Not here for pointless arguments, and if you want that my method is block early and without regret. Living the dream in the deep south Pacific. Probably lots of dog photos, beach and bush. Failing at trying to avoid politics. I make a lot of typos.

They will take a lot of wearing in and then they will be worth it.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

Trump: "AI is based on information. I hope they're right about information. I don't know. You've gotta make a lot of money to-- there's gotta be a lot of information out there, but that seems to be pretty hot. We're leading the world on information on AI."

Ok, its fucking wimby now.

This wasn't a thing up north, but really warm winds on a sunny hot day is strangely uncomfortable.
Reminds me of Melbourne, just not so hot.

I installed 2 wifi printers last month. Neither one detected itself. Both required me to search for and separately download scanner drivers since that somehow wasn't included in the install process.

Friends should not have to ask me for help with this in the year 2025.
