I’m poor. I rarely eat out and I think I ordered delivery once in college.

Tea famously does not grow in the US.

Plus, they sell in aluminum cans, which probably are sourced from Canada or Mexico, or are made in the US from aluminum sourced from Canada or Mexico.

And of course all of their machinery requires upkeep using parts and chemicals which may or may not be made abroad.

It’s a pretty regulaely a big problem here.

But to answer your question, just check sources, verify with a second outlet, and call it out when you see it. That’s all you can do on an individual level.

My brother in Christ, you do not realize how down bad the 20-something girls with daddy issues are.

My best friend hooked an old guy without custody of his kids. They’re moving in together next week.

Edit: My point is that people like her exist and have their own preferences. Unfortunately the vast majority of men she goes out with are creeps. I’m going to support my friend, but I’m also doing a very in depth background check as soon as I learn his last name. The overwhelming majority of men interested in much younger women are creeps.

I’ve had an original g502 since they first came out. Mine was a return that had been damaged, and other than some cosmetic damage (corrosion on the scroll wheel, rubber texturing worn flat, gamergrease stuck in the cracks), it has held up remarkably well for the past 10+ years.

I’d encourage you to get a budget model from a gaming manufacturer just so you can avoid getting a mouse with integrated acceleration or something stupid like that.

There are inflatable car covers that can work, but ice never seen one in use. Everyone here accepts that you either leave the car in covered parking or you file an insurance claim when it gets too bad.

I hate that term. Eichmann very notably revelled in his role and tried to play up how many people they killed.

If you were a straight, white man it was a good time to exist economically with a high degree of social cohesion. Oppression was worse, but it probably was much less visible to your dad’s sort of person.

And the economy was booming. My own dad went to college full time and worked 20 hours a week loading trucks in his 20s. On this salary, he was able to buy a starter house, marry his first wife, have 2 kids, and complete his degree.

It fucking sucked if you were literally anyone else though. Married women were barely better than property, and they frequently killed themselves to escape their husbands. Spousal abuse was common and not really looked down on in many communities unless you took things “too far” and sent them to the hospital. Being queer was just straight up illegal, and you’d be imprisoned and ostracized if you were caught. Racism was…worse to say the least.

While things might have been better in the past for a specific population or from a specific point of view, always remember that we have made substantial progress even in the past decade or two. Living in the past is a fool’s paradise.

American rail doesn’t exist outside of like two cities. To take public transit to work, I’d have to walk about 12km to the train station. From there, I could catch a train that runs every hour to downtown. I think that train takes about 45m, but I have no idea how often it runs. From downtown, I could transfer to light rail for 20m, transfer again to a bus for 15m, and then I could walk the last 6 blocks or so. Not counting the 12km walk, it would take at least 1:20 plus time spent waiting on transfers.

Or I could drive there in 45m of horrible traffic.

We already elect ours, and it is a clusterfuck. Elections need to have public interest or they just become a contest to see who can whip the most weirdos into the booth.

No. Imagining an independent future for any state (including California and Texas) is pure cope. The states are so interdependent that attempting to secede would be ruinous for the state in question.

The only exceptions I can think of are Alaska and Hawaii, which might be able to survive if they found another country to keep them supplied and economically connected.

Nope! Medical knowledge was very anti-masturbation for a long time. Devices like this, genital mutilation, and corn flakes (no, really) were all popularized in the US by Dr. Kellogg to prevent masturbation.

Probably? While it’s weird and gross enough to current sensibilities to be sarcasm, these devices were absolutely used to prevent masturbation for several decades in the US so…who the fuck knows…?

No. They exist, but they basically only have beer, cigarettes, chips, and candy. No actual food.

They’re also very badly overpriced.

They’re saying that our current ideas of male beauty have been warped heavily by drugs and plastic surgery such that we consider naturally attractive men to look unremarkable.

I agree, except there are a lot of fucking weirdos who care way too much about random stuff. I can totally see a random 4channer running a bot to smear a TV show they don’t like or something.

Serious answer: you don’t.

HOWEVER, it doesn’t really matter. The world is a big place, and you can find a decent size group who will expound any shitty opinion when given the opportunity. You already couldn’t blindly trust the information or opinions you found online, so whether it comes from a LLM, a troll farm, or just an idiot doesn’t really matter too much.

It definitely can be that easy, yes. My most successful day was just a hook (no bait) off the side of the boat while we just let the line hang.

That being said, you can learn the local varieties of fish, their preferences for different kinds of bait, and you can explore your local area for good fishing spots.

If you have the option, there’s probably a 90 year old Korea vet who will tell you the arcane arts of catching swordfish in the rockies somewhere.
