It is bizarre to me that someone ever thought to arrange events like that.

I like it of course but still don't understand the chain of events that could lead to it happening.

Personally I just meant them as being extremely hard to define in this context.

And my self assessment is that I treat everyone the same, giving them the benefit of the doubt, at least until they prove themselves to be malicious. I definitely have no qualms cutting people off who try to actively damage my life.

Yea. I still seriously believe that over half of people are "fundamentally" "good" and that they just make mistakes etc.

And I definitely knew about how bad people could be due to access to good history books and parents who told me about things like the Belgian Congo.

But my kid self would have been shocked at how common people being shit to each other is and the incredible scale of damage the most powerful are able to do to the world.

And be massively downsized. The funding needs to go to different areas or at least specialties for response.

I too would hate a world with no police but I could easily get behind practically anything proposed short of that.

I do not know. However I do have what I consider a good guess.

I think they had to dig up that square to redo something under it like sewer lines or something and the crew repaved just the part they dug up.

We have some and in our case it isn't about the timer function but the RFID tags on the cat collars because one will steal from the other two.

I can't speak for anyone else but they kept working for us. Only possible difference I can think of is that we did make sure to put in the optional D cell batteries.

I totally support this. I'm also ok as long as games are structured to allow easy modding to do the same. It should be common enough that a specific warning on games that don't have it on platforms like Steam.

Yep I'm aware of the crossovers but even then the Phineas and Ferb effect seems to make up for it just fine. Even the Milo Murphy crossover included... Probably just choose not to live near his family although it would keep life interesting and I assume property prices are basically free there.

If we assume I'm not one of the main characters but by living in the world it follows basically the same rules as them. Then zero question Phineas and Ferb.

I see so many people saying Star Trek but there are so many wars and other major issues in that world. In P&F the worst evil people in the world are part of LOVE MUFFIN and able to be completely handled and even often rehabilitated by animal agents.

I would love to see a lot of cars like this converted to EV this way. I remember loving this type of vehicle in the past. I specifically had a 1980 Oldsmobile

Empire is actually quite literal too.

While their organized crime was the normal illegal and semi hidden type through a huge percentage of the galaxy they did also have worlds they literally were the legitimate and direct government for.

Some of the city states in Italy history do fit fairly well to this.

For Ladybird I think due to politics of the/a lead developer. I haven't looked into it and don't know it it is well deserved or silly. Just enough of a thing that I have seen it complained about before.

For Servo I have no clue why someone would downvote over that.
