aligning the racists and capital with the previously-apolitical evangelicals, which delivered a ‘winning coalition’ to a previously-struggling Republican Party

This was Nixon, and the “Southern Strategy.”. This moment marked the final demographic realignment of the Republican party and is probably Nixon’s true legacy since we’re still stuck with it to this very day. To be a little more nuanced, I suppose, the Southern Strategy probably ultimately originated with Barry Goldwater’s campaign. But Goldwater never actually made it to the presidency – to put it mildly. (Goldwater was positively obliterated by Lyndon Johnson in the 1964 election.)

But Nixon did.

Projection, projection, projection.

Anyway, right back at ya, chief.

He can order it all he wants, but that doesn’t mean any branch of the military has to actually carry out an obviously illegal order. All it means is that he theoretically “can’t” get prosecuted for trying.

Why is this on my feed AGAIN???

Welcome to the wide, wonderful, and potentially very fragmented world of the Fediverse.

I’m also going to drop this link here…

Yes. I am proud (?) to say that in my US state I could legally carry a full size functional Master Sword, or any other sword, on my belt or strapped to my back provided I didn’t brandish it at anyone without due cause.

It would technically be illegal to conceal without a permit, though, which raises some interesting logistical questions.

A RealSteel Luna in titanium.

I understood the assignment.

For Trump specifically it may be appropriate, though. The yoke of Trump’s oppression would almost certainly involve mayonnaise in it somewhere.

We could build an ark for them, maybe. Two arks. There could be an “A” ark, and then a “B” ark…

You tend not to find 26 lane highways out in the middle of the bush?

And DC. They even have it on their license plates.

If you want an identical texture from the plate on both sides, you could split your model in two laterally and print both finished faces downwards against the plate, and then glue/screw/pin/otherwise attach the two halves together afterwards.

Doing this with an inlay for the two colors would be possible, i.e. with a filament change on the same layer. If your colored bit is a separate layer on top of the other stuff that plan won’t be possible.

Back in the day I saw people making attempts at this with gimcrack setups involving household irons. Your method is probably better.

German censorship laws are both kind of weird and very strict. Thus, the versions of the various Wolfenstein games released in Germany have a lot of changes, starting with of course removing all reference to Nazi imagery. It at times baffling, and at other times highly amusing. So you’re right, in the Wolfenstein games you fight various Nazi like guys who are never actually depicted specifically as Nazis. You can’t say Nazi. You can’t even depict Nazis in a clearly unfavorable light, cast unambiguously as evil people getting slaughtered left, right, and center. There are no Nazis in Germany. There were never any Nazis in Germany…

All the swastikas and SS logos are replaced with other emblems like eagles or black triangles or similar. Blood is reduced or removed. IIRC in the original Wolf3D the dogs were replaced with giant rats. And, most hilarious of all, the portraits of Hitler on the walls in the first are still clearly Hitler, but his mustache has been removed so now he’s just “some guy.” Same with his in game sprite. This change made it to the SNES version, too. His organization gets some generic name like “The Order,” or “The Wolves,” or whatever. Notwithstanding that the original game was just outright banned in Germany for like 30 years.

Violence against humans is frowned upon or outright prohibited depending on the era in question, so enemies may have ham-fisted changes made to make them actually “robots,” by either bleeding oil or sparks or something.

For a deep dive into this sort of thing, check out the GermanPeter channel on Youtube which has a series of videos detailing all the censorship and other changes made to the Wolfenstein series, Doom, Quake, Half Life, and a other popular games.

And they have to dig him up with a spoon to do so. By hand, no outside assistance.

I find it immensely hilarious that out of all the crazy shit in FF6 like suplexing the train that takes people to the afterlife, abducting a feral kid from the Veldt, plots with mind control tiaras, Moogle genocide, Kefka poisoning an entire castle full of people, and a globe-trotting homocidal octopus, it was the Three Dream Stooges that were the last straw for your friend.

…That game actually comes off sounding really weird if you try to describe it in a single paragraph.

Somehow her navel is visible through the tube dress as well. Perhaps it just made out of Saran Wrap.

finds themselves in a social circle or job environment hostile to Linux.

Ugh. Tell me about it.

I haven’t tried to run the latest Corel graphics suite in Wine recently, but the last time I did it exploded in my face so spectacularly I think my eyebrows still haven’t fully grown back. I really need that to work for… work. Basically everything else I already use is FOSS anyway.

That is patently false.
