DOGE has access to nuclear codes DOGE has access to all medical records DOGE has access to everything

And we should know that we expected Musk to have access to everything because Trump allows it. But, they're allowing a 19-year old, with connections to hacker groups, with access.

The whole discipline of not sharing information online is practically moot at this point. How can we trust that this kid won't be sharing this kind of information to his connections?

Yeah but who the hell is going to step up and actually try to stop him? The populace is divided as ever, they can't come together to agree that one guy's totalitarian nature is destroying their livelihoods in all political fields.

Foreign nations are starting to realize that they may well just be on their own because Trump can't give a single shit to support or engage in peaceful negotiations.

All republican branches of government are bootlickers who say bold things but will not budge.

Congress seems to just sit there.

Democrats seem to only just shout things and threaten authority but to someone who has proven to not address or even acknowledge authority, what good would that all do?

Distractions. You need a lot of them. Good company. Good hobbies. Something.

It is never a great idea to let your mind wander off for too long, because it'll go places you wouldn't want it to and you'll sometimes just be held down by it.

Hangers with those hooks on the sides that I guess are meant to slip the collar of the shirts into? They don't really serve as a good use plus they seem to get tangled with other hangers at times and hang securely anyways. I've seen better hangers at work where there is a strip of some rubber compound on the top sides of each hanger, they hold things much better and I feel that's the more better of the design for a hanger.

I would inform potential dates that there really isn't going to be a family for them to meet and that I am probably the last representative of that family. If they ask me if they're going to have a father-in-law or a mother-in-law, I would tell them it is probably in title only.

The goal is to spare your dates or would-be newlyweds from getting involved with what drama or dysfunctionality your family has gone through. You are doing your date a huge favor.

When phones got developed so much, you can virtually do half of the things on them as you would a laptop.

It sounded like you didn't see what the point things were when they arrived around your time. But I can tell you, the passing 90s and 2000s just straight shot technology faster than we can comprehend.

I see you've asked this very thing and it didn't go over well for you in the other instance.

America is not entirely immune from the problems you've seen in Europe. Different continents, different sets of problems. America's problem is how it takes any and every chance it has had, to be a more prosperious country and pisses it away by allowing very few rich people and corporations take it entirely over.

And it is at the expense of the populace. What's there to be grateful for when YOUR country is the one offering free healthcare, when America has pressurized it's people in a 'pay or die' situation?

I'm believing it's all just a pipe dream now. People are just simply more talk than action. The people who are taking action, are all the wrong people to be taking action. I'm talking the pardoned Jan 6 rioters who've been re-arrested again for surprise - being the criminals that they are.

Everyone else is either too scared, too knee deep in commitments, misguided, misinformed, tucked in corners somewhere and just lacking the energy.

"Completely tried sabotaging mail-in ballots, slowed things down, didn't pay attention to the intimidation that postmen have dealt with, mail got trashed and I didn't care for that either. Now that I ensured my master has gotten another term, I've done did a good job!"

At first it's like "Yay! Fucking finally"

Then you realize it's another Trump Administration and now it's like "Well...fuck, they'll just find someone shittier and kill the USPS for good now"
