Drink water. It’s ok to drink other things, but in moderation.

I think there was something I read about current leadership being not as good or something, so look into that, but this guy at least is fucking cool so far.

…what else would a 747 be?

“Some” of its people? My friend, going by your quote that only speaks to how low the bar is that a majority of the people who voted in the last US election, tens upon tens of millions of people, happily voted for Donald fucking Trump. The bar is on the floor and the country can barely roll half its population over it with only a handful of people being halfway decent enough to show the world that that shithole isn’t a total write-off. That said, it’s not the rest of the world’s job to fix it for you or let this bad behaviour slide which I see being pushed for all too often.

I literally do not give a shit about “it doesn’t represent us as a whole”. Guess what, it actually 100% does. That’s how it works, and all the power in the US is concentrated in many of the worst people imaginable. You had several opprtunities in even the last decade to turn shit around and still failed spectacularly. Put on your big kid pants and do something about it or sit in the consequences of your actions and do nothing but do not try to make excuses.

He’s telling the governor that he’s insane for saying he’s not afraid and for putting a strong front up? Trump is a bully who preys on people who are scared of him and is a total coward when they stand up for themselves. Saying he’s not afraid is the same as saying “try me” and Trump routinely crumples under even that pressure. How on EARTH are ya’ll missing that at this stage of the game?

This guy talking about Biden not straight-up arresting guy(and what a precedent that would have set!) over some border regulations isn’t really relevant. It’s not news, it’s not even worth mentioning for a moment because of fucking course it didn’t happen. Should Democrats have pinned Abbot to the wall and made him answer for all his bullshit? Yea! Should they have fully arrested him? Sure, if they wanted to normalize what’s happening now to this guy.

We already know that this current admin is extremely aggressive, if you haven’t figured that out yet and find this comment to be something special then holy fuck you’re more screwed than I ever could have imagined. But then, every week I see new people from the US only now cluing into the dumpster fire that is that shithole country and acting as if they aren’t about four decades late to figuring it out. And if you think the Wisconsin governor should be crying for his mother between bouts of pissing his pants then I’ve wasted my time writing this because you’re so far beyond it.

Maybe that was my problem, even acounting for the vast stupidity of the American people I still gave ya’ll far too much credit and assumed there was maybe some kind of point to made.

Democratic governor said he’s not afraid. OP said “not afraid? It’s insane!” but then immediately gave an example of how a democrat admin responded to a republican, and the example sets the precedent that there’s nothing to worry about. It doesn’t add anything to the conversation, it doesn’t even try to point out some reason that the GOP would want to get revenge. Are you US morons so deeply fucked that you think that Biden should have been arresting these people instead of, I dunno, at least a trial? Your standards are as worthless as your country.

Ya’ll, if you can’t put that together then there’s nothing else I can do so, have a miserable day, I guess.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to say. Biden isn’t the president, [instead it’s] a complete fucking lunatic who doesn’t give a shit about the law is and he’s straight-up said he wants to jail his political opponents and/or deport them(even if they are citizens). Like, ok, so the Democrats are bad at having a spine, let me know when you’re actually part of this conversation.

Edit: add some clarity for the stupid people in the room, just in case.

I think the worst part of these high salaries is that at a certain amount of money you start paying off even big stuff pretty quickly. Working class people are so used to the idea that they will always have a rent payment or will, as far as it matters, always have a mortgage payment and/or car payment floating around. The ultra wealthy pay all that shit off right away and then continue having these sky-high yearly incomes.

His pay got cut in half, sure, but his life didn’t even need to change at all. They cut his salary in half and he didn’t even feel it.

Cops are armed, terrified, and don’t need to consider literally any consequences. Gotta love it.

Well, we also don’t include all the drunk driving deaths, or the “he gets like that when he drinks” abuse. Is cocaine worse? Yea probably. Is drinking safe enough for the favourable comparison just because it’s harder to OD? Ehhhhh…

Paper towel will also help. You’re gunna be ok.

I remember reading that, in at least one case, collecting them is difficult to the point where ports aren’t bothering. And that’s difficult on the admin side, they’re just so insane about it that the relevant authorities aren’t even really sure what’s going on or how to deal with it.

He bas been, which is the wild part. He’s not saying “oh this was a bad idea, whoops” but he is adding all kinds of exceptions all the time as major corporations tell him how awful they are. Terrified of being seen as weak, so many tariffs will remain but it is really funny watching them scramble to pretend like they aren’t the absolute worst at their jobs.

As an adjacent observer(Canada, and we have our own idiots) it’s kinda funny. The US has had so much time and so many resources to not being the shithole it is today and they just couldn’t bring themselves, as a country, to get there. Other countries have done way better with less so we know it’s possible.

So, as much as it is also scary, awful, and just plain garbage, it is a little funny as well.

The best thing you can do to control thermals on those machines is to not buy them.

Missing out on WHAT?!

Except that even if your commute is 20km that’s still going tonlast you all week. Obviously there are other trips to make but it’s definitely not stopping 99.9% of people in the middle of their commute, or even their workday, to charge.

I don’t know why so many people think whatever they buy needs to be able to handle every single fringe case they’ve never even experienced or why they think that something being absolutely adequate for their own use is somehow bad. It’s room-temp IQ bullshit and I’m tired of it.

17k for a vehicle powered by a watch battery(exaggeration) is pretty sick and more than practical, even for people in North America.

Did you miss the current situation with the guy who was perfectly legally in the US but was still sent to an El Salvador? The administration is actively fighting court orders to get him back and many people believe that he’s already dead.

What absolutely horrible people. The fuck would they know about judging someone’s well-being anyway?

And “unaccompanied”? Bros it’s a school literally their job aside from education is to supervise the children in their care.

Surprise: Zero. Good lord that is absolutely fucked. Swear to god, I feel like even the most ardent ACAB people do actually understand that police as a community service are still valuable but I’m right with them on the ACAB train because of how universally shitty cops and police departments are about things.
