Meanwhile a surprising number of outlets are advertising %100, including corporate ghouls like iHeartRadio. Hopefully that trend continues as people get sick of slop pushed in marketing.

Interestingly, many skip that first step. Iirc, it’s about 30% who don’t get more awake but rather start to relax under caffeine. About the same % who also need to poop right after, but not the same people. Lol

It’s not legally martial law, but I haven’t claimed anything he’s going is legal. Nor are all things legal okay-- tear gassing people is legal, somehow, but not ok.

But I’m in a city he sent ICE. On average it’s more a secret police operation than a military coup.

True. Maybe a guide that mentions the big names would suffice? I have a friend scared away with the choice paralysis.

The Linux part is a bit of an afterthought in that announcement but it’d be pretty cool if they’d just go all in. They admit they’re the main browser of most Linux distros after all, why not give a specific setup a shout-out? Most of the confusion in switching is in distro and interface, after all.

As much as I believe Trump should face literally any punishment over January 6th riots, the Korean ex-president ordered a martial law shutdown and involved the military. This is more akin to what Trump is going to do in 2026 and/or 2028 when he suspends elections over martial law.

Inciting a mob is still illegal, but it’s a bit harder to prove beyond a reasonable doubt than ordering your military to stop Congress from acting. Of course, I’m not counting on Congress to even hold him accountable for abusing martial law (he’s committed crimes magnitudes worse than Jan 6th since then without any repercussions), just that we haven’t seen the martial law version yet.

BS story, but there are indeed issues. I’ve got a 2 and 3 year old myself, and speaking from experience, it’s a mess that’ll put me in the red until my 3yo is 5, eating into my savings.

As mentioned, private is still the primary option for kids under 4 but we even have a lovely local program that can start at 3 if you’re poor enough (and in CA, that’s around 100k/yr lol). The problem is the time. They’re like 3 hour programs, some full time that’s still only 6 hour. With two working parents with minimal family support, that’s still a non starter if they can’t stay past 3pm.

At least my private daycare is cheap-ish at the cost of religious brainwashing, and that hasn’t seemed to matter for a kid like mine. Standards still keep them from, y’know, beating kids and whatnot.

Many locations had it but I’m unsure just how much was state, and even then, they usually had poverty requirements. After all, I’m a recipient and that was over three decades ago. Iirc, that was majority federal funded.

You’re looking at a mix of local, state and federal funding, and an expansion at the state level is big for less rich parts of CA, like Bakersfield and Fresno.

I hope not, but I wouldn’t be surprised. I’m aware there’s been a few high profile ICE incidents in Santa Ana in particular, but most of the people there are still citizens; it might be the obvious racism that makes things tense. They’ve always had a hard time dealing with their conservative neighbors, though.

Fucking evil. Know why? My wife got her Green Card in the USCIS in Santa Ana in the same building as ICE is setting up in. They’re 100% going to use this as a way to target people seeking legal status, guaranteed.

I believe the same is true of the federal building in LA, too. One could make the point that no one in the entire state will house ICE except that which is owned already by the feds, but to share buildings with people seeking legal status is absolutely abhorrent.

Sigh… reminds me I have to file my US tax returns.

Next you’ll be telling me you missed tank controls in games. Why strafe when you can slowly rotate to turn?

I still never liked that. It’s the best of a bad situation, but aiming with a mouse is so superior, many games won’t cross-platform with a PC out of fairness, lol.

I was a teenager when 9/11 happened and even my stupid ass knew that, along with all the patriot act shit, was going to be a problem.

I do know MAGA men have never stepped foot in a kitchen their entire lives, but I find that explanation a little too far fetched. He probably knows what vinegar is from the Lays potato chips he doesn’t buy since they’re too sour and hurt his excessively thin skin.

However, I do like the idea of him walking around with a bottle of vinegar, being too afraid to touch it.

What the fuck was that choice? Like… what, kinda smelly but edible enough that you could fool security by taking a little sip or something? Why not go with white vinegar in a water bottle? Actually, why vinegar at all? I have so many questions.

Also obligatory fuck that guy.

Edit: my leading theory is someone sold it to him as something dangerous, or there’s a 4chan rumor that it hurts witches or something.

Every morning, instead of pouring ourselves a bowl of cereal, we get a bowl of war crimes.

Hehe, it’s great work btw. You can only do so much with round balloons and I can’t imagine fire or logs in any other ballonish shape. Lol

My thought exactly. Although worms coming out of them and doing weird stuff to lady liberty there.

The immigration part isn’t new, but her economic stance… she has said Margret Thatcher is an inspiration. It’s just that bad. Her views on gender are also quite backwards, which is ironic given she’s the first female Japanese PM.
