Just FYI, it's "ulterior". It's one of the weird ones.

Like true Libertarianism, this assumes that people will be perfect, altruistic and cooperative.

They won't be. Eventually (quickly) someone will become a cult of personality or a bully and seize power.

See: America 2016/2024.

If Trump were working a glory hole you'd have people accusing you of abusing the mentally handicapped. Not even joking.

I bought mine here but there are other places that restore them.

I actually use caps lock fairly regularly as a embedded systems programmer. With my large hands CTRL-ESC is pretty easy for me.

This is 100% accurate.

They wouldn't take it up if they were going to rule against him.

I'm happy as a clam with my 1984 loud as fuck IBM Model M keyboard in Windows.

Think you need a Windows key? CTRL-ESC. I use CTRL-ESC even on modern keyboards.

I'm a pretty savvy American that has been to Europe many times and I've never heard of Carrefore.

If I said Kroger or Safeway, you'd probably not know that they were grocery store chains here.

They mostly come out at night. Mostly.

I too, second a bidet. Especially a heated water bidet.

My wife and I love ours. We've been having our home remodeled and have been hopping through AB&Bs. We've missed it a lot.

Lawd of the Wings

Same. I have no idea who he is.

Cunk on the Last Supper

Well the hypocrisy is the worst part.

Last few lines of that episode were ad libbed by Hugh Laurie: "You know how it is with nuns. Take out their IUD and they bounce right back."

Screw pulling it out. I want to know how it got there.

I, myself, am a lifelong Republican that left the party when Trump became the nominee. He was so clearly and obviously self-serving, stupid and disgusting that I could not, and still cannot, imagine why anyone would vote for him or want him as their leader. And yet I watched Fox News praise his bumbling, rambling debates with Hillary Clinton and stood dumbfounded as to how we could have seen the same performance.

When Trump got the nomination I was simply done. Something flipped in my mind; Joe Biden became the first Democrat that I'd ever voted for since having first voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984 at the age of 20.

However, I was and am socially liberal. I have always been pro-abortion, pro-legalization, pro self. Technically i was more of a small-L conservative libertarian, but my Voter ID card says Republican. I've read all of Ayn Rand's books. I have a signed first edition hardback of Atlas Shrugged: a birthday gift from my mother.

I will vote for Biden again, although with reservations about voting for someone who will be 82 at the beginning of their term and with no desire to experience a President Harris. Although doing so here in Oklahoma is pointless other than to show other Oklahomans that it can be done. It's a very red state that isn't likely to flip anytime soon.

My corporate bank requires their management to take at least one two-week vacation a year so that any schemes they might have running fall apart.

Look we don't know what that's about. I've known crazy girls that would do that kind of thing over "You told me you liked them, but then you told your mom you didn't like my brussel sprouts."
