The All Things Political Thread (One thread to rule them all and in the darkness bind them)
What do I have to do to get someone to cover my mortgage? Not to rub it into the bootstrapless of the world, I sincerely pity the magestic's and KP's of our world, but its my single largest monthly bill and I would very very much like to not have to pay it anymore. Its unfair that homes in my area cost <$something$> and its another of my inalienable rights to be provided a home to rest my weary bones. We need some Universal Free Housing up in here.

"squee squee gimmie everything free" See! This is why I need UHC and UBI. I cant possibly be expected to care for myself and family and its totes unfair that fatcats arent financing my life.

My jaw would be suitable slack if they somehow flew them across the Pacific to harass destroyers off the California coast, but I doubt it. But I cant give a hard no either. Maybe you will find out soon? China affirms strong Serbia ties on defense tour of east Europe. But judging from their long flight time and ability to swarm and navigate in poor weather (AI?), I think its a local job.

China cant figure out 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen without stealing the plans first, but they do have economics of scale.

I agree, I hope theyre our too. Just in case you havent seen the technology yet, the X-59 is designed to fly at supersonic speeds while producing little to no sonic boom. I dont think this it what were seeing in the various UFO videos that the military has released, but kinda cool. Multiple Destroyers Were Swarmed By Mysterious 'Drones' Off California Over Numerous Nights. Due to the location and incredible performance of the drones, these are almost certainly ours. Maybe operating completely on AI? Otherwise, wtf, dont our ships have radio jammers?

^Imo, the military is at least a generation ahead of civilian in relation to technology, so they are all of terrestrial origin and are simply advanced technology. A different topic, but my mind is blown to realize that the Suez Canal has earthen banks instead of concrete! Also no land tugs or anything? Ships are just "free sailing" through there? Madness! That would be a great place to sink a full cargo ship and really booger things up for a while.

What You've Done Today - As the World Turns
Hmm, ultimately I dont think its illegal since youre the intended recipient. But if I were ever in that situation I would ring/knock on the door before taking it. If they didnt answer, see ya later. Everyone around here has a Ring doorbell so I wouldnt want to look shady.

I recently had a misdelivery too. I had ordered a new router from Comcast and one day later I received a text that it had been delivered. Checked the front door, garage door, walked completely around the house...nothing. Then two days later at 0600 I see the package at the front door! WTF?!?! It wasnt there when I went to bed. I notice these little footsteps in the snow leading to my front door and I follow them back, turns out my neighbor received the package and had just noticed and brought it to me. Aside, Comcast "self install" is easy peasy.

If the government can provide me those three things then you can put a ushanka on me and call me comrade. I only need the US to exist for another ~65 years and it would be awesome to have those bags.

Thats a shame. Im totally down for giving it a try though. The fact that my income bracket would not be subject to massive increases, combined with my inalienable birthrights of UHC, UFE and UBI, means that I can only benefit from taxing those fatcats until they pay whats due to me.

I think this is important. Theres probably more unregistered weapons in the Chicagoland area than there is registered ones in the SA Army. But it would be interesting discussion to know how they make it from the manufacturer -> black market.

Serious question; how do you prove that you "are not a maniac" and do other countries include a "sanity test" of some sort before selling guns to people? I mean, we already have age, criminal record background checks and a "cooling off period", but how do you determine if someone "is a maniac"? Also, how many times is too many to put "words in quotes"?

Zach Snyder's Justice League Wow what a difference. Much much better than the original, though it did take me two settings to get through it.

I wouldnt even know how to act as a single person. A "humor" site I like to visit, theChive (be careful rated PG), has a category specifically for Tinder profiles that make my eyes pop.
