Sure the US may be past it’s glory days. Hell even the Rand Corporation (who write a bunch of stuff for govt leaders and other high ups) says it’s been trending downhill since some point in the early 2000s. They didn’t mention 9/11 but it seems like a good historical milestone.
Essentially the paper says the last 200 years have been an anomaly and we’re slowly sliding back to historical norms. They call it the neomedieval era and it’s not just the US.

Shiny smooth Ball rolls fast down Bouncing off of wide circular barrels and spring panels protruding up. Streaks of motion. Pinball flippers.

They do log our rhythms tho
I think being in direct contact with another known member with similar intent would do it
Wow looks good!
Being aware of local and state government is always a good thing to do and so much stuff is streamed since Covid. It makes you an informed voter and it’s where most of the stuff that impacts you will take place. Marijuana is one example of the impact of state law winning out despite federal law.
Reach out in any form you choose. Get to know them and what they stand for through their actions. Explain how things will effect you and people you know. Like anywhere else being an asshole is not the way to go. You might not change their mind but reminding them that everyday voters are paying attention has an effect even if you respectfully disagree.
Just wait until you hear about Washington
Well shit
It can be a thing for more skilled labor jobs. You csn be just okay at say… running machine shop equipment. You break more stuff and make more blem parts than most of the people in the shop. But it seems like you have a grasp on the overall processes and can type well.
Boom now you’re not working on machines but managing machinists. Ordering what they need, stat tracking, scheduling, product contracts etc.
Look how they massacred our military style assault bikes of war
I assume the idea is to ride to a good spot then use the bike from a kneeling position
Little noise, no thermal signature, low maintenance, way more fun than walking to war

Touch grass by day, gaming and movies by night
This is general advice regardless of party.
Look at your your town/city govt and keep an eye on meetings (a lot are streamed now post Covid). Know the people in office and what they are for/against. Focus on actions more than words. Vote for people you believe in and keep in contact with them. They can be surprisingly approachable.
Act similarly at the state level. Know and pay attention to the justices, senators and representatives. Reach out on issues you find important.
Being informed on govt and politicians doesn’t happen through ads and comment sections, and it doesn’t stop when elections are over. Do what you can where you can for what you believe in.
And maybe just maybe it will result in a solid Presidential candidate
If Europe gets into a war of course the US will help. But the same can’t really be said if the US gets into a war. The rest of NATO needs to be able to hold the fort if the US were to get suddenly …distracted in the Pacific
Nice try FBI
"Yo, I’m the king of the Arctic, top of the frost,
While you’re waddling lost on some South Pole rocks.
I’m the beast of the north, with teeth like knives,
While you slip ‘n’ slide, barely keepin’ alive.
I’m six feet tall, got the muscle and the brawn,
You’re a pint-sized bird, can’t even fly, come on.
They call me the apex, the top of the line,
You’re snack-sized, flappin’—couldn’t handle my grind.
I’m the white ghost, huntin’ seals at night,
While you shiver in groups, tryna huddle tight.
I roam solo, 'cause I run the ice,
You’re just fish food waddlin’—not worth the price."

This is all that I see
Temp has an effect on all batteries. Wouldn’t hurt. And keeping it dry will keep metal parts from rusting as quickly
In my experience people who are against more Ukraine aid think that the dollar amount we send is actual cash that can be spent in other places, rather than pallets of munitions that don’t keep forever anyway.
