Blue Screen of Death

Orange Screen of Success

“He’s quite happy for Russia to be the smelliest, farting uncle at the barbecue,” Mr. Tesch said. “The signal is, ‘Yes I am a disrupter. I can act in ways that increase the complexity of what you’re trying to manage.’”

In America, women hold up the entire sky.

Unless it can’t be held without bleeding, it isn’t thin enough.

The scythe swinging near that guys feet struck the fear of god into me.

Nah, they think he’s incredibly annoying. Stealing Jum-jum and all that. I don’t even think there’s Brownie faction hits.

Everyone’s been nice so far, but I also haven’t left the newb zone. Though, there are some druid rings and higher level characters passing through have been generous with bufs.

Started playing on the p99 green server, though I might try other servers just to see what’s up. Been a bit surprised at how active it is.

Just want to say your posts have inspired me to get EQ working on wine and play for the first time in 24 years.

No. The Treasury is the one who mails the letters. Basically the non-profit gets notified that they’re losing tax-exempt status by mail. They then have 90 days to convince they Treasury Secretary that they are not in fact terrorists.

It’s a pretty short, and your link has a copy of the text. It looks like the Secretary (of the Treasury?) is given the power to terminate the non-profit status of any organization. The only requirements are to mail a letter to said organization stating that the Secretary think y’all are terrorists. The organization is given 90 days to convince the Secretary that they aren’t terrorists, otherwise non-profit designation is terminated. An extra-judicial appeals process through the (massively underfunded) IRS is defined. The last section basically states that terrorist designation is still appealable through judicial system. Fuzzier on the implications of this last section. I’m not trained as a lawyer, so take all this with a massive grain of salt.

I always tried to play on the emptier servers. Gives the game a lonelier more exploratory vibe. Many of the zones had a mystical and supremely dangerous quality when empty. Like a Celtic myth made manifest. I remember have a blast taking my level 16 gnome from Ak’Anon to Qeynos on foot, then down to the Rathe mountains to see the Sphinxs. Died a lot.

Shrinking is good. The world needs more itty bitty little guys.

They just assume the preceding eras were worse

I say as the psycho-reactive slime from the ghostbusters sequel slowly fills my tunnels.

1. Do less work
2. Get paid more
3. Purge 3 megayachts

You might be right. It’s unrelated, but for whatever reason your reply has made me realize I’ve been in an extreme doomer funk for months now

Long live the lambda-calculus of the proletariat

It does seem to be an escapist reaction to worsening conditions. Retreating inward because the real world is becoming hopeless. It cannot be healthy, but I’m loathe to blame them because society at large is so toxic.

We are all Hamas on this blessed day
