They only liked state's rights when it enabled them to hurt others and line their pockets.

Now that the fed is letting them do that, state's rights can be tossed aside until they need it again.

Best of luck! :D

If you do end up investing, a while back I put together a short guide on how to make it ever so slightly less bad for the environment.

Though with how crazy everything is, it is a bit of a risk to invest into the stock market.

An alternative option might be to invest in a CD with a credit union, which would have a safe guaranteed return, but usually at a lower rate. Alliant (an online only credit union) usually has pretty good CD rates compared to brick and mortar ones.

Perhaps a mixture of both methods would give good results, only investing the percentage into the stock market that you're willing to risk.

Might want to add a spoilers tag around that, since it's a recommendation list and many (including myself) likely haven't read them.

Hope you enjoy it! ^^

Also, I learned that the rich guy with the cigar at the beginning of the film is, in fact, a cameo of John Huston!

There is, thankfully.

On the default interface (you may be able to do this from an app, but I'm not sure which), If you go to your account settings page there's a small tab at the top called 'Blocks'. After clicking on that, you should be able to add lemmit.online to your Block Instance section, which will block any posts from there showing up in your feed.

I'm somewhat reminded of the art style for Full Throttle. Good stuff!

They might want to organize into federated groups as an option, for sure. Critically the lack of coercive dominance hierarchies and horizontal power structures is what would make them Anarchist.

I like that one too.

A community deciding on issues collectively and without coercive dominance hierarchies sounds like it'd fit right in there.

I think I should ask at this point what your definition of Anarchism is.

I'm not suggesting voting in a centralized government, but a small community either voting or coming to consensus on matters that directly effect them.

 

Per the description:

My goal is to shorten the episodes; cut out bad dialogue, weird transitions, and overall make it feel more like an Indiana Jones film. This inclues adding a bit of John Williams' magical score.

Young Indiana Jones originaly included old Indy bookends with George Hall, as well as the story being told through two to three episodes. I believe that only using the teenage Indy segments of the show will help make it feel more cohesive as well as keeping it closer to what the character does in the main films (e.g. being smart, reckless, quick on his feet, etc.).

I'm not super familiar with the originals, but I recall renting a couple episodes back in the day and thinking they were pretty awful. This re-edit seems to do a pretty good job of making it more watchable.

Community Defense Saves Lives - Abolitionists & the 1860 "Race Riots" in Grinnell, Iowa

 

The drama is centered on two of the leading players and their respective companies in the home computer market of the late 1970s and early 1980s focusing on the race to win a grant from the BBC to become the provider of a home computer for the BBC's programming for schools. Certain parts of the drama are based on historical fact while others are a dramatization.

The main characters are ZX Spectrum creator Clive Sinclair and BBC Micro creators Chris Curry, Sophie Wilson, Steve Furber and Hermann Hauser. The real-life Wilson also makes a brief cameo as a barmaid.

Martin Freeman does a great job as Chris Curry, and Alexander Armstrong seems to do a quite good impression of Sinclair.

Overall a great little movie for retro computer fans! Well produced and well paced, feels slightly reminiscent of Halt and Catch Fire.
