The fluoride made my chocolate hole tickle. Now I can't stop getting it scratched.

Hmm, I'd say overall the avatar (blue people) movie wasn't shit. It wasn't breaking any new ground in story or such, but the visuals complemented the actors and didn't break immersion in comedic, unintentional ways. So... mostly just by comparison to the shitty avatar (blue tattoos) movie.

I've only finished the first game. I keep getting stalled around mid-game in the second. Now, those games had some humor that didn't break immersion.

Lol, wrong pandora. It's the shitty remake of dances with wolves, the non shitty avatar movie, and shittier avatar franchise.

Because lobbying does have its place. When your local charity that advocates for better mental health sends someone to speak to a senator about how a program could be improved, or where it is causing issues, that's lobbying.

The corruption comes when the senator expects a three course meal experience as the cost of having that talk with they lobbyist, or the lobbyist has connections to people who will totally not base their donations on what the senator agrees to during the meeting. Sure, we could make that sort of lobbying illegal, but who is going to investigate 400+ individuals having several meetings a day with people wanting to advocate for various agendas? The IRS is already getting the shaft, and they're the ones who freaking bring in the money! Do you think congress will ever agree to pay money to set up something to investigate themselves?

If the testimony reveals criminal actions, then criminal charges can be filed. That was the big 'whoooah' from the testimonies of the other trump children; their testimonies apparently contained elements of criminal offenses beyond the simple civil matters of this trial.

It comes down to the same issue with the police. When you look at the effort it would take to reform what was wrong, it would be nearly impossible. A better idea would be to toss out everything and start from scratch.

Just take a look at how mental institutions were in the last moments before they were closed: https://timeline.com/willowbrook-the-institution-that-shocked-a-nation-into-changing-its-laws-c847acb44e0d?gi=187e20cd91e2

Definitely not true. I have a relative with a truck similar to the pictured one, and the rear tires are around 85 psi. If the individual thinks they need tow-worthy tires, they can definitely get them.

Aye. Too many of the suggested responses either a.) are wildly out of what another person would consider reasonable, increasing your chances of losing if it goes to a court or being assaulted by said asshole, and b.) don't have any connection to the actual offense, and the asshole would never know why, without a doubt, that the action was taken.

In the real words of ER docs everywhere, "Everybody dies of shock."

Sure, within reason for the setting. There is a reason that their patron has them in the first place, and I'm betting until the warlock did the betrayal, the reason was something along the lines of "can't act directly in the mortal realm" or somesuch. As long as this isn't a 'god's wrath falls, warlock dies' moment, there is a lot of room for fun in how a warlock might have to start dodging other warlocks or mystical beings the patron can act through.

Yeah, that "technically no legal consequences" though is a thin thread that's protecting you. It was being discussed on another thread.
