Can someone explain to me how four years into the Biden administration, the USPS is still saddled with that Trump-era turd?

Their vitriol was legitimately the motivation I needed to get off my arse and lose ~90lbs and get fit.

You’re right..

For real? Damn, talk about an iconic art style! Do you happen to know which story this is from?

The artwork is giving off serious Asterix and Obeid vibes; do you know where it’s from?

Hilariously, if the corporations could have curtailed their greed for a few more years - piracy could have sufficiently reduced in popularity and need to the point that it would have largely become a ‘lost art’.

Alas, chasing ever higher returns because “line must go up” is just introducing a new generation to these old tried and true methods.

I know the whole USB-A super-state thing is a meme at this point, but you can easily plug in cables first try with these two points:

1. USB cables tend to have a logo on the upwards facing part.
2. If you know/can visualise how the PCB is mounted, you can identify which was is up on the port.

That being said, USB-C is definitely more convenient overall - but I do wish the cables were male and ports female (think Lightning), so that the most fragile part of the connector was on the cable and not the device. Because when that breaks, it’s easier to get a new cable than re-solder a port.

I don’t think Russia’s affording all that much nowadays.. last I heard, they were experiencing liquidity issues trading with China?

The best way to look at it is to ask “if he cared less about his appearance, and dressed more slovenly - would it excuse his abhorrent views and stances?”.

If the answer is no, then it should be a non-factor.

A cynical part of me thinks that some of the more outlandish politicians dress that way (Trump’s hair dye and fake tan, JD Vance’s guyliner, Boris Johnson’s unkempt hair, etc.) are done in part as an attempt to de-rail reporting by having us fall into the easy trap of ridiculing their appearance rather than criticising their views and actions.

Ideally, it would.

But there is also a perverse incentive in politics against permanent solutions - as once Dems pass a law increasing/indexing the minimum wage, it’ll eventually become normalised after a couple cycles and people will fall back into their old ways and switch back to voting against their interests (GOP) due to social issues.

Going by that argument though, then EVERYTHING is an indirect act of God.

Bullet wound? Clearly it was God’s will, for ordering the universe in such a way that an individual was armed at that point in time to cause you harm.

Cancer? God willed the carcinoma onto your skin.

Maybe it’s just Argumentum ad absurdum, but insurance companies are basically arguing against their own existence.
