Just it’s novel to me that an arguably arbitrary line right there is another country.

And that which side of that line you happen to be born on may shape your entire future.

The is nothing in US law that prevents congress from expanding the size of the House to ~330,000,000

While we still can.

And time is limited. Hardware restrictions are coming. It won't be long until you have to jailbreak your PC to run anything other than MacOS or Windows (and jailbreak the OS if you want to install any software on those that isn't from their approved app store or 'digitally signed' by them) ... if it's even possible to jailbreak -- it will become a cat-and-mouse game between big tech trying to lock down your hardware and developers/hackers trying to find ways around their blocks.

Sure, you can keep using old hardware for a while ... but things wear out and break eventually, and even the ones that are still working will become increasingly incompatible with more modern protocols and interfaces.

Later games just show you a series of pictures and ask which one you look like.

They'll still choose your gender pronouns based on which picture you choose, though.

I don't have trash pickup, though, lol!

Too expensive in my area. (Seriously, $95/mo for the smallest can, and recycling costs extra!? Fuck off with that shit.)

Some of my trash gets burned in the wood stove -- free heat. Some can be fed to the chickens. The rest gets tossed in an old trailer that I drive to the dump myself 2 or 3 times a year. (We don't generate very much trash in our household in the first place.) For me, nothing much would change. I guess, presumably, if the trash pickup workers were on strike, the dump workers might also be. If the strike went on long enough that my trailer was getting overfilled, I guess I'd have to find somewhere else to dump it.

Yeah, if I was thinking of running for Congress as a Republican (heaven forbid), I'd probably wait 2026 out. Incumbents will surely shoot their shot, but if you're running for the first time, why waste the time, effort, and campaign funding when you're obviously facing such an uphill battle?

Shush now. No there isn't. No need to worry about it.

Stay in your blissful ignorance.

There's a reason there are so many of them.

Sounds a bit low, honestly.

Though, to be fair, even a lot of raving morons don't support Trump.

A lot of that crowd is elderly. Even if none of them change their opinion, he's still going to be losing them over time.

My grandma voted for Trump in 2024 ... by mail, from her hospice bed.

Hopefully, she won't be voting in 2026 or 2028. (Though I wouldn't put it past my family to cast another mail-in ballot for her 'because it's what she would have wanted'.)

Same here. I block all kinds of communities, often just because they're not relevant to my interests.

I wish I knew a way to block a community without having to visit that community first, directly from my front page where a post from that community is showing up.
