I'm so happy the lines are converging for me, my age is finally starting to catch up to my hair line and color

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, what do you mean her opinions? A real tradwife doesn't have opinions, she thinks what her husband tells her to think and does what her husband tells her to do.

I don't think that's right, I'm terrible at games but I still respect women (enough to spare them from interacting with me whenever possible. Same goes for all people really)

Moakley, when his balls touch the water

That's a golden shower. The golden rule is that it's not gay when it's in a 3 way

I've heard worse

I'm too lazy to keep things organized, does that get me out of autism?

Is it a cultural difference with Europe (and other parts of the world) to not go in the streets?

Yes, the American culture of rugged individualism instead of collectivism is certainly a factor here. It's not like it's entirely unheard of here in the USA to have large protests (look at what happened with the killing of George Floyd) but for systemic issues, it doesn't generally get people in the streets, I think at least partly because there's so many we've put up with for so long.

There's also American Exceptionalism making us less introspective and self-critical of our systems of governance and economics compared to the rest of the world, and so people tend to just accept it as "well it's the best there is" without considering how it could be better. There's also the economics of it where we have less or no time off from work to get out for such events.

Are those occurring but the medias do not inform us on it?

There are protests happening but there does seem to be, putting it charitably, a lack of interest to report on such things, and the protests that are happening don't seem to be happening at a large enough scale to make a difference.

My mom frequently expresses surprise that more isn't being done to suppress the protests that are happening, I think it's because they're not afraid of the protests escalating into larger action, and so actively suppressing them would actually do more to raise the profile of the protests that are happening and fuel the flames, whereas you just get the media not to report on it that much and let it die out on its own.

Are people scared to protest?

Yes, I imagine plenty are, especially those who may be targeted by ICE or have friends/family who may be targeted by ICE.

Or, people just don’t care or are even, in majority, happy with what happens now?

To an extent, yes. I don't know if I'd say that the majority are happy with the things happening, but a majority are probably okay with it, or just going along in ignorance (willful or otherwise), or too busy or tired just trying to survive rather than make things better. There are many people who don't care until they are directly and severely impacted with the consequences of their choices, and even that isn't enough to change some people's minds.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "in between" here (between 2.4 and 5 GHz?), but commercial radio in the US is at much lower frequencies than wifi bands. AM radio is typically measured in KHz (the range is something like 600-1400, I can't be bothered to look it up), while FM radio is in MHz (around 87-108 MHz).

I use 12 sided d4s, they're fantastic. I wish more metal dice sets would embrace non-pyramid shaped d4s (really all dice types in general I just prefer the heft of metal dice)

"Soon"

But then the next thing I'd know I'd have to get up and get ready for work, gotta squeeze in as much day as I can before that happens

"We have always been at war with Eastasia Democrats."

I never thought about it before, but now that you mention it, I have never seen Sonic and Barry Allen together in the same room at the same time

IANA science person or wind expert, but I would test what effect removing/disabling the bottom intake has. Right now it could be pushing fresh air up and diverting it somewhat before it gets to the GPU intake (hard to say for sure based on just the 1 photo)

Decentralized relationship networks are the future
