I only learned about hostilities between the two countries after about 28-30 years on the planet (thanks, US edumacation system) and I still don't think I understand why they don't get along...

To any who are stuck in their countries as their governments choose the stupidest possible actions, you have my sympathies, and I wish you well in the coming days.

It was a stereo from 1987.

Ye Olde Analog airwaves, no fancy digital nonsense.

Now now, Keiko and Molly are perfectly respectable, perfectly happy ~~patterns~~ people.

It's the extended family that's the problem... Also my parents. And in-laws.

Basically my wife and I are the only sane ones.

I tested this with my Facebook app in 2013. Found a Spanish radio station, set my phone down next to it overnight, and for several weeks I was seeing ads exclusively in Spanish. Deleted the app the first day I saw them in Spanish, and deleted my account not long after that.

My wife still uses them after 5 years together and me pointing out all the times it's obviously eavesdropping on us, and she's even been creeped out by it before. Still uses it...

Unless my microphone and camera have physical switches, I will assume they are being used. Those little "your camera and microphone are off" icons in the corner of the screen don't reassure me.

Bare minimum, Orange Shitler has announced to the world he believes he can be manipulated.

Can't wait to hear how this is actually what strong men do from my relatives.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

Organized armed minorities make governments afraid.

Get organized, train.

It's that or lie down and take it.

They’d rather look even more incompetent with classified info than just admit whatever the real reason is or make up something fake to cover.

Every time something major breaks and it seems like everyone involved is extremely incompetent, this is what I assume.

They knew exactly what they were doing. It was intentional from start to finish. They just don't want to admit that, because then they would have to admit the real reason, and that thought terrifies them.

Jaywalking is a fake crime made up by car company lobbies to criminalize anything being on the road that isn't a car.

Bitch ass car peddlers trying to criminalize my natural way of moving...

The barycenter of the earth-sun orbit is within the surface of the sun, therefore the earth is understood to orbit the sun.

The JUPITER-Sun orbit barycenter, however, is outside the surface of the sun.
