You're right of course, but in a broader sense there is literally no action that anyone takes that is altruistic. We only do things that benefit us or, rarely, our group as a whole.

Thor at Pirate Software played it and really liked it, probably part of that.

This is why you wouldn't do what this guy did.

Kyle Rittenhouse is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. He took his AR-15 and drove half an hour to "protect businesses" that he had no stake in. He armed himself and then deliberately embroiled himself in a tense, riotous situation. While he might not have done anything technically illegal, he was clearly spoiling for an opportunity to brandish and use that weapon.

When you have a gun, especially a "manly" gun like an AR-15, ~~you~~ some people start having intrusive thoughts and desire to use it.

Same with police. If you dress up for war and talk up an us/them mentality eventually it boils over to what we have today. Many cops (not all) are just playing dress-up so they can play war.

There's a lot and it is quite beautiful. We just had an afternoon so we hired a small boat to take us out to Our Lady of the Rocks island church. It was awesome!

Yeah. There's no recovery for a relationship that has reached this point.

Razer designing and selling a piece of medical equipment is an idea that should never have survived the brainstorming session.

My wife and I took a cruise for our honeymoon that stopped in Kotor, Montenegro. For fun, we rented a car and drove up to Split in Croatia along the sea. That means we got to drive through that strip of Bosnia. We stopped and had lunch at a little pizza place in Neum, Bosnia.

The people in the pizza place asked us how in the world we came to be there. 😆

It's the maximum penalty, and the judge acknowledged that he had no control over it and that he wished it scaled with the contemnor's ability to pay.
