American/British count palm forward but also learned to count BSL style with the only modification I use my thumb for number 3

Rule of thumb more people should follow you call people the name they want to be called period that includes pronunciation to the best of their ability.

Or creating the myth it just works. As someone that supports corporate macs this is definitely a myth.

Its not the same religion it was changed starting in the late 1920s by an efforts of National Association of Manufacturers and Rev James Fifield Jr As a response to RDR and the New Deal and Churches at the time adopting Socialist practices to help their communities.

Bravery is not about not having fear, its doing it anyway fear or not.

Wikipedia gets such bad rap people should have just explained what those numbers mean at the end of the sentences vs just telling people not to source it and use the sources that are cited.

The moment journalists started just reporting social media posts as news was the downfall. The internet has never reflected reality but journalists being lazy or news corps being greedy spent years convincing everyone that it was.

Magic erasers will do the trick but you have to rub lightly to not scuff up the wood

Yep went down hill after the BlackBerry Storm

I always keep at least one part from the old build just keep a ship of Theseus thing going. My last build my mobo still had a PCI slot. So I kept my voodoo 3 3000 PCI from my old build could still use it thanks to linux. My new build kept my sata ssd and a WiFi card.

While i get the desire not giving your love ones closure would be hell for them. Also being missing can make insurance harder to claim.

Its the same Parliament as the current Parliament there is no such thing as the EU Parliament. Word do have meaning and you need to learn to read.

What ever you want to call it the EU Parliament was founded 10 September 1952 if you want to be generous the first election that shows continuity of leadership was 1979 well before the fall. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_European_Parliament_election

What the EU has been around since 1952?

Your correct I do in 99.5% of cases but depending on your location sometimes you only have the choice of Republicans then it goes into harm reduction mode. I have also had to vote for what I call ratchet democrats as they are put in power by corporate interests to stop any progress when dems are in power. I hold my nose as I do it but like I said at the end of the day its about harm reduction.

Most independents I know are very progressive but don’t pick a team. They defined their political views on an issue by issue basis. The problem with picking a team is picking that identity and letting the party dictate what you should think. Being a proper independent takes more work. You have to read into each candidate not just pick a letter.

Also you have tactical voting. I vote in every primary as a Republican to put the progressive in the best position then vote against them in the general if that makes sense for that race. Sometimes the progressive are not running in that district so in that case you vote the moderate Republican in the primary to do the least amount of harm to progressives.

I honesty wish more progressives would run in Republicans races incognito. so we can fuck up their numbers like Sinema or Fetterman.

Me in 2026 me straggling to even like computers and loathing the internet.

Of course what I mean is with the people I’m dealing with. For example airline flight crew goes on strike. The guy at the ticket counter is not the one that did it. But I would blow up the executives in a heart beat.
