Yeah, they're all good! For me, I is my favorite. J is a close second. I like that the birds all inhabit approximately the same location on J though, all entering that circle. It's a nice touch. D I feel is too plain, but it may be slightly better functionally. It definitely looks more like currency. I is the most artistic and interesting I think.

    I assume these are in the same order for everyone, but I loved the first set of vertical ones; the ones with might contrast. Most of the designs felt afraid to use color, since the note is supposed to be one color to identify them easily. I honestly think having the high contrast with the birds makes them easier to identify though. 90% of it was still the right color, so that's still easy to see. Having the image stand out just gives it another identifiable piece though, which can't hurt, and it makes them look so much prettier.

    The issue is everyone else thinks they can game it too, so price predictions are built into the cost, meaning you'll probably lose. There will be others who can trade faster and have more information who will beat you 99.99% of the time.

    One bad apple spoils the bunch.

    The issue is that a good cop would take a stand against these bad cops. However, the organization protects the bad cops and makes life hell, or removes, the cops that turn against any part of the organization. They view it as "us vs them" and "if you aren't with us then you're with them and against us." Good cops aren't welcome, so the ones left are at best neutral, but I'd argue not taking a stand is evil. Just following orders wasn't an excuse for Nazis, and it isn't an excuse for cops. If you aren't fighting back then you're at least complacent.

    I've played airsoft a few times and paintball once. The airsoft field I played at had a rule where you could say "bang" or something to take someone out close up instead of shoot them (you could do either if your gun shot lower than a given speed). The paintball field had a rule where you couldn't shoot someone close up and had no close range alternative, so it was just an awkward moment if you were too close to shoot someone. It was pretty stupid.

    This is one of the things that makes right-libertarians so frustrating. Their logic never makes any sense. Letting corporations do whatever they want comes at the expense of the liberty of the people. They can't understand this though and they want to liberate corporations, assuming it somehow won't affect them.

    It could be, but it doesn't look like it really. This is the first time I'm hearing about this animal, and the images of it look fucked up already. Making it stand upright with a saw probably makes it really hard to draw.

    Based on the blocking of enlightened centrist communities, I'm assuming they think they're the only reasonable person, because they're a "centrist", and they believe this should be the only opinion others can see.

    You're probably not the only one from your instance. Most users, like me, are blocked by regex, not a precise address. I'd love to know why there's a difference, but I would be blocked on any instance with this name, despite this being my only account.

    I hope this isn't the case, but the timing of the movies is really good to get people into Dune. They'll need the books to fully understand the parallels though.

    Hopefully Trump doesn't do the things we suspect he'll do based on what he's said, but, if he does, hopefully it's a moment humanity can learn from (again). Hopefully we come out of this and people stop trusting charismatic leaders. Dune may be more relevant than ever.
