Obviously there are many things to be concerned about here, but...a thousand simulations doesn't sound like a lot of simulations? I think even the WOPR did more than that?

Look, Rockford was a reboot of Maverick, bringing Maverick to the modern day 70s. So a new reboot should do the same, make it about some ex-cop who starts a detective agency, probably with a happy go lucky pal. Whole show runs on charm, with shaggy dog plots. Call it, like, Terriers or something.
NBC has announced another attempt at making a Rockford Files reboot pilot. Hoping they once again get Derbel McDillet to play Jim Rockford.

"Rarely in the era of mass media has U.S. imperialism been as unsubtle or as blatant"
The kidnapping of Maduro inaugurates a highly dangerous era of U.S. empire that for perhaps the first time in an era of mass media is not pretending to be anything other than a violent, extractive enterprise of domination.

The United States launches a conquest and occupation of Venezuela to extract its oil wealth. The neocon dream is the America First dream

Before feeling the need to respond to a skeet, ask yourself, "could it simply be that this person is hangry?"
one unexpected outlook change from being a dad is taking the self care people 10x more seriously when it comes to dealing with weirdly directed anger and rage (including Online). many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers

It is my understanding that partisan gerrymandering is a nonjusticiable issue.
Everyone has a list of so-called "red flags" when they're dating. And for some, especially younger Americans, different political views is a relationship deal breaker.
