance can just be met with concern that they won’t be adhered to as intended. If he is going to arrest anyone over a “big lie” agenda (or for anything else), it’s also worth pointing out it’s not like they’re not going to get a court hearing for it, it’s not like they’re going to wake up one day and be like “well I guess I’m in jail now”. Relatedly, it’s by the same logic as not rejecting “lap dogs” based on their characteristic that we can’t automatically assume he’s going to accept people as model members of his fandom just because they follow him.

The game looks better than the movie.
