What’s old is new again. “Glass” desktops and interfaces have made at least 3 rounds so far.
Needs two more panels. 3) Putting the mask back on. 4) putting a sharpie sign on the maga-self “I’m A TrAnS DeMoCrAt!!1”.
I don’t wish to interrupt a Canadian discussion, but the US is similar - ~20% state and federal taxes, property tax, medical coverage, etc. are all going to be about 30% income, if not more, depending on location. So not unreasonable at face value without going too deep into the particulars of each.
Other side of the country.
This is exactly what they wanted? They want to bomb, shoot, “pave with glass”, kill everything that offends them? Oh, of course…the “offender” shooting back is never in the cards.
As usual, it’s fine for others to suffer as long as it isn’t them. Their land of no consequences gets interrupted and then they start crying.
I don’t disagree with anything you say, I just didn’t fill in all the blanks.
Seconded. I miss that internet. This is stuff you’d stumble upon and marvel at. Now there are entire subreddits full of it.
You’re not wrong. It wasn’t for “freedom of religion”, it was for freedom of their religion.
Over there it’s usually as part of a conversation. Here it’s a cudgel.
I think you’ve kinda missed the lede - religious fanatics. We’ve got plenty of those. Other western countries have quite a few religious people, but they aren’t often in-your-face cross wearing, “I’m a Christian”, openly judgy Karens like they are here.
You could, y’know, stop being an obnoxious twat about being a trumPet and that would solve 90% of the personal problems you describe.
You could do the same thing with a painting and a dim light. Just wouldn’t move. Assuming there are ”fake window” screen saver things for projectors.
Really? Got any previous images with such as spot or cover-up?
It's still not the kid's fault if they were brought up to tolerate and play emotional games against family members.
Having kids myself and listening to them describe their fellow students’ situations at home, or even how we observe acquaintance’s kids act and how it mirrors parental behaviors, you can bet your ass that they learn from how their parents are acting and what they’re allowed to get away with.
Autocorrect seems to have gotten worse? i remember it working better, but now I find it happily inserts incorrect words and leads to a false sense of security. I turned it off and just look for the red underlines to tell me I screwed up.
Sounds like a recipe for Unpredictable Rewards and messing with loyalty systems. Hook people on a loyalty program, slowly jack up the price, then throw in some real deals to keep them gambling for more. Don’t think an AI is necessary to do this, but corporate loves AI.
Bunch of conservatives here should head on over. Russia really is their end state.
Interesting the cultural difference here. People arguing in favor of, or at least the reasonableness of, the law and its application. Americans regularly speed, 20+ mph over the limit is not uncommon. People would lose their shit over a driving ban in the US, and probably keep driving anyway. DUI repeat offenders and suspended license drivers are pretty common.
The White House says it’s a handshaking injury that proves “Trump is a man of the people.” So why hide it with mismatched concealer?
While Donald Trump was going about his business on Tuesday, attempting to shut down the “Jeffrey Epstein Hoax” he perpetuated, he inadvertently revived an old conspiracy about himself. A C-SPAN cameraman zoomed in on the president’s hand while he was speaking with reporters before heading to Pittsburg on Tuesday, revealing a weird patch of poorly matched makeup caked on the back of his right hand.
Under previous administrations, FEMA quickly coordinated search and rescue teams to assist communities facing catastrophes. But new spending rules require the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to personally sign off on expenses over $100,000. Her approval for responding to the Texas disaster didn’t come until Monday, delaying the agency’s response, according to reporting by CNN’s Gabe Cohen and Michael Williams.
At the same time, acting FEMA administrator David Richardson was notably absent on the ground in Texas, in the press, and even within his agency. By Wednesday, July 9, Richardson had yet to make a single internal or public remark about the flooding, according to reporting by Marisa Kabas, who runs the independent news outlet, The Handbasket.
“It is unprecedented for the leader of FEMA to be absent from the public response to a disaster that has killed over 100 Americans,” Samantha Montano, associate professor of emergency management at Massachusetts Maritime Academy, told The Handbasket.
Since taking office, Trump and members of his administration have declared their desire to reduce federal disaster support and to eliminate FEMA. Disaster assistance from FEMA was hard to come by for states hit by tornadoes in spring 2025.
"We must end the dangerous and deadly practice of weather modification and geoengineering," the Georgia Republican wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

As the Trump administration's "big, beautiful bill" grinds its way through the U.S. Senate, incentives are growing for foreign investors to diversify out of U.S. Treasuries losing sheen from prospects of deficit spending and inflation-boosting tariffs.
President Donald Trump's sweeping tax cut and spending measure will boost U.S. debt by $3.3 trillion, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates, while runaway deficits and swelling debt led Moody's to cut its credit rating in May.
"The framework conditions in Europe are not ideal, but they are stable."
Roessner's comments are indicative of a trend that has taken hold in recent months: Investors and companies are increasingly turning to Europe, drawn by an infrastructure- and defence-led spending push that offers stability at a time when Trump's erratic tariff policies have made the U.S. market a less safe bet, according to more than a dozen interviews with executives and fund managers.
Palestinians in northern Gaza reported one of the worst nights of Israeli bombardment in weeks after the military issued mass evacuation orders on Monday, while Israeli officials were due in Washington for a new ceasefire push by the Trump administration.

I’d like to know what anyone is using that they really think is helping them that isn’t taking traditional prescription medication for ADHD. Please make sure whatever it is can be found “over the counter” or readily available commercially. Please keep it to simple items that are easily found separately - i.e. a B vitamin of B6, 12 and vitamin C along with Magnesium glycinate or something. If you notice it helping in a specific area, please say what it is.
I have to throw in a couple caveats, just to make sure we can get a decent picture of what is actually helping, so…
-
Please nothing illicit or illegal.
-
Please no blends or other proprietary herbal combinations. If a blend helps you, great…but we don’t know what is in the blend that is helping, and someone may not have access to that product where they live.
-
Please be specific, like making sure to differentiate between magnesium glycinate and magnesium L-threonate.

Title says it all. I just watched Blue Origin land a bunch of rich space tourists and it’s being called a successful “mission”.

Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.
Former President Joe Biden was diagnosed with an “aggressive form” of prostate cancer, according to a statement from his personal office Sunday, and it has spread to his bones.
“Last week, President Joe Biden was seen for a new finding of a prostate nodule after experiencing increasing urinary symptoms. On Friday, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, characterized by a Gleason score of 9 (Grade Group 5) with metastasis to the bone,” the statement said.
Newark Liberty International Airport is facing another FAA-imposed ground delay due to staffing shortages, after a telecommunications issue led to delays on Sunday.
Duffy held a press conference Monday afternoon, after the FAA imposed the latest of several recent ground delays at EWR. The FAA said they had been "slowing arrivals and departures" there "due to runway construction at Newark and staffing and technology issues at Philadelphia TRACON, which guides aircraft in and out of the airport."
Duffy noted that it was the Biden administration that moved the TRACON (Terminal Radar Approach Control Facilities) from New York to Philadelphia, and said he was calling for an Office of the Inspector General investigation into this and other decisions.
However:
The move happened under the Trump administration. Either they were too inept to stop it or chose to let it happen in order to blame the Biden admin. That said, EWR is a mess even on a good day, so short staffing and runway construction would have been nasty to begin with.
In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Trump also outlined a White House renovation he hopes to carry out — which he said he will pay for himself.
Mike Waltz’s ouster as national security adviser could be a sign of trouble ahead for White House staffers.
Donald Trump’s outlandish claim that he’d struck 200 trade deals was a complete fiction, according to members of his own Cabinet.
