Space nazis? I hate Space nazis

In the US property taxes are paid to the county. Some if not most charge more in taxes if it’s rental income.

Eff it. Turn off the internet and see if folks can figure out the Dewey Decimal System

They will spend on both parties, it’s called hedging your bets. For those wondering why the Democrats take that money ask yourself when was the last time you contributed to an election campaign

I was born in the 60’s and feel ya. Funny that there’s a lot of people who never knew life before internet like we never knew life without television. My take on it is we are bombarded. We see everything that happens all over the planet as soon as it happens. Yet our ability to affect things is still the same. That I feel makes us feel small. Spend less time looking at screens

Without a fire you have a better chance of seeing/hearing wildlife. For the record, most of my camping experiences are wilderness backpacking. I typed out more reasons in another response in this thread.

Cook on a stove. Way easier and quicker. Without a fire you’ll see/hear more wildlife. You won’t wake up with smokeface, puffy eyes, everything smelling like smoke. In my experience most camping injuries involve fire/firewood gathering. If backpacking, without a fire you’ll save a lot of energy. No holes in expensive nylon gear. I know going without a fire is sacrilege to a lot of people, give it a try sometime

Not me. I’m the guy trying to convince everyone camping is more fun without a fire

They get people to join the military by offering them free college. If everyone got free college there would be less incentive to join the military

The US didn’t start being an empire until after WW2

I say this as someone who longs for the day when Trump is a thing of the past like when someone brings up Covid these days. Also I have nearly 30 years in the water treatment business and algae is a nemesis during the summer months. To have such a problem with algae so soon after refilling it is odd. I don’t buy the idea that it was living in pipes that weren’t cleaned. If true high phosphate levels are suspicious. The water evaporation claim is BS too.

Maybe English speaking people with tattoos of Chinese letters is the equivalent?

The “baby boom” happened between 1946 and 1964, an 18 year period. Not everyone will die within an 18 year period. Some have already passed, some will live into their 90’s and could be around until the 2060’s

Nobody gonna turn down a day off

My first experiences with computers started when I was in Junior High around '79. It was a total nerd hobby, almost "underground ". Now I see it for what it is. Gadgets become necessities and we become enslaved to them. We have to stop chasing our tails

To be fair it’s tough to be proficient in a language you don’t get to use. In some places in the US, there’s plenty of Spanish speaking people. Other than that not so much.

Leading up to the 2020 presidential election, Donald Trump urged his voters to vote in person while Democrats promoted voting by mail due to Covid pandemic. Steve Bannon was secretly recorded saying that this was the Trump Campaign’s plan to falsely claim the election was stolen. Steve Bannon does not deny saying this. By law, votes can’t be tallied until polls close. Mail in ballots take longer to process because envelopes have to be opened, info needs to be verified then the vote can be counted. In person ballot results are faster because verification has already taken place and in many places ballots are scanned waiting to counted by a machine. Of course this is how it went down.

So to answer your question, Republican voters have a distrust for mail in voting. Largely because a president of the United States told his supporters to vote in person. During a pandemic.

It must be an election year. Here comes the “both sides” posts

The Democratic Party needs to learn from the GOP and build a"farm team"

I’m bored, looking forward to going back to work.
