Try a Speed Queen and then get back to me.

Two comments and not a single coherent argument besides name calling.

I can see redditors live rent free in your head. Is there some kind of trauma they inflicted which you can’t move past?

Well that was aggressive. You seem very excited about this subject, maybe you should calm down.

There was nothing “vague” about my statement. Maduro is a dictator and the US is violating international law going after him.

Two things can be true at the same time. Maduro can be a dictator and the US can exerciser its military power illegally and attempt to intimidate and topple him.

Both can be true at the same time.

I guess I’m practically Calvin Candy if I buy food to donate to a homeless shelter…

My own thought is that he views these tokens through the eyes of a mobster. They are tokens of obedience, loyalty and subservience.

When people kiss his ass he loves it because they are acknowledging his power over them. But he doesn’t respect them and would turn on them in an instant.

Was perma banned in Reddit a few years ago for discussing ACA compliance. I saw it coming for awhile, the any comment I made no matter how inauspicious was flagged over the course of a few weeks.

After banning I was unable to post on any of my accounts. But I could change prior comments so I used an app to generate AI gibberish and replace years of comments and participation with AI bullshit to salt the earth for Reddit.

Before you leave I recommend doing the same.

Cut a 2x4 to fit in the corner then buy two screws which will fit in the existing table leg holes. Screw the 2x4 to the leg and call it a day.

Or use a Craig jig and drill some pocket holes and screw or together.

Same, I had been on android since the OG Droid and switched around the same time for similar reasons.

If Apple is going to charge premium prices just to splash ads on their products I’m moving on again.

I’ve only owned windows machines… well since my first DOS machine in the 90s. I made the switch to Mac after hearing about the embedded Ads in 11.

I’m sure there are many more going to Linux.

It depends upon the setting and what you want. Showing up to a McDonalds shift in a suite and tie trying to get the CEO job. Not so much.

Showing up to your first office job and meeting with your bosses in a nice polo or button down shirt and slacks looking professional, yes. It signals you are eager and want to succeed. Which will go a long way.

Of course you still have to put the work in. But your boss will be more likely to give you more training/work/promotions if they know you want to learn and work over someone who doesn’t give a shit.

No, no… just hear me out… at this point as an American. Perhaps we merge America with Canada instead of Canada with America.

Free healthcare, poutine, learning French in school, the Metric system. I can sign on to that.

This is a MASSIVE money grab. Instead of paying up front and outright owning the equipment. Governments will now rent equipment and Infinitum. They will pay for that tank, ship, fighter etc multiple times over the lifetime of that equipment.

You also won’t have old equipment that can be just given away or sold at a discounted rate to allies or friends like Ukraine when an emergency occurs.

I’ve had Windows machines since Windows 3.1, when it was time to start looking at buying a new machine to run Windows 11 I noped once I saw the Ads etc. etc.

This year I bought a Mac for the first time.

This is why you use AI to destroy AI.

After I was perma-banned, I used a bot to re-open my past posts and replace my original content with AI generated garbage.

Salt the fields upon which AI grows.

AI hype is papering over the bullshit economy that exists underneath it all. Only a handful of companies make up most of the gains in the past few years of the stock market. If you take that away the market has been pretty flat. Which reflects the reality for most people.

I don’t buy civ games until they release all the DLC. Since CIV 5 it seems like they have released unfinished games that lack major game mechanics on launch and the game only gets finished through DLC.

Poor adoption and sales with CIV 7 is their own fault. They have conditioned the market to wait for the DLC.

It’s simultaneously a grift and a way to impose a flat sales tax all in one package.

1. Republicans have been creaming their pants for years at the thought of imposing a regressive flat tax on all sales while doing away with income based taxation. This would forever shift the majority of the tax burden to the poor and middle class. Which is why we see Trump cutting taxes on the wealthy with his Big Ugly Bill and imposing a tariff as a way to tax the unwashed masses while simultaneously claiming he isn’t. Hopefully the courts strike down his power grab and force Congress to vote on Tariffs. The weasels will probably give it to them but at least we get to see Republicans go on record as voting for a tax increase.

2. Trump has announced or will announce tariff exemptions that benefit large companies that have donated to him. Sometime later if he feels he needs more money he will announce a higher random tariff on the exempted goods and shake these corps down for more money/favors. All the while he can claim he is doing our industry a favor.

Never forget Trump is a grifting piece of shit who will always stick it to the little guy.

22 is too young. From a purely clinical point of view your brain isn’t done maturing and you haven’t hit the prime years of your life.

But there is no option in the US for male birth control and there is a chance that the vasectomy can be reverse, so do what you think you need t so. It’s not a chance I would take though.
