What's the difference between terrorists and the resistance to an occupation?

It should be noted these are State Troopers, who basically follow Abbott's orders these days, and are always itching to put on a show for the cameras, eg the one above. APD ~~and UTPD~~ don't seem to be involved in this.

Edit: UTPD was involved:

UT Police Assistant Chief Ashley Griffin issues a dispersal order to those present. That statement was read over campus loudspeakers, Ryan Chandler reports.

“I command you in the name of the People of the State of Texas to disperse, and if you do not, you shall be arrested for Violation of Penal Code Section 42.01 Disorderly Conduct, 42.02 Riot, 42.03 Obstructing a Highway or other passageway,” the order reads.

From everything I've seen, this was a peaceful, mobile protest that caused no disruptions until the police caused disruptions.

5 acres for 245K between Seattle and Portland is nothing to sneeze at

I feel triggered

That spongy tissue is for mating season, when the Cybertruck owner puffs up his mirrors in a rhythmic pattern to attract ladies

You sound like you're carrying a lot of anger

Occasionally drinking high quality milk is not related to any negative health impacts (among those with lactase persistence) so hard disagree there. It's a nutritionally dense food with a good mix of fat, protein, sugar, and bioavailabile calcium. There are clearly severe issues with the dairy industry, which is why I'm buying the local stuff that's almost twice as expensive and where they treat their cows well.

Modern factory farming (of plants) comes with tons of problems too, related to climate change, pesticide and herbice use, fertilizer runoff, habitat destruction, and more. That's not a reason to stop eating plants.

I'm talking about the evolution of lactase persistence in humans among civilizations that were heavily dependent on pastoralism thousands, even tens of thousands of years ago. This has nothing to do with North America, because they did not have cows or evolve with cows. Lactase persistence is most pervasive among the people of Northern Europe, West Africa, Southwest Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula.

We're literally the only species to drink another species milk

And we've been doing it so long that it affected human evolution, allowing many of us to digest lactose into adulthood.

There's a lot in East Austin near the Giga factory with hundreds of Cybertrucks that don't seem to be moving...

Honestly though, the size of that building is obscene. It's hard to look at it and not think vanity is playing a serious role in top-level decision-making at Tesla.

Paxton isn't stupid, he's a narcissist. He would never admit fault, blame, or being wrong about anything. He'll use his words to twist literally any scenario to make it look like he's the good guy, the victim, or "winning."

I've been scoping out EVs and Teslas are just not even slightly on my radar as a potential option. They come off entirely untrustworthy as a company
