In another timeline, Hillary Clinton wins. Merrick Garland becomes a Justice. RBG retires. Anthony Kennedy doesn't.
There is no Gorsuch. There is no Kavanaugh. There is no Coney Barrett.
These are the consequences of one election.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

In another timeline, Beccs becomes Dictator for Life of the US, Trump and his ilk are sent for re-education and are shot trying to escape, SCOTUS is declared irrelevant and all decisions are now made directly by the Dictator.

That said, Avengers 1998, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 should be assumed to have big question marks hanging over them due to my not being sure about how long-term the VPN Dad and I just purchased is going to end up being. Also, it might be a bit too tight for me to take on Species: The Awakening on Sunday, depending on how long Classical Mystery Tour at Ravinia ends up being. However, I might find time on the Fourth.

I injure myself on the reg (not self-harm, just clumsy). It's odd that the injuries which cause the most pain tend to be less serious overall and vice versa.

Quote:A worker in Chile submitted his resignation and could not be found after his job accidentally paid him about 330 times his salary because of a payroll error, according to reports.
The worker, a dispatch assistant at cold meats manufacturer Consorcio Industrial de Alimentos, received a paycheck of 165,398,851 Chilean pesos, or $180,418, for the month of May. He was only supposed to be paid about 500,000 Chilean pesos, or $545.
The worker initially alerted his manager of the massive overpayment, according to local media outlet Diario Financiero.
The manager would then report the issue to human resources, who asked the worker to go to his bank and return the extra money.

He agreed to go to the bank the next day, but kept the money and ignored communications from his employer over the next few days.

I came into this world naked, screaming, and covered in someone else's blood, and I intend to leave it the same way.

That explains it. I've never heard of those movies.
