Afaik I can't remove the storage. At least that's what I'm reading online. I suppose I could crack it open and find out, but I'm nervous to do so in case it is stolen and we're blamed for any tampering. Idk maybe I'm being paranoid, I just don't want my dad to get in trouble for trying to do something nice for me.

Thank you for the advice though, I appreciate it.

Yeah it's all a bit sketchy, if we can't get this figured out I will help him do so. I think he used a debit card unfortunately, so I don't think he can get the money back. I'll have to ask him and make sure.

This fucking sucks.

We've asked, they are not responding. I guess it could be stolen but what I meant to say is that my dad/I did not steal the laptop. Apologies for any confusion.

No, there is no concern that the term limit will be removed or expanded. It hasn't happened since the amendment was ratified, even after multiple attempts from politicians of various rank and from each party.

There are plenty of things to be concerned about, but the "trump will become the life long leader of the United States in his presidency" rhetoric is stupid and unfounded.

Nixon couldn't do it, truman couldn't do it, trump is not as competent or capable as either of these presidents. It will not happen. This is literally the same shit republicans used to say about Obama and it didn't happen then.

He would have to convince 3/4s of the states in both the house of representatives and Congress to ratify, and there is no way he could do that.

I understand where you're coming from, but I still don't think it's anyone's right to tell me or anyone else that they are obligated to vote for any president.

Vote for everything else, vote in your local elections. That's what changes things. But I don't believe it's my duty to vote for one of two pieces of shit every election just because of some screeching fucking retards on the Internet.

So you're not going to provide any context at all? I'm not going to give you your answer for you.

Tell me what leaps you are referring to so that I can better educate myself, or fuck off. It is truly that simple.

According to the idf Israel removed themselves in 2005. But this is under heavy scrutiny from various human rights organizations.

"The United Nations, international human rights organizations and many legal scholars regard the Gaza Strip to still be under military occupation by Israel.[5] This is disputed by Israel and other legal scholars.[75] They argue that occupation requires an actual, physical presence by a military force that maintains authority.

Following the withdrawal, Israel continued to maintain direct control over Gaza's air and maritime space, six of Gaza's seven land crossings, maintains a no-go buffer zone within the territory, controls the Palestinian population registry, and Gaza remains dependent on Israel for its water, electricity, telecommunications, and other utilities."

What leaps are you referring to?

Yeah I feel like people misunderstand what I'm saying as though I'm considering voting for trump. I'm not at all. I'm just trying to figure out how well voting for Biden sits on my conscience, or if id rather write in daffy duck this year.

Trump is not on the menu for me, and I feel like I've made that fairly clear but not once talking about voting for him.

The president is a figurehead regardless of who is in office. But I do understand what you're saying. You're welcome to read my long reply to the other person who asked the same question in a much more polite way.

I'm getting so many messages from people about how immature and impractical it is to be wary of voting for Biden just because he isn't trump, it's absurd.

Biden is probably as bad as trump in very different ways, but dipshit liberals would have you believe that it is your patriotic duty to vote with them, otherwise you give a vote to trump when you refuse to vote.

With that being said, please vote in your local elections and for pretty much everything else. As liberals seem to forget, the president is mostly just a figurehead, but your senators, representatives, congressmen, etc mean much more and affect your life more significantly.

Explain to me how being reluctant to vote for one of two presidential candidates due to their policies and global politics is immature. Am I supposed to just say "well millions will die either way but at least sleepy Joe relieved some student debt?"

What's impractical is running a country off of the lesser of two evils vote.
