Squatters' rights doesn't really exist in the US like it does in Europe/the UK.

I probably used a bad example. I like his comedy, but you hear it and it's immediately dates itself. It's the same when you see a old 70s Friar's Club roast vs a Comedy Central one. The jokes are still funny but trying to take that sensibility and make relevant today would be difficult.

Look, your posting history says you're a reasonable person, and I respect that about you.

We're not talking people next door protesting some government action. We're not event talking about people doing something unpopular. We're talking about people who don't have the common courtesy to be a good neighbor. It's "I will do whatever the fuck I want whenever the fuck I want and if I'm bothering other people in my neighborhood then fuck them because no one tells me what to do." I live in an area where I regularly have to deal with people rolling coal and revving their engines because they want people to know the rules don't apply to them and no one is going to tell them what to do.

The old rule was "you right to swing your fist ends at my nose." After COVID it seems like the rule is "I'll swing my fist wherever the hell I want, and you had better get out of my way." The local PD has been quiet quitting ever since then unless they can harass some minorities.

Being retired and living on my grandma's farm. I could do that today if I had the money. Just tune out everyone and everything. Watch broadcast TV and get movies from the library.

The amendment process is basically dead because the politicians realized that it's much easier to just get a majority of the Supreme Court to say what you want it to say.

Yeah I'm wrong. Thanks for the correction.

I don't boycott Wikipedia. I just don't give them any money. I don't give lots of websites any money. I will give them money when he's no longer a part of the board.

Wikipedia is a great resource started by a terrible person. I recommend people use it.

I'll match that.

The day I finally had a positive net worth, I was really, really happy.

I posted on social media that I finally had nothing. So to all the people who think I had it so easy and my generation (elder millennial) didn't know what hard work was...I finally had nothing after being alive for 30ish years.

If those are right, my steaks are very underdone.
