Cars with oil filters like that always roll in when you're not busy, so they don't get to cool in the lot, and you get to watch your skin melt when you accidentally touch metal. Good times.

Yeah I was gonna say let me cross over real quick. I'm American, so I'll bring my own guns as long as you can provide some healthcare.

They're just going to need more people in general, so they can let us die sooner and replenish the workforce.

Can we just call it the Quwitter?

Or your pizza to not have been carried on its side, as I learned. That was actually when I quit getting any food out. Tipping is a broken system, and fast food shouldn't be eaten anyway.

Except Comic Con is rare, and they don't have to take down their "gun show this weekend!" signs here in Iowa because that's every weekend, or so it seems.

Agreed though. I was actually worried about what maga might do if Harris won, so I made my first purchases before the election. I had to provide ID, enter some personal identifiers into a website and be approved by a federal agency. It took an extra 30 minutes or so.

Yeah Mullvad is coming in pretty steady on that front.

The number of people still mad at Biden...

I work in a college financial aid office, an one of my responsibilities is outreach to former students whose loans are in delinquent or default status. This is the only part of my job that makes me want to quit, but that's besides the point.

The number of people who rant about Biden forgiving random people's loans but not theirs, or forgiving student loans of celebrities and athletes (that's apparently a talking point for these people?) is staggering.

I like to remind them that 1) Biden did try to offer sweeping forgiveness of 10-20k, but he did not have the authority to do so on his own, so he acted with the authority he had, and 2) now Republicans have full control of the executive and legislative branches, so we can wait to benefit from their plan to help students. I get crickets on that last point.

My primary use is photo editing for a photography hobby. I shoot wildlife and upload photos to iNaturalist. I shoot sports for a local junior college and an adult baseball league.

I don't watch a ton of movies, but it also serves as my Plex server. I leave it off unless I want to watch something though.

There are games on it, but I rarely get that itch anymore. In my teens and 20s, 1000 hours a year would have been a slow year. It's probably more like 0-100 a year now.

Yep, these people have "morals," if you can call them that, that are quite malleable. We're putting together a team of useful idiots who will be led by the most useful idiot of them all.
