Media: “I hope Argentina doesn’t get overrun by Nazis.”

The Nazis and their descendants that fled to Argentina in the 40’s:

Bonus:

Headline grabbing stunts with no chance of legal success, BUT mainstream media is very happy to oblige because of them tasty “clicks” and delicious rage bait engagement. The Republican buffoons get elected and re-elected because their base love these stunts.

Being a complete piece of shit knows no political affiliation, and pieces of shit tend to band together.

Stimpy, sometimes your wealth of ignorance astounds me.

So your take is that a mayor has the power to single handedly change the minimum wage? We elect people into a system of supposed checks and balances where the executive branch leads only with the support of the legislative and judicial. We do not elevate rulers. Supposedly.

It isn’t a promise to raise the minimum wage. The mayor doesn’t have the power to do that. It is a promise to push and lobby towards that goal.

For a supposed democracy, Americans really tend to gravitate to a single source of power (king, dictator) mentality.

As it turns out, American democracy was almost entirely dependent on norms and honor more than laws with consequences.

100%, but OP said he was a complete noob. Given that they only have 4GB of RAM on an older computer, I suggested Lubuntu. But yes, no DE is best if they can manage it.

Another choice is Lubuntu, a lightweight and fast variant of Ubuntu, so the Ubuntu instructions you find online should still work.

When I was a kid I lived in the Caribbean where all the kids ate their veggies.

Banks and real estate sellers in 2025

My wife and I bought a really nice two story brick town house in an upscale neighborhood, plus a brand new Jetta, with no credit history, $0 down, on a combined household income of exactly $80k. Real Estate was so cheap that the town house qualified for an FHA loan.

The US Government was fully functional with a budget surplus. 25 years of neocon, liberal, and fascist government has brought us here.

No. Everyone always focuses on the flashy stuff like datacenters but the truth is that the most vulnerable, overtaxed, and underfunded weak-spot for the United States is the electric grid.

Dad’s know a boy’s intentions AND how real the struggle is to fulfill said intentions.

I didn’t back then but eventually I messed with my sleep.schedule so much that I developed that type of insomnia. At my worst I would sleep 90 minutes in a 24 hour period. Within two weeks you are not the same person. Literally insane. I fixed it by eating a piece of plain tofu and a microdose of delta-8 (not 9, 10, or weed) right before laying my head down to sleep. Now I get 5-6 hours, which is nice.

I got really good at timing my meds so that the crash (never use XR) would match bed time.

For those that don’t know, the US armed forces have moved back into an abandoned military base (Roosevelt Roads) in Puerto Rico. Apparently they have been moving a lot of equipment there. Expect an American escalation in the Carribean.
