- Comment on Who should america be more concerned about MS-13 or Russia? 2 days ago:
Glorifying gang culture was really popular in the 90’s-2000’s so I was definately slightly aware of ms-13 from someplace. Maybe law and order or some other show mentioned it. I was never really aware of DT until he ran for president.

The amount of guns mechanics find just casually sitting around in customers cars is appalling. They get stolen because people leave guns in their cars and used for crimes.

Look up state laws about deposit timeframes. If they don’t return the deposit, then file a small claims lawsuit. Super easy to do, usually you can do it online. If you’re moving out of the area then you’ll have a hard time doing it because you usually have to appear in person.

It could help with global warming by decreasing consumption.
- Comment on From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs? 2 weeks ago:
Full economic boycott to teach these mooks a hard lesson. Buy used, including car parts and cars. Switch to a local credit union. Pay cash whenever possible so the cc companies don’t get their cut. Buy from locally owned places, but they could be owned by one of the nutters. Sell your unwanted items or give them to worthwhile charities or directly. Go to your library and cancel streaming services.

Increase contributions to retirement and other savings accounts like HSA and college funds.

If you’re going to retire in the next ten years you shouldn’t have ao much money in the atock market. If you’re young then this is a fire sale.
Big donors who wanted this own large private businesses and have very little market exposure.

It does have the lowest ratimg on imdb. A lot of people are sayimg the same things as I am. I did watch it on my phone because the audio on my tv setup was too hard to hear. I used good wired headphones.

It could be condensed way down and intertwined into the episodes before and after it. It was extremely dry.

Watching someone take a nap and breathe heavily and directly into their microphone in a soap opera style episode is not good.

It was five minutes worth of content stretched into 45 minutes. It was boring af. We learned that she >! Designed the concept of severence.

Because every popular show gets milked to death and executives start interjecting stupid ideas and ruin it. They already had a filler episode in season 2.
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 2 weeks ago:
McDonald’s workers don’t make $30k in a rural area either. You can get a way better job in a city. Where you gonna go in a small town?
- Comment on Why dont more people live in smaller communities , appart from economic opportunity (WFH is making it possible if not prefferable too) 2 weeks ago:
A $30k person in a town could be making $60k in a city. With two incomes, that’s an extra $30k/yr.

Only certain things cost more in cities like housing. Other things are basically the same price, especially with online options. You get paid more, which means your 401k match is more money. There’s more opportunities in cities and services like schools are generally much better because of better funding.
Yeah, if you’re childfree and wfh, it’s probably worth it to move to a lcol area. But there are a lot of things to consider.

I wish severence would have ended at season 2, exactly the way it did. I’m bracing for dissapointment.

Remember when our biggest fear was killer bees? What a quaint time in our history.
- Comment on Should I withdraw/stop putting into my 401k? 3 weeks ago:
There should be a target date fund, do that. It automatically rebalances as you reach your target date. So if you plan to retire in 2050, pick the 2050 fund.

Sometimes pooping helps.
- Comment on How do you go about getting rid of things around your home/apartment? 4 weeks ago:
Look them up on ebay/marketplace/mercari, give to friends or free group on fb, donate to good local charity, dump junk at goodwill, garbage. All in that order

Republicans srarted the abortion bogeyman as a way to get religious people to vote for them. Before that, nobody really gave much thought to it.

I’m already using linux, but my laptop is an older dell with a 5th? Gen i5 dual core. Still works fine, but i had to jankily push down on the keyboard ribbon cable with a piece of cardboard, still has sata ssd, screen could be nicer, bezels are an inch wide, etc. This an oportunity to get an uograde if companies are going to dump perfectly good hardware.

I said from the beginning that the tpm 2.0 requirement was a way to make people buy new pc’s. Good news for me who wants a laptop upgrade.
