Obviously we movie goers aren't making the kinds of movies we want to see. We need to be the change and be the movie makers which we have no experience, skill or possibility of being. It's so simple that it's fucking crazy.

The police just see themselves not as exploited protectors of capital but rather temporarily embarrassed felons.

I went to a Bernie rally in 2015. It was by far (by a wide, wide margin) the best attended political rally we'd ever had in Idaho. It was at the college stadium and I chose to stand in the crowd nearest the podium. That was cool. But, I was standing in line for two hours and then the rally was about three hours. The standing floor at the rally was really crushed in so you don't have personal space and you can't really shift your weight and relax muscles. So, I recommend getting a chair if they're available. I was getting so fatigued I was having a hard time enjoying it. I would totally do it again. But I'd head for seating.

In OPs case, I'd recommend groups that kind of cater to outcasts. I met most of my current friends through joining the local atheist group. Atheism, Satanism, humanism, whatever flavor suits best will probably have some furry friendly people at least. And then there's usually kink groups and polyamory groups (even if you're not poly just say you're wanting to meet new people and you'll be in a D&D campaign within an hour or so).

No, I'm not. That's the thing. I know that a very small business (sub five employees) lives and dies by word of mouth and repeat business. Something that closing down and becoming another business with another name (even a derivative) will absolutely kill. On top of the IRS very likely having protections against this very scenario, starting a new business with a new license, and a new name, a new logo, and a new bank account, insurance, and a new domain name probably (in which case, software, accounts, POS, would be tied to the wrong domain email which is embarrassing if it's not changeable), and does it need permits? They're new too. Did you have an LLC? Lawyer fees and processing and time. All to save $50k in taxes which likely weren't terrible if you're that small.

It's basically like starting a game of Civ or something similar and adjusting everything in the custom gameplay mode to make a few things a little easier in game. And then you get a few hours of playing in and realize you borked the game and would rather play a typical campaign.

If your business is doing so poorly that deducting a single person's wage for the first year is worth that effort then...I guess yeah. Game away.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, but in case not, no. The preview was ran just fine without an NPU. Source

We're a family here! I don't know where these trust issues of yours come from...

Get out of here plastic!

Check weiner size? Make sure you use shampoo and not conditioner? I don't know. But it's nice.

The cool thing about contacts is you can get glasses without prescription lenses for the look. And then still wear whatever sunglasses, see in the shower, in the pool (if you're into water or whatever). So many options.
