Smaller roads and walkable cities

That is definitely the dream

From the u.s. and I lived in Germany for a year. It was the trains and the castles and the history that had me wanting to stay. That stuff is probably boring to you. Your concerns about artificiality are valid. But I did not feel like Germany was massively different. I had more cultural shock from moving to a small town in West Virginia than Germany.

best bet for your home theater PC is STILL old computer parts with high capacity storage

Also still waiting for you to realize

Yes but it’s all very dumb and made up, and I think they should just call her princess because I’m doubling down on a pointless opinion about pointless subject

No, it wasn’t a direct comparison of government systems. I’m not here for the political theory. Perhaps I should have checked in with you personally before I shitposted about the silliness of monarchies.

No I did, doesn’t change anything except exaggerate my dismay. Trump and the ivy leagues and the princesses can all just go away

Would that I could control what I worry about including the governments of faraway lands. Also did I mention monarchies are very silly? I will still laugh at them as I weep at the tragedies here a at home

I get that. I still think it’s ridiculous. Not that echewing monarchy has done so well in the u.s. either.

My partner had to get a tiny one just to locate the details

Future queen I guess means she is a princess. Just say that. I did not know Belgium still has vestiges of monarchy. That does put a damper on the judgment from Europe over the U.S. having Trump. Also can’t forget Leopold. Fuck that guy

style errors are easily forgiven. study a foreign language or a programming language to get some empathy

suspending habeas corpus? he should be in so many heaps of trouble. the guillotine was a nasty, evil piece of work, and anyways

kinda low on the list of bad guys. the whole Kennedy family though? JFK’s dad lobotomized his own daughter because she was problematic. deeply evil clan, that one.

incompetence and no ethics can still make money

i don’t have a bathtub for making gin, much less sythnesizing unwise experiments. could deffo do some weirdness with fishtanks and fungi. though i’m still traumatized from clumsily breaking my 20-gallon tank when I was 13. i’ve irrationally hated pet stores ever since.

i usually press win+r and type ‘calc’ or ‘cmd’. they could make that more efficient by assigning binary numbers to everything.

Henry Rollins has a story about how he liked going to William Shatner’s christmas parties, I mean I guess somebody went, sure, but one year he got there and recognized Limbaugh’s voice from afar, and noped the fuck out, like he did not trust himself to deal with that guy in a civilized manner.

Oregon voters passed a referendum few years ago supposedly along the same lines and now they’re all mad. i don’t know the details but my best guess is bad law and bad implementation.

ya’ll are weird this is how i get income i have an offshore account teeming with crypto from my two-factor homey just gotta take a shit over there in that bush right now
