If you want actually good deals don’t use Temu or Alibaba, use those amazon return/overstock bidding sites. Just the other day I got a 2-arm VESA mount for $3 and it works great. Thing id like 30 pounds of steel and normally costs a hundo brand new. Only problem was some missing screws that weren’t even necessary to the functioning of it.

Because Trump is very deeply popular with a huge voter block. Going against him means he’ll just point those people at you and say “this guy’s bad, also probably a pedophile or some shit idk” and then your career is over.

There are no sidewalks near any of my nearest gyms ironically, and I live in a fairly large city. Just busy stroads as far as the eye can see.

One time when my mom visited France, she asked a shop’s clerk for directions. She tried French but kind of gave up and used some English words scattered throughout her sentence for words she didn’t know. The clerk acted annoyed and pretended not to understand, so my mom tried to use only her broken French. The clerk responded very quickly in French.

My mom then said, in English, “I’m sorry, I didn’t get that, French is such a beautiful language but I’m having a hard time learning it”. The clerk then completely 180’ed her attitude, acted all happy and switched to perfect, fluent English, with almost no French accent.

That situation taught me that some French people apparently just want you to suck the metaphorical dick of their culture before they choose to be nice to you lol.

The more you read into the themes of Rowling’s work, the more you realize she just has very poor media literacy in general.

Taxes exist to provide common goods, I think preventing mass food insecurity is a common good lol. Healthier population of your country is good for everyone in it, not just the people getting the food.

I used to work in HR. Can confirm that some managers will just pay out bullshit claims because it would be expensive to litigate.

I think Mickey just serves as a stand-in for Disney in general

The landlord doesn’t do all repairs themselves, they pay someone to do repairs. Most regular maintenance of the property is the responsibility of the tenant. That’s why people treat investment properties as passive income, because effectively they are.

That’s why they call it wage slavery

The answer to questions like these is always money.

Policy is what drives the climate crisis, and policy is primarily controlled by the rich and powerful, especially in countries like the US where corporate lobbying reigns supreme. You could argue that it’s ultimately capitalist incentives that create this paradigm, but I would say that those incentives are upheld by the same powerful individuals who benefit from them.

tl;dr, the climate crisis is caused by certain individuals.

It will inspire people to take more drastic action, and highlight the urgency of the cause in a way that targets those who are causing it. It’s also more likely to create sympathy, since the ones causing the problem are the ones being punished for it.

Do crimes

Never used it, might check that one out after

It’s the best replacement for Google keyboard I’ve tried by a wide mile. I like the gestures it has by comparison, they allow finer control. It’s also very stylish. I’ll probably use it for a long while.

People will use this to galvanize efforts against climate action, and it will work. If you want to seriously do something, go after the people causing the crisis.

Same, I don’t understand how schools can weasel their way out of federal holidays so easily lol.

I don’t know why but those ice cream things make me physically sick to look at sometimes. That amount of sugar in one sitting is borderline lethal for me.

That’s just the most popular ones frankly. There are exceptions, but the popular anime tend to follow tropes more closely than the less popular ones.

Anime is more of a medium than a genre, though there are certainly tropes that you’ll find in the vast majority of shows like over-acted dialogue and facial expressions, over-explaining, slow pace, etc.
