can people even insure wank trucks?

There are multiple American accents. I consider west coast and to some extent Midwest unaccented… New York or Boston, yeah, and southern drawl, yeah. Alabama is like a new England who drank lead for 120 years. But obviously thats just my perspective. It was hilarious to me to hear my Australian friend do an American accent from her perspective.

The first one sounds like Jamaican guy I know who lives in canada. Second, I don’t know. Third is just generic American accent, maybe Southwest or west coast.

Can’t even call it capitalism most of the time, just “liberals” which is confusing in US political terms.

Trump’s just a symptom. He’s a horrific figurehead, but the entire conservative political and media establishment are awful, along with their audience. I’m sure people would say “demorcats are as bad” or “they’re all (neo) liberals) but what passes for the left in the US is in fact not nearly as horrible as the right here.

What’s the actual problem then? You can’t name it either? Anyway, I’m not sure how you got from my post that I think the only issue with the US is this one specific degenerate.

Eventually the discussion came around to one basic question: Is Trump a reliable ally?

Why would anyone be wondering that? Of course he is not. Republicans and especially Tr*mp have made their views on Ukraine well known for quite a while now. This can’t realistically be a surprise to anyone.

Do I start out in the same conditions or take a whole new roll of the dice?

They’re mechanically secured, of course. I don’t see why they’d need locks though.

I just had a dream where I used a laptop. I was on the phone with someone and had AirPods, but don’t remember seeing the phone.

They get manipulated about and distracted by certain issues. The people who want power know this and exploit topics such as guns, abortion, fear of crime, racism/nationalism, sexism, economic issues and taxes. Plenty of people vote republican because they have been convinced that Democrats will take their guns, allow in too many immigrants (with the implicit idea that immigrants are bad somehow), be worse on the economy, raise taxes, let criminals get off easy, reduce the influence of Christianity, and so forth.

There’s also the decades of propaganda about socialism and communism, and against social safety nets as well as government and anything run by the government vs a private entity. So basically, because they’re not very aware or well informed and all themselves to be convinced by propaganda.

Maybe they should have done this about a year ago.

I assume if they’re investigating or vetting anything it’s: will they be loyal to Trump? Anything good to hang on to as blackmail or extortion material?

That’s how Facebook went for me the last time I tried to use it with a new account… I was immediately swamped with friend requests from people in western and central Africa. I accepted some out of curiosity so of course FB decided that’s what I was really into. I’m not sure if these people just send out random requests or why they want to add Americans… I didn’t get hit up for scams or anything, it was just people posting and sharing photos of their lives as normal FB users.

Sounds like BitTorrent, too

The only person who can stop WW3 and also “save the country”, which according to him is a smoking husk.

He really is a remarkably stupid person.

Maybe! Idk, I used to like mock duck. Soy based lunch meat is pretty good too. Alas, I’ll never be able to try this company’s stuff as it all has wheat in it.

Apparently this is a soy and wheat gluten loaf and is made in the Phillipines.

Because of how filesystems work. There’s basically an index that tells the OS what files are stored where on the disk. The quickest way of deletion simply removes the entry in that table. The data is still there, though. So a data recovery program would read the entire disk and try to rebuild the file allocation table or whatever by detecting the beginning and ends of files. This worked better on mechanical drives than SSDs.
