If you guys can turn Arizona slightly purple, then maybe you can carve out a way to include New Mexico and Colorado into the new Pacific coast nation, and not leave them isolated by red states.

I hear the Pope also stole the DC spotlight, no? For a guy addicted to ratings, this must make him livid. Maybe give him an aneurysm?

Are there similar op eds regarding Truth Social? Because that is another pretty firm right wing SM bubble, even more so, and that one has even lower user volume.

Other countries have public systems of varying levels of efficacy, but it's there when you can't afford private healthcare or opt not to use private care. In the US your only option is pay-to-live.

23? Is there a list? I'm not from the US. I read names on the news but have no idea who they are.

All of that is true, but it doesn't really matter when that 50% appears absolutely powerless from outside. It's a coin toss if you're going to meet a welcoming or hostile US citizen at the border. That's too high a risk.

Could it be the mental equivalent of the immune system and allergies? We have mental systems in place to stay on alert to survive, but when there is no real threat the brain just latches onto random things to worry about.

I hear you. I trim them too, and still my clothes are full of holes from when I carry her. Aaah, well, cathood.

One of my cats looks just like yours and does this exact same thing. She never bites hard, and then licks.

If they have such a problem with Spanish words they should start changing the states names, like Florida to "flowery", Arizona to "dryzone", Colorado to "reddish". Let's not start with all the town names in Spanish all over the USA. It's all so absolutely stupid.

Aah, that's a feasible explanation. It just feels odd that a country built from inception on the concept of democracy would not allocate sufficient budget to print all the necessary ballots by default.
In Mexico, throughout my life, it was done this way, even with all our problems. Not sure now.

Really curious here, from another country. How is it they run out of ballots? Isn't there a list of registered voters, so they know the exact maximum number of voters that are allowed to vote at each station?

And China, Japan and South Korea do NOT get along, historically. That is no small feat.

Isn't that the plot of 'Her'?

If the other place is any indication, Canadians should be very concerned. The Maple MAGAs are copy pasting everything that's led to this point in the US, and it seems they are gaining ground. No not underestimate their snowball effect.

Millions voted for him, and support his every move. He's just the figurehead, the problem lies much, much deeper. The US has proudly shown its ugly underbelly and countries should be rightfully wary for a long time to come.

Twitter shows me signs that they are, they are now worried about the Wisconsin SC. Of course, trying to energize people with that dumb mantra that voting republican is the only way to "save the country" or something. my timeline over there has really gotten filled with MAGAs.

Papa Murdoch has to die first, and I don't really see the heirs wanting to shut off their money machine by losing all its audience.

Since Disney bought the overt entertainment division of Fox, I don't know how they could.
comment in response to
post
Especially when they've been legally forced to admit they are an entertainment channel, not a news outlet, so they are not focused on giving true information.

Only someone who has never been excluded or threatened for who they love or what they look like would believe that explicitly reinforcing that somewhere is a safe place is superfluous.

I play on PC. Every Ubisoft game launches their platform, even if purchased and installed on another platform, like Steam.
comment in response to
post
I would really like to play it, it's even on my steam wishlist, but I can't seem to ignore that it's saddled with the awful Ubisoft connect that tarnished the otherwise brilliant Rayman games. I just hated having another layer of bloat opening every time just because.

I watched the whole Netflix run as it came out, except for the last third of punisher season 2. It just felt a little aimless and the psychologist, Madani and Jigsaw were all getting on my nerves and had way too much screentime for meager development.

The tone...omg. The absolute nerve of saying something utterly false and in the same sentence feeling offended for being told it's false.

All of those things are true.
But also, she is not great. She is terrible. Just like her predecessor (and possibly operator) she lies constantly in her daily press show and is a populist. Her party has also killed the democratic gains the country painfully made in 30 years.

Look, I dislike Elon as much as everyone here, but sadly, this also happened with NASA. The people on the Challenger Shuttle need not be erased from memory.

Populists work this way. Here in México,in an elevated train's construction, a big machinery fell. Fortunately no one was hurt. They called it a "displacement towards the floor" or something like that.

Almost. That would be Viva Aerobus. Volaris is not far behind though.

Ooooh yeah, her character made my blood boil. I've met several righteous, horrible people like her in my life. Captured them perfectly.

Then again, these senators are working correctly. But how many others, in the Senate and congress, are doing this right now? If republicans are going to leave a void of in person town halls, they should use it.

Well, then that's great. No notes.
What I mean is that rural communities value the commitment when their representative actually comes to them. Online, at this point, and that goes for all Dems, reads as non-committal.

The people he should be trying to reach place high value on face to face over digital interactions. They won't make any inroads into the non-dem base by preaching to the choir.

Have you seen these other guys? I got three now. My wallet told me to stop, otherwise I'd probably gotten the whole set.

Ideally yes, but then again a substantial portion of US voters view public education as an "indoctrination tool" and have no qualms in watching it be torn to shreds.

No, I'm sorry, we in Mexico have enough problems of our own to also have to deal with absorbing all those Trump loving people in the southern US.

What if the contract they currently give their mixed VA/other studio roles members is better that what they would get through SAG? SGG has a stellar record so far for being a great company, I don't know if that could be a plausible case.

If the people doing the VO are not union members, how can they be scabs? I thought that term was reserved for people who would do work while the union they are part of is on strike.

I've switched to duck duck go even on my phone. I'm cool with traditional searches, no need to burn the world with erroneous AI results.

A significant portion of the republican voters do indeed favor a scorched earth, every-man-for-himself (and I do mean male) outcome so they can play out their misanthropic tendencies and power fantasies.

LGBTQ are (mostly) non conformists and contraria. Their whole fascist schtick is conformity and boot licking. They can't have their homegenous thought society with all these non-conformists having a voice.

Even if they do, haven't they proven there is no loyalty at all to their customers/employees? Management has no backbone. Just leave them behind for good.

"go woke, go broke" should be replaced by "bow down, go down".

Truly, they will not let facts get in the way of their power grab. We in Mexico already went through 6 years of this and the current president is exactly the same.

I've been on team Firefox ever since it came out years and years ago. I hope it really gets a new push this time around.
