Imagine being so privileged as to be able to just deal with 4 years of Trump in the hope that somehow the message heard will be "oop should've given us a better candidate, Dems!" and not "well fuck we'd better go even further right to keep up".

Fun fact! While there is a meteorological standard, in day to day usage the seasons are culturally defined.

In Ireland for example, it's been summer since May 1st.

Other places also define seasons differently or indeed have completely different seasons, eg the wet season, hot season, cool season in Thailand.

Just so we're clear, your argument is that this Swedish firm have the same name as 19th century American "mercs" therefore modern day slavery is real?

OK good.

To the rest of the anti-protest though: why are people responding to a protest about Israel fighting Palestine by wearing American flag overalls and singing Star Spangled Banner?

This is a future prediction, not a current observation.

I'm not saying it's correct as a prediction, but "where are the extra power plants" is not good counter-argument.

Pinkertons today is a brand name purchased by a Swedish security firm. It has nothing to do with the previous Pinkertons and (fellow) D&D nerds circlejerking that the guys from Red Dead Redemption had come to (literally ask to) retrieve stolen property without involving the law was very embarrassing.

What's a colour guard? It sounds like an American political movement.

Hmm. I feel a plot coming on

It was 3.6 years after? And it was pretty dead at that point. Like it was popular with a core group who were making Niantic and TPC tons of money, but the phenomenon was dead by the anniversary.
