I’d say mail boxes, at least in the area where I live. Around 10 years ago, our neighborhood was mandated to have our own separate boxes for mail/newspaper next to our house, but before then you’d have one group box for the whole neighborhood, with separate sections for each house. It’s much more efficient for delivering that way since you just go to one box rather than door to door, though it can be a bit annoying having to walk to the box every day to get your daily newspaper.

Streamers really do be instantly reversing years of their character development just by getting banned from an internet platform for a few weeks

It’s a place created as a home for jews pretty much by antisemites, with the main idea being “we’re okay with jews but only if they’re not in our country”.

There’s a lot of fascinating history about the creation of Israel by antisemites that you can find, but the gist is that zionism and antisemitism often go hand in hand, and it seems this has not really changed.

Calling democrats “Blue MAGA”, at least currently is a stretch and a half since there is still a sizeable difference between the parties, but yeah - current democrats are getting real close to pre-2000’s republicans in everything except few policies.

As you have correctly pointed out, a lot of the American liberals are unquestionably supporting Kamala no matter what she does, and it’s just so frustrating to see. People can support and vote for a party but also be critical of it much like how you can have your favorite video game and have gripes with it that you hope could have been fixed, but I guess that’s taking a backseat in favour of “politics as team sports” where the only thing that matters is beating the other side.

That being said, choosing not to vote for dems because of this is stupid - even if democrats aren’t going to shift back to center, it’s a much better alternative for the average person (foreign or otherwise) than Trump becoming the dictator. Though I worry about the future of US politics - republicans who stay with Trump are numerous, and once he’s gone then another alt-right populist is going to come, one who’s even worse than Trump (while being younger and more lucid), and there is no guarantee democrats are going to have Kamala 2 to steal the momentum back or even be able to fight them.

I swear, you could have Hitler reincarnate with Himmler as vice president looking exactly the same as how they looked like in WW2 and use the exact same rhetoric, and the current undecided voters would still be equally clueless on who to vote for, assuming they’re actually undecided and not “closeted conservative voter who doesn’t want to look bad”.

I saw one of those right-wing propaganda videos talking exactly about this, saying how this is “Kamala’s America” and people voting for her condone Haitians eating ducks from parks and pet cats, and it was incredibly funny until I read the comments, with every single one 100% believing the claims without question. I wonder if those people are bots or are they just xenophobic enough for “Haitians eating pets” to make sense without question in their worldview.

I don’t believe this would achieve anything to be honest. Consider the following: the vast majority of republicans saw Trump’s policies and Project 2025, without going “hold on, this ‘abolition of democracy and jailing of people who disagree with us’ thing is bad!”. If a Republican was actually reasonable with their morals intact, they would have hopped ship to Democratic party already or spoken out and disagreed against Trump earlier (there were a couple but they really were in a minority).

All this ‘compromising’ is going to achieve is giving some of Democrat power away to Republicans who might split from current MAGA, sure, but once another Trump is in the picture they will go back to them straight away, except this time it will be much worse.

I have prior MOBA experience and played Deadlock for around 50 hours already, and it’s a good game IMO. Of course, it’s not perfect and I do have a couple issues with it but it kinda deserves the hype.

Sounds like skill issue to be honest - if you farm well and deny you don’t fall far behind even if you eat dirt during the laning phase. Even if you get absolutely stomped and denied, there are still a lot of chances for you to return into the game by catching waves and pushing them out and jungling.

I’m kinda mid-to-high MMR right now (to the point where I can’t really play together with friends as we get always separated), and I’ve had so many games where I went 0/5 in the laning phase with a soul deficit, then ended up jungling/pushing waves/jumping on enemies if they were alone and then suddenly being top or close to top in souls on my team.

Welcome to the club - after starting to use window managers around 3 years ago at this point, I haven’t gone back. Whenever I’m forced to use Windows or a regular DE, I start instinctively abusing virtual desktops feature lol

I don’t think this is a good thing. While the current form of conservatism was kind of started by Trump via whatever horrible things he was saying, it’s a pandora’s box that was opened and will probably never be closed again as long as there’s an audience to the talking points. If Trump were to become effectively disowned by conservatives, they’re likely going to replace him with someone even worse (someone like Mike Johnson or any other christian fundamentalist) which is the true horror.

Also remember - all this talk from conservatives about Trump being a “bad candidate” is not because his policies or project 2025 are bad, it’s only because he’s no longer that popular.

This doesn’t make any sense - fighting climate change isn’t some local effort where if you suddenly stop doing CO2 emissions in your country, the country becomes suddenly safe. There needs to be a radical global cooperation for this, there’s no place for patriotism here (in fact, what needs to be done is closer to cosmopolitanism).

I read it as AI somehow making more people sick therefore more of them needing to go see pharmacists, therefore pharmacists seeing more patients

RIP. Even though she got a lot of shit from the youtube community, at least she was a bit better than what youtube currently has.

Yeah, there’s definitely some fetishization of working class going on by the media, kinda like how celebrities sometimes would cosplay as poor to appear “relatable” or something. At least this time it seems to be somewhat legit.

Conservatives only debate students who don’t know any better or barely coherent geriatrics, and it’s never in good faith

Same, as soon as I have to scroll in order to navigate my tabs I just instinctively go on a closing spree

Even if heritage was correct and left-wing terrorism was more common, it wouldn’t change the fact that left-wing terrorism is often way more moral than right-wing terrorism.

Targetting ultra-wealthy, alt-right or similar organizations in assassinations/kidnappings/robberies is infinitely better than committing ethnically-driven murders and mass shootings.

In an interview on Wednesday night with CNN host Kaitlan Collins, Sen. Chris Coons (D-Delaware), who is now in his third term, said he had a revealing conversation with an unnamed “European head of state.” That leader appeared worried about the double standard the media was applying to Biden, while largely ignoring former President Donald Trump despite his increasingly unhinged tone during press conferences and public appearances.

The article isn’t talking about regular people, but the media.

Same as you, I was somewhat already leaning towards Linux but seeing Windows 10 EOL announced around 3 years ago and seeing what new “features” are going to be implemented to Windows 11, I decided to hop ship.

The main reason for switch was privacy concerns, got redpilled by Mental Outlaw while he was still making regular Linux videos.
