Reminds me of something a criminal would pull.

I was really confused for a second thinking, “a pair of what” then I realized you meant pear!! Lol. English is fun

Yeah but for people to know that would require actually understanding the impeachment proceeding and prior/subsequent investigations.

I think we all know how that went.

Plenty of Trump’s former cabinet and generals he worked with spoke out against him.

People are just ignorant and vote against their own self interests.

PDF warning but anyone wanting to peep the law - it’s here.

There’s actually very explicit language that Congress wrote into the law basically ensuring the president, or the executive at large, has to support Israel militarily.

So there isn’t really an easy way for a president to unilaterally untangle us from our military alliance with Israel even if they want to. It will take a literal act of Congress to change the course of the State Dept when it comes to Israel as a lot of what is wrong is prescribed by law as necessary.

Idk I think because of how much force needs to be contained by the restraint it is rigid for a reason. My guess is there is an engineering reason based on physics.

Also you don’t want people to be falling asleep while driving (anymore than already happens) so maybe that’s a factor too? Like it’s not meant to be a pillow lol

Agree.

Also people seem to think the head rests are there for you to constantly be resting your head on but they are head restraints.. They’re there so you don’t break your neck if you get in an accident - not to be comfy on a long drive.

Cool so I assume you’re voting for Harris then? She obviously is the candidate who would cause less harm to the people of Gaza and Palestinians in general.

So it’d be pretty dumb to say something like that and then not try to do what you can as an individual to help (by voting for Harris).

Ok your sample size of one person confused about the baseball schedule isn’t exactly saying they have no idea what is going on. Nevermind how absurd it is to extrapolate that to 99% of homeless folks.

Also, yeah it sounds like you’re exactly the person I think we should hand assistance to, have a free apartment for a year while you figure shit out. Or hell, forever, you’ll just spend your extra money in the local economy anyways so it’ll be good.

You want to get different place, need more money, I’m just saying that as a fact not like saying it’s easy. It’s damn hard out there.

It’s crazy to me it takes you 3 hours to commute one way though and you do that daily. I mean, idk your situation but I feel like there must be something closer that pays the same or better. That’s just an insane amount of time to spend just getting to work, you’re saying you literally only spend about 10% more time working than you do travelling to the job.

Anyways, yeah you’re just convincing me that our minimum wage should be increased. Also, if you’re single and making $12 an hour in the USA - you’re probably really close to or even at qualifying for food assistance. Don’t be afraid to get help, you’re worth it.

the majority of the homeless have mental health issues where they don’t understand what’s going on 99% of the time.

Just … No. Obviously fake and pulled straight out your ass.

what’s to stop me, someone who’s living outside of my means but still not making much money at all from just quitting my job and having free rent and all day free rather than 99% of my day spoken for and still losing money?

Well, presumably, the fact that you’d like to have money to do other stuff? Or to have a nicer place to live? Maybe you want to drive a nice car? Honestly the lifestyle you can sustain on government assistance is not going to be fancy.

That’s awesome, best wishes! Sorry about your medical situation, I get stress/anxiety myself so can commiserate.

I’m not down voting you and I applaud chasing your dreams, but a well paying, stable, fully remote job is not something to give up lightly.

Maybe that’s why people are down voting you? Not that they should but people be people.

Personally, I’m just some schlub on the internet, but I’d strongly advise you to reconsider leaving that kind of financial stability. At the very least you’ll need a pretty good amount of money saved up to live off of. Most indie games aren’t successful, most indie game companies fail. There’s a gigantic risk for you and a huge lost opportunity cost (your income & benefits, particularly benefits like health insurance if you’re in the USA) just to get started and on top of that you have to make something people want to buy.

Not doubting your talents but people would kill to be in your spot (remote, well paid, full time) - I’d think long and hard about the risk you’re accepting.

I do, however, wish you well and hope you succeed beyond your wildest expectations! Just something to chew on.

Alright well now you’re just trolling or maybe you were all along. Or you’re honestly that dumb.

Dude … Yeah the customer is the school and the decision is to go with a lower bidder, usually. It depends on the factors the customer, in this case a school system, wants to prioritize and any rules and regulations around it.

You’re just playing at semantics at this point.

Like it or not this is a private market we’re talking about. Also, I’d challenge the notion that private schools automatically have better cafeterias than public ones. It very much depends on school funding and what they can budget for.

Most educators would prefer better school lunches but the money has to come from somewhere and the way we find schools in the USA by using mostly property taxes, in most states, really causes a lot of inequality. So there is a give and take, like everything else.

At the end of the day a lot of the guidelines boil down to x calories consisting of something that has XYZ nutrients (vitamins/minerals). Whether that’s a slice of nutra-loaf or an actual meal is up to who is implementing the guidelines and the money they have.

Oh yes I forgot bidding out contracts to multiple suppliers that are private companies is … Communism?

It’s literally a failing of capitalism (cheapest bidder usually wins the contract) that the lunches aren’t better. Be mad about it if you want to, we all should be, there are absolutely problems with school lunches in many districts.

Now you could talk about how there isn’t a lot of competition and there are monopolies like Sysco in the food service industry, but still the suppliers for school lunches are privately owned companies in the USA.

Well, at least here in the USA, we already are spending the money. Getting worse results than the rest of the world and spending more money on it. Because private health insurance is a joke and we’re all the punchline.

Okay I didn’t watch the video until looking at your link and saw the whole “he started saying migrant wrong” bullshit and was like, “okay maybe that is what happened.”. No, this dude straight throws a hard r n word out casually, unmistakable as anything else.

I’m educated enough to know you’re either deep in a hole of disinformation / misinformation or on Russia’s side. We learned that appeasement doesn’t work with Nazi Germany and other examples, Russia being the latest.

If you know of the history and issues of Russia and Ukraine then you’d know they’re intrinsically linked to the USA and “Western” interests going pretty far back. Plus lots of trade flows through Ukraine and they export a ton of food - it’s important to lots of innocent people who are also impacted by the war even if it’s not by blood loss. The costs in lives is too high but also the costs in material, in trust, in future cooperation between nations has been eroded by Putin’s actions.

I can believe that because I think Putin doesn’t necessarily want to start WW3. But he has indicated that it wouldn’t have stopped him as well

You can’t have it both ways. It’s either he would or would not have. I think recent history has shown the exact opposite of what you claim Putin indicated. Nobody has invaded a NATO country because it works. That’s why the reaction from Finland and Sweden to this Russian invasion was to join NATO after so many years of not being a part of it even bordering the USSR. They know Putin won’t dare attack a member of that alliance. Clearly neutrality did not work when it came to Ukraine. Nor did appeasement, we’re paying for not being tougher in 2016 but the time between then and 2022 was spent strengthening Ukraine’s military precisely to stop the next occurrence of a Russian attack.

I’m not saying I have better insight about that war, but from my understanding, Ukraine shouldn’t join NATO

Well it’s a good thing that from the understanding of the people who make the choices you’re in the wrong.

I think it should be readily obvious why the USA should defend a country against an act of aggression. For one thing, violating international boundaries and seizing land through war ought to be punished. The precedent should be set that doing so brings about international rebuke and strong consequences. For another, the USA made a security guarantee to Ukraine when they gave up their nuclear weapons. We should make good on it.

Ukraine joining NATO would have prevented this war. Russia isn’t going to war with a country in NATO - just look at the Baltic states. They joined NATO to protect against a possible Russian aggression just like what’s happening now in Ukraine. That worked. It would have worked for Ukraine and it’s part of why I believe Putin pulled the trigger on this before Ukraine was in NATO.
