They haven't made you do that in while. There's way too many foreign nationals in the U.S., it would be impossible, especially in a city. The standard is ongoing contact/close personal relationships. Having a one-off conversation with a Russian at a bar isn't going to trigger the requirement unless there's something suspicious about the conversation itself (like they keep asking about your job).

Some would say 40k maybe went a little too far in the opposite direction with dark elves.

Alaska or Canada?

Just to be accurate, smoking weed doesn't disqualify you from a clearance. It can, but it's not automatic, and you might be okay depending on the job, clearance level, and time since you last did any illegal substance.

So it's really just one party's supporters make a false claim about the other party's supporters so that they can justify doing the made up bad act as well, they do the bad act, and the party whose supporters did not commit that crime continue not committing that crime.

Impersonators, assuming you're talking about the ones on the street, typically fall under parody and are therefore fair use. Some also do pay licensing fees for their portrayals. Just sort of depends on the situation.

Usually it's the minimum amount of time for a crime to jump from misdemeanor to felony.

Well we don't know, the case is ongoing. But it'll probably go in her favor. Judges currently tend to dislike AI.

If they're not in SAG and/or it's not a SAG-covered field, then no.

It's a more complicated version of that feature where Gmail offers suggested responses like "let me look into that" and "thank you."

Whereas, and forgive me if I'm mistakenly assuming you're advocating not voting for Harris, your worldview is just defeating. Every candidate but Harris will ensure that Palestinian suffering increases. Not voting will deny Harris a vote, therefore necessarily increase the odds of someone else winning and Palestinian suffering increasing. Palestinians are saying to vote for Harris. Votjng for a third party (all choices there, by the way, either actively endorse Trump (RFK Jr.) or are funded by Russia (Stein) so supports the genocide of Ukrainians) remove a vote for Harris and increase the odds of Palestinian suffering increasing. There is no scenario where if you're an American citizen you can be a neutral bystander.

At this point, if you don't vote for Harris, you're voting for ethnic cleansing and genocide, quite possibly at home as well as abroad.

The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that as Israeli leaders seemed to approach a decision on a Rafah incursion, “we began to carefully review proposed transfers of particular weapons to Israel that might be used in Rafah” beginning in April.

“As a result of that review, we have paused one shipment of weapons last week. It consists of 1,800 2,000lb bombs and 1,700 500lb bombs,” the official said, according to Reuters. The Associated Press and Agence France-Presse reported similar comments from a senior US official.
