Let's start with this: murdering people is bad.

That being said, if someone is determined to murder people for infamy and attention, let's give all the attention we can to those who kill parasite CEOs while saying nothing about those who kill random civilians and children.

Peope can't just say "I don't like the weather" and leave.

Wednesday things like housing, Healthcare, and food, which depend on jobs. And those can be very difficult to find in a new place.

I work in municipal employee and an expert in Texas development regulations. If I leave Texas, I lose most of my value as an employee.

Most Americans buy a lot of groceries at once because most Americans don't have quick access to grocery stores, and buying smaller portions of groceries costs a fortune.

I can buy a week's worth of groceries for a family of 4 for about the price of 10 days of groceries for one person. But it requires being able to haul a lot more than can fit on a bike. And for many of us, the store is also a long way away with no public transit and in a place where the temperature may be lethally hot for months at a time.

Kung Fu Hustle is Kung Pow, but good.

Trump literally asked Zelensky for half of all of Ukraine's mineral resources.

Good thing they won't need to bring back a bunch of groceries.

I wish.

We would much prefer you walk into the woods and scream where nobody can hear you.

I think that actually was a plot in a MacGyver TV movie I vaguely remember from the 90s.

46% of those who voted.

Lots of things like grey hair, moving more slowly, injuries that I would have bounced away from before instead hurting for weeks or months.

But the one that hit hardest was a breakup I had a little while back. She was the love of my life and I fully intended to marry her, and when she ended it out of nowhere I was sad, but fine. She dumped me, and it sucked, but I also needed to finish a staff report for a Planning and Zoning Commission meeting that night. So I moved on.

The thing that upset me most was that I wasn't that upset. There was a time in my life when I would have been a mess. But as I've aged, my emotions have become more regulated.

I miss being capable of that level of joy and pain.

That's greater than the percentage of Americans who voted for Trump in the 2024 election.

That could fit with the film.

"Why do we have all these IT people? All the tech works fine!"

The suit should be by an American cartography company over the proper US Board on Geographic Names's official process not being followed for the name change.

I'm actually submitting a name change to the board through the official process. But since the USGS added a bit to the process saying that resetablishing historical names isn't a reason for a name change, I'm going to recommend it be changed to "The Gulf," since it meets all criteria for a name change - most importantly that it be a name in common usage by locals. Lots of people refer to it as "The Gulf," while "Gulf of America" isn't in common usage.

The most we can do outside of lawsuits is at least try to take the "America" part away.

I think it was people trying to make the weird trendy.

He doesn't deny the holocaust. He sees it as a good idea.

Thanks for following up on my comment with the most important link!

In my submittal, my reasoning also included the fact that the change to "Gulf of America" didn't follow the official process.

The place to protest this isn't Google.

We need to have everyone propose a name change to the official body in charge of place names, the US Board on Geographic Names.

Unfortunately, one of the rules on name changes is "Changing a name merely to correct or re-establish historical usage is not in and of itself a reason to change a name."

On the other hand, they also say "The most important consideration is local use and acceptance," so the sooner we act, the better.

They disarmed themselves by villifying gun owners. As a result, 90% of guns are owned by the fascist party.

Also - state and city-level restrictions absolutely affected gun owners. New York City was enforcing a law that made it illegal to transport a licensed, unloaded handgun in a secured container across city limits. They withdrew the law right before the Supreme Court heard the case specifically so they could kill the case and renew the law.
