A few discords I’m on for games have a lot of people crashing out. It’s pretty cathartic after seeing all the sewage they’ve been posting for the last few years.

The only way Trump gets removed from office is if a significant number of Republicans flip on Trump and try to distance themselves and the party from MAGA and his policies leading up to 2028 election. With the current state of things that seems highly unlikely though things could change over the next 18 months that would push the GOP distance themselves enough the current admin to support his removal. Though if the last 10 years have been any indication, there isn’t anywhere near enough backbone for them to turn against the far right.

It’s exactly what the co-pilot does. Communicating with the ATC, reading instruments and any relevant checklist to the pilot. During an emergency like this, the pilot’s primary job is keep both hands on the stick and do everything in their power to get the plane under control and either land safely or return to a safe altitude until they can land. The co-pilot is the one who takes a step back from controls and gets all relevant information to the pilot and ATC in the tower.
If you’ve ever watched the movie Sully, it’s a decent example where the senior/veteran pilot is attempting what he can with the controls that are responding while the co-pilot goes through the emergency checklist and attempts to restart the engines.

As much as I’d love to see them made illegal, I don’t remember the last time I saw an SUV or oversized pickup truck make a 20 foot crater.

Been a while since I’ve seen this episode, but the sum of it was needs of the many.
IIRC he and his companions were squatters, hiding out on the moon since before DS9/Terok Nor was built. No real right to be there they just setup camp one day and stayed. There is an implication he’s clinging to the memories and trauma of the occupation in very unhealthy ways and not moving on, though the episode doesn’t do a great job imo of addressing that.
Meanwhile, Bajor is in tatters post occupation (think Europe Jun-Dec 1945) and desperately trying to rebuild and get some sense of normalcy for the citizens, cities are dealing with food and resource insecurities and what natural resources the planet did have are heavily depleted due to the occupation.
Kira is sent by the government to evacuate everyone on the moon, because the moon is tectonic active, meaning with a simple boring process they can capture a lot of energy which can be pushed through replicators to produce food and building material for citizens displaced on Bajor. The number given in the series is hundreds of thousands, though realistically if used even somewhat efficiently millions of Bajorans could gain some quality of life up to what most people would consider livable rather than simply sustenance driven.
The drilling process would make the area uninhabitable and potentially overflowing with lava, and the government is getting tired of waiting. This guy and his commune were refusing to move, even though it would ultimately mean death to stay. Hence his stance of ‘if I leave, I die.’ implying he just doesn’t care and clinging to trauma from the occupation rather than getting help and salvaging what was left of his life.
TL;DR PTSD survivor refusing assistance and treatment, and actively preventing others from getting help for their own problems, given some serious tough love to force them onto the path of recovery and denying his death wish.
Texas tax your billionaires and use that fucking money to regulate and fix your fucking power grid, please.
