2·1 个月前I remember sitting and watching the stars or scenery when Oblivion first came out. There are a couple nice spots overlooking meadows or lakes where things are peaceful.
Also watching the sun rise in Hyrule field in Ocarina of Time. Although, that could have also been relief that the field was becoming safe.
Overlooking Lake Hyrule in Ocarina of Time or Twilight Princess was also nice.
Sessions only take place for a few months every other year. To override a veto from Abbott in July 2025, the legislature would need to wait until early 2027. In order for the legislature to act more quickly to override a veto, they would need the power to call a session or there would need to be rules added to address the vetoes that take place after the legislative session is over. I suppose the governor could be given a deadline to sign, veto, or refuse to take action on a bill a certain number of days after the conclusion of a session and the legislature could have a mini session to discuss the bills that were vetoed or where action wasn’t taken for a predetermined amount of time after the governor’s deadline.
The governor has the power to call a special session between normal sessions to address issues. Those issues are supposed to be outlined before the special session starts. Obviously he’s not going to call a session to address a bill that was vetoed unless it was maybe vetoed over a couple small points.
They would need to have another session to vote to override the veto. So they’d also need a mechanism to reconvene, given they are only in session for 140 days every other year.
By extending that session or adding another, the legislators would need more time off from their other jobs potentially at a pay cut. Legislator are only paid for time in session.
Then legislative positions would be even more inaccessible to those not already wealthy.
TX legislative pay is $7,200 per year plus a per diem of $221 while in session.
“Therefore, the total compensation for a regular session would be $38,140 ($7,200 base + $30,940 per diem). Over a two-year term, the total pay is typically around $45,340 ($7,200 base pay x 2 years + per diem for one 140-day regular session). This relatively low base pay highlights that the legislators’ roles are often viewed as part-time public service rather than full-time career positions.”

Pick up an outdoor hobby like disc golf, tennis, pickleball, golf, something that you can enjoy with other people. You can usually find an amateur league of various sports/games and that’ll keep you going when they ask if you’re coming or you’re signed up to play on a team for the season.
You may even enjoy the company of those people and do other sports/activities together.
Turning it into a game can also help.
Remember, it’s more about slowly creating a sustainable habit of moving your body that’s important. You don’t need to run a 10K tomorrow to be successful.
Maybe you can make a map of the parks around your city and put a fun sticker on each park after you visit for 30 minutes, regardless the activity. Idk, just kinda throwing stuff out there.

It’s the character Lucifer from the show Supernatural
This also implies that the denying doctor is ok with breaking an oath to do no harm.
They aren’t talking about him tripping over that tie, so it’s a different red line
She was fired because a man (without affiliation with walmart) entered the women’s restroom and verbally assaulted her. He wasn’t just factually wrong assuming that a woman can’t be tall, he entered a space that he knew he wasnt supposed to enter.

Report it to the FTC. The CAN-SPAM Act calls for something like a $50K fine for every email sent that doesn’t include a one-click unsubscribe button.
It’s the death panels they warned us they would implement when arguing against the ACA when Obama was in office.
Some of them want to be subservient. I’ve heard some even lament voting before. The Christian brainwashing is pervasive to all parts of life.
Especially since the CDC and NIH can’t make public announcements currently unless there is a health emergency, which of course is up for review. Even if the pause is short, there could still be updates to the avian flu or other diseases that they can tell us about and the review process they are implementing could greatly hamper their ability to defend against future pandemics.
Edit: evidently it’s not just a communication freeze for the NIH (National Institutes of Health)
Next year will be when bird flu spreads to humans. It’s my understanding that they found a mutated avian flu virus that was adapting to human respiratory systems in one of the people who died from avian flu. Thankfully it didn’t spread from that person, but I imagine it’s just a matter of time given how the Trump administration handled the last novel virus to affect humans.
I’m pretty sure texas still has conversion camps, I’d be surprised if other states didn’t still have them.
Not to mention the Song of Solomon
That’s not actually the original pride flag. That’s the one with 2 mission stripes that were taken away due to cost. The original had turquoise instead of blue and a pink and indigo stripe, so one color more than the rainbow. Rainbows have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
The 8 striped also symbolized different things. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBTQ)
I agree with what you’re saying. As they keep adding more things to the flag, it becomes cluttered and harder to see.
