Sure, we'll just delete some of the land in North America so everyone can live closer together.

1. "Over one billion" - the current number is around 1.1 billion, so if my napkin math is correct that's 1,100,000 x 0.66 = 726,000. Close enough for the girls I go with.

2. If you've ever learned a foreign language, especially in primary school, one of the first things you learn are nursery rhymes. I remember my French professor singing Frère Jacques to the class on day one of college.

3. Pretty much every country in Central and South America and a few islands in the Caribbean speak Spanish. They don't speak the same Spanish dialect as Spain, nor do they generally speak the same dialect as countries that border them. Languages evolve, and language alone doesn't typically inform things like nursery rhymes, culture does.

So congratulations, you're ignorant in three different languages.

I assume it depends on where you live, but police scanner radios have been around and on the shelf at stores for half a century. I imagine it's a legal grey area similar to radar detectors.

And it's easily decoded when you have the keys which, based on every other department that uses them, won't take long to leak or be cracked.Lot of folks use SDR setups on a PC to decrypt and stream police and fire radio to a service like Broadcastify

It always knows.

Not just taxes, they want all the benefits of society without contributing to it at all. They want to be able to do whatever they want without consequence. They're literal freeloaders pretending to be "free people."

Block those communities or ask the admins of your instance to defederate if there's not much redeeming content from the offending instance(s).

This is the way. The butts sacrifice themselves for the greater good.

Not necessarily. Bahamut himself was known to spar with his followers in his true dragon form to prove their worth. While it's highly unlikely, it's entirely possible to destroy him on his home plane. No god in the Faerunian pantheon is completely immortal or invincible, in fact a fair number are mortals ascended to godhood. Bhaal, Bane, and Myrkul were mortals who l killed a primordial god, then traveled to the domain of Jergal, the original god of death, to kill him. He instead offered his three portfolios to them, ascending them to godhood. Bhaal was later slain by the mortal Cyric who then took over his portfolios and ascended to godhood. Gods in Faerunian pantheon are not omnipotent or omniscient.

Businesses don't have the power to do that if we collectively tell them no. But that being said, how DO you split up a 10-day week keeping the same basic ratio of "weekend" days?

Three weekdays, followed by a single "weekend" day or mid-week break, then four weekdays followed by a two-day weekend?

"Son of a bitch" is pretty tame as swears go, particularly in the 80s where even G kids' movies would probably be pushing PG-13 these days. I do agree having otherwise clean dialogue does increase the impact when it's used, but I'd argue that it's Mandy that really sells it. There's a lot of real pain, loss, and anger behind that line when Mandy speaks it, and that gives it some serious weight.
