#rules

7 posts7 participants1 post today

High in the irreverent sky
we flock of inebriated loons
flying out of formation

It's just one of those untucked nights
beneath the buzzing neon moon

Inhibitions are suspended

#Rules of engagement upended

Social norms are made to disobey
when natural urges take sway

Free styling all the way

Life is all about the laughs

No fretting about consequence
til the morning after
cleanup crew arrives
to shame and lecture
those of us unfortunates
who somehow managed to survive
the moral busting carnage
of the liberating evening

“Accountancy isn’t boring. It just has #rules to follow,” said Ava.
“Marketing has rules,” said Dan. “Don’t let your breakfast get cold.”
“Not a competition. How does a weekend to ourselves sound?”
“Delicious.”
“I’ll book a hotel.”
“Expecting us to take in the scenery?” #vss365

@ouij I cringe when I hear the word #obedience, but I get what you are trying to say and agree with the sentiment. I would rephrase it, though. We need to be #civil and follow #rules and #laws that are just. We can't have a #society without. But #lawandorder has been twisted into a #politicalweapon, a #fightingword lacking all #honesty. The political factions using that phrase are the same that support folks claiming there is no such thing as a society. #Conservatism is #nihalism

“Ready or not, age verification is rolling out across the #Internet

“It’s just a taste of the issues that many other countries might face as they launch their own systems, and it’s a situation that privacy and security experts have long warned about — to little avail.

Following a yearslong political push to make the internet safer for kids, age #verification has started seeping into online spaces across the globe. Lawmakers in the #USA, #Europe, #Australia, and elsewhere have all passed #AgeGating #rules, and platforms have begun to comply.

The likely methods for verification are similar to those in the UK. #Platforms typically ask users to either enter a #PaymentCard, upload a #GovernmenIssuedID, take a selfie, or allow a platform to use their #data (like account #CreationDates and #UserConnections) to “estimate” their age. Most rely on #ThirdParty services: #Bluesky uses the #EpicGames-owned Kids Web Services; #Reddit is working with #Persona; and #Discord has partnered with #kID.”

#jas39gripen har tydligen använts skarpt av #Thailand mot #Kambodja .

Ett stridsflyg har alltså använts i strid. Sannolikt för första gången.

Då pratar man om att det "strider mot" #Sverige ´s exportregler....

Att stridsflyg används i strid.

MEN, ett frikking stort MEN, att exportera nattsikten m.m. till #Israel som används SKARPT i #Gaza är INGET PROBLEM....

Förklara för mig som om jag är 5 år och född på planeten A6483 varför det ena är ok men inte det andra.

#3: “As to tempo, preference is also to be given to brisk compositions over slow ones (so-called blues); however, the pace must not exceed a certain degree of allegro, commensurate with the Aryan sense of discipline and moderation. On no account will Negroid excesses in tempo (so-called hot jazz) or in solo performances (so-called breaks) be tolerated”

BREAKING: #SEC Asks 8th Circ. To Rule On Abandoned #Climate Regs
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission asked the Eighth Circuit on Wednesday to decide the fate of Biden-era climate disclosure #rules that the agency has said it will no longer defend against challenges brought by Republican-led states and business interests. [via Law360]

In #USA today
we can NO longer talk about choosing between #Democrat or #'Repubblican' (MAGAs)
The choice is between #Ethics, #Morals, #Decency #Rules of Laws
and
#racism, #cruelty, #chaos, #immorality #perversion of the #MAGAGOP
Choosing between "the #State" and "Who steals the most" takes everything"
Choosing between #Institutions that help and protect #Citizens
or 'every man for himself'.
Choosing between #Democracy #freedom #civilization... #Decency
or #Fascism.
