The rural population isn’t the issue, it’s suburbia which is where the majority of the US population lives.

It’s not dense enough for public transportation to be viable and it’s zoned in a way that makes pedestrian traffic a non starter.

Suburbia causes a lot of problems. I understand why it exists - owning a house with a yard is nice. I personally wouldn’t want to give that up to live in an urban environment if I didn’t have to

Solution is stop using delivery services.

I own the push mower version.

That was true of the first gen batteries. They lasted a year and then stopped holding a charge.

There are second gen batteries that seem to be holding up better, I’ll be going into my third year with them soon so we’ll see.

You want to get things like this passed, you get a big enough group to just walk around down town in the rich area open carrying and mean mugging everyone.

Make the upper class uncomfortable. You’ll get that passes in no time.

Do I need sources for the failed invasion of Kyiv?

Everyone knows about it.

I’ll tell you, I have my setup to the point where I go to one website, subscribe to a show, and episodes of that show appear to watch on my TV same day they are released.

I also set myself up to get email alerts telling me what new episodes I have to watch when they are done being downloaded.

… Setting all that up took me awhile and will take tech skills. But now that it’s set up, it’s zero touch aside from adding new shows.

Plus, I never have to worry about trying to find where to stream at it and even if my Internet goes out I can still watch my shows

Yeah. This is the one that came to my mind.

Dude straight up ended his career. His band members left, label dropped him and his colabs said they wouldn’t work with him anymore.

Turns out he was a lieutenant in the oath keepers and the FBI grabbed him. Last I heard he made a plea deal and got put into the witness protection program.

He is the band and it can’t exist without him. Even if he could continue, he’d have to rebuild it from the ground up.

It’s a shame, I really Loved Demons and Wizards, the iced earth / blind guardian colab group.

… Based on some song lyrics I feel I should have seen this coming when looking back though.

Highly unlikely.

Anyone with an R next to their name would be commiting political suicide to cross the isle like that.

We might see one of the more centrist Rs try to broker a power sharing deal if things get too bleak though since it’s apparent the freedom caucus does not know what compromise or negotiation means.

I still use Reddit on desktop but I’ve switched to Lemmy on mobile since Reddit killed third party apps.

I would use just Lemmy but it hasn’t hit userbase criticality yet.

It’s fine as a link aggregator but frustrating when a post I’m interested in has a deserted comment section.

Yes, it’s generally considered rude to switch languages specifically to hide your conversation.

It’s because most will assume you are doing it to talk shit.
