Settings>Apps>Phone> Screen calls, there are 3 options for that. One let’s all through, one screens them and gives you a text transcript, the last sends them all to voicemail with a silent ring so it doesn’t disturb you.

Don’t forget the billions that DHS is getting from the defense budget. Trump routed something like $10 billion from the Navy the DHS at the end of last year.

What instances have you seen that on? Definitely should mention it/report it to those in charge of those instances and if they refuse to address it at least block those instances or if large enough of a problem discuss defederating the instance from your own.

That said, calling for people who commit illegal acts or crimes against humanity to be charged with crimes is different than calling for someone to have their nails ripped off and partially drown repeatedly.

Yeah our “Chinese” places usually just do chicken in a bunch of ways that may or may not be from Asia.

Chicken with Broccoli, Chicken and snow peas or mixed vegetables, Moo Goo Gai Pan, Curry Chicken, Szechuan Chicken, Mongolian Chicken, Kung Pao, Chicken with Cashews, Hunan with black bean sauce, hot and spicy, black pepper w/ onion, Coconut, sweet and sour, lemon, honey, sesame, Bourbon, Orange, General Tsos.

Is it all Chinese influence, no. The people making it know, the people eating it know, but if they called it “Chicken Many ways” then you wouldn’t know they sold dumplings, pork and what not, lol.

Yeah, the U.S. has something like 140,000 miles of railroads, 14x that of of a country like the UK, but because the U.S. is so massive, it is just inconvenient for most travelers, so it gets used mostly for freight shipping. (Also most of it is not high speed rails, so for many, it doesn’t make the trip for efficient time and or price wise, knowing they will likely still need to rent a car when they get to their destination)

And those unsavory people definitely can’t stay at my place, because I’ve got the 3rd amendment

Chicago is fairly well known for having trains as well. That said, I’ve never lived somewhere in the U.S. where you wouldn’t hear train horns at some point usually freight, but transport does happen as well. Dropped someone off at the train station in Nashville so they could go visit family in Michigan a little while back

Step one of leaving a light on for a month might be a big hole in this plan those days. Electricity diff would be like a dollar or 2 at worst because bulbs are like 12 watts now. If the temperature went up by a couple degrees one day the AC would make it fluctuate just as much as that and you wouldn’t even notice on a bill

Everytime, also out of curiosity… Why the hate for that when the message also says rate instead of rare? Clearly I wasn’t checking what text showed up when I typed it.

Yeah I don’t measure fecal sizes from my animals usually but I feel like the cat does it near every time, even the rare occasion he’s constipated and can’t poop.

When he had a UTI I feel like he did it after he couldn’t pee as well.

I didn’t even guess right at what the product was for. I thought they were claiming it was a slow but steady laser hair removal at first glance for people who just liked being clean shaven. I was wondering why the mask didn’t cover the chin area… Now it makes more sense

29th, not 39th from that link you gave.

Yes. That’s how things like that work. Similar to things like the playstore, or app store and such. Apple/Google/Klarna pays for the product, you pay Apple/Google/Klarna back for the product via whatever means, Mastercard, Visa etc that you attach to their store. If they don’t receive the money from you, your account goes into bad standing with Apple/Google/Klarna, not with whoever they bought the product from, because they received their payment. So if you put a stop on the payment from your bank, it will also put your account in bad standing as owing money for a product you “already received”. It’s a shit way to do things, having a middle person, but to avoid such… don’t buy things through a middleman.

Want say “Paramount plus”, buy it from Paramount, not using another service who takes it out of your bank because you gave them permissions to upon using their service.

Thousands of people run into issues because of things like this daily.

Yes, you are right. The private business they gave the money to bought it for them.

Maybe root the device and turn it into a pi-hole server, may not be the best way to do it, but it’d be a fun project and you can limit the ads on your network while just leaving it sitting near your router

I assume because they received the payment through the private business, not directly from their bank.

Yeah the variations in such should be fairly nominal comparing such a short gap of 3 years, but over time that would have effect. Like comparing the percentage of youth using data like this: https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/chart-us-population-distribution-by-age-1900-through-2060/

On average we see ~65 being the retirement age for men with some wiggle over the years, for women on the other hand that has drastically increased from 1970 till now. Which should have effected those numbers of who’s working much greater over a 50 year time period

What was wrong with it. I saw 186,000 jobs/month growth average for 2024. That’s 2,232,000 jobs. Population growth around 3.2 million.

Edit: oh I see, I put it out of per ten people in 2025 before and meant to again, lol. My bad

Yeah I was trying to show 2023 was still overly high from people going back to work. But ~7 new jobs per 10 people is decent. As on average 62-63% of our population over 16 work. So if you cut the sub 16 year olds out of the 7/10 it’s near sustainable

Yeah, especially 16-18 when I was working, I usually always had a pocket knife or multi tool on me because they would come in handy. That said, we didn’t have metal detectors or strange prison like schools like we do now apparently.
