I don't understand why bagpipes get such hate. The music they make is not unpleasant. And don't tell me you didn't cry when Scotty started playing "Amazing Grace" at the end of Wrath of Khan. That's impossible.
I kind of have to take the plaintiff's side. The government shouldn't be flying pride flags any more than they should be installing Nativity scenes. This isn't about agreeing or disagreeing with the opinion being expressed, but about whether the government should be expressing an opinion at all.
And really all he asked for was to work remotely for the month the flags were up, not to have them removed. I think that actually might fall within the "reasonable accommodation" laws he's invoking here.
I started using a white noise machine and fans on high when I lived down the block from a hospital emergency room. It sounded like a jet engine in my bedroom, but my brain learned to interpret the white noise as profound silence. I moved away from the hospital zone but still use the white noise to sleep.
Insurrection is weird because it's a Star Trek movie whose message is apparently anti-tech and anti-exploration. They should have called it Star Trek: The Amish Country.
What does god need with a rainbow?
