more than seven years of the states entire police budget

What a weird line item to compare. TF do the cops, another entity that should be defunded, have to do with this?

lol

i don't think there are any airlines (other than southwest) that have managed to turn a profit without at least one bankruptcy

so, mitosis?

I'm for a defed.

if your kid doesn't want to do something, don't force it on them. I'm not talking about the things everyone needs to do like brushing ones teeth or getting an education. I mean, don't sign them up for a baseball team if they show no interest in baseball. Don't force them to hang out with the neighbor kids if they don't like the neighbor kids. Don't force them to wear their hair they way you think they should, etc.

let them make their own choices (within reason, ofc) and teach them that they have their own agency. if you do or don't want them to do a thing, explain why, have a dialogue ("no back talk" is bullshit, sometimes your kids have a good point an you're being an asshole) and listen to them.

Isn't that what he meant by "America First"?

yeah and this may be the way to go at this point. i was just excited to make a totally custom rig and use things like Gen 5 pcie nvme. but now I'll just not do that. fingers crossed the bubble pops and a bunch of these bullshit "ai" businesses stop existing

I appreciate the advice, but that's what I've got already. It works well, but I was hoping to make a significant upgrade and move away from spinning disks and such.

yes this is terrifying, actually.

so happy I built a new PC last year. so pissed I cant make a new server this year

so CIA guy escalates war on civilians when civilians weren't doing it for them.

TIL all the Civilization maps are on Saturn
