Grass is nice. It’s nice to lay on. It’s nice to walk barefoot in. It’s soft and cushiony. It’s cool on a hot summer day.

I have zero grass though. Just rocks and fruit trees.

Congrats, your wish was granted a few years ago.

I’m going to assume you’re not being sarcastic here. Aren’t there accents in France?

That’s the point. You can also tell by watching the Elon video.

Claiming either are a Nazi salute is ridiculous. Claiming Elon was doing a salute is just as ridiculous as claiming AOC was.

You can look all of em up yourself. None of them are Nazi salutes

Edit to add ADL context:

I didn’t say it’s perfect or even good, I don’t like it either, but we’re talking rights. Here, the product has a right to take our data as long as we consent to it - and you’re wrong, we are told when they take our data, most of us just don’t read the print, and click accept.

Not sure why you’re so bitter about it, or why you’re so consistently wrong about absolute rights we do or don’t have.

Are you kidding? The Twitter files? Zuck coming out and admitting the Biden admin was pressuring them hardcore to surprise information? We’ll hopefully get fb files soon, what with Zuck trying to claim he was for free speech all along 🙄

You’re crazy if you watch even a bit of any trad news and think the Dems aren’t behind the scenes giving instructions on how they should be reporting things. Jesus, watching Newsom try and alter information about his disasterous fire/emergency prep is proof that’s happening live as I type this out.

Again, reps are realigning. It’s no longer just a party of traditional Republicans or RINOS. A lot of rational people from the right and left center have realigned under the new rep party.

It is going to be a ridiculously tight rope to walk though, making sure the small but vocal fascist portion under the tent is stomped out aggressively. We’ve just come close to the true start of a communist-style takeover, and nazism was the overreaching response last time that happened. Just have to make sure that doesn’t happen this time.

We have the right to privacy too, though the tech version you lay out here are more robust. Our right is to not purchase the products that require us to give access to our data. There are ways to keep private online, but it is much more difficult.

We’ve gotten a ton of change with trump. That’s why it’s felt so disruptive. Might not be the kind of change you were hoping for, but it’s certainly change.

What rights do you have in Europe that we don’t have in the US?

In Europe we get more rights, and in the US you loose your right to abortion entirely.

That’s not true at all. In fact, lots of states give access to abortion much longer than Europe does. And before anyone says healthcare, we do have universal healthcare, it’s just used as a safety net rather than a default. Every American has access to it as long as they meet financial requirements. I spent 4 years on it myself and it was great.

The US is not trying to take anything, we’re negotiating prices for territorial strategies.

I think whatever news you watch or listen to is fear mongering.

Creative writing.

So fun to both reach and practice, and grading homework would be far more fun and interesting.

Literally closing escrow next weekend.

I’m grateful she took such good care of the house. When I stepped inside I immediately knew it had good bones. Built in the early 80’s, I had a very thorough inspection done, and that guy was blown away. So I feel good about my purchase.

For whatever reason, we were the only offer after she was on market for 90 days. No idea why, and I spoke to a lot of people about the area, the land, just everything.

Literally none of that has anything to do with reality.

Surveillance is different than suppression. Yes, they usually go hand-in-hand, but the issue everyone was up in arms about is the censorship part, by the surveillance part.

… Are you seriously claiming the dem party is not a party of billionaires? Soros? Gates? Bloomberg? Hoffman?? I could go on.

What little business policies have Dems put in place? Seems to me the biggest dem states absolutely demolished small businesses during COVID, and have not done a gd thing to rebuild them.

Bush-era republicans haven’t done a gd thing for small businesses either, don’t get me wrong, but it’s so dumb to say the Dem party is for the little guy.

To self-study for the FE exam. It’s what freshly-graduated engineering students have to take to officially be “in-training” as an engineer.

Welp, I do not have a bachelors degree in engineering, but I’m coming up on 3 years of working in the field as a designer and next year I can also take the exam. So, I’m going to spend the next year teaching myself everything I’ll need to know.

Where my Sync peeps at??

What’s broken about Sync? I use it all the time with no issues.
