I'm sorry Dave, but I'm afraid I can't do that, because I don't recognize your face.

Teenwolf.

Caddyshack. Happy Gilmore a close second.

Bend it Like Beckham, or Victory.

Edit: Bad News Bears or Major League.

Seems like people don't know their Sting like they used to.

I'm in a red state. I'm in a neighborhood with a lot of of retired Republicans. I don't see a single Trump sign, but there is a growing count of Harris signs, including "Republicans for Harris." ymmv

I was going to just ask, "Why?!" but I think you summed it up pretty well.

I've sort of been forced over to Mac (not that it's a bad thing, just a thing), and Paint.NET is perhaps my biggest loss in that transition. I've loved that program since its early days, and is always one of my first installs on any new Windows installation.

Are these cars capable of passing U.S. automotive safety rules? Or is this argument moot because they can't be legally used on U.S. roads?

It's a sad commentary on our society. It isn't nearly as healthy as I mistakenly thought it was 10 years ago -- clearly I overestimated how well things were going. That this many would throw away The Great Experiment just boggles the mind.

I'm a paranoid sort. If I paraded a quarter of the signs, flags, offensive bumper stickers, et. al., of some of my neighbors in my red state, I would just expect that my property would be vandalized, my family threatened, my life endangered. I'm intentionally avoiding showing up on any "lists" that might be composed regarding people from different tribes. It's not right that this is a problem, but it is reality.

Unless my math is wrong, early September is only roughly 8 months from New Year's, not 9.

I was thinking more like an Ivy League graduate from a Lawyering the Dark Arts School of Deceptive Loopholes and Twisting, but I see your point.

Edit: added a word

Cannot recommend? Or cannot recommend enough? I don't want to put words in your mouth, but that's exactly the sort of brain typo that I would make, giving my audience exactly the opposite claim to what I'd intended, and based on context, I think the latter is what you were going for?

I've heard of Earthsea, but had no idea what it was about. Now I may need to pick it up. I rather enjoyed a more recent story with a similar plot, written by an author with, shall we say, less progressive opinions.

Considering this was a spur of the moment snap from the car, and with my phone, I'm happy how it turned out.
