Strangely the right to life crowd really loves killing people. However I do think it is unfair to label them as anti-muslim, because the also love killing children, women, the poor… Basically anyone who is not rich and male.

Everyone knows the classic CHiPs style police bike from TV and movies. The white front fender and gas tank kind of evokes that memory.

Technically you are correct, but only if we completely ignore the context in which it was said.

I think you are grossly overestimating the audience of this author. They are a “self published” author whose books are free and not read by many people.
If anything, she will see a massive spike in readers just because of curious people checking her out.

20? Wow. Someone is optimistic.

But your taxes don’t scale with the alleged value of the property either. There are caps and protections in place. That’s why they were only paying $15k previously. And they didn’t just repair their old house, they put an entire second story on it. Hence the reason they triggered the “major improvements” clause.

I think I understand propaganda well enough. I think you underestimate people’s intelligence and misunderstand how propaganda affects people. In your own story of dealing with propaganda, when confronted with conflicting information, you realized your error, or were at least open to learning more. Or is it that you feel that you are so much smarter than the average conservative that they are just helpless compared to you? You are correct that they are full of fear and anger, but I don’t believe it was something that just happened to them without them being able to do anything about it.

Also, not fascist? He straight out said he wanted to be a dictator, he praised Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un and, Hungary’s authoritarian leader, Viktor Orban.

And as for his first term, even if we pretend that his policies and actions didn’t significantly worsen the spread of Covid, and wipe Covid from the slate, his presidency was still a nonstop shit show that separated children from their parents for cruelty’s sake, got service men and allies killed, exposed, got tortured, and got murdered a significant part of our foreign intelligence gathering community. And that is just skimming the top and pulling out the easy stuff.

You are correct, they aren’t Nazis, not even close. But they are full of hate. Enough hate that they would prefer to be thought of as stupid, or easily fooled rather than admit why they chose to vote for someone who who is an open fascist, “admirers” Nazi generals, and was best friends with a pedophile. Trump is not some unknown. He has was not only president before, but his presidency was was disastrous and he exited with the worst polls of any president ever. They knew exactly what they were getting. They weren’t fooled. They weren’t conned or hoodwinked. They didn’t even lack for choice. There were plenty of other little fascist wanna bees running around trying to get elected.
Stop infantilizing grown adults. If they “didn’t know what they were getting” it is because they chose not to know. They purposely chose someone that they knew would hurt them because they expect him to hurt the people that they hate more.

It sounds like you are not in the US, so the best I can do is give you some suggestions that are available to me and hopefully they are not too far off for you…
A small 5000btu window AC are really cheap here, and are typically less than 40lbs (18kg). So you probably won’t want to pull it out of the window daily, but you could probably lug it into position at the beginning of the season, and then take it out at the end of the season.
Portable ACs typically cost a bit more but are much more mobile. They are typically heavier than comparable window ACs, but they are on wheels and the exhaust tube is light and can be put in taken out of the window on demand. Ones with both an intake and exhaust tube are much more efficient, but they are a lot harder to find (at least around here) and more expensive. The ones with just an exhaust tube do work though, however you should judge it’s cooling by half of whatever it says. So if it says it is a 10,000 BTU then it will perform more like a 5000 BTU. If you wrap the hot exhaust tube in a blanket or some other form of insulation you will see a significant improvement in cooling. Also the exhaust tubes are only about 5 to 6 inches (130-150mm) in diameter, so they can be routed through holes holes smaller than windows. On the side of my garage there’s a hole in the brick where they routed wires and other stuff to the exterior. I was able to cut a hole in the sheetrock on the inside of my garage directly opposite of that hole through the brick. I was then able to route the exhaust from my portable AC through that hole and it blows out through theme opening in the brick. Or maybe you could have the portable AC tube routed to an exhaust in another room but have the AC positioned to blow into your office Despite what others have said swamp coolers do work, even somewhere like where I live where the typical humidity outside is 75 to 95%. But the higher humidity the less positive effect they have. So they definitely fall into the “better than nothing” category. And of course the big downside is it is going to increase the humidity. If your windows are closed, that could cause problems. But my guess is that you have your windows open, so a lot of the humidity is going to make its way out with normal breezes anyways.
If all else fails Matthias has a great video on how to best position a fan to get the most airflow out a window.

Dehumidifiers are air-conditioners… Like literally. So, you would be running a swamp cooler to cool the room by adding humidity, but because dehumidifiers produce excess heat, you would then be adding heat to dehumidify…

I could see him doing that, but I think it would go more like this… https://youtu.be/saY10AWXLIY?start=34

I think they compared transphobic people to vegans.
Trans people were compared to hamburgers… but you know, not fastfood hamburgers. More like really good burgers. You know, like where their buns are toasted and slathered with avocado. Maybe topped with grilled onions, and then you slide a piece of bacon in there, you know? And then you just shove it right in your face.
And then after, they can both go for burgers…

Because no one benefits from forcing people who can’t pay to pay anyway. It only harms everyone involved and costs tax payers way more than we will ever be able to claw back.
For an administration who is making cuts everywhere under the guise of “saving” money, it just shows that cruelty is the real point and not saving.

You must forgive them young Padawan, they still have fucks to give, or have only recently run out. They are still concerned with the “knowing” of things. It is only once you reach a severe and immeasurable deficit of fucks that you can completely let go of your personal pride and ego enough to admit that this shit is fucking ridiculous and you might as well just let Google/AI remember it for you.

This 100%. I already have to remember to change my voice between work and personal communication, I don’t need yet another personality to accidentally send to someone that could fuck up my entire life.

Wait, so I wasn’t supposed to punch that guy in the janitors uniform in the dick just because he said Intuit (turns out he was saying “into it”)?

Dude, there are at least 4 different “for” loop syntaxes in Js/Ts alone:

for (let num = 1; num <= 5; num++) {}.

for (const num of numbers) {}.

for (const num in numbers) {}.

this.numbers].forEach(num => {});

Also don’t forget ngFor and @for in html, and then the @for in sass/scss.

That’s 7 different for loops and I haven’t included the non-for loops, or even left Angular.

Once we include some scripting like I did just this week:

bash: for i in {1…5}: do … done

dos: for /L %%i in (1,1,5) do ()

Then you can just stfu if I feel the need to remind myself of the exact syntax for one of the 3 or 4 different for loop options in c#.

As a senior programmer I can’t write a for loop without the internet.
I can’t remember the last time I saw a job listing that didn’t expect me to be an expert in at least 5 languages. The best part is that halfway through the interview you learn that they are no longer using half the languages listed, and are “transitioning” towards 2 others that aren’t even listed. You want me to whip out examples written in Fortran, C++, Rust, JS, and some random word you claim is a language in 2 hrs without the internet? Bitch, I don’t even think I could get prewritten “Hello World” examples compiled in 5 different languages in 2 hrs, much less on machine that I have never seen before.

The people of Uvalde reelected the sheriff that let all those elementary students be murdered and tortured.

If it’s a Tesla truck, I guess I could splash it with half a Dixie cup full of water…
