I never realized it before, but Tank Girl's
"Charlie Don't Surf" reference to Apocalypse Now has a way different implication post-Kirkening.

I have an story idea for a post-collapse USA with deseret as one of the regional states, not because the Mormons are powerful, but because we have so royally fucked over the ecology of the desert that it functions as a badlands, and the future mormons function as nomadic marauders.
I tried answering to the best of my car knowledge
The problem will come from sales tax and import duties when you try to register the car in your home state. In most states, you need proof that you've already paid the sales tax when you bought the vehicle (and import duties if the car is foreign), and if you haven't paid enough to match your home state's limit, you will pay additionally to match. This is why people from Alaska get so pissy when they move to the lower 48, because Alaska doesn't have a state sales tax for vehicles, and all of a sudden they're paying thousands of dollars just to register their car in fuckin Idaho.
Technically what you're thinking about already exists on the southern border, plenty of people will buy Chinese cars in Mexico and then drive them up, and they're able to get around the blanket import bans that the US has. However, they then will still have to pay any outstanding sales tax, plus the insane import tax on Chinese vehicles, making the car more expensive. However, given how cheap the Chinese cars are produced, and the relative weakness of the Mexican Peso relative to the USD, it may still come out as a cheaper option, though I'm not well versed in the Mexican auto industry.
Is Hexbear still hosted in France? If so then in a way we are all French
Perhaps the single most baffling thing to me in all of this is that these people coordinate their criminal sex crimes... over gmail on their smart phones.

Ooo time for my Firefox rant.
For months now my mobile Firefox has had a glitch where the enter button on web searches does not work. Sometimes it takes upwards of 10 seconds to process, sometimes it doesn’t process at all, sometimes it will process twice and reload send me back to search results when I’m already reading a page. But weirdly the suggested searches work perfectly, so I’ve been forced into the habit of clicking on those instead, much to my chagrin. This is just annoying enough to bother me, but not annoying enough to make me change browsers, because it’s also what I use for school and work and the desktop version doesn’t have this issue.
They're presenting like...I don't know the word for this kind of modern men's fashion. It's when they've got skinny khakis, the pencil mustaches, slip on loafers without socks, and round glasses. Is there any even a word for this or are they just grad students

Believe me I know, Swiss banks even make you pay a fee to open an account it’s insane. But given the free restriction it’s the best one I’ve seen.

At first I was very confused as to what kind of law a roach would practice
