Magic erasers will do the trick but you have to rub lightly to not scuff up the wood
- Comment on If a person goes "missing" and never found. How long does it take for life insurance to kick in and bank accounts resort back to the family? 1 week ago:
While i get the desire not giving your love ones closure would be hell for them. Also being missing can make insurance harder to claim.

- Comment on How would Asian countries treat American passport holders in the event of a collapse? 2 weeks ago:
Its the same Parliament as the current Parliament there is no such thing as the EU Parliament. Word do have meaning and you need to learn to read.
- Comment on How would Asian countries treat American passport holders in the event of a collapse? 2 weeks ago:
What ever you want to call it the EU Parliament was founded 10 September 1952 if you want to be generous the first election that shows continuity of leadership was 1979 well before the fall. en.wikipedia.org/…/1979_European_Parliament_elect…

- Comment on Are Independents just embarrassed Republicans like Libertarians Apolitical and Moderates? 2 weeks ago:
Your correct I do in 99.5% of cases but depending on your location sometimes you only have the choice of Republicans then it goes into harm reduction mode. I have also had to vote for what I call ratchet democrats as they are put in power by corporate interests to stop any progress when dems are in power. I hold my nose as I do it but like I said at the end of the day its about harm reduction.
- Comment on Are Independents just embarrassed Republicans like Libertarians Apolitical and Moderates? 2 weeks ago:
Most independents I know are very progressive but don’t pick a team. They defined their political views on an issue by issue basis. The problem with picking a team is picking that identity and letting the party dictate what you should think. Being a proper independent takes more work. You have to read into each candidate not just pick a letter.
Also you have tactical voting. I vote in every primary as a Republican to put the progressive in the best position then vote against them in the general if that makes sense for that race. Sometimes the progressive are not running in that district so in that case you vote the moderate Republican in the primary to do the least amount of harm to progressives.
I honesty wish more progressives would run in Republicans races incognito. so we can fuck up their numbers like Sinema or Fetterman.

- Comment on I was the only one who thought this of Erica Ortega was non-binary or trans? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I mean she was gender swamped from her TOS counterpart. But really the beauty of star trek is it really shouldn’t matter. She was pilot first that happens to identity as a woman and likes her hair styled that way.
That is what was star trek all about is not about calling out each identity, race and culture in celebration in an after school special kind of way but to normalize all kinds of people being up on that bridge.
- Comment on Do you think that these CBS employees should unionize and go on strike? 3 weeks ago:
Of course what I mean is with the people I’m dealing with. For example airline flight crew goes on strike. The guy at the ticket counter is not the one that did it. But I would blow up the executives in a heart beat.
- Comment on Do you think that these CBS employees should unionize and go on strike? 3 weeks ago:
The moment I get inconvenienced and hear its about a strike. I never blame the workers and my annoyance is halved.
- Comment on Valve has raised Steam Deck prices in the US 3 weeks ago:
Oof I mean I’m glad they are back in stock again but that stings. I do see valve being the only company that would lower them as soon as they are able though. Public shareholders wouldn’t let them if they were public.
- Comment on What's with black superheroes and lightning powers? 4 weeks ago:
Iris West, hawkgirl, jimmy olsen, Starfire, batwoman, Jim Gordon, Mary Jane
That is just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Note I don’t mind them at all changing the race of a character. But swapping gingers for another race just doesn’t seem like progress to me. Just shows they are only willing to make superficial changes. Instead of making awesome characters that just happen to be black or any other race or identity. Them writing a black sidekick or supporting character makes them just one dimensional.
I would like characters of all color, shapes, sexual preferences where their trait they don’t have a choice in becomes their whole personality.
That’s why old school star trek got it. Uhura was not on the bridge to tell black stories. She was there to be apart of the team that just happened to be black. It could have been better in terms of screen time but the core idea is still relevant today. A more modern example of them doing this really right was Brooklyn 99 with Captain Holt. That show showed him being a Captain and a father figure first. Him having a husband and being gay was shown as being what it is, Normal.

- Comment on Steam lawsuits in a nutshell 2 months ago:
The problem is Valve is still a business where their income comes from providing products and services. The rest are no longer business in that sense anymore and are really just scams that make their money from convincing investors on the Perception that they have a sure fire way to milk their customer for even more money in the future to convince new investors to invest to pump up the stock to make the most money for the old investors or more so the ones with stock options.

- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 3 months ago:
The DoD thinks its a dumb idea to have a draft as the quality of the fighting force is degraded and other Incentives work better. The problem is facts and good reasoning are not something that the current administration is known for. Half want a Holy war to bring about Armageddon. The other half will do it based on something they see on social media.

Well it was kind of a cheat using most of the people that created fallout 1 to make New Vegas. They really should just give it back to Tim and Leonard and team to do the next one.
