I’ve been voting in local and state elections for the last 24 years. When will that produce a better candidate?

I can’t wait until I’m like 90 and I actually get to vote for someone I like.

Okay, but this should also apply to the military and police. (Redundant, I know.) We don’t want someone stealing rifles and selling them to cartels, right?

If every person in America had symmetrical upload download and a static IPv6 address for their home

I’ve got symmetrical gigabit and an IP address I can remember

Do I want it bad enough to spend hundreds of dollars on it? No.

You’re off by at least one order of magnitude. I went to a furniture shop recently and shit’s expensive, yo.

Nice. So we’ll publicly fund the research and the drug companies get a bunch of new medicines and don’t have to pay for the rights.

For one, being independent, not relying on a schedule. Not worrying about missing their transportation and catching a later one, then being late to the arrival of their destination.

This is my big problem with public transport. It might be an issue of funding, but this sort of scheduling gives me a huge amount of anxiety. I would rather drive and know that I can leave when I want, and that any delays won’t be a problem, than to worry about the making it to somewhere at a specific time lest I miss my bus/train/plane.

And the more modes of public transit we add to the journey the worse my anxiety. If any of those connections is delayed or late I have no control and will miss the next leg of my journey, which will push all the other steps around and suddenly I have to get a hotel or something because there’s no way to get to where I’m going until the next day.

At least if I’m caught in traffic I can try to route around it, or I can leave a earlier or later to avoid it, and the person who’s affected by these delays is the one who has some power over mitigating them. If it ends up that I’m driving overnight I can pull over and sleep in my car for a bit and then keep going.

I’ve used one for a very light coating or powdery snow, but more than a couple inches of that it’s just easier and faster with a shovel

I live in a place where if someone slips on your sidewalk they can sue, so I’m a little more cautious about it.

Assuming we get snow ever again…

For injuries related to slipping and falling. It’s a real thing, and why a lot of places nearby don’t even have sidewalks to avoid this liability

I think that age and good country living have mellowed him out a bit. He’s not nearly as much of a stupid asshole in the latest season.

Name a more iconic duo than American politicians and taking protest songs out of context.

So is Blinken the “kindler, gentler machine gun hand?”

I only miss it because Facebook Marketplace has killed Craigslist and I have some crap I need to sell

Let’s be honest: They’re not even going to upgrade the grid if it fails and burns down half the state

The fact that it’s even close is an indictment of the American people.

People always complain about Altimas because they’re unpredictable, but the absolute worst offenders I see are Honda CRV drivers specifically because they’re trying to be polite on the road. I’d take some busted Altima weaving through traffic over a CRV who decides to be nice and stop at the end of the onramp so they don’t cut anyone off.

I guess if our populace has become this damn stupid, then democracy can’t work here anymore.

Not just lab rats for the experiment, but examples to show the Russians what could happen if they decided to try something in Europe.
