Dude was just unhinged and malicious at heart. He wasn’t some libertarian hero, he was a deranged individual who didn’t care if he hared innocent people.

Trump embodies the USA and is the direct result we could only get from our two party system.

People arguing size of a business makes it a monopoly. If that’s the case, I sure as shit want to see Apple, all USA telecoms, Wal-Mart, and Microsoft get their heads on the chopping block for that reason.

No company should have that kind of market leverage, no. The issue though is saying this makes them a monopoly. It’s shit behavior but then if that ability makes a company a monopoly, we should be busting down a lot of company doors that do/did the same thing. Looking at Wal-Mart, nearly every major ISP in the USA, there’s a lot of that going on.

Been friends with a few furries for a while. Can say a lot of the answers I’ve read here encompass what I would say is majority of furries. There’s some that get into it exclusively for kink, it’s okay if they do, but even the furries have a strong disdain for pedophilia, zoophilia, and non-consensual in real life and in most instances drawn art.

Wants to touch on the zoophilia aspect as well, given most interactions of a sexual nature within the fandom are with is dubbed your persona/furrsona, it doesn’t fall under that term. Especially as well nearly all of them are at least human level intelligence but may not be able to vocalize like one. It’s a thin line there but real life practitioners are detested because surprise surprise, people in the fandom have some fairly strong moral convictions.

Art of the steal.

If things are calm at work, not a lot is going on, don’t say QUIET. Never use the fucking Q word at all.

I had to pull from a retirement fund to just pay for expenses that didn’t line up as well as car repairs. This trend has been going on for longer than Trump, he’s just made it faster.

It does, even if they have a long list of things you want to watch, the opportunity cost rises for doing that over saving the money for something else. As well market segmentation removed a lot of various back logs for the different platforms so they have to produce more, newer work to keep interest.

You could be unreachable and your job would have to accept that fact. There was typically a single landline per house so if it was busy or you weren’t there then they had to suck it up.

You weren’t pressured by society that you must be efficient in your leisure time. Play a game, best become the best at it otherwise you’re a loser now. Painting something? You best be Van Gough in quality or it’s shit. Feels like people forgot you’re not supposed to monetize your hobbies, there were there to get away from work.

Insurance pulls automatically from my account at the end of the month. Didn’t realize the exact time because I haven’t had serious money issues in years until now. Bank account in the red, still need food… Pull from a retirement account to just add a cushion again. This has been a downward trend for years now and it’s only been getting worse no matter who was in charge.

19 sticky notes, label them 1-10 and 12-20. Hide them in random places with 1 modestly easily found on a regular day.

It’s a shit service.

We all lift together.

Yeah, there’s no 100% to saving your house. It’s more important to have somewhere safe to stay during the highest winds and pressures.

Realistically if a tornado is bearing down on your home, get to safety. Just don’t be surprised if the house starts to “breathe” around you as it gets closer.

Also history has shown that if you can do that before a tornado it helps. Mainly that people have literally been sucked out of windows or doors that burst open from the pressure differentials. Is it 100%? No, but from my reading, education, and direction from more experienced people if you live in a house do it before the tornado comes if you’re concerned. Just that there’s pros and cons for either situation.

I’m just worried when the chips are down and China knocks on the government’s door, they’ll cave. I doubt many people even in the other BRIC countries want this or to support the aggressors.

It would create more of a barrier for wind and water to get caught in which could result in much more structural damage. My understanding is you WANT the air to flow through a house unabated in both situations as it would remove the instances of areas of very different air pressure which would result in essentially an air explosion.

If it weren’t with a firearm it’d be with a crossbow, a knife, ball peen hammer, concrete saw, etc.

This point self defense isn’t about being in the right, it’s about being whose left and white.
