       I’m not sure, but it seems like this might be illegal… Certainly seems very “voter suppressionist“. #gop #suppressTheVote #usPol #Trump

       @futurebird All we wanted to do was come for a visit… how did we know we wouldn’t make it out in time?  I guess them’s the breaks.

       In case you missed it with yesterday’s breathless news of the Reichstag Fire attempt at the golf course:“JD Vance admits to making up lies about pet-eating Haitian immigrants.”#JDVance #Trump #USPol #Elections #EatingPets #StochasticTerrorism

       Here's the MAGA guy that shot up the Dem HQ in Az.  He had 120 firearms, including fully automatic weapons and a freaking grenade launcher. And a quarter million rounds of ammo. Was apparently planning a "mass casualty event". But, you know, sporting and self defense. https://www.azfamily.com/2024/10/23/man-behind-phoenix-area-political-threats-had-huge-stash-guns-ammo-police-say/#Trump #2A #USPol #Guns #PoliticalViolence #Arizona #MAGA #Election #HarrisWalz2024

       @futurebird Switching from QUERTY to Dvorak layout (many years ago) was an interesting experience. For about three months, it was all I could do to think about the next character, where is it in the new keyboard map, and type it. Productivity approached zero. After those three months, I was finally able to type full words again, if slowly. After six months I had caught up and surpassed my QUERTY touch typing ability. For a short time I had temporary stickies on the keys. But I no longer pay any attention to what the keys themselves have written on them. Oddly enough, I still use the QUERTY layout when typing on my phone. Apparently it’s a different set of brain cells that control my thumbs. 😄

       @Nonilex This is exactly where we are right now. Our son turns 26 next month. After high school, he worked and went to community college part time as he figured out what he wanted to do with his life. Now, he’s starting his senior year at university here in Texas, but drops off our insurance in a month. There seem to be no good options. He doesn’t have a job since he’s in school full time, so he doesn’t make enough to quality for Medicaid. COBRA insurance is available, but the cost is more for him as a single individual than it is for the rest of our family. Tying (affordable) health care to employment is one way those in power perpetuate a “wage slavery” society. And for those without jobs that will provide health care benefits, there is no viable fallback option at all.I’m beside myself with frustration, trying to help him figure out a possibility that will at least allow him to continue to get dental and wellness medical care and cover catastrophic potential events while he finishes school and tries to find a job.#HealthCare #law #AffordableCareAct #ACA #HealthInsurance #CultureOfDeath
