Yup, thank you again. I’d gathered from the article that it was likely a sort of political consultation but even looking in a dictionary didn’t exactly clear it up.

Thank you!

I’m a dumb American who has never seen the word surgeries used in this context. Can someone explain?

My first CRPG, and my only RPG had been D&D.

My dad ran a campaign for our family when I was seven or so. Original D&D, not even advanced. It didn’t last terribly long but left a lifelong impression.

I recently inserted Creeping Coins to my Curse of Strahd campaign, as a matter of fact.

It was an unpopular twist, despite the group carrying a fortune in cursed money and having nothing whatsoever to spend it on.

I think they mean while walking around, like how you can drink booze.

Well Ray Liotta is dead, so he’s not getting any older and probably looks horrible now. Or very dusty.

That’s not the typical application of the poophole loophole, but I approve of it.

Word.

Each syllable is also its own word.

I used to use my aeropress in the office and would bring grounds with me. The coffee maker had a hot water dispenser so that was handy.

Now I work from home.

Granted I’ve never been injured, but I’ve gotten small pieces of bone shards several times throughout my life from shredded chicken type stuff.

I dunno if they refused to pay medical bills because that’d be fucked.

But if you kill a creature, cook and debone it, yeah, occasionally a bit of bone will make it through.

You can still call it boneless, because you knew you were buying meat from a creature that normally has bones and an effort has been made to remove said bones.

I hate to say I side with the Ohio Supreme Court but I think I do.

Just as Hiro Protagonist could never be as cool as Raven, I can never be as cool as Gangster Spock.

I can live with this. One must know their place in order to grow and change.

I’m purely guessing but if the internal staffing is not changed when a new administration, than the office culture, makeup, structure, purpose, and outcome should stay roughly the same.

Only if the office is forced to reform under each administration would it really change. If it was working fine for the Tories, they’d leave it. If anyone else thought it needed to be overhauled they might have done it.

This is what people mean when they talk about the Deep State, though they whisper it conspiratorially.

It’s government professionals, doing their jobs day in and out, no matter who rules the henhouse.

What SKUmmy behavior.

Seriously?

Jack Black might want to be silly in front of audiences without fear of being shot.

I’m not talking about you or me, the average person with no exposure.

I’m talking about the people who are in front of people constantly.

Or a person who doesn’t want to be shot.

Totally agreed. Sentencing is insane and discretion was taken away from judges by congress long ago.

I’m more pointing out where he is within that system that arguing for reform. I’m not against said reform, but it’s a totally different topic.

There’s no punishment, they’re telling him that if he wants early release and intends to perform, that the content of his performance be reviewed ahead of time.

Because he would never have been able to have that performance AT ALL if still incarcerated.

He is asking for early release and it is being granted with certain restrictions.

People on probation get sent back when they break laws, violating the terms of that probation. This guy hasn’t gotten to probation yet and is more restricted.

I see your point though, and it would be double jeopardy if they fully released him while continuing to punish him in other ways. That just isn’t what’s happening here. He’s trying to get out early.
