For the convenience of our constituents, protest hours are 10:00-14:00 every second Thursday of the month. Citizens may apply for a protest permit at their local post office. In the event that potential protestors have different local post offices, each protestor must apply at all applicable post offices, indicating their post code of origin on the back of page 27 (BLUE INK ONLY). Duplicate applications will be denied. Please state clearly the reason for the proposed protest in the application in 25 words or less. Applications take approximately 6-8 weeks per word to process. Successful applicants will be notified by post no later than 12 April of the following year. Approved protests must be addressed to the brick wall behind the library and are confined to the space enclosed by the chain link fence. If multiple approved protests occur on the same day, please form a queue, tallest to shortest. The group with the most amount of members in the top quartile will be granted the protest space for the day. Others will need to re-apply after a 60-day probationary period. Chants will be kept to a conversational speaking volume. For the safety of the public, no food or drink will be allowed. Infractions of the rules as outlined in the application will result in the locking of the fence gate for a period of no less than 6 days. Further punishments are determined at the sole discretion of the Peaceable Protest Committee. Sentences start at 5 years with no maximum. Appeals may be made after the sentence has been served.

Now your house smells like candles and *that*.

I knew a nice Canadian that had a crush on me once. I still messed it up.

Definitely did not have one of those. Thanks for the info!

Also my first console, though I don’t remember a TTS module. The only thing we used the keyboard for was word scramble I think. I was very young at the time lol. Still have no clue how my parents got one, or why. My guess is off the back of a truck.

I’m partial to “One Fish, Two Fish. Three fish, Innsmouth.”

I do use DDG as my default. I was using “googling” for the sake of making a witty remark. Even so, the results are usually comparable - the first couple dozen results are mostly AI/SEO slop.

I used to be good at googling information I needed. Then Google changed what googling does.

He also ratted out his “colleagues” when they tried to start a union. Rest in piss, Terrance.
