Non-American, though (rightfully) heavily invested in this election.
Since I’m an otherwise powerless observer, we took our family to Tokyo Disneyland to help and distract us until the results are in.
Really feels like a surreal Last Supper moment, NGL.
That’s how you know what FreedomTM tastes like!
Israel attacked Iran, because Iran launched a missile rocket volley at them, because Israel was attacking Iranian proxy forces in Lebanon (Hezbollah), because Hezbollah was firing rockets into north Israeli settlements, because Israel was decimating the Gaza Strip, because Hamas launched an attack last October, because Israel… because Hamas… because… because… because…
In the end, this ‘an eye for an eye’ will leave the world blind.
That’s deflation, and is actually really bad for society and the economy overall.
Honestly, more workers need to unionise and restore wages to where they should be (pegging back to rates in the 80s - 90s), minimum wage should be closer $25/hr.
If real wages continue to rise higher than CPI for blue/white collar workers, rather than the capital class - things would be a lot better overall.
Reading all of this makes me thankful me in my 20s was too lazy to get contacts (despite being too self-conscious for glasses), and me in my 30s was well-off enough to afford LASIK…
…yikes!
They really shouldn’t; simply because we can’t trust Israel to be a rational actor in the region and not perform a “pre-emptive” strike.
Voting is simply putting a word in for a candidate to fill in a subordinate role to your company’s HR department.
You won’t always get the one you pick, so it’s your responsibility to put forward the best candidate (primaries), vouch for them (voting), and keep them accountable to their KPIs (individual lobbying).
ETA: Remember, you’re basically looking to hire someone to look after you, your family, your friends and your community for the next n years; it also takes a lot longer to fix something, than it did to break it initially, and fixed things still wear the scars of the past.
Can’t spend money on actual human, you absolute lunatic!
Stonks need line go up, why use man when AI smarts do trick be best?

He was discussing options where people oppose both ads and subscriptions as methods of payment for consumed media.
IMO YouTube Premium is the only subscription that I will probably never cancel as not only does it pay more to content creators than ad revenue does (per individual viewing), it directly financially supports the hundred-odd creators I enjoy (large and small).
If the cost is too high for you to justify, you can band together with friends to split the costs of a Family Plan and/or do as I do and VPN back to my home country where the cost is significantly less than it is where I live now!
…or it’s available on the service you subscribe to, but not in your region.
I just thought it was a speech impediment… 🤷🏻♂️
Because the power in question is the ability to nominate judges; and if Biden were to push through with any form of reform the GOP would make such a meal of it in the media that it would all but guarantee a Trump victory.
Best chance would be to keep mum, and hope that Kamala scrapes out a decisive victory and push through reforms as a lame duck president.
IMO: Pirate it guilt-free without a second thought. If you enjoy it, and deem it worthy of a rewatch - then buy the DVD/Blu-Ray.
Then rip a quality copy of it, and delete the previously downloaded one.
He’s got that Mierdas Touch.
I imagine it would be a HIPAA violation for hospitals to release these details; you only hear about the ones that the individual families decide to make public by speaking to journalists…
…so it’s even worse/more common than you think.
Whelp, never comment again - because you aren’t going to be able to outdo yourself after this Masterpiece. 👌🏼
It’s not a stupid decision, but a stubborn one.
I’m 100% OK with that; Apple is heavy on design aesthetics. If a user doesn’t like that, they can just use their own preferred mouse - wired or otherwise.
As a powerless outsider, I can only hope.
America has let me down so many times in the past, yet I still hope…
It’s a week in Japan in total, then a couple more weeks travelling Asia. Trying to cram in as many distractions as possible
