Media has consistently been putting too much weight into statements and what people say as if it were facts.

For guns, I picked up a decent one from a government surplus auction. The keypad had a couple numbers that didn't work and someone cut out the battery holder. But 10 bucks fixed both of those. So I got a $500 safe for about $45.

Less about burglars or fires and more about curious young hands.

Sure. But it might be easier if you had a birth certificate or your insurance documents at the bank. It's just one less hassle to prove who you are to have someone make you a new copy.

Arguably this is less of an issue with digital documents.

I still think it's better than discord. And alliance auth tied in super easy.

Besides, I think it's better that it's usually hosted on an individual corp/alliance level.

Shut should do one thing. And do it well.

At least this would give us a chance to rebuild it. If we don't, we may never have the opportunity. If things settle again, these are the people who would agree to creating some rules around gerrymandering and even consider eliminating it across the country so it can never be used again to try and consolidate power.

But if we let the Republicans do so without challenge, they will enshrine it and it will never go away.

Totally fair.

I do admit the phones look cool and have some very nice features. But they've been on my "never buy" list for a long time for all their products, phones included.

I think not being able to uninstall Facebook was one of the breaking points when I last trialed their phone.

It's been a while since I used Samsung. My work phone is a Samsung flip of some sort that gets powered on once a month.

However, it's not just their phones that have me turned off. Their TVs built in OS is shit and they just had a whole lot of bad press for their fridges that will start showing ads. Not to mention how their appliances tend to have the shortest lifespan of comparably prices appliances.

Good hardware, but consistently anti consumer software.

Samsung is on my shit list. Their spammy, ad riddled UI is infuriating.

I don't trust them. They lock their phones down and don't let you remove their bloatware or block their ads/notifications.

Fuck them. Never buy Samsung.

Why would he completely remodel the white house if he was planning to leave in 3 years?

"I think that our legal analysis is that we have to use the emergency money for emergencies," he said. "But if you think about it, we're in something that a Democrat judge is willing to say is an emergency"

Fucking asshole. You represent the orange turd that used "declaring an emergency" as his modus operandi for seizing powers.

We had much nicer weather this year. I had maybe a third of the trick or treaters as I did last year.

It was much less than I expected, and I have a ton of candy left over. Like 90 full size candy bars left. Last year I went through 120 to 150. This year, we handed out about 70, and as it got later into the night I was handing out multiple to kids.

I'm in a middle class Chicago suburb. We've had ICE in our city and neighboring suburban cities. While I haven't seen them on our street, we do think the general political climate kept a lot of families home.
