So do I. Also the only time I had an outage in 25 years was due to equipment failure and, there also was a planned maintenance. It never took longer than a couple hours.

Grocery bags cost like what? 50 cents? It encourages having reusable bags which are more practical anyway and don’t break as often.

As for gas, this is a problem with location. On one side we have ocean on the other we have mountains. This causes pollution to be trapped.

This is why Los Angeles was infamous for its smog in 70s and 80s. Catalysts and specifically refined oil helped being it back to healthy levels.

Also I don’t get the obsession with the gas. If you look at prices the gas prices were static for nearly 15 years. It is ridiculous that this is still an argument to anything.

Anti-dragon cream.

I love “California disaster” arguments. I have some MAGA relatives that currently live in California, they decided to move and in 2022 in summer visited non-“marxist” states. And you know what? They ended up staying.

I live in California for 25 years now and I love my state. The most opinionated about how shitty California is are people who never been here.

He didn’t hold both chambers. The two “democrats” who supposedly won in Senate even changed their party affiliation after winning.

1st. He didn’t win by 5 million, he won by 7 million. 2nd what you’re talking about wasn’t result of popularity, but how our election system is messed up, where some votes matter more than others. trump not even once won a popular vote. Even against Hilary he lost by nearly 3 million.

Be Best

Constitution only matters if it is being enforced. And 2017-2020 showed us that very few Republicans were willing to do that.

Currently SCOTUS is debating whether president has absolute immunity (in other words, if he can commit any crime, including murdering his political opponents) something that is absolutely against our constitution, yet they have to debate it.

Yeah, sure. And what prompted trump to show up in DC in January 6th, which before 2021 was day that didn’t have any special meaning in US history?

I highly recommend “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century” by historian Timothy Snyder If you can’t get a book or audio book the author also reads it on YouTube.

This is what it is called a programming language, it only exists to be able to tell the machine what to do in an unambiguous (in contrast to natural language) way.

Thanks, the article was accessible for me so I thought it would be also for others.

Very creative how Kaspersky used SEO to hide this story. When searching you have to exclude all of their sites to find it.

To be fair, he provided instructions.

It’s not.

The red line was placed by US itself as a response to Russia threatening using nuclear weapons if Ukraine gets any help.

Russia of course didn’t, but adopted that red line itself and used it on its propaganda.

As they started offensive on Kharkiv, and started bombing Ukraine from behind the border so Ukraine wouldn’t be able to respond, they essentially forced change of that red line.

US allowed to use of its weapons in that area.

Now the problem for Russia is:

• it was easy to say “no Western weapon can be used on territory of Russia”, but now they can’t say “it was fine to use Western weapons on Belogrod, but Rostov-on-don is a red line” that doesn’t work well in propaganda, is putin saying Belogrod isn’t Russia?
• other Western nations gave permission to use their weapons anywhere in Russia with no restrictions
• the actual agreement where Ukraine can hit and where it can’t are secret and known only to US and Ukraine

This means Russia (including maga politicians) once it stops with this sabre rattling, won’t really have much way to use propaganda about future changes.

The agreement being secret will also allow to be modified without much headlines. We will only learn after the fact. For example Russia reporting they saw fragments of US weapons in different areas. Most won’t care anymore.

Oh, don’t worry, there will be full permission. In a few weeks, and it will be without headlines.

The initial plan of US was to weaken Russia and make putin withdraw on its own.

With recent delivery of long distance munition, changing policy on hitting into Russia and imposing sanctions on banks it is clear that the policy changed to let Ukraine defeat Russia even if it would result in a collapse of RF.

One was trying to pass a law to sanction ICC the other said it was outrageous to equate Israel with Hamas.

Well Mike Johnson would be most fitting as he is the speaker and decides which bills are up for a vote.

The picture shows Biden but the text says House which is controlled by Republicans.

Very disingenuous. Not even the same branch of the government.
