Yes. It hasn’t happened to me, but I had a close call once.

One of many things I will not be discussing with my therapist.

Tea famously does not grow in the US.

Plus, they sell in aluminum cans, which probably are sourced from Canada or Mexico, or are made in the US from aluminum sourced from Canada or Mexico.

And of course all of their machinery requires upkeep using parts and chemicals which may or may not be made abroad.

Ah, ty. I wasn’t aware it was that big of a deal nationally. It may be a particularly egregious example, but gerrymandering is extremely common in the US so I figured it was business as usually for everyone outside the state.

Uh…why are we boycotting Texas? Not that our state government hasn’t been dogshit for decades now, but I’m not aware of it being meaningfully worse than other deep red states or even the federal government under Trump II.

It does though, and it happens all the time. Many people will offer false confessions because they think the police have constructed a viable case against them and it is simply their least bad option to hope they cab get out of prison a little earlier.

They’ll also gaslight, manipulate, or torture people into confessing. It’s really fucked up.

Not european, butI just wanted to stop by and recommend checking your liquor/cocktail supply merchant or to try making it yourself.

It’s a pretty regulaely a big problem here.

But to answer your question, just check sources, verify with a second outlet, and call it out when you see it. That’s all you can do on an individual level.

Most of them are “just” a racket. They’re pointless middlemen who raise prices, but they generate sales tax so governments mandate their presence.

That being said they’re greasy as hell and deserve every bit of ire they receive. It is a very uniquely scummy business.

It isn’t an inherently problematic act in itself but it is very weird and I’d be shocked if it has ever happened without being connected to some very creepy shit.

My brother in Christ, you do not realize how down bad the 20-something girls with daddy issues are.

My best friend hooked an old guy without custody of his kids. They’re moving in together next week.

Edit: My point is that people like her exist and have their own preferences. Unfortunately the vast majority of men she goes out with are creeps. I’m going to support my friend, but I’m also doing a very in depth background check as soon as I learn his last name. The overwhelming majority of men interested in much younger women are creeps.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Damaging the health and safety of the people around you to stroke your own ego is pretty much always a dick move.

I’ve had an original g502 since they first came out. Mine was a return that had been damaged, and other than some cosmetic damage (corrosion on the scroll wheel, rubber texturing worn flat, gamergrease stuck in the cracks), it has held up remarkably well for the past 10+ years.

I’d encourage you to get a budget model from a gaming manufacturer just so you can avoid getting a mouse with integrated acceleration or something stupid like that.

There are inflatable car covers that can work, but ice never seen one in use. Everyone here accepts that you either leave the car in covered parking or you file an insurance claim when it gets too bad.

Fairphone doesn’t have the right hardware support. There’s a good comparison chart here if you aren’t in the market for a new device right now:

I’d recommend opensuse tumbleweed. Codecs can be a little weird, so I recommend installing a flatpak for VLC and your browser. Otherwise, I’ve found it to be a very similar experience.

I hate that term. Eichmann very notably revelled in his role and tried to play up how many people they killed.

Archinstall if you’re brave, endeavor if you aren’t.

Although if you don’t want to rawdog it, I’d recommend fedora or tumbleweed instead. The whole point of arch is that it’s simple to keep everything on your head.

I just did a quick google and couldn’t find a second source from a known organization.

Not saying it didn’t happen, just saying some of all of this may be misleading or might be inaccurate.

If you were a straight, white man it was a good time to exist economically with a high degree of social cohesion. Oppression was worse, but it probably was much less visible to your dad’s sort of person.

And the economy was booming. My own dad went to college full time and worked 20 hours a week loading trucks in his 20s. On this salary, he was able to buy a starter house, marry his first wife, have 2 kids, and complete his degree.

It fucking sucked if you were literally anyone else though. Married women were barely better than property, and they frequently killed themselves to escape their husbands. Spousal abuse was common and not really looked down on in many communities unless you took things “too far” and sent them to the hospital. Being queer was just straight up illegal, and you’d be imprisoned and ostracized if you were caught. Racism was…worse to say the least.

While things might have been better in the past for a specific population or from a specific point of view, always remember that we have made substantial progress even in the past decade or two. Living in the past is a fool’s paradise.
