actually, a child doesn’t have a legal right to a parent. for example, my birth certificate doesn’t list a father. legally, I never had one. of course, practically speaking, I also didn’t have one.

here’s the neat thing. in the US, rules don’t apply when you’re rich.

lmao yeah ok dude sure

that’s magic nonsense that crime dramas on TV invented. try a reverse image search and look for higher resolution versions of the image you want.

or grit your teeth and use tools that “add detail” by guessing, like AI. but keep in mind that those tools essentially lie by painting in detail that was never there to begin with.

It seems way too harsh. Shit, I’m American, and if I was in his position, I would have done the same. I got zero loyalty any state, let alone to a government that treats people the way the terrorist government of the US does.

saving as much as we can

an economic depression is going to make your spending power tank. don’t save all of your money, invest it in things that will allow you to support your well-being when things get hard. I don’t mean in stocks or whatever, I mean in things like a garden to grow as much food as possible. water filtration like a Katadyn hand pump water filter. solar panels large enough to charge your small electronics like a phone at least, and big enough to power things like your lights if you can afford it. hand tools for repairs around the house. a bidet so you don’t ever need toilet paper again. whatever you need to route your rain gutters into tanks to store water for drinking or watering plants.

you know, practical things that will help you. if you do save money, keep it hidden away in a fireproof safe inside your walls. money saved won’t do much if it’s in a bank that might decide not to let you withdraw it during a recession. I’m not saying you should go crazy and become a prepper, but taking a few steps to decrease your reliance on a functioning society will make things easier when times get hard.

it wold be better you go back to being isolated. enjoy what’s left of the world before trump stumbles his dumbass way into a nuclear war.

Yeah, let’s go ask the cavepeople of 30,000 years ago how they handled dangerous industrial jobs in a communist country.

I pay a total of $6/month for an indexer an usenet service, and $8 for a VPN. all other media, including games, I get through that.

I imagine what they earn depends on how many ad impressions they get.

How shocking.

fair point

The April 2024 vote still stings for civil liberties advocates, who thought they could count on progressives as they sought to build a bipartisan coalition with libertarian-minded Republicans.

people need to stop counting on democrats to be against expanding government powers that curtail our freedoms.

That’s going to make running anything on Windows rather uncomfortable.
