ContrarianTrail

Shooting up a school is the easiest way to go from nobody to everyone talking about you the next day. Grim but true.

If I were a dictator I'd probably make it illegal to publish the names or any other information about the shooter. Even better if media wouldn't report on the shooting at all but I feel like prohibiting that would be taking it too far.

An actual conservative or assumed one? Because I get falsely accused of being one here regularly

This may not be the best platform to reach out for Trump supporters.

It's just bizzare to me that there's data caps on your internet plans. Especially since you're already paying 5x more than I'm for unlimited connection. I assume there must be some other reasons for this too than just greed. Perhaps the size of your country? I mean even Texas alone is almost as big as entire Europe.

I'm the only guy in my (small) friend group who still used pattern code instead of fingerprint so I take that to mean my phone is by default more difficult to break into than most. Giving my fingerprint to a giantic tech firm has always seemed like a bad idea so I never did. Though the fingerprint reader acts as a power button too so who knows if they've scanned it anyway.

The front lines are not static so you can only imagine the difficulty SpaceX has trying to determine which terminal is in Ukranian use and which ones are Russian. For all we know, they may have disabled hundreds if not thousands of terminals they've found out to be used by the Russians and are getting no credit for it. I don't buy into this narrative that Elon is personally invested into Russia winning. I've seen no evidence for it but plenty against it which everyone just seems to conveniently ignore because Musk bad.

It almost sounds like you’re trying to argue that he’s actually a man of his word. That guy wants a lot of things. Most of it he cannot get.

I simply don't agree with the premise, that the goal of the right is to "suppress or even erase trans people." Most people on the right don't even care as long as it's not pushed onto them and taken too far. Supporting gender-affirming surgeries for undocumented immigrants in custody is taking it too far, and if someone questions that, it doesn't mean they're transphobic.

And even if not, I'd rather be miserable on a cool bike.

When I was like three I watched the property maintenance dude plowing snow on our building's front yard with a pickup truck and I thought that not only was it the coolest job in the world, but oh, how badly I wanted a truck like that too.

Fastforward 30 years and there I'm staring at one in the used cars parking lot at the local dealership realising it's what I've always wanted and I can actually afford it too. Now I get to stare at it every single day because it's mine. I even ended up starting my own business later so now it's not only fun to drive and beatiful to look at but also useful.

Good for her.
