60% of Missouri voters support fascism, war crimes, sex offenders, and domestic terrorists loose in their country.

33% of Missouri residents were too lazy to show up and vote. A tantamount approval of the destruction of themselves, their families, friends, and Ukraine.

St. Louis voted overwhelmingly for Kamala.
Their friends and family didn’t.
How did Missouri vote again?
The cities always vote mostly blue. The rest of the state is what fucks everyone
Thoughts and prayers bitches.
Have the day you voted for.
America will figure it out eventually
Everyone is on their own
Unless you're a billionaire ... your government has abandoned you
I lost my house to a forest fire when I was a kid and the help we got was literally life saving. This time around I'm already stockpiling dry food and water. Also been getting a bunch of work done on my car so it's as reliable as possible just in case I need to leave in a hurry. Got my "oh shit" bag ready to go in my car too with some extra water and food in the trunk. I live in an area that's prone to forest fires and flash floods so I'm not really taking any chances for when shit hits the fan. Usually I'd call this overkill but I don't think that applies this time around knowing that no one is coming to help.
I suggest setting up a small NAS on the way to the garage and backing stuff up on it regularly, that way when you need to go, just unplug it and put it in your car, and you have a backup of your data should the shit hit the fan.
I very much like the sentiment, but I’d mostly advocate for a data backup that doesn’t require any particular effort or memory to preserve in an emergency.
Obviously everyone’s personal situation varies, but as a simple default I usually recommend that friends and family simply use whichever cloud drive service is available from the device manufacturer that stores their photos (ie, google Drive, Microsoft one drive, or Apple iCloud). Photos are almost always the most irreplaceable digital asset, storage is typically just a few bucks a month, and using the “default” provider usually requires zero skill, effort, or recurring action. Other than making sure you can afford the auto-debit each month, your backs are mostly foolproof.
Cons include a dependency on a cloud service, which has a recurring charge and a privacy impact. The charge is typically minor vs the cost of a NAS or similar, and most services have some privacy assurances that may be enough to ease your concern. Nobody will ever care as much about your backups as you, but in aggregate a team of skilled full time FAANG engineers is often a more robust administrator than a solo customer.
If you have the desire and resources, you could and should do both backups, or as many as you reasonably can manage in as many places as possible.
One approach is to use the NAS for all your daily self hosting needs and only use cloud services to store backup images of the NAS.
Very fair points, I just dislike the cloud so a local solution came to mind first
Excuse me. We don’t do that anymore here in the United States. Grab those bootstraps and shut the fuck up peasants. If you didn’t deserve it, almighty god wouldn’t have thrown that tornado at you. Don’t be a drain on the state. Leader has deals to make. These bombs ain’t gonna just drop all on their own. Besides, they’re working on a glorious parade for you. What more do you want?
If I die I just want to die knowing my president had a sweet-ass jet.
Better yet, a sweet ass-jet
Good ol' XKCD 37
Next up is wildfire season, floods, hurricanes, oh my.
Trump season is here.
TRUMPNADO.
C’mon SyFy, I DARE YOU!!
TRUMPNADO: This summer, the Cheetos hit the fan!
shit-filled and a huuuuge splash radius.
And magats will celebrate.
Pretty sure FEMA no longer has the resources to help.
No there will be no help for you. Suffer. This is what you voted for.
St Louis City and County voted for Harris.
Some absolute bullshit for people to put rural maga nonsense on the suffering people of one of the most liberal cities in the US. Shits fucked up honestly. People in St Louis are derided by the maga nutjobs that run our state, and then by outside assholes too ignorant to know anything about our city in the first place. St Louis ISNT going to get FEMA assistance because its liberal. If it was Joplin again or some shit theyd have been there on Friday
When disaster comes for you, dont look at us to help…
Nah they denied money to Alabamas recent disaster too lmao. It’s not even political it’s just the rich really need that money more than you boo.
While I agree with your sentiment, no one’s looking at the city of KC to fix a problem in my town in Maine. The whole country is a victim to this, that’s the whole fucking point, there’s no one to look to for help anymore. Don’t worry the wealthiest liberals in your city will be fine, ask them for help and see if they’re any different?
Truth is no one can be bothered anymore. Just marinate in that suffering until you have the urge to change
Thanks for the well written reply. The people who have fought these far right nutjobs the most are the black folks in north St Louis City. They deal with every form of racism there is. North City folks are now suffering hard from a second massive storm, the tornado took the roofs, the storm last night flooded the houses and apartments.
So tired of ignorant takes generalizing about supposedly red states for an internet own. It only hurts our people more.
So fucked.
The state did not vote with them. The country did not vote with them. They are fucked.
That may be but your sudden nihilism isn't helping to hide that your original comment is wrong.
Worked well for Sanders...
...oh wait.
