We all just have this pinned somewhere for easy access by now, right?

While I agree with the goal, this doesn’t make the underlying voter sentiment go away. What is the German government doing to address the underlying reasons for AFD’s rise? Regardless of their veracity, those thoughts are prevalent enough to cause this problem. While they might lessen, they won’t simply go away with the party if it’s banned. They have to be addressed, one way or another. I’m in the US, and I would argue that, out side of his base, most Trump voters don’t like the guy at all. Yet the Democrats’ “We’re not them” message has so far not been an consistent winner!

Butt, since they “have all the cards” why would the US do that!?

I’m beginning to think Trump doesn’t really know what it means to “have all the cards.” I suspect that’s why he was unable to successfully run a casino. More than once.

Despite all the headlines, I really hope Mamdani’s team has a damn good plan, because they’re going to be attacked pretty hard from all sides in the general. I wish they guy success, but the establishment’s going to fight him tooth and nail.

Meanwhile, Carney will hopefully be signing new trade deals with Japan, Mexico, and Europe, freezing the US out entirely. They should also maybe shut off the oil pipelines coming out of ‘Berta.

Oh, you haven’t heard, then?

Awhile back I read a trilogy of books called “The Iron Harvest.” Going in, I didn’t really buy the premise, but book 1 was on sale for either free or around a dollar. The premise was a near future where privacy ceased to exist. People had figured out how to make it so people could experience any past event through the eyes as a person who was there. They couldn’t change anything, but they could be in the moment as the person participating in it. I wound buying all three books.

In the past 5 or so years, I’m believing the premise more and more. What little privacy we still have will continue to be eroded away.

Something I haven’t seen mentioned is an attic fan. They’re mounted on the ceiling of your highest floor. These used to be common before AC became so widespread. Basically, you open your windows, and the fan sucks air in through the windows, through the house and up into the attic, where an exhaust fan can push it out.

Yeah, it’s easy to think people are joking about using Go Fund Me for medical treatments, but it’s real. More than that, you’ll see news stories here about people donating their money so a kid can get some treatment, or their time off so that a parent can take a kid to their treatment, and they’re treated like “feel good” stories about communities banding together rather than the dystopian hellscape that they really are. The US is capitalism run amok, and the populations of other countries really should take notice before their wealthy classes succeed in making the same political decisions that got us here. It’s already happening in the EU.

This cannot be screamed loud or often enough!

This is, increasingly, the answer.

Fortunately, my dad was a bit of a geek and movie buff, so we had a lot of VHS and LaserDisc! Got to see the Star Wars trilogy (original theatrical releases, no less, on LD). There were a bunch of others. Police Academy, Tron, Flash Gordon… too much to list.

Guy on the night shift was watching porn on his computer. When it was shown to management, they said, “how do you know it was him?” So we set up a webcam and showed them video of him watching porn. Still didn’t get fired. A little while later, one of the cleaning ladies was shocked when the elevator opened to see this guy getting a BJ. Still wasn’t fired. In fact, a few months later, he won Employee of the Month! That was a messed up place to work.

Bob sounds like a fucking legend!

So long as Tailscale maintains their free tier, they would fit OPs needs just fine. If they move to get rid of, or otherwise enshitify the free tier, there would likely be time to move to wireguard or something similar.

This is exactly what I was going to say. Never underestimate how low a Nazi is willing to go, or how creative he can be in getting there.

Actions, meet consequences! If world leaders are going to ignore multiple reports, not to mention their own country’s intelligence agencies, all saying Iran is not developing a nuclear weapon, why bother letting anyone in to inspect?

Thanks, Trump & Bibi! Working together to make everyone just a bit less safe, and the world just a bit more shitty.

Because impeaching is step one in removing. Procedure matters in these things. The one President who was almost convicted (Nixon) left when it became clear that public opinion of him was going to force the Senate’s hand to convict him. It’s all political, but it’s the only legal mechanism that exists.

Found the (Republican) American!

Good answer. Some of the comedies that have been mentioned have a lot of subtle stuff going on that really require your attention (they’re mostly still good if you’re not paying attention, though). The USA stuff was pure fluff. Much of it was actually kind of boring if you paid attention!
