Google admitted at least internally that they were going to be actively political against Republicans and trump after he won in 2016. That still hasn’t changed.

Migrating to other countries is extremely difficult. The “easiest” is probably getting a job in Europe that will help you get a work visa. If you want to actually become a citizen somewhere else, the easiest way is a country you can prove an ancestry from that counts that as a benefit, or be Jewish and go to Israel.

If you have no connection to another country, you probably need an advanced degree (preferably in an in demand field), a significant savings account balance, and a job offer or proof that you could obtain one fairly quickly. Even then it’s not a guarantee. Somewhat ironically, the US is one of the easier places to migrate to.

Cloning functionality is legal, but the tricky part is trademark for various terms and processes.

Convection toaster ovens are the best though. They let you “air fry” in a far better form factor, and you can also toast and bake in them.

Fishing varies wildly depending on the species you are targeting. The best advice is probably to look on YouTube for fishing videos in your area.

For pan fish baiting a hook and waiting for a bite (possibly using a bobber) generally works well. It’s easy to target them during the breeding season when they make “beds,” at other times you may need to find an area with a drop off or weeds. You generally want your bait to be off the bottom by a reasonable amount.

For something like bass you tend to use crank/jerk baits that you need to keep moving to entice a hit. You can generally find them in similar areas to pan fish as they eat those species. The idea is generally to pass lures through areas that allow a bass to hide and strike anything that swims by.

At certain times of the year you can target spawning fish in various rivers. Generally at these times what you use isn’t too important, it’s more about being there when the fish are passing through.

• Fried spam.
• crack an egg into it.
• add some curry paste.
• add fresh green onions.

If you make yourself irreplaceable you can’t get promoted.
Everyone always has a plan until they get punched in the face.

Always Sunny and Arrested Development. Both shows are just people being really fucking stupid and it’s somehow hilarious.

I watched the first season of White Lotus and it’s ok at best, I have no wish to watch more of it.

Grapes of Wrath is a slight stretch, but it’s shear length relative to it’s message makes it a very empty book.

I wouldn’t say nothing burger, but they’ve definitely aged poorly.

It’s more than that. There’s also stalker fantasy and a ridiculously overpowered main character.

They also said due process would still apply, which is actually pretty huge. Trump could continue to deny it, but it becomes a more direct rejection of judicial oversight. It might even get some Republicans to support impeachment.

All companies are tech companies, those that aren’t will be replaced by those that are. It’s been a common theme for a decade. I don’t really care that some venture capitalists lost their easy button to decide where to throw money for massive returns. Investing is supposed to require diligence.

It’s a common problem with estates though even if 4/5 people want to sell it for whatever they can get, that 1 person can keep it in limbo for a very long time. If there wasn’t a will or trust that explicitly gave someone power (and even if there is in some cases), a few years of nothing happening isn’t actually outside the norm.

I remember people talking about stories where someone got a great job because they happened to be a big guild leader and someone at the company was in the guild. It makes sense to me, just running a 10 man Kara with people that already knew what to do was exhausting.

Grand strategy games aren’t for me, but I love reading the insane stories from CKII and Dwarf Fortress.

Discovery sucks in the fediverse, so it causes a lot of fractured and spammed content until hopefully everyone migrates to a stable community. Otherwise everyone eventually leaves as there appears to be no interest in a topic due to the fragmentation.

A total shutdown is far more likely to hurt trump and the Republicans. The Democrats by supporting this are letting certain Republicans oppose it.
