  Odds are you could live in a state that isn’t a dump like WV, without hitting income or raising cost of living much. That might be a better way to pitch it. I wouldn’t put it down to paranoia, people have a social and legal green light to openly be assholes again, as in 2016. If shtf WV will be a bad place to be.

  Much of the world has had the choice of putting your eggs in their basket, or having all your and your descendants eggs broken forever/taken away. Same thing with Europe.

  A quick water rinse is usually sufficient, if even that. They get shredded and smelted so it’ll burn off drink residues.

  I don’t suppose this really applies anywhere outside of certain countries

  In fairness this is the only way to enjoy the film. Other than media literacy YouTubers that’ll praise it in a few years, I think this is the best it’ll get in a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How did Mahmoud Khalil managed to challenge his (pending) deportation at all, while others were deported without due process? What makes Mahmous Khalil's case different?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Abrego Garcia was a permanent resident though, so it becomes more confusing.

  I wonder if they know what the hell they’re doing. Or maybe they don’t care or keep track, it’s just “how much can we get away with this time”.

  This week will be telling, unless dates get pushed back again in both cases. I guess we see if rule of law is just openly gone now, without even the usual pretenses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨gross either way, but do friends actually talk like this or would this be from people who are dating or something?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People do all kinds of strange things on the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get rid of Whatsapp?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Would it help if you told them you think Zuck is creepy? People often have a vague creeped out feeling about Facebook, Meta, and tracking. “I was messaging about (insert) here and started seeing ads for it on all my devices” might sell it and get them on your side.

  Beyond that it’s the pain point of them installing another app to communicate with likely only you, so leaning on things they already have might work. SMS/MMS may be a viable alternative, or maybe Delta Chat if they’d be willing to share an email address.

  It’s hard to deal with the saturation levels the big chat apps have so I wouldn’t rule out having to keep WhatsApp, unfortunately.

  Big Pharma lobbies too hard for that to happen, it’ll be ok. I hope medication will help your situation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon explains scam callers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By introducing gambling as a cause for debt anon can confidently assign blame, and remain an enlightened racist. That’s how it usually goes down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skill issue⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I tend to think the average person is extremely judgmental and desperate for status hierarchy. In part that’s the conclusion of the study. As you can see in the other IQ-obsessed reply, it’s not exactly uncommon.
