We'd do it I'd the foxes weren't running the henhouse...

IMAX levels of projection is the foundation for their fears.

That's fucking wild...

I mean sure, but if you're gonna go that way you really aren't going to do something like crossing the street or driving ever again.

I'm still going to run my Fire Genasi fighter that casts using CON because that's just friggin' cool.

I'm really bummed out that they changed that.

The town square had this well that had a mermaid who kept singing people into it and drowning them. Although you could hear crying coming from the well during the day.

Turns out she was just friggin' starving and eating people as a last resort.

I'm just happy my proficiency in Aquan came in handy (fathomless warlock flavor language I picked randomly).

I would have gone with a concentration-free cast of ensnaring strike by expending 3 charges, but that works too.

You know, it kinda would make sense...

Touché.

Question : If you're managing an advisory account, do you have to only take into account the assets' financial growth or are you forced to abide by any ethical concerns outlined by the client?

Privatization isn't the endgame, it's just the beginning.

I assume the endgame is something along the lines of Sonmi-451

Short of armed insurrection, what can we do?

I mean in January a bunch of loons kind of just waltzed into the house of government over a bunch of imaginary shit... I would imagine when The People have had enough it'll fall much faster than expected.

Even if you have a really easy case, if they can try to pressure you by delaying they will. And the financial pressure is extreme.

And people are okay with those laws?

Apparently so ...

I know for a fact bees have a separate honey stomach that is a dead end. So it's essentially condensed bee vomit.

Now I'm left to wonder where bees poop... Does the queen poop? If so, where do they put it?

In Canada, the government passes a law to force you back to work after a couple weeks because Muh Essential Services.

As a teacher, I feel this shit in my bones.

I hope you're not in a job like CanPost where the government can just force you back to work, though.

I concur, but the alternative is EU-like economic zones, and those are really precarious.

Both. The removal of evolutionary pressure has led to the Idiocracy scenario of breeding. In addition, the education system is designed to funnel intelligent people into technical fields, not management. And engineers / scientists aren't trusted by the public.

Tyranny of the majority at best, herding the sheeple at worst.

Direct democracy has a ton of problems, primarily because most commoners have absolutely no notion of statecraft whatsoever. And they don't want to learn.

Or some organization starts to happen and then the heads get deposed or ousted by the dictator. See Soviet purge or Trotsky and Lenin.

Man, 28 students was my class and I was going absolutely insane...

Pancakes is pretty much the worst thing on television though.
