@arcadiagt5 @kenwhite.bsky.social With respect, that's a cop out. When "give the professionals time to do their job" turns into "he got away with it", the excuse doesn't fly.
A reasonable amount of time to do the job properly is one thing; letting these people continue to get away with mocking the law is another.

I meant, what's a more realistic _time frame_

@kenwhite.bsky.social So, what's a more realistic expectation, then?

@billiglarper @futurebird It's not a question of whether it's enough.

The point is that that interaction with real people is _necessary_. Not having it is a fundamental problem, in addition to any other problems.

(I also suspect, without proof, that it makes most other problems both worse and harder to address.)

@anon_opin I should say: I'm being a smartass here. It's a skilled equestrian event.

All respect to the participants, who're very good. But it's more skilled horsemanship than the sort of metal bashing most people jump to. Honestly, the NFL is closer to what most people mean by "jousting."

Very neat, though.

@nu @anon_opin Absolutely. The ostriches are a nuisance to keep, though.

@anon_opin Alas, modern jousting isn't nearly as much fun to watch as I'd hoped. (I live in Maryland, USA, and our actual state sport is jousting, for some bizzare reason.)

@sil @firefoxwebdevs I suspect they can't, even if they wanted to.
