  • Welcome to the Lawless States of America.

  • It is only a mistake if they don't resist hard enough.

  • Define nudity. I some places, topless is not considered nudity. In some places, an uncovered female face is considered nudity and punished harschly.

  • I don't. I just won't let you into my kitchen, you heretic!

  • Another war in the making...

  • "Authentic" Ragu Bolognese is a difficult field. Basically every family recipe, even in Bologna, differs. You can start wars over the question whether milk / cream should go in or not.

  • Nope. Abolishing instead of reforming the Senate would make the states meaningless. If that is what you want, OK. But you need to understand what you demand.

    Abolishing the electoral college is a good idea, indeed. But then it would be wise to reform the office of the president, too, and split it into two jobs, like many other democracies do: a head of government for the "business" end, and a head of state for ceremonial duties.

    And while you're at it, get rid of that stupid "first part the post" system. That's what rode the US into the deep shit creek in the first place.

  • Try Deepl for autotranslate if all you knew so far was Google translate or similar. They are playing in a completely different league with regards to translation quality.

  • No. The point is to give participation to a) the people on a federal level, I.e. the House of Representatives, and b) the states, especially with regards to laws that directly effects the states, I.e. the Senate.

    These are two different kinds of representation and are important to strike a balance between State and Federal powers.

    Abolishing the Senate would disempower the states and turn the US into a centrally managed government without any input or representation on the state level.

    The current method of having two senators per state (or two electors per state extra for the presidential election) is crap. On that behalf I am with you. But the bicameral system as such is important, and should be fixed instead of abolished.

  • Don't abolish it, just give it representatives in relation to the states' number of citizens. The difference from the House would still be that they would represent the states. In some countries, such a Senate's members are actually bound to vote according to their states' parliaments decisions.

  • Any problems with that?

  • Why the fuck should they care? The American justice system is basically defunct by now, exactly how the fascist government wants it to be.

  • He makes something up that his hardcore fanatics would consider "good". That's all.

    He is running into the situation that even his core base notices that they cannot afford food or fuel anymore, and that his ICE is not just taking "criminals" off the streets, but also their underpaid and exploitable slaves employees.

  • It is stupid enough to vote Republican if you are gay, but then being traitorous against fellow victims of the conservative rage machine is really a human low point.

  • One place to look at are web sites dealing with company bankruptcies. They are good for purchasing electronics and tools.

    Back when windows and office licenses were bound to a sticker with a key number, I bought a stack of broken laptops for 10€. They were leftovers from an auction - nobody wanted them. I removed and tested RAM and harddisks, and then cut out the bottom of those laptops where the license stickers were. I sold each set of licenses, Windows and Office, for 10€ each, making a good profit. And kept the RAM and HDs that worked for my own use.

  • I'd learn what I can about investment strategies, and to determine between good and bad ones.

  • For once, the law was working.

  • Simple answer. The right people were sufficiently bribed.

    Having people killed by heat is cheaper than giving them AC, water, breaks, and other protection. Some of those potential savings went into the pockets of people in charge to buy this law.

  • A bit pricy for home use with 8-10k bucks...
