Let those welfare queen red states pull themselves up by their own bootstrap

You've got to remember that these are just Vaccine-Hesitant Americans. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West... You know, morons.

Capitalism at work!

I get a doctor's appointment, and I...

Put it on my calendar.

Put a reminder a few days before.

Put a reminder on the month as well.

Add it as a alarm.

Boomerang the email reminder.

Write a post it note.

Make a chat reminder that will fire a few days prior to the event.

Make a chat reminder that will fire the day of the event.

Tell my wife.

Hard to get money from an entity that no longer exists.

Oh, and you don't want it and want the stupid model? You can still buy it for 3x the price.

Be careful with a stungun. It requires close range confrontation, and It's not effective if the assailant is drugged up or heavily drunk and ignores the shocks.

Mace gives good distance, and pepper in the eyes doesn't care about the stimulants in your blood stream.

Also practice with it. A large number of people carry self defense tools and choke under pressure/fail to use it correctly during situations.

No life behind the souless eyes.

I got a bread maker for free. I asked my coworkers and THREE different people said they had a bread maker that's just sitting there, unused as gifts that they don't want.

It's way different from Obama's. This new version gives Iran $300 BILLION dollars.

I have two points to add to this:

1 - As a liberal, there was nothing more frustrating than having to vote for Kamala, a candidate who was aggressively "pro-cop", especially as many in the country were protesting for defunding cops. Youre not going to energize most people with an angle like "You want us to vote to stop Trump?"

2 - As a person who is part of the black/immigrant community, the government has a history of ignoring us for decades. It's not the federal government, but the local government too. Systematic racism has always kept us down. And I hate to say it, Trump got a wall going. Trump has ICE harassing immigrants. These are newsworthy events, even if they're in the wrong fucking direction. But a Democrat has a history of never wanting to create a ripple as they appeal to all sides.

It's interesting how there are more dead protesters than police forces.

It used to be PBS for adults. I remember turning it on and there would be a documentary about like piano players and the connection to the brain.

Went down hill thanks to reality TV.

A decade ago, Australia rolled out where they have a right to check your phones and laptops. So company trips, it was always recommended to bring burners/reformatted devices. So that's been my norm.

I've been doing that for years and would strongly recommend it.

White supremacists mods in the politics forum?

On Lemmy?

Out of the loop here.

Another one?

During breaks after lunch, my office coworkers all grab small bowls of cereal from the break room and just eat it dry.

I thought it was weird at first but the more I think about it, it shouldn't be. It's pretty much sugary snacks.

Came to say Terraria.

Played it in 2017.

Then tried to play it in 2022 and was blown away with what was added.
