@HybridGrizzly @suchnerve Yet figurehead monarch also tip-top around politics. If they didn't the monarchy could be removed.

@doconnoronca @suchnerve most celebrities tip-toe around politics to avoid alienating their fans because that is their livelihood but that obviously wouldn't be a risk for a figurehead monarch

Vivian@suchnerve·
The only pro-monarchy argument I’ve ever found even a little compelling: a legally powerless monarch serves as a cultural pressure release valve for the human urge to worship larger-than-life symbols which would otherwise be misdirected at the constitution by refusing to amend it

@HybridGrizzly @suchnerve No more than a celebrity, but they are not allowed to run for office, so their power is limited.

@suchnerve but their worship gives them political power regardless of the safeguards in place

@judejon_ @andrastimot In the movie Hagrid said pure-bloods aren't that pure. "Why, there isn't a wizard alive today that's not half-blood or less"

@andrastimot I think any pureblood wizard being even partly non-white does change the spirit of the books. Purebloods are heavily inbred. If one pureblood is black then they must all be partly black. A racial caste system would be impossible to ignore

A first pass at which notable human characters in the Harry Potter universe can be made black without causing a bunch of problems

could they have just blown up Venus?
Steve Evenly Naked@impossiblebones

@TierZoo You know what I suddenly realized? Like Raiders, Grace is irrelevant to the story. Once Astrophage consumes all the CO2 on Venus, that's it, it can't absorb any more energy from the Sun. Everything goes back to normal on its own.

@fuckyouiquit Only an idiot would move the goalpoasts from "the wealthy don't pay taxes" to "they don't pay the same overall percentage if we include absolutely all taxes including sales taxes too" when called out on the first point...

Wealth taxes in the US are nothing new. The poor believing the wealthy shouldn't be taxed is. Here's a pretty interesting read on how it used to work. itep.org/america-used-t…

People who don't actually read Legends don't know that this is also true in the Bantam Era lol it feels like Luke is like "hey Streen you're in charge while I go flirt with this chick for a year, have fun training the kids loser" in every book

It's so funny how in NJO and beyond they just fully drop even pretending that Luke does his job and say "yeah Tionne just trains the entire Jedi Order"

@ReviewsPossum If nuclear power would kill a few million most productive, and tax into oblivion anyone with a job, THEN they'd support it. You just don't get how they work. It's a crab bucket religion of spite. They want to ban everyone with a brain.

If we renamed nuclear energy to something like "crystal energy" and didn't tell anyone, all of the anti-nuclear people would support it.

@TTChelps The 509 is replaced by buses and people are supposed to switch to 510 to get to Union, but most of the 510s that are in service aren't scheduled to go to Union. The supervisor should ask them to go to Union.

@haldlex @Laine_MiB @lstTurtle I remember a Robert A. Heinlein story where an alien from Venus basically did that to be able to speak human language.

@TTChelps This is related to the reduction in service due to the Leslie derailment. It is a more urgent and temporary problem.

@PlannerSean Given that airport traffic is a small percentage of traffic and the 509 has room to increase frequency to what it was before COVID, Queen Quay should be able to handle it.
