Biiig difference to me - kinda annoying. I’m sure it’ll grow on me eventually - but the show is loosing its pizazz, I hope they can turn it around.

Hopefully you’re doing better!

Everyone has a unique identifier. If you don’t share that with anyone, how would they know who’s vote it is? Couldn’t the number be randomized and a new UUID provided on a routine basis?

Every American has a Social Security number, but it’s not exactly like we’re told to broadcast it to the world… I don’t see why something like that couldn’t be implemented here using technology.

My point is the general ledger technology of the blockchain which would be beneficial here.

But of course this is all a pipe dream. America is damn near a Kleptocracy and both political parties have written laws to prevent a third political party from ever arising.

I’d love to see that happen, But it’s because America won’t switch to a direct democracy. Instead we have a Kleptocracy run by corporations and the 1% who have power over both parties in America. However if it were possible to create a third political party where every member of the party earns only one vote maybe it would give people power back over corporations. But it’s a pipe dream, I know it’ll never happen.

I personally envision a future where we use blockchain technology to create a new direct democracy party in which every member has a unique identifier and the blockchain ledger system used to track polling data. Every individual member of the party would have one vote in each poll at ever level (federal, state, regional, etc) - for every single thing that gets a vote, and the elected politician representing that party would be required to vote based on the polling data.

Everyone would have access to a copy of the ledger to confirm their votes are counted accurately, and they can review polling data to confirm their elected politicians are voting based on polling data, and the representative would be replaced if they do not adhere to the results

Yeah, I certainly won’t use any product associated with that muskrat.

I’ve been so tempted to make and sell custom flags printed with pro-Biden/LGBTQ themes, then have pro-trump messaging printed on top using a water-soluble ink so that these idiots would hang the flags proudly like they always do…only to have the flags change completely the first time it rains hahaha. I’d love to see them frantically trying to pull down a flag in a rainstorm 😂

Few years older than you, decided not to have children after considering our healthcare, the climate, politics, etc. Why would I ever bring a child into this hell?

The wheels of justice grind slow but they grind eternal.

Jack smith and others have watched the games played by Chump’s lawyers over the years. They are crafting new charges based on how they anticipate the clown will play his cards (which lets be real, he never plays a new card aside from deny and deflect)

Someone else recently explained it best: It’s elderly abuse.

The entourage encircling these elderly congressional leaders are profiting greatly. As soon as these senators retire, these leeches lose nearly everything.

It’s a Weekend At Bernie’s movie plot, but with extra steps.

That’s what we need to do more often - mock these chuckfucks. Don’t get angry/irritated because that’s what they want, just point and laugh at them.

Oh I’m not disagreeing with you that it’s a bullshit reason - but I can bet that some penny pincher accountant working at McDonalds proved the company could save $X million (single digit lol) if they did this change. Never forget how a dude working for American Airlines in the 1980’s figured out that removing one olive from each salad in first class would save over $40k per year.

The more tactile, the better I say. The clickity clack is just an added bonus.

Friend of mine lives within walking distance of the gas station where he was just spotted. She’s on lockdown, helicopters flying overhead, schools are closed for the day, etc

I’m not talking about “habitable” either. I’m talking no countertops, no tile flooring, no mouldings, no finishings whatsoever. It is an empty “unfinished” shell with the intention that the buyer who moves into the home will fully furnish everything, including all the cabinets etc to match their personal tastes.

This indeed was a scam to sell fake investment properties to the up-and-coming Chinese middle class. There are entire ghost towns full of these investment properties that nobody will move into because there is zero other infrastructure for any residents if they actually moved into the property lol. It’s kinda bizarre and insane that the government allowed it to happen for so long.

That’s kinda a cultural thing (which I’m not so certain wasn’t part of the ruse itself).

Long story short, supposedly the Chinese “want” the clean empty slate so they can “customize” the home to meet their desires. People were told that they need investment properties because that’s what westerners are doing to make money. Simply buy an “empty unfinished home” and eventually someone is going to want to buy that property in the future and you’ll be rich!

Dang, that stinks - I actually enjoy the steering mechanics in this game. It’s the only mobile game I have played in many many years because it’s easy to play a race or two and put the game away.

Cool - forcing ads into the start menu, forcing edge on users. Guess like Win10 is where I leave windows forever.

I downloaded Mandrake Linux back in 1992. I’ve always fiddled with linux over the years but could never fulfill all my needs. But things have changed recently. I’ve started using ChatGPT to help me when I hit roadblocks with Linux, and it’s REALLY helped work around the various barriers that have kept me from fully adopting linux. Honestly, I am looking forward to switching entirely over to Linux for my business - I’m tired of Windows. And I’ve been here since Win3.1!!
