Those two are easy. Thrift stores and farmers markets.
If your nation’s day planner is filled with one embarrassing moment after the next, do they really mean anything anymore on an individual level?
I’m an ‘84 baby like you and recently I’ve been trying to remember when the last time I actually felt national pride.
I keep thinking maybe in the general upswell of national pride post 9/11 but that was probably mostly mob mentality and juvenile ignorance.
I am proud to be a Minnesotan though! When I’m abroad in the country the other Americans I meet seem generally decent but it just doesn’t feel like home if I’m outside of my state.
I don't want to toss a bunch of EV's (even bad ones) in a landfill prematurely just because the CEO is a fascist.
This is a fair point but I would say specifically for the Cybertrucks that it might be best to salvage the batteries and electronics and scrap the rest. They’re built so poorly when I come across one while driving at speed on the road I either hurry up to pass it or slow down and let it get well ahead.
If Nader was going to write a sequel it would be about the Cybertruck.
Bingo. This was my take before I met my wife and early in our relationship. When it came time to talk about the future and we discussed marriage I asked what she wanted. For my part, I told her that I didn’t need a piece of paper from the government or a magic ceremony to commit myself to her fully.
She wanted a wedding and marriage and I wanted to give that to her. It was immediate family only, at home, with a retired judge performing a ceremony we wrote.
From a legal perspective it can be immensely more complicated long term and will almost certainly be financially more disadvantageous within the US system if you’re American to not be married.
Any kind of forced or mandated treatment for drug/alcohol users by law is wrong and punishing people for refusing treatment is also wrong.
USAID would be the agency for responding to this but they were one of DOGEs targets back in early/mid March so…
I disagree with a number of your points but I’m actually more disappointed you you took all the time to write all that out and didn’t bother to take a second to call out the poor trigger discipline shown in the picture.
Anything in the mockumentary genre because that’s kind of the point. My personal favorite is a film called Kenny from 2006.
It takes a certain kind of person to do what I do. No-one's ever impressed; no-one's ever fascinated. If you're a fireman, all the kids will want to jump on the back of the truck and follow you to a fire. There's going to be no kids willing to do that with me. So, I don't do it to impress people - it's a job, it's my trade, and I actually think I'm pretty good at it.
As someone who works in tech I’d agree with you. AI is a tool for humans to use that can help make tasks easier and lighten workload but it won’t replace them.
Thank you
