One thing that I think non-USians don't understand is that our elections are not ran by some non-partisan agency that has a goal of running an efficient, fair election. Our elections in general (although it varies by state) are ran by partisan actors who know which areas vote for their party and which ones don't. They intentionally try to make it easy for their supporters and hard for their detractors to vote.

I live in Ohio if you couldn't tell, and our chief elections officer (the Secretary of State) is not afraid to tell people that he wants Donald Trump to win the election. He is not neutral. That's just the way it is here.

There are maker spaces in some of the larger cities due to this. There is one in Columbus, but it never took off because...most people who live in Columbus have garages.

Most bus systems in American cities are for people to get to work and back home. Trying to take it to, for instance, a friend's house, and you're generally going to spend about 4x the time it'd take to drive there.

Funny? I guess you had to be there.

I get that the spirit is what a person has seen IRL, but there's a pretty (in)famous video of a guy having sex with a woman in the driver's seat of a Tesla in self-driving mode.

I think at one time in Nevada (or possibly still) you can get allodial title to property. You don't have to pay taxes on that. However in practice you're simply pre-paying property taxes for a certain amount of time.

IANAL, but I recall this being a thing in a few states.

I enjoyed posting on/reading Mastodon, so I decided to create an account. I think I'm unique in that I never had a Reddit account.

So far it's been an interesting diversion.

No because I don't believe people who are dead can communicate with the living.

Yeah I'm pretty angry and anxious too. Angry that a person like Donald Trump could outdraw Vermin Supreme.

I suppose I might not understand the question then. To me having root is more important. I guess I'd say why not? I do not use any functionality that stops working due to SafetyNet or whatever.

Yeah buddy, that's his own hair.

Sorry to hear of it Monster. If it helps, I was in your situation before and am doing better now. If it doesn't, I hope you can find something to keep you going.

Much love.
