Also. As part of the storyline, after an accident while cleaning the Katana, he ends up a post-op trans character.

Just a guess.

If I randomly refused to sit down on a flight and yell at the crew, I'm fairly sure the police would remove me from the flight, I would be charged with something and barred from flying again. The flight would then take off without me.

The police and government are happy to have an excuse not do deport anyone, that's the only explanation.

Thomas Paine's Common Sense was published anonymously.

He should have let the English know ahead of time that he had ideas about how the colonies were run - because national security.

In Australia, you can buy a house with cash and no-one gives a shit. Why because lawyers and realestate agent's are exempt from money laundering legislation.

Repressive tolerance in action, the real criminals are enabled by the government, while ordinary citizens are fucked over.

A easy emergency action would be to ban private jets and inefficient air travel. Just ban anything that uses more than x carbon per passenger per mile. The FAA is under admin control. I guess that would piss off the wrong people.

In my experience when they don't want to hire experienced knowledgeable engineers because they will push back and tell them why their ideas are unsafe or stupid. Younger engineers will happily follow along when it's someone else's decision.

Going under cover as a twink was a great idea.

We flushed out gay superman in Iran of all places.

I held out my hands like this and pushed him right off building.

Turns out he can't fly. Got his cape though.
