Maybe you could apply different tapes or something to the keys to tell them apart.

If i got to a burger place that doesn’t have condiments on the table I’m out of there.

How many american tax dollars were wasted on this DOGE???

They’re selective about who’s protected by that rule too. I got banned for saying shit about child molesters while there was simultaneously a thread on the front page with people saying the same shit about a business executive. Those comments were still up weeks after I appealed my ban asking what the difference was. Never got an answer.

Fight back where? How? What am I supposed to be doing right now?

They’re called maps. I have several in my glove box.

At this point I’m struggling to find how staying informed even helps. The news is a constant deluge of horrible shit I can’t do anything about. I voted, I’ve already braced myself financially for what’s coming as best as I can but I suspect it won’t be enough, no one in power is doing a fucking thing to help.

Grasshoppers too. I used to fill buckets with them as a kid. I haven’t seen more than a few in the last decade.

Damn. I figured it was just grinded up cockroaches.

I forgot about that game. It was great.

Anytime I have to replace a device I find it incredibly frustrating. It certainly seems like technology is regressing. I’ve had the same phone since 2016 because nothing I’ve looked at has enough of it has to replace it and doesn’t offer anything better to make up for those deficiencies. My mouse recently developed an issue that had me looking at potential replacements and again almost nothing currently available matches it or was even close. I found two that were potentially not a downgrade and one of those had awful reviews. Instead I’m just buying the part to fix it and hopefully I’ll be able to keep limping it along for the foreseeable future. Same goes for my car. Nothing new that I’ve seen appeals to me. They’re all loaded down with infotainment bullshit that’s just a pain in the ass to deal with. Those were just 3 off the top of my head. At least with software you can usually find something open source that does what you want, but if it has to be manufactured by someone else you can forget about it.

Destroying someone’s property can ruin their life. Property is often required to make money. If your job has to close you aren’t getting paid. If someone burns your car and you can’t get to work you’re not getting paid. If you’re not getting paid you’re not getting rent/groceries. Many people don’t have much of a safety net to cover those losses.

If some egregious shit happens and people want to burn down a court house or police station I won’t bitch about it. Vandalizing places that had nothing to do with it is asshole behavior.

The Soviet Union was still Russia. They’ve not changed their attitude since then.

Russia was threatening their neighbors before NATO even existed.

NATO wouldn’t need to expand if Russia wasn’t constantly threatening their neighbors.

Phrasing

“You need to learn to compromise, we’re not asking much. It’s not going to tear your arm off to put biologically accurate data onto government documents.”

Like… Why though? For what reason does the government need this and why would a normal person even care? I could see that it needs to be documented in medical history but even then they should refer to you properly.

What is there to negotiate? If all the russians leave ukraine, ukranians will probably stop shooting them…
