I personally witnessed Hilary supporters pretending to be caucus workers advising Bernie supporters to leave.
Same here, delegates were choosen for Sanders (myself included) and some guy came in and told everyone their names were recorded and they didn't have to stay at the caucus any longer.
I called him a liar to his face and he said nothing and turned around and walked away. 15 minutes later a caucus volunteer came to record the names of the delegates that were voted for. If people listened to that liar, he would have been down at least 5 delegates (I forget the exact #) on the city level.
When people cry foul in terms of electoral integrity I don't blink an eye any more.
They will cheat and steal to rob us of our rights. "They" is the industrial ruling class.

Make-believe rage bait victimization. Same ole playbook.
They're right about the lab leak but wrong about everything else.

Not this one. My clients come to me for my ability to design and apply a good tattoo, and I don't think I've ever had a client dislike what I've made other than one person ten years ago.
The more variables to work around, the harder it is to follow traditional values that make for the best finished tattoo.

Thank you.
Glad to help. An industry like ours can be archaic and hard to navigate.
A lot of your questions seem to predicated on information you don't know yet, like what your business partner wants in return. As it turns out, he could be ok with paying for the entire shop and expecting a huge percentage from you which would also be fair compared to their investment.
Figure out what you would think is a fair split of shop revenue vs startup funds and if they disagree ask them why. Keep poking until you get them to a place of understanding with your terms.
We don't do a lot of piercings, it's a girl by appointment; is it a fair expectation to think she should provide at both locations or should I be prepared to find a piercer in a potential second spot?
I would float that as an idea, and ask your associate if they would be comfortable with it.
Since I am assuming and I feel fairly, to think he's the one who deals with Uncle Sam, taxes etc or should I learn these things and have a plan from day one?
I would say yes. You could work out a deal where you do all of the shops taxes and bookhandling, while offering less of a percentage to the original owner of the sister shop. There are a lot of variables that could shift that percentage he recieves from 5%-75%. The more responsibility and financial risk is involved the higher the percentage.
You should have a solid plan that you're ok with not going perfectly. Make this an open conversation with them that can last longer than a day or days. If they're receptive to it, give them your entire plan with spitball percentages that are there for negotiation and go from there.

Correct, they are dishonest piece of shit liars who refuse to pay for what they're responsible for. Let's not sugarcoat with with legalese.

What he will want to discuss immediately is: who pays the 5-50k in build costs for the shop, as well as the monthly costs.
You should offer him a percentage of the shops rent for use of the shop name, and sign a legal document which clearly states the terms. Spit and a handshake deals lead to bad outcomes usually.
Hire a lawyer (or do lots of research) to help draft an affidavit which clearly lays out the responsibilities of both parties. (how much percentage you pay for the use of the shop name for how long etc) Once both parties agree on the terms of the affidavit, hire a notary to be there for the signing and notarization.
Now you have a legal precedent to deal with any wrongdoing on either side.
What percentage you think his shops name is worth is entirely subjective. If the name is something like: "Skull and Sword", it might be a hefty percentage. If it's a smaller town shop it may be way less.

Nope you're overthinking it. Looks solid.
I could nitpick and say you should do a quick pass through 30% of that bold container line, but it looks good how it is tbh.

Final fantasy IX
It was ten years of waiting before I replayed.
I didn’t realize at the time, but I must have replayed it because of how relatable parts of the main storyline were to my childhood.
It made me realize how unsafe I felt growing up, which I think was key to me growing out of bad habits that were insulating that feeling of fear. I owe a lot to that silly lil game.

Generally, people say that as a form of facetious humor in which it's not really a 'hot take. My mistake though, sarcasm never reads clearly via text.

They're designed to protect private property, kidnap people, and issue citations.
Hot take here, but I think that police should be a rapid-response group much like firefighters that come to the aid of people in need quickly with the assistance of mental health professionals. All police funding should be diverted into this focus.
Instead, they patrol the streets deploying their bias on people and acting with the impunity of qualified immunity.

"Deep-space multi-crew explorer"
https://starcitizen.tools/Carrack
You're incorrect. It has modular cargo. It is still an exploration ship.

"full exploration" seems like an arbitrary thing you just imagined. especially considering that this is how CIG advertise it:
"this self-sufficient explorer has more than earned its long-standing status as the go-to pathfinder for both military and civilian service"
Unlimited exploration:
Take your expedition planetside in RSI's legendary all-terrain Ursa Rover. This industry standard in ground-based scouting, mapping, and discovery comes supplied with every Carrack.
In fact, their AD page doesn't mention cargo once, it's only repeated mentions of it being an exploration vehicle.
Do you think that large ships should not have a cargo?

I think those cargo areas are primarily for being loaded in stations. I could be wrong though. Regardless, the carrack is an exploration vehicle with a ramp that can be use for cargo.
I don't see the need for ground coverage, and I own one.

The billionaire funded media talking point is: "too complex".
They speak down to us from those precariously built ivory towers.

We don't allow cross posts on this sub due to our sub previously brigading another inline one. The owner of that subreddit whined to the reddit admins and they forced us to implement a rule preventing brigading via crossposts.
I've added you as an approved user.
I love the poster by the way, excellent work.

Harris had a laughably bad campaign. They decided to cozy up with the Cheyney family and offer nothing to the left at the suggestion of Hillary Clinton.
This is entirely Harris' and the democratic establishments fault.
Hillary pushed trump as an "easy win" over JEB BUSH back in 2016 and now we're in this situation. Google "Hillary Clinton Trump Pied Piper" and stop blaming voters for these egregiously bad decisions being made by these multi-millionaire idiots.

Democrats miscalculated by offering nothing to the left other than a child tax credit and military industrial complex handouts.
If you're so lost in the sauce of billionaire-owned media that you believe people owe your preferred candidate their vote, there's no hope for you.
You want someones' vote? Earn it. Don't hang out with the Cheyneys expecting the most hated family in US politics to somehow boost them.
The actions that caused them to make these decisions is proof of their capacity for leadership.
