Nadeshiko decides to go solo camping. To entertain herself, she decides to experiment with cooking foil-wrapped vegetables and makes friends with some kids.
Rin and Nadeshiko's sister team up to secretly observe her and make sure she hasn't gotten in over her head.
Once the sun sets, the temperatures drop below freezing and the girls are in for more than they bargained for.
Their neighbors let them warm up near their stove, and Toba takes her advisory duties seriously and comes to check on them. They sleep in her car overnight.
What TV shows are worth going back to watch?
Either great experiences that really hold up, or pillars of the form that future shows are built on the expectation of having seen.
Me: I thought I unfollowed @BadLegalTakes.
Me: Oh, no, that's just all of Twitter.
I hate everything about the Azure documentation.
The people who think we're in a Cold Civil War seem to be unaware of the serious public violence that took place in the '70s.
I gotta ask if @DrPaulGosar runs his own twitter, or if he has a social media team.
Bob: Thank you for shopping with us. Did you find everything okay?
Alice: I did fine, but you should be wary; John Cleese may be coming, and you can recreate that sketch.
Bob: Sorry, what?
Alice: I just bought the last block of cheese.
Alice: Your honor, the prosecution denied us access to the full resolution video.
Bob: That's true, but it was a mistake! We are clueless boomers who don't know how to email correctly.
Judge Trent: Hmmm...
Don't try to argue theology on Twitter.
Alice: This is a standard interpretation!
Bob: Not in my sect.
<Our Firewall prevents SQL injection attacks from reaching your app while allowing legitimate traffic.>
I press (X) to doubt.
There's a Molochian trade where you burn public trust in your entire field for a minute of attention on an unrelated issue.
Anyway, when people say <The crowd demanded an outrageous political outcome>, I have to ask if the crowd is just whiny, or if they're actually a revolution.
This begs for an analogy to temperature and pressure. Perhaps circumstances can be such that superheated public opinion will convert to revolution instantly.
Perhaps allowing a little yelling as a treat lets off steam, lowering the risk of revolution.
This is implicitly based on an assumption about the speed of the phase change. The Totalitarian assumes that a crowd can quickly become a revolution and must be prevented, while the American assumes it takes time.
Contrariwise, a Totalitarian state tries to prevent the formation of whiny crowds in the first place.
Then we can suggest that the American attitude to free speech and assembly is to allow whiny crowds, but disperse them if they become violent mobs, well before there's any risk of actual revolution.
Suppose there's a phased continuum between:
A whiny crowd
A violent mob
An actual revolution
Hmm.
