Nominative determinism

My family was already here, I'd been trying to get here for over a decade. The election just made it my top priority.

I lived in Houston proper (outside the loop). I had shell casings on my street.

My property taxes went down considerably going from Texas to Washington (though I did not move to King County). I did buy a used EV up here though since gasoline is crazy expensive and the infrastructure is much better. Most other costs went down or stayed the same. Houston is expensive as hell.

So it's just a pile of useless garbage because Martin hired a buddy to do it part-time instead of bringing in an independent investigator and he hid it because it's embarrassingly bad, but still tried to talk-up its importance even as he knew it was drivel until he was forced to release it and be revealed to be even more dishonest and incompetent than we already suspected.

But reading between the lines, it looks like the whole thing was intended as an effort to hide that Biden's unconditional support for Israel probably cost them the election which would have been determined by a real investigator so he intentionally brought in his buddy to fuck the thing up and muddy the waters so they can 'move on' and 'not think about what went wrong too much'.

That's what I was thinking, unless he gets impeached or kicks the bucket he'll hold office until January 2029.

When I worked at B&N way back in the day the policy was to sell any book that was legal to sell, though many would have to be ordered. In that regard, as long as AI slop is legal to sell I don't have any particular problem with a store selling it.

I wouldn't buy it, of course. It's bound to be wretched.

Flock should have splurged and bought two more councilmembers.

That has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. I'm veggie, if I don't poop every day there's a fucking problem.

Houston has so much going for it what with all the petrochemical factories providing spicy air for you and all the crime, heat and flooding adding adventure to your day.

There's ballooning now? No wonder it's so expensive, though I imagine they can utilize the abundance of hot air produced in the building.

Can we stop trying to beatify this psychopath? It's possible to be against violence and still condemn Kirk and his violent legacy.

 

I recently got a fairphone and I want to move my pictures, contacts, messages, etc. from my old android phone to the new one. My initial search found some apps that do this but they look like absolute privacy nightmares. What is a good way to accomplish this without handing my phone contents out like candy to whichever malevolent spyware developer?
