Well yeah atheism is a religion. You just don't believe it's a religion.

I think the spell is based around trust, the vampire has to convince you to trust them enough (either through charm or trickery) to invite them into your private living space. I think an outhouse would work since there's a major expectation of privacy there.

I think a warrant would help the vampire convince people to trust them (a judge trusted them to execute their court order) but probably wouldn't be enough on it's own. Because it's not about convincing someone else to say it's ok to enter your home, they have to convince you to give them permission. But the vampire could say "I have been ordered by the court to search your house, may I come in?" They'd have to wait until you've read the warrant, maybe call your lawyer, and your lawyer would tell you that you have to let them in. Then you'd likely give permission to the vampire to enter your house because your lawyer told you to. Because lawyers are just another kind of blood sucker, aren't they?

But wouldn't someone have to be living in the houses? I feel like empty buildings wouldn't work.

First season was a bit procedural, but S2 may be the best season of TV of anything. Other seasons were great too, and it had the best ending of any TV show I've seen.

Based on some of the works of Elmore Leonard (author of the books movie like Get Shorty and Jackie Brown are based on) it's about an old school cowboy kind of guy by the name Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant)... but in modern times. So cowboys vs. gangsters kind of thing.

Here's the opening scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho2_c_LGZfk

Raylan isn't the most interesting character, interesting enough though because it is questioned whether he's creating situations so he can kill people, what the influence his father (a violent abusive criminal) had on him, etc. But it's kinda like Batman TAS, where the villains are the really interesting part of it. The main villain, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins), is kinda like the Joker because he knows the hero is going to win and makes all of his schemes around that.

You can skip City Primeval tho, it's kinda pointless other than the last five minutes.

So you're making excuses for antisemitism instead of speaking out against it? You're more afraid to do the right thing because you're afraid of what your little hate group will think of you.

Just search for "palestinian protests at synagogues"

If you're protesting at a synagogue in Canada you're protesting Canadian Jews, not Israel. You're against Jews in general, which is the definition of the word "antisemitism".

"Sit down and stop being condescending." -- someone that doesn't lecture people

That's a lot of rationalization and excuses for why you won't speak out against the rampant racism within your group.

Here in Canada we're needing to create protest bubbles to prevent people from harassing Canadian Jews: https://globalnews.ca/news/11265909/protest-law-blocking-school-place-fo-worshp/

Look at the people in that image. They are protesting Canadian Jews because they're angry at Jews on the other side of the world. It's antisemitism.

We went through the same thing with the Antivaxxer Convy protests. Bunch of racist assholes back then were using their antivax bullshit as a reason to go out and harass random Asian people on the street.

This movement is no different. And how effective do you think your movement will in influencing government policy when the government is busy making policies to prevent your group from engaging in antisemitic attacks?

The point of this group is obviously not to change anything, and it's turning into a hate group because no one within the group is speaking out against the antisemitism. Look at the image in the article I linked to. By their actions (harassing Canadian Jews at a synagogue), they are antisemitic people and how is anyone supposed to distinguish between that group of antisemitic assholes and any other "pro-Palestinian" protest? Given what I see posted here daily I'm doubting there is anyone that actually cares about Palestinians, it's just an excuse to express hatred and fit in with the group expressing hatred. We've seen this kind of shit happen before.

In Canada, our grandparents fought a war against antisemitc assholes, so you aren't going to intimidate very many Canadians into joining your cause when it's entangled with antisemitsm and violence. If you're looking the other way about antisemitism in your movement, you're in a hate group and people will oppose it. If you really believed in your cause you wouldn't feel the need to use violence to impose your views on others.

Yeah with how effective drones have been in Ukraine (especially in hitting the Russian Navy) I kinda doubt they'll have the capability. I feel like Taiwan is probably developing the capability to mass produce drones right now. They most definitely have the technology. Amphibious invasions are really hard to pull off, and China doesn't have a lot of naval experience. And nobody has ever done it with a thousand drone boats in the water.

And yup, authoritarians do stupid things with their military, we saw that already with Putin's invasion of Ukraine. So the question is, how stupid is Xi Jinping? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Seems a little confusing of an analogy to choose with all the antisemitism going on these days.

Also not sure why you'd choose an uprising that failed to overthrow the Nazis, with many of the people involved dying in the attempt or dying in death camps shortly afterwards. The most of those that survived all of that immigrated to Israel or the US.

I'm not sure what you're saying your goal is when this is the analogy you choose.

I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back with these obsolete tanks.
