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 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.

Well it’s illegal to enslave people, beat your spouse, or force your “possessions” to shit in each other’s mouths as punishment, so I’m going to say we’ve had some minor successes, yes.

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 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.

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

My partner had one until about a year ago when it broke irreversibly.

They’re still making payments on it and the thing was already on its third screen when it died. They’re cool and I think the idea is good, but I think the whole “bendable screen” idea is fundamentally flawed for smartphones.

There’s a dungeon by me that has stockades but doesn’t allow free use and it is the mother of all missed opportunities.

But even in the Claudia instance I’d say no because it’s still just too gross. There’s just no getting past the body age thing. I guess I’d say Claudia could probably have a legal right to seek adult experiences (though she would only find sick weirdos), but Keiko and Princess Bubblegum should not.

I’d argue that a real person in Claudia’s situation shouldn’t be discriminated against for what is ultimately a physical abnormality. I see it as a more extreme version or “dwarves shouldn’t be allowed to have relations with larger people because they look vaugely like children.”

I’d also argue that any media which depicts someone in Claudia’s situation finding love is probably some creep trying to find an outlet for their fantasies.

Exactly, that’s why they’re still around. They still haven’t been used at their intended scale since before most working adults had left home.

If anyone else wants to feel old, MySpace is old enough to drink and the iPhone can vote. College graduates have never seen someone type on a t9.

The “large vault” you’re referring to is either old enough to predate the internet or full of safe deposit boxes for rent.

Even busy bank branches probably only need a vault the size of an armoire these days. People just don’t use much cash.

It would be very useful to people who don’t consume multimedia, especially writers and certain types of hobbyists and office workers.

Sure, butterfly a chicken breast and fry it over high heat. Or eat cheese. Or make succotash, or lentil soup.

All of our cultural defaults for breakfast are terrible for us anyways, we need to eat other things regardless.

I make a bunch of deviled eggs maybe once or twice a year. I don’t care for most other types of “easy” egg preparations and there are plenty of cheap beans, chicken, and cheap bits of pork for my protein needs.

Tbh I don’t understand why people don’t just buy something else. There are several good alternatives available.

The US military has actually been short on recruits for a long time now due to the obesity epidemic.

I mean we could stop maintaining an invasion force in basically every corner of the globe simultaneously, but we aren’t filthy communists or whatever.

The BBC, AP, and Reuters are a good place to start.

I like Erin in the Morning, Propublica, and Bellingcat as well, but they require additional work to parse sometimes.

checks current social media landscape

Yep, apparently!

Honestly, I think a lot of that was a Russian psy op. We all know Russian trolls have been stirring up the far right to stir up unrest, it stands to reason they’d do the same on the far left too (like the soviets funding both neo-nazis and communists in the 60s).

Plus, “vote for the guy who wants to genocide harder as a protest against genocide” was always a questionable line of reasoning.
