You wish it only had the same level of approval as under Biden. Don't worry. Reality will teach some harsh lessons soon.

Better get used to it. It's nothing but 'USA Approved' for the next 4 years.

I can't wait to hear your weeping when the Trump backed MIC starts shovelling weapons to Israel, awards Netanyahu with the Medal of Freedom, and vetos any Israeli conviction by the ICC.

When both Gaza and the WB are completely annexed and Trump congratulates Netanyahu for a job well done while violently suppressing any US protests, I'm sure you'll admit your refusing to vote for Harris was a great idea.

I don't think you truly appreciate the shit storm that is coming your way. Because of you and your compatriots refusal to vote Dem Trump "will be a dictator on day one". 13-20 million 'illegal' immigrants are promised to be deported. It is now possible anyone protesting, or even daring to speak out on social media (they'll even look here I'm sure) against Israel's actions will be included in that number. If I were you I'd get my licks in while I could, but use a VPN while doing it if it isn't too late already.

It's looking like the whole of US government is going to be majority Red through and through. That means any bill, including one for the formation of HUAC 2.0 gets rammed through. Oh well, at least you'll have self-righteousness to console you going through whatever happens after January.

And so it begins. GG 3rd party protest voters. Prepare to witness the consequences of your myopia.

Laugh and change their rep to hostile

Depends how much it snows and how cold it gets. Much of this may sound over-cautious if your winters are mild.

  • Most cities/towns have by-laws regulating property owners clear and rock-salt their walkways within a set amount of time after snow has ceased falling,

  • If you use a shovel, get an ergonomic one. It is very easy to hurt your back clearing snow. No matter how long you wait, the plow always comes AFTER you've cleared your driveway,

  • If you have kids, get into the routine of checking local news for 'snow days', or in other words the schools have announced they are closed due to poor road conditions,


If you drive:

  • Wiper fluid needs to be swapped out for winter fluid or it may freeze in the reservoir,

  • Get a windshield ice-scraper/brush,

  • Your vehicle should have a good emergency kit including first aid, a candle/matches, and blanket in case you get stuck in the boonies during a winter storm,

  • Expect black-ice and snow drifts while driving. Both love to cause you to lose control. Rain freezing on the trees, while absolutely gorgeous, is a sign to take the day off work to avoid driving,

  • If it gets really cold and/or you're in an area with high seasonal precipitation you'll want to have a vehicle that is equipped with a block heater (if it is gas combustion engine ofc), and have an extra set of winter tires (sometimes a legislated requirement too) to change for the season.


  • Keep an eye on your (and I guess your neighbours if you want to be helpful) house' roof and make sure the snow doesn't build up too much as this can cause damage/leaks/collapses if it gets too heavy

48-page report urges FTC, FCC to investigate connected TV industry data harvesting.

The companies behind the streaming industry, including smart TV and streaming stick manufacturers and streaming service providers, have developed a "surveillance system" that has "long undermined privacy and consumer protection," according to a report from the Center for Digital Democracy (CDD) published today and sent to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Unprecedented tracking techniques aimed at pleasing advertisers have resulted in connected TVs (CTVs) being a "privacy nightmare," according to Jeffrey Chester, report co-author and CDD executive director, resulting in calls for stronger regulation.
