I’m honestly burnt after tonight. I’m stun locked at the number of fellow Americans that voted for this shit stain. I’m turning off politics, dc’ing from socials, and restricting txts.

Need to sleep, then regather what to do tomorrow and for the future. Maybe use all of my banked time off.

Band or label probably revoked streaming rights on Google Music.

The interview was interesting and glad candidates are willing to go into these hostile territories even if the conversation falls on deaf ears. For me, I was never undecided. I am voting Democrat.

What I want to know: will a Kamala-Walz adminstration have a unified house and senate to push this country forward (getting Roe v Wade codified to start)? All of this focus/media attention on the presidential elections but we need to flip seats.

What’s the temperature across the country right now?

Seems pp rolled this “feature” out to USA only due to our lax regulations on privacy. Another user (in Canada) pointed out the option was not seen in Profile & Data

I updated title, thanks

Page mentions “Notice of Amendment(s) to the United States PayPal Agreement(s)”. So it’s likely US only (for now).

If you don’t see the “Data and Privacy” option to opt out on their website or app. Then it’s likely they are not sharing your data, yet.

US has been playing catch up for decades. FedNow was implemented in 2023 to allow instant P2P payments between banks thereby eliminating the need for PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, et al.

It will take some time before we see banks make this fully available to everyone and subsequently merchants using it.

Diversion tactic. Promote political discourse discord in US so Russia can continue their atrocities in Ukraine

What is everyone’s temperature about the situation here? I have never lived in a hurricane prone area like Florida.

If I was basing it completely on national coverage, I am getting the impression that any region in the path of the Milton will get flattened by sudden sea rise. Even the AP article paints a grim picture:

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A steady rain fell in the Tampa Bay area Wednesday morning as a mighty Hurricane Milton churned toward a potentially catastrophic collision with the west coast of Florida, where some residents insisted they would stay even after millions were ordered to evacuate. Stragglers face grim odds of surviving, officials said

However, looking into it more and trying to be less emotional. Florida’s emergency management system is issuing evacuation orders for many counties in Milton’s path. But some “inland” counties like Polk have no evacuation orders despite adjacent county, Hillsborough, having mandatory evacuation orders [1].

Then if you navigate to the county level (ie, Hillsborough). Only specific zones were issued mandatory evacuation. At this time, residents of Hillsborough county in zones “A” and “B” (and all mobile homes) given mandatory evacuation. People in other zones advised it was optional [2].

What did we observe with Helene? Were these local government evacuation orders completely wrong and devastated areas that previously had optional evacuation?

Where do you think the FBI gets their domestic terrorist intel from 😂

Hotter than the surface of the sun by a factor of ~18000.

Hotter than the suns core by a factor of ~7.

People talk about Icarus flying too close to the sun. Motherfuckers are recreating it in labs 😂

Every generation thinks this. Yet adults continue to setup children for failure expecting them to clean up their mess.

No fuck that. Let’s start now and fix issues — climate change, racial disparity, gender wage gap, re-secure abortion rights, housing shortage.

These can be solved long before our children are born. We just refuse to do anything. Governments sit on their ass while O&G pollutes the planet. People refuse to change their lifestyles and accept change is needed (ie, change from inefficient car centric transportation and suburban sprawl in USA, widening highways). With AI making strides towards making a large portion of population jobless, universal basic income needs to be discussed. Investing in the people through more support programs and lifting people out of poverty. Healthcare for all.

We can’t even get this basic shit right. What makes you think children in the future will? Generations of today were setup for failure. Generations of tomorrow are set up for failure.

Tragic way to die. I wouldn’t wish this even on my worst enemies.

We all watch the videos of how to deal with this exact situation but in reality only a few people would be able to react accordingly to save themselves.

The article describes the area of water as a “pond” but the vehicle was fully submerged. Rescuers had trouble with rescue attempts due to the depth. Seems more like a lake to me.

I have been making contributions to the sub I created. Posts occasionally reach the fp with some upvotes and comments.

Just need to sneak in this code

if (facialMatch(elon)) { haltAndCatchFire(); }

Counter point: If I didn’t hear how badly he runs his businesses, or how bad his company’s products are. I would have easily bought one or more of his products.

I have backed out of Tesla pre-orders because of the bad publicity, many reports of bad build quality, and terrible business decisions.

If this was a puff piece, I honestly wouldn’t have bothered posting it.

If you want to get away with murder in the USA, use a car to kill your victim.

I love this. No more “blue checkmarks” or paid verification processes. Just check the domain of the post(s) to confirm they are legit.
