The prisoners Bush had sent to Egypt were not sent from the US, they were sent from different countries that allowed extradition to Egypt. It was disgusting and abhorrent, but it isn’t the same thing as what we’re seeing now.
Flying people from the US to foreign prisons without due process is a blatant violation of the constitution.
I like to give a thumbs up to drivers who stop for me. Not because they’re doing some huge favor, I just like to be encouraging.

There are only like 500 losing tictac toe scenarios max.
Three positions for each square (X, O, or blank), 9 squares: 3^9 = 19,683 possible game states.
Of those there are only 512 combinations where the board is compete: 2^9 = 512
Of those 512, only 16 combinations results in a win for either player. Meaning there are only 8 losing scenarios and 496 stalemate scenarios.
There are people who are categorically opposed to forcefully compelling people, and many of them use the word ‘authoritarian’.
It can be a useful term, not all systems are equally authoritarian. It’s a spectrum.

For over a decade every one of my wallpapers was an Aenami piece. They’re just so dang cool.
