American rail doesn’t exist outside of like two cities. To take public transit to work, I’d have to walk about 12km to the train station. From there, I could catch a train that runs every hour to downtown. I think that train takes about 45m, but I have no idea how often it runs. From downtown, I could transfer to light rail for 20m, transfer again to a bus for 15m, and then I could walk the last 6 blocks or so. Not counting the 12km walk, it would take at least 1:20 plus time spent waiting on transfers.

Or I could drive there in 45m of horrible traffic.

We already elect ours, and it is a clusterfuck. Elections need to have public interest or they just become a contest to see who can whip the most weirdos into the booth.

I couldn’t bear to watch her husbands video, but I saw several comments on reddit that her “friends” were spewing this shit too.

While they have admirable goals and do important work, a lot of animal rights people are fucking nuts.

No. Imagining an independent future for any state (including California and Texas) is pure cope. The states are so interdependent that attempting to secede would be ruinous for the state in question.

The only exceptions I can think of are Alaska and Hawaii, which might be able to survive if they found another country to keep them supplied and economically connected.

Nope! Medical knowledge was very anti-masturbation for a long time. Devices like this, genital mutilation, and corn flakes (no, really) were all popularized in the US by Dr. Kellogg to prevent masturbation.

Probably? While it’s weird and gross enough to current sensibilities to be sarcasm, these devices were absolutely used to prevent masturbation for several decades in the US so…who the fuck knows…?

I see your argument, but the Irish will absolutely throw hands if you call them Brits. They thing the term should only apply to people on the isle of Britain, not the British isles as a whole.

A little older. I was 11 in grade 6, but I was also the youngest student.

Because of all the DOGE cuts and/or fascist skullduggery.

They’re saying that our current ideas of male beauty have been warped heavily by drugs and plastic surgery such that we consider naturally attractive men to look unremarkable.

I don’t think it’s really considered very safe anymore, although it is still very popular.

Afaik the Colorado thing wasn’t a hate crime, it was an act of terrorism. It was motivated by political cause (antizionism), not identity (Jewishness).

I agree, except there are a lot of fucking weirdos who care way too much about random stuff. I can totally see a random 4channer running a bot to smear a TV show they don’t like or something.

Serious answer: you don’t.

HOWEVER, it doesn’t really matter. The world is a big place, and you can find a decent size group who will expound any shitty opinion when given the opportunity. You already couldn’t blindly trust the information or opinions you found online, so whether it comes from a LLM, a troll farm, or just an idiot doesn’t really matter too much.

It’s still illegal, you just aren’t super likely to get caught without the assistance of your state government.

It definitely can be that easy, yes. My most successful day was just a hook (no bait) off the side of the boat while we just let the line hang.

That being said, you can learn the local varieties of fish, their preferences for different kinds of bait, and you can explore your local area for good fishing spots.

If you have the option, there’s probably a 90 year old Korea vet who will tell you the arcane arts of catching swordfish in the rockies somewhere.

absolutely

I don’t know if you can play games on this, but I know you definitely won’t want to.

It is illegal to pump chicken full of hormones in the US. That is one problem we do not have.

Students can keep a phone in their bag if they really need it. The fact that we ever allowed kids to scroll instead of paying attention in class is absurd.
