I'm perfectly fine with enabling a connection, just not requiring one.

For example - my lights are automated. They have a switch though. If they went offline (or my server does), I can press the entirely local switch and have light.

As a reminder though, 418 is supposed to be the response for requests of the teapot to brew coffee.

Its actually a pretty well aged reference, of legal drinking age in the US.

Or, like so many, he's interpreting it as teasing when its not.

My wife still browses reddit. A recent BORU was a young guy who was convinced his brother's gf wanted to bang him. Everyone told him it was in his head, he went for it anyway....

Now his brother and gf left the family home to get a hotel, and this dumb ass - who only now saw how wrong he was - is left explaining why to the family.

Could be made up, of course. But its incredibly plausible. Lots of guys are dumb AF and either can't pick up on any signals, or interpret everything as a signal.

So I'd personally lean towards the incredibly more likely scenario of her being friendly, and him misinterpreting it.

There was already an article about him playing Among Us, and how he would play as the "assassin".

Sooooo..... They are already trying, even with the dumbest shit.

You're being incredibly generous if you think he understands any of it.

As far as your Birth Certificate... theoretically it should be possible to attain a copy through some kind of State records office/website, though I'm not familiar with Ohio specifically.

Vital Statistics

Here's the info from Ohio:

Prove a negative!

....

Yes.

All of it should be. Why the fuck shouldn't it be stopped too? Wtf?

He's even said as much:

I throw the spaghetti against the wall, see if it sticks, see if it's al dente. I know the material, and then, of course I want to try it a bunch of different ways. Give the director so much to work with, so many levels of emotion, so many levels of cartoon. I'll do them all night if they let me.

To me that is him finding it so fun he just wants to try each part every which way he can and find what works, because he's truly enjoying trying it out because he wants to try it a bunch of different ways, not because he's being told to.

Not "I have a specific thought about how this works", or even "I know what the director needs from me", but "This is so fun I want to be wild with it and see what I can do!". Which to me is what makes Carrey awesome as Robotnik.

I'm all for gun control. As in, significant reforms, nationwide reforms. Real background checks. Limits on the types of guns. Insurance requirements. Safety training requirements. The list can keep on going....

That said, I'd still want an emergency alert system in schools. There are other threats and other situations where it could be needed, there is nothing wrong with having both.

has been very quiet as Vice President

This was my biggest concern, honestly.

I'm glad to see she's going right in strong, Biden stepping down had me incredibly nervous.

One option, and that's a possibility.

The other, and that possibility disappears.

The fact that you don't recognize that is, to me,a huge problem for the upcoming election.
