I feel like this is too late to have any impact. Should have done this a year ago. May have even helped with the Biden reelection campaign.

Right… and your comment was in reply to someone merely proposing taxes that don’t exist yet either…

I think sin taxes are absolutely acceptable if the government is also fully paying for the healthcare of all citizens (which we should totally be doing).

The combination of the two would make America a much healthier place overall.

The only outrage I’ve seen is directed towards mods on various platforms for locking community discussion about this incident.

Beach patrol. Says City of Oceanside and there’s an ocean / pier in the background. So this is a beach parking lot.

Who says it needs to be government employees?

I’m sure there’s plenty of militias out there who would be happy to do all this rounding up for Trump, once he gives them a wink and a nod. Wouldn’t even need to pay them.

I dunno much about German politics, are they somehow in a broken / divided government or something?

Sounds like they’re saying the threat of a Trump controlled US would be a call to action to bring the government together and restore its function.

Well, a married household is basically a commune.

So people tend to “live longer” where there’s poverty, rewards for reaching old age (pensions) and poor record keeping (e.g. birth certificates). Fascinating coincidences!!

MAGA is from the 2010s

Lived in a 1Br condo with one for 5 years. Didn’t have any major beef with mine.

Only issue was they didn’t allow anyone to install air conditioners in their units when I first moved in. Then they said they’d be allowing mini-splits soon, after which it took them 2 years to get that approved. Unfortunately they had designated locations where the condenser had to go, which for the unit I was in, was right next to the front door and kitchen window. I was all ready to purchase one until that detail came out…

Ended up toughing it out for the next year until I could afford to move out into a bigger house without an HOA. Now I’m happy to have full control over anything that goes on or through my roof, attic, and exterior walls.

“Hello, my name is Trevor. I am a vampire and…”

I am a vampire and what? I am a vampire and… here’s a million dollars?

The inevitable outcome of capitalism: shittier product at twice the price

A really nice joystick, throttle, and pedals + additional button boxes for flight simulators and space simulators.

Growing up I had the cheapest little joystick and always wanted something more, but it was nixed by my parents. Now I’ve got it!
