Although we currently have an all-volunteer military, I don’t know that I could say that conscription would never be necessary. Certainly exceedingly unlikely, but not impossible. I understand the potential need for it as a backup plan, it just seems antiquated that we’re still only considering men as potential soldiers.
Same with me, they have some really awesome songs (Gay Bar, Danger, Synthesizer, a few others), but then a large part of their stuff is just really sub-par drivel, and I have trouble reconciling those two facts. I can’t believe it’s the same people that made all the same songs, did a key member of the band leave at some point?
When I initially heard that song I instantly recognized his voice, then later on heard or read something where somebody in the band said that no, it wasn’t Jack White, it was just someone else that happened to sound like him. Then, years later, I read or heard something else that said that, no, they actually joked/lied about that, it really was Jack White. Pretty sure it’s him, but that factoid has messed with me for so long.
This sounds more like a brag coming from the Right. “It’d be a damn shame if Trump showed up and bullied Kamala at the debates, I sure hope that doesn’t happen! (wink)(wink)”
Can we do something about making the Selective Service more equitable? Why is it that Men are the only ones that have to register for the draft? We have plenty of women serving in the armed forces, make everyone have to register.
He can’t pardon them, but he can probably just ignore whatever punishment is given and he’ll say he has presidential immunity (regardless of whether it fits, that’s the idea he’ll have). Then, if he becomes a sitting president, nobody will actually do anything to enforce the judgement against him and it’ll just be ignored, making presidential immunity to even state crimes a practical reality, even if it’s not a legal reality.
We’re going to have to get used to regions of the world becoming permanently uninhabitable.

Something similar had been done with Garfield I thought was the first time something like that had been done. It’s essentially the comic Heathcliff, a one-panel comics about a cat, with the title character removed. It actually creates quite a different feel than Garfield without Garfield. In those it’s often Jon just sounding crazy like he’s just talking to himself. In HwoH, they sometimes take on a different meaning or sometimes work just as well without Heathcliff. As far as I can tell the original comic is still being produced, though a different person took over from the original in 1998.

I could see something like that being done with music, I've never heard of it being done, but I could see it happen. Songs are usually just quick enough that I could see people listen to a song that evolves over time as the musician tries to get it "just right". Usually though, people form a preliminary opinion about which tracks they like on an album and if it's not good the first time, they're not as likely to re-listen to a track (even if it got updated every few weeks/months). There's a documentary on The Rolling Stones on how they came up with Sympathy for the Devil that shows how that song develops in the studio over time and it's really interesting to watch it unfold, knowing what it will eventually turn into, but I can't imagine doing that for a song that may or may not actually go anywhere.
With movies though, they probably have one shot to get it right, after that, most people aren't going to sit through another showing of a movie to see what changes they make to it (changes they may not even notice). Games are so goddamn complex though that I can't imagine any game getting released and not having to get patched at some point in its life-cycle. Plus, alot of games are meant to be played over and over again over the course of days/weeks/months, so it wouldn't be a big ask to have people download an update for a game, especially if they're fixing a bunch of shit that is annoying players.
