Kbin does that sometimes

Yup. The traditional American middle class is essentially an endangered species

For anyone interested in someone who’s fantastic about interviewing people from all over the US (and maybe someoutside, cant remember), Peter Santenello is great. Found his videos on Appalachia one night when I couldn’t sleep and was hooked.

One of the few people that actually let’s people talk and tell their story without trying to be leading or get a sound bite.

Ding ding ding. It’s incredibly rare for authoritarian governments to disarm the far right. The police have shown time and time again they will not protect you, and that’s if they’re not actively joining in

We protect us

Oh I never said it was good

That’s a fantastic question

As someone else commented, the incumbent won their last election 87%-13% to a libertarian in a race where the GOP didn’t run a candidate.

I don’t think there’s much risk of that, thankfully.

BabylonBee is a satire site

At all times at least 1 step further than whatever Israel last did

If I have to have microplastics in my balls, then the fish do too dammit!

Probably technically, but I can almost guarantee you they quite literally couldn’t care less about two brothers sharing an account. They’re more worried about large groups sharing an account.

It’s something people don’t realize. We may be a scourge on the Earth, but we’re still nowhere even near the top of the list of worst things to happen to this planet.

As the other reply brought up, Theia crashing into Earth. Flood basalt events. The Chicxulub impact.

We may be able to cause some real awful shit, but we still are nothing compared to what the forces of nature can produce. And just to clarify, I’m not saying this to in any way downplay the seriousness of climate change, or that we should do nothing about it.

The answer to the ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians is not more ruthless indiscriminate killing of civilians

You’re either a heullva lot stronger than me or have a much smaller TV if it’s a handheld device

Not reading the article and being aggressively confidently incorrect is basically this guy’s MO

One of the most popular recent movie franchises is literally about a guy who goes on a murder rampage because someone killed his dog

Why the fuck did they think this would go over well.

Stares at most PDX games having increasing player counts

How much of this is the lack of people wanting to play strategy games vs the lack of good strategy games

This nation used to kill fascists

We’re clearly not going to get boring or normal, so yeah im cool with undangerous but weird

Ones here in the states vary a lot from place to place. Some places have absolutely everything, books, movies, games, tools, makerspaces (or at least 3d printers), computers etc.

But most city libraries outside if your big big ones are still relatively small. My local one is about the size of a small grocery store, real modest. Damn do the workers there pour their hearts and souls into it though, they’re always hosting events and stuff. Really appreciate our library workers. Main benefit is getting access to their network, which generally gets you a whole host of other stuff. Ebook rentals, audio book rentals, book transfers, etc.

It’s a shame what the GoP is trying to do to the American library system.
