It's probably more sanitary in Japan, but in the US I could see the guy sitting in the both next to me sneezing directly into the water, licking his chopsticks before attempting (and missing) some noodles. Then giving up and using his hands, that he didn't wash after coming back from the toilet.

Kind of like buffets.

They did this in 2008-09 with an 8k payment to homebuyers that wasn't a loan and didn't have to be repaid. This enabled me to but a foreclosed house and make it livable, and I've been living in it since then. It didn't raise prices in my area, because no one was buying houses anyway because regular possible couldn't afford it.

I don't know if I would have been able to get so financially situated if that payment wasn't there. I could've bought the house, but I would not have been able to fix it enough to ever stay on top of the maintenance and bills.

Would this be exactly the same situation? I dunno. But I know a similar push sure worked in the past.

And to add to that, set all your programs and links to open in Firefox by default, instead of the YouTube app, etc. then you're blocking ads just like a desktop on every site you visit.

I didn't even know Putin claimed he'd take Kyiv in 3 days until you said something and got all upset about it, brochacho. But now that you made us all look it up, I'm definitely repeating it to everyone, everywhere.

Can you tell me more things that make Putin look like a fool? Since that seems to be what your goal is.

I think the "Biden is suddenly to old" stuff is a psyop, this close to the election. But the "we're cooked" is a general feel I'm getting from my friends, too. It feels bleak. However, I'm in Oklahoma so there's no way my state wouldn't go for Trump. So maybe elsewhere there's different opinions? I hope.

I also vote, even though I know none of my votes have counted since it's always a Republican that wins, here. I don't want anyone to have the satisfaction that they took my hope and resolve away.

Jail the executives and/or apply the fine to them. They are ultimately the ones that pushed this culture to happen, and as they say "the buck stops here".

Wishful thinking, I know. It would never happen in real life.

The guardian is lower credibility? I guess I should get all my information from OAN or FOX, huh?

What the fuck is MFBR and why should I give a shit what it thinks? How do I know it's not biased?

You might need to account for an extra day or two to dig down low enough in the rocky mountains. Unless you're working with a friend and they brought their own shovel.

I don't think guns are supposed to be a deterrent. Someone running to mug you isn't thinking clearly about the possible complications or repercussions.

A carried gun is a commitment to kill someone before you are killed in a life or death situation. Not too feel cool or show off, or brandish as a warning.

Plus if you dress like a cowboy, someone might try to mug you FOR that gun, making you a bigger target.

That's all pretty heavy, and the odds are low that you'd encounter that situation. So not a lot of people are willing to complicate their lives for it.

Google Talk, Google Chat, Google Huddle... Some of them even integrated with Gmail.

Seems like a dumb idea to try again, when already established chat systems that won't vanish in a year exist.

Additionally, most of Oklahoma is still various reservation lands. That was a recent court ruling, so I suspect this is a few years old.

Didn't Kutcher kick Masterson off his show, "The Ranch", when he found out about the allegations?

I don't know what's going though any of their minds and I don't know much about the case, but writing letters for your former friend that's a piece of shit is common. 30 years is a very long time. Longer than Cosby got. So it couldn't be good. But I wonder what the details are before I immediately jump to "most of the cast are assholes by association". Also, did no one know about this during the show? Mila even had to stage kiss and hug the guy when their characters were dating.
