Just here for the facts
I hope I help stop it if/when I see it happen and don’t freeze up. But right now, I’m not where this is happening because I can’t drop everything and travel out of state.
I write and call my representatives. My social group is trying to stay aware and not ignore what’s going on.
When we traveled out of the country for the 1st admin, we got treated with suspicion until we said truthfully we voted for the Democratic Party options.
To be clear: People were great until they (usually) guessed we were Canadian, then we’d get side-eye when they found out we weren’t.
The difference in land border crossing experience into Canada got more overall hostile the further into 2018-19.
We haven’t traveled like that since Covid. But I imagine voicing your distaste for fascism is required in polite circles now. Saying you voted Kamala and for the Dems is a good short-hand, even if you recognize they aren’t anywhere close to Perfect-Good.
Ha, true! I burn easy, I hate missing a spot when applying sunscreen. For her sake, I hope it’s both.
I wouldn’t be surprised to learn Grok is a cell of unpaid prisone… interns typing out responses.
Yeah, she really really pale, or coated in sunscreen.
Someone commented somewhere that I can’t find now… Trump as Plague (covid, firing bird flu, ebola teams), Putin as War, and Netanyahu as Death. With Doge also trying to end USAid, Snap, contracts and programs our farmers rely on, and Social Security… that tracks well for Famine.
I don’t believe in it, but the idea haunts me that people are trying to force it to happen.
I think they are counting on 2024 being our last elections.
Question: IF he were to surrender, would he be deported to the UK or to a South American prison?
If it’s the latter, can he cross into Canada and just go home for his safety?
I’m not saying he should, I’m asking what his options are.
For anyone else reading this phrase for the first time: “Stochastic terrorism is a form of political violence instigated by hostile public rhetoric directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished with indirect, vague or coded language, which grants the instigator plausible deniability for any associated violence.[1] A key element of stochastic terrorism is the use of media for propagation, where the person carrying out the violence may not have direct connection to any other users of violent rhetoric.” - Wikipedia
I have a bottle of lavender fabric softener I’ve had for probably 7 years. I use it on blankets and sometimes sheets because I like the smell of this one. Everything else I use is unscented.
I wash the blankets like once or twice a year unless a cat barfs on it. Then it gets washed again.
A couple times a year I have static problems. I have a box of dryer sheets that are also at least 7 years old. I reuse them too for multiple loads. Don’t use them for months, get zapped multiple times, throw in dryer sheet, run on low/no heat for 10 minutes, less static electrocution and can fold laundry with less cursing.
Also if you want to wear something straight out of the dryer that is so full of static electricity it’s sticking to you and turning you into a wizard, zapping everything you touch… a light mist of water helps. Not a drenching. It should dry fast. Also works on hair.
Don’t states have extradition with each other? Or is that just on TV shows?
