  • Dropout (I like the content, and it's quite affordable)
  • Prime Video (included with Prime, which I'd like to cancel soon)

and then if you count it as a streaming service:

  • Plex (with lifetime plexpass membership, I've never streamed any of the included content, and only use it for streaming my own library)

And maybe a touch of gallium on anything aluminum. Like maybe the rims on the black vehicle.

Wonder how upset Alex Jones was when he realized he misspelled "memekitchin .com"

It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.

You'd also need to repeat the experiment as a control (ideally still doing as much of the same things to account for other variables). For best accuracy you'd need the same group returning another day, going through the same boarding process without takeoff, and tracking the exact time between wanks.

Viva la what he said!

Not saying there wasn't a spike in people searching if Biden dropped out, but a spike of approx 100 searches isn't really that significant.

Similarly, I looked at the "can I change my vote" trend that I've seen reported, and again it was 1000 searches (if you're generous) and was pretty much entirely on election day. Which to me would indicate was more people who voted early wondering if they could change their vote on election day.

Don't get me wrong, I would love if there was something to blame to make me feel better about sharing a democracy with a bunch of hateful morons, but even trying to find evidence to convince myself that they are more dumb/uninformed than hateful isn't turning up much.

I've heard tentative plans for a mass general strike in 4 years. It won't be easy, but if they won't hear our voices, they don't get our labor. There's a lot of preparation to do between now and then, and we're going to have to look out for each other. But labor has more power than we realize if we just use it.

Absolutely agree. I'm only talking about the fleeing the country part. Those of us who can stay are going to have to put in a lot of work, speaking out against fascism, protecting those who cannot flee, and being generally rebellious against tyranny.

If anything those of us who happen to not be directly in their crosshairs have a greater responsibility to speak out for the groups that are going to be targeted, because it could quickly get to a point where it's dangerous for those marginalized people to be as vocal. We cannot leave the most vulnerable to fight alone for their right to exist.

Technically it's not a full 55% of my countrymen, just 55% of the ones who bothered to vote. I'll admit that's not really a meaningful distinction though. Unfortunately, there's also more of us who want to leave than the rest of the world can reasonably handle. I hope as many marginalized people can get out, because it's going to be bad, especially for them. But those, like me, who are unlikely to be directly targeted due simply to being lucky enough to be born straight, white, men should probably leave those limited seats for those who truly need to leave.

One of the stated goals of Project 2025 is dismantling the Federal Reserve, they won't need to bother with "accidents" if they just shut the whole thing down.

Managed to line up my first playthrough with the release of the DLC (finished all major bosses up to Godfrey/Horah Loux and 90% of the other bosses/dungeons before the DLC dropped), finally beat the DLC a couple of months ago and decided I wanted to go for 100%, so I finished all bosses in that playthrough and whatever quests I hadn't already failed, and started a NG+ run. Taking more breaks to play other games at this point, but I'm still averaging a few hours a week.
