Eh, every other incumbent leader was ousted in this last round of elections post covid though so his normally extreme disqualification might’ve been balanced out

Why do you keep recreating accounts with the same username?

Orcinus orca

It’s not hard to figure out where people want to go, but is that route full of stable sediment layers/affecting the groundwater movement/at risk of erosion from groundwater movement/at risk of compaction/etc.

There’s a ton going on into environmental surveys for construction

I love it, but can’t get the keyboard to display on mobile

They have to keep consistently changing domains because they are blocked…

The effectiveness of the ban was not in your question.

They may still be online but that’s not what you asked for. They are blocked in the US, which is what you asked for.

Go to a non white majority county, and you’ll probably see some of this.

The law has already been passed to ban it. It takes effect in 2025. So while it is still accessible, it has in effect already been banned.

I guess since it has to already have been banned, then I could just trot out Napster, pirate Bay, Wikileaks, and Megaupload…

Did I say it has been banned? No, I said that it is being banned, meaning still in the process. That is unless the owning entity sells it to another company that doesn’t have significant foreign government controls.

Read critically.

Tik tok?

Literally being banned unless it is sold by the foreign company that owns it.

How much of Twitter belongs to Saudi Arabia due to their massive investment for Musk (South African) to buy it?

Pretty sure you could push the same foreign interference line.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. So it’s either cost of materials increase, increased environmental regulation, or greed.

Hmmmm I wonder which one contributes the most

Seriously though, have there been battery advances that warrant that price increase or is it just capitalism rearing its ugly head again?

Not a tankie you little shit.

…in that it is a well proven case that marijuana consumption does not in fact lead to hard drug usage?

The general US public voted in favor of doing away with norms. Dems tried to keep it up but with the evidence in front of them, why try to maintain the high ground on an unstable cliff?

Honestly leaning towards a “Fuck it, Biden should pull what we think Trump will so we can get supreme court precedent saying “no” since it’s not a republican doing it.”

I’ve seen so many people doing the outrage bit over this.

The American people voted for the felon over law and order, they should get off their high horse when they get a light example what they want.

For me it was an old acquaintance in college. Dude was Japanese and the things he said about other Asian groups was distressing.

Yeah, that’s bullshit. These same engineers are the ones putting an exit only on ramp into an area with massive traffic, thus increasing traffic further. Or a left entrance five lanes over from the immediate right exit at a major crossover.

Engineers in Texas are assholes.
