Unconcerned.
If a draft does happen, just don't report. It will be stressful but its doubtful that the US policing forces will be able to do both "deporting all brown people" duty and "rounding up everybody who didn't report for the draft" duty.
Shit, when you do regular military service you are expected to do a "Reserve" stint that lasts some amount of years after your active duty term is over. Thing is, unless you did some really niche job, nobody is going to take the time to hunt you down if you don't report to a reserve unit. Even with all the "we never meet recruiting numbers" articles and "retention is horrible" articles.
Assuming the leg recovers mostly okay in a few weeks, it should be able to be reintroduced to a herd of geese before they migrate. Looks kinda young but deffinitly not a baby.
Somebody doesn't live in a college town.
Not to defend their other takes but this is not what they meant at all, the hexbear dunking machine just assumed that as assuming is what it does best.
skimming through those comments... that commenter went into "The Nazi's weren't all that bad" and "Maybe Nazi's had it right about the Jews" pretty quick.
Parades are pretty expensive. Gotta clean up all the trash afterwards.
The pager attack wasn't targeted, it was just distributing thousands of exploding pagers/walkie-talkies and then pushing a button that exploded them all.
Killing Iran's "top people" is mostly bullshit as these top people in things like politics and the sciences are public figures who have publicly available addresses and do things like "go outside" and "buy food from the grocery store".
Like, the nuclear research programs aren't secret. Iran isn't engaged in a super secret Manhattan style project where all their top scientists are kept in underground bunkers for decades with no contact with the outside world, right?
Israel has had a fuckton of time to infiltrate Iranian society and decades to set up things like the local exploding drone shops though. However, how long can those last after an actual war is started?
Trump is a dummy-dum and while being totally fine being a warmonger in the sheets, will still make dove-ish statements in the streets.
Israel's "secret" is that they'll attack all the civilians and civilian infrastructure knowing (or believing) that the world will never make them stop.
So, in my recent transition from an ancient Windows OS to a Linux distribution I installed Transmission for torrenting. I had a decent experience as a user who isn't super nerdy about this stuff with the Windows version I was using.
Using it with Linux has been similarly easy but for one thing. When trying to seed torrents, after about 10ish minutes, the torrents in the list will turn red and with the word "Stalled". I can pause and restart the seeding and it clears the "Stalled" from the item on the list but it will come back after a short while.
This never happened when I was using the Windows version and I haven't been able to find an answer about what this is supposed to mean in this context online.
Anybody have any ideas what this means and what I should do to fix this if its a problem on my end?
Edit: NordVPN is blocking the ports. Weird thing is, earlier this year before switching this PC to Linux, my ancient Windows OS was running Transmission and leeching/seeding just fine through NordVPN. 
For whatever reason my brain has decided to think about this.
VLC will record the Desktop and Space Rangers but not Transformers: Devastation Though the game screen it captures for is a different size than what is captured with the Desktop while either game is running. Seeing what happens when Transformers runs results in a white screen being recorded while the game window is in focus.
My ancient Radeon graphics card and Windows 7 operating system (don't at me Linux folks, I know I know) has some screen recording stuff build into it. Will record the Desktop just fine, records only a black screen while the game is running and its window is focused for one game but records the other game just fine and at an appropriate size.
For curiosity's sake what would I be looking for as reasons or solutions to this?
Edit:
Running everything as Administrator seems to help in OBS. Who knew? 
OBS seems to play nice with Transformers: Devastation now, lets me draw the bounding box in the Game Source instead of trying to use the Display source.
Still haven't figured out why OBS is being wonky with Space Rangers not recording in "Game Source" but did get a lead on why the size is wonky in the recording of "Display Source". The max resolution for the CD version (the one I've got) is 1024x768 and my monitor is 1920x1080. (Unsure why there's a difference between what I see playing the game and what the software is recording.) And the only resolution patch I've found doesn't work on the CD version... :whomp-whomp:
... but I finally did it.
For whatever silly reason, I decided to play the 2005 version of Space Rangers ( a kinda difficult game on its easy mode) on its hardest difficulty setting and after a handful of bad starts and one very loooonnnng good run I managed to finish.
To celebrate I will use this emoji

And as penance I will start reading Capital Volume 1 as linked by comrade Vampire in their "get in nerds we're reading all volumes of Capital" reading group.
was just a mistranslation and the word was actually supposed to be "Doomocracy" and we were always just supposed to vote for the most wrong candidate or policy possible?

Not a carrier but stumbling around the internet looking for answers to questions while I work alone with no supervision I found the r/USPS subreddit.
Shitposting and bitching with some "how do I handle this situation, help!?!" posts/comments from other postal workers.
If you can stand Reddit (or just focus on exactly one sub) its not a terrible place to skim for the general ideas on what to do in what kind of situations. Its a bit more "negative" than "positive" so do what you can to keep from internalizing the negative sentiments and focus on the more factual stuff put in the posts and comments.
