Immigrants should do their civic duty as members of the society they wish to join, by learning basic civics.

But overall, this election is the fault of religious dumbasses who are brainwashed by dumbass preachers illegally promoting their politics based on religious fantasies about demons and armageddon.

Uh, just basic knowledge of how the President’s job works? Stuff we learn in grade school. Everyone should know this, but people are idiots.

So sad that dumbasses who think the President controls grocery store prices and gas prices have done this to us all.

I voted for Harris and my state went red for Trump as usual. Just sad and disgusted at it all today.

They were all ancient ladies with curly grandma-fro hairdos at ours

Not anytime soon.

No it isn’t, they don’t have phones.

Wow I’m really glad I had heard stories about that stuff in the past. I had to see specialists for back problems and they offered that drug, and I said no thanks, and physical therapy did the trick for me also. I feel like I end up turning down half the drugs the doctors offer me in recent years.

You are correct, and that guy doesn’t know he’s deaf I guess. All pistols are loud enough to hurt your ears if your ears are normal. Even a .22LR pistol with a 6" target barrel is pretty loud to the naked ear.

You have a really optimistic view of how the police would respond there. I’d wager that they would be more likely to be mad at you for bothering them with that complaint than actually do anything about it. In my experience, helpful cops are rare.

So many movies show people getting into gun battles indoors, and they will jump behind a couch or flip over a coffee table and take shelter from a hail of bullets, like that thin furniture is going to stop anything.

I see cash businesses all the time that can operate without power or Internet. Festival / market vendors, food trucks, etc. It’s not hard to count money, give change, write down a receipt if needed.

That would be no problem, unless your electricity is unreliable and you don’t have a UPS. I rarely use the power button on any of my PCs or Macs, except the one old PC that can’t do S3 sleep anymore (crashes on wake).

Are y’all not using sleep mode? Also the Apple M-cpus are extremely power efficient so leaving it on without sleep mode is a perfectly fine option too.

Just like a Raspberry Pi needs a dongle for a power button, except the Mini has one already.

Yeah that’s a good point. Tears of the Kingdom takes all that and dials it up to 11 with the flying and vehicles

I was just thinking this morning about how cloudy / stormy days are often windy, and that combining windmills with solar seems ideal even on the small scale.

I’m not gonna downvote Death Stranding, but it’s not much like Zelda BOTW at all. DS is the best “strand type” video game around. Breath of the Wild is an awesome Zelda RPG-lite with a vast open world and tons of stuff to do. Elden Ring is the best RPG like and Souls-like game of all time to present day.

Wow that’s horrible, and has to be terrible for kids’ mental health and general perspective on the world. Kids should know what freedom feels like and expect it as the default, and this kind of repression is liable to result in more outbursts of any kind.

Yeah the Max Headroom show covered this topic back in 1987

Here in the USA my mortgage on a modestly sized house is half that cost. Owning a home in the EU sounds much more expensive to me.

State Farm also screwed over a guy I know. He dumped their policy after they wouldn’t pay anything on his accident (much less dramatic than yours) where they had some kind of parking related crash with 2 of their cars at home. State Farm told him that he could not be covered for an accident with another car on his policy because he “can’t sue himself” so it sounds like they are only paying out when they have someone to sue about it.
