Ok, couple of things.
First, I'm gonna take the controversial stance that if you want to walk or ride around naked in places there might be children, you are a pedophile who should be hanged. Controversial in circles rife with pedophiles, and their enablers, I know. However, it should be a reasonable stance with everyone else.
In any non-pozzed place, people going nude in public might be reminded they could end up on the sex offenders registry if they got convicted of indecent exposure (the uselessness of the registry is different topic/debate). However, the push to normalize sex and nudity has led people to think open sexuality shouldn't be a big deal when discretion is still an important part of everyday life and what should be polite society.
It's protesting without a point. These people are braindead.
In my part of Kiwi Land, the No Kings protests I've seen to date had minimal turnout and everyone seemed to have signs protesting various stuff and not just Trump as if the event was an excuse to protest whatever for the sake of protesting anything, These protests haven't looked very organized apart from the "Protest here on this day."
Providing amnesty just sends the message that if you break the law successfully enough, for long enough, that you will be rewarded with exactly what you broke the law for.
Amnesty without consequence sends the message that the laws discouraging undesirable conduct can be overlooked or ignored when it's easy to simply look the other way. TL; DR - It rewards what's supposed to be bad behavior. It's a credibility issue for people to say they want to be citizens/residents when they can't even enter the country legally to start the process off on the right foot.
know it's
as fuck but I really hope this supposed peace will last.
That part of the world has been known for its skirmishes, wars, etc. So, concerns about long-term peace and stability are entirely reasonable. However, Trump is going to be unhappy
of if his efforts to try to have peace go for naught while he's still in office, and I think these nations know that and are willing to at least try. My concern is the usual agitators in that part of the world trying to start something again just to ruin the peace efforts.
Unauthorized leaks of classified material.
Sadly, the press has used social engineering and other underhanded tactics to get people to disclose stuff they shouldn't. The press' inability to police themselves in this regard is probably the impetus for this. It's ironic how the same journalists who worried about DOGE employees having unfettered access to Federal information want unrestricted access for themselves with little more than "Trust me," as their assurance they won't leak anything they shouldn't.
Only had to do that when I got stomach flu. I wanted to fucking die
Stomach flu is the worst. What few times I've had it, it takes longer to want to eat normal food than it does to feel well enough to get back on my feet again. Coming off of a bout of stomach flu, my workplace at the time had pizza day and just one bite was enough to make my sensitive stomach feel queasy again. I swear it takes a good week or so to feel 100% back to normal again.
