She's a bad ass for just having the guts to go out there like that. Good for her! I'd be mortified to try that...

What is it about the sounds in this that reminds me of a 2000s video game?

Would you be able to explain why without spoiling the book for me?

What an understatement. "Cruel and dangerous" barely scratches the surface of how abominable Israel's "war" in Gaza has been. Genocide deserves to be labeled a lot more strongly than "cruel and dangerous". Calling this "cruel and dangerous" belittles the atrocities and only serves to aid Israel.

When you say email aliases, what do you mean? A lot of services strip plusses from emails now, right?

If he won't debate, they should put together a "debate" where they take in-context Trump quotes, show them on a screen, then let Kamala respond to them. Let her rip apart his awful rhetoric and lack of policies and if he doesn't show up to defend himself, that's his problem.

I'm most interested in why the Pentagon did this. It seems like an weird thing to do. It also seems like, whatever upsides might have been there, the downsides of blowback if the scheme was caught almost certianky outweigh the upsides.

I don't even see how his reaction was a "typical authoritarian response". I think there are only a few reasonable responses after being shot. Defiance is a pretty reasonable response. Anger, fear, running away, and mental breakdown are all also reasonable responses.

I detest Trump, but his immediate reaction actually seemed like the best reaction that a presidential candidate could have. I don't think it was planned and I do think that his reaction was genuine. I think it's very hard to have a calculated response in a situation like that.

In the US the laws vary by state. In Kansas you must:

  • be 18 years or older
  • be a US citizen or legal alien (minor problem here)
  • have a high school diploma or equivalent
  • take a 60 hour class
  • pass the Kansas licensing exam
  • pass a background check

Kansas also has one of the easiest exams in the US. Other states are more strict and have more difficult tests. CA's test has a pass rate of around 50%. Even the most strict only requires 135 hours of training, though.
