What have the Romans ever done for us?

Privatize education. Get stock in some for-profits your shit friends own like devos, declare everyone else terrorist or on your watch listz watch "woke" chaos, award your new for profits gov contracts. And that's just education.

Planned parenthood? Immigrant support orgs? The "wrong" religious orgs(while you conveniently get kick backs from those allowed to be in favor)...

It's not that hard to solve the equation here, it's simple corruption, destruction of opposition targets, retribution, and delivering your masses the lion matinee they voted for. Like every authoritarian ever.

Deport immigrants? People are going to be running to the fucking border if there is a place that can give them a shot at affordable housing. US, Canada and most of the world in crisis because free markets only build high-end homes.

The fact that it's not interminable is the reason for optimism. The timelines are slow though and with modern technology the pendulum swings might be generations or centuries.

Medically ~~necessary~~ mandatory with those psychos. If you don't get to control whether or not to have a child, imagine what else women will not get to choose. 18 men register for selective service, and women will select which "service" they can do for their country, Botox, perma-spraytan, or augmentation. Patriot Points will be determined for those who refuse, holding camps and deportation await. A glorious future.

Bought airport food? Didn't have free corporate airline lounge meal as high-margin customer? Peasant.

Not knowing poster, is anyone sure this isn't ironic usage of "peasant" before the pitchforks are distributed?

Narrator: No one ever asked for it or is using it already.

Playing it as a bounce pass, with the ball moving up when received allows some of the inertial energy that is bouncing up rather than just laterally to be used by the receiving player to take it up for the layup or dunk rather than have to corral that portion of the lateral energy in and still finish. Basically it's the best way to move the ball as quickly to get it to that spot before defender notices and potentially intercepts it. Being a bounce pass also lowers the chance of control being lost as the lateral force is too great to handle quickly while also recipient is at speed.

Complex reasons why it was the perfect pass; doncic didn't think about it, at this level it's just intuitive that a chest pass is less ideal for a recipient on this cut. You see le ron make chest passes like this while misdirecting his eyes but those are often when the recipient is already on the block or more open.

How players pass in sports is often one of the best indicators of their skill: it can show not only awareness of the passer but when it's perfect for the recipient it shows complete empathy and understanding of the recipient's situation and takes it into account. E.g. in soccer, when an offensive player checks back/shows for the ball they often have their back to a defender coming at them; the passer however can often see the coming defender, and if there is a high level of trust and competency between passer and recipient, the passer will tell the recipient which way to turn their body when they receive the pass to avoid the defender's tackle--simply by which foot/side of the body of the recipient the passer puts the ball on. There is not time for much verbal exchange and is all on trustz timing and feel, the advantage gained can be enormous for the attacking team and can lead to easily spinning around a defender for the pass recipient when executed--or a trip to the hospital if you're an amateur. Passing matters.

Anything from Machinariun. One of my favorite games ever; art style, problem solving, homage to video games, but the music ties it all together in such a beautiful way. One of the outside problems involves helping a group of musicians get their stolen instruments back who then play a different rhythm and melody for you when you pass through.

Unless you have a legal team, you're powerless and it's CYA. I wonder who that structure benefits, possibly those with money and access to legal teams?
