No, the boomers had punch cards. That's an entire other level.

Not really. Being married to an EU/EEA citizen he'll get a residence in any of the other ones. But having a full passport will cut down on paperwork in the long term.

Also, it's nice here in Italy. Come over! The wife and I have been here for 7 years and once the bureaucracy is dealt with it's (mostly) quite pleasant.

Also of nitee is the "Waltz added you to the group" line. Unless The Atlantic modified the screenshot, then we know exactly what happened.

Wired "has been killing it" during the ongoing soft coup, to quote my journalist wife, and we've replaced our WaPo subscription with that. We can never dump NYT just because of the recipes.

There is no reason to be an arsehole about it.

Is this a good use for an AI image generator?

Replace "the real world" with "America" and you're right. There is plenty of real world out here where there is no need to be tied to one party. In my parliamentary elections I've had 3 parties that I'll choose from depending on what they've been doing recently. It all comes back to that stopid FPTP system forcing two parties on you.

And. And work to implement ranked choice voting. The FPTP system is the root of all this. The reason you can't realistically consider voting for a third party, and why those who did (or sat home since they had nothing realistic to vote for) handed power to Trump.

But all that will take time and is not going to help in the next couple of elections. So there also needs to be a short to medium term plan.

And a fun thing to do is to pick through your coins in your pocket and see the designs and where they're from. I currently live in Italy and we have a lot of Italian designs, of course, but also from all over. I hope one of yours will just have a maple leaf on it.
