The very same people who call effective, government-provided housing "ugly" are the ones who pay almost several grand a month for a cubicle with paper-thin walls. Crazy world we live in.

I'm sure that the intention of your comment is benevolent, but the greatest issue not addressed by it is that capitalist greed is relentless and now persists without mass consumption. Plastic pollution garbage gets manufactured to line up the shelves well before anyone even purchases it and tosses it away. Workers will be given the bare minumum to sustain their lives because there are a dozen or more other people willing to compete for the same job, for potentially even less. The combustible poison siphoned up from the earth will continue to be released into the atmosphere even if most people switch to battery-channeled transportation that will still break down and waste away its parts in the environment.

Bailouts

It should be considered that America is investing in its infrastructure by making sure that its educated population of professionals and pre-professionals is able to find suitable work and stable living conditions debt-free. Instead of that, we have a severe lack of foundational jobs for the educated (unless you're an overpaid nurse or engineer that will always be in demand), exacerbated cost of living, and foreign students taking away competitive education seats from American students. Everything has been one big sellout to the wealthy, domestic or otherwise, while average Americans and their students suffer. Student debt forgiveness isn't a metric designed to be measured by a sum of money arbitrarily gained in return after investing, it's an investment in the wellbeing of its society and its people.

Fascism has been here
I did ride-alongs back in freshman year at a big university. There was a digital display in the brief room showing all of the service vehicles in use at any given time and what equipment each one currently had. Only ONE being driven had a taser, all others had a rifle or shotgun in the back. They could afford a whole storeroom of ARs, but only provide one officer at a time with a taser. They were still using floppy disks in some of the rooms too.
Unbelievable and this was at least eight years ago. I'll always remember that.

I was chess club president for several years back in my high school. Now, as a 500-rated player and lifelong Mario Party connoisseur, I can guarantee you that both games feel like RNG even if I put the neurons to use.

what do these numbers mean?
It's the amount of time your computer opponent takes to make a move! I think Classical is played by an iMac G3. They're really slow and sometimes crash mid-match.

"The army who fought genocidal fascists to the death are just as bad as the genocidal fascists themselves."
You might as well full-send instead of half-assing it and proclaim that Nazis are the poor, innocent victims of unwarranted Communist aggression.

It seems that having more facts is indeed directly proportional to having more facts.

NYPD is hiring "Homeless Services Police" and ramping up "enforcement" against the unhoused.
With that kind of annual wage, you'd be one missed paycheck away from being unable to pay rent in NYC. Wonder if you'd have to arrest yourself for sleeping in the cruiser.

These are the same people who see their wacky German grandpa as a war hero who defended their reich nation from rebellious, unarmed civilians instead of the genocidal war criminal that he actually is.

Figured it's only fair I share the first post here! Shame I was only able to take the Vector out once to the range before they banned her 🙁

Thank you so much! I wrongly assumed these were California regulations. Honestly, Canada regulations seem even more wild in comparison considering the rules surrounding an 18.5" barrel threshold, restriction based simply on a named make or model, and then if the firearm was factory-built or not. Almost as if a lawyer consultation is needed before making a purchase.
