I will actually be very mildly surprised if he doesn’t end the conflict in Ukraine. That is very much the Democrats’ war, and Trump has been saying how stupid it is basically since day 1. He has no sympathy for the Ukrainians () and is a stingy bastard, I can absolutely see him cutting off weapons and telling Ukraine to give up.

Uteruses are also not on the ballot

I swear to god liberals think Trump has still been president the last 4 years. Roe was overturned under Biden! And they did nothing to stop it and have done nothing to fix it! And Kamala has said she will do nothing different from what Biden has done!

I genuinely do not understand what about her they think is pro-abortion

Yeah basically everyone I know spends between 40-60%

Exactly! A semi-governmental organization has good reason to have cash reserves, cash being in a place isn’t a justification of anything even if it were true!

One, interesting that they’re pulling out the old “Terrorist base under the hospital” excuse from last year, in Gaza they’ve fully stopped trying to make excuses and just attack hospitals constantly

Two, while obviously Hezbollah does not have millions of dollars in cash sitting in a bunker because they’re a real organization that would invest assets like that in some way, even if they did okay and??? That’s still none of your fucking business?

This genuinely bothers me so much, even though Israel lies constantly, even if everything they said was true they’re still in the wrong and the claims they keep making don’t justify what they’re doing even if they were true. There’s nothing saying that if a political party or local militia in a neighboring country keeps money in a bunker you can bomb whatever’s on top and take it?

Brb gonna bomb Fort Knox which is okay because the US army is hiding billions of dollars

I second the science museum

Nearly half of all renter households spend more than 30% of their income on housing costs, qualifying them as “cost-burdened”

I’m curious who the fuck the other half are. I don’t know anyone who rents who spends less than 30% of their income on housing.

It sucks that they won’t give all the shit back but the British Museum is very fucking cool. I could spend weeks there.

Sure, but I really struggle to think that of the over 3000 sheriffs and however many mayors in this country none have tried. These are not all people with a rational way of calculating personal risk. Sheriffs and mayors are largely “The most insane weirdo you could find in the county/city.” Like, the currently sitting sheriff in my hometown killed a pedestrian drunk driving and is it’s widely known he continues to drive drunk. He clearly doesn’t think that much of his own safety, is it that big of a stretch for him to decide to save America from the evil Joe Brandon just by doing his job?

Like, do you think Joe Arpaio is out here like “Man I would love to arrest Joe Biden, but due to the risk I perceive to my own safety, I’ll have to let him go”?

The complete unwillingness of anyone in the American “justice” system to do their fucking jobs is wild to me.

Like, if nothing else, being the one guy willing to go after a big fish will catapult you into a media career if you want it.

Why isn’t there one random rogue mayor or sheriff willing to take a big gamble and arrest someone powerful for blatantly breaking the law if for no other reason than clout? Why did no one arrest Trump for violating their mask mandates back when those existed? Why hasn’t anyone arrested Biden for violating US law by giving weapons to Israel? Or Nancy Pelosi for insider trading?

Like, will it work in the end? Probably not but fuck it, why not try? There’s nothing legally preventing it, technically high ranking politicians are no different from anyone else and if they commit a crime in your jurisdiction you have just as much right as with anyone else to drag them out in handcuffs, book them, and throw them in a cell awaiting trial. In fact, wealthy powerful people are a huge flight risk, you should probably deny them bail.

30% seems like a very high estimate of civilians honestly, since less than 30% of Israel’s population are civilians.

Over 90% of Israeli adults are current or former IDF. Finding a place where 30% of people are civilians would honestly be impressive.

Although following the news you’d think the IDF is somehow the world’s only all-civilian military. Like that Israeli-American “hostage” whose family the Democrats kept trotting out, who finished active duty in Gaza ~6 months before October 7th. Thats not a hostage, that’s a prisoner of war.

:this: The only innocent people who died on October 7th were Hamas fighters

My only “IoT” device is a Roomba, not whatever brand this was but it’s not like the Roomba brand is somehow immune to this kind of thing.

I love this machine, having 2 cats and a very furry dog it’s a life changer. A vacuum that runs every day on its own with me just having to empty the bin? Fucking amazing. Can’t recommend it enough.

I wish so badly that it wasn’t connected to the internet. Why do you need that? Can’t we just have some buttons to set a schedule? Did I really need an app?

Robot vacuums that have no internet connection do exist, but they’re worse. Like, they will literally just do a worse job of vacuuming your floor. The dumb ones just bump around randomly until it notices there’s no more dirt. The internet connected ones map the room and can put straight lines on the floor and make sure they don’t miss spots.

But they don’t actually need the internet for any of that aside from starting it. If the internet goes down it keeps the same schedule and map. Which means they could do all of it with no reason to connect to the internet.

They say things like “battery low” and “bin full” normally.

Why yes this is totally solvable with a colored indicator light or just beeping a certain number of times

Oh yes that’s what I was thinking of!

I had actually not heard of the second case, it was Nintendo’s roms I was thinking of

It is October 15th, 2024 and Stalin saved the world from fascism
