    @Steve-Miller Didn't think of that. Also a possibility.

    Well, perhaps Polis can ceremoniously light a bonfire in front of the capitol and toss the offending picture on as a sacrifice!

    At least Elon Musk is stepping down. Or pretending to as some would have it. Him with his chainsaw. A South African Nazi. Not a metaphor. I used to find him annoying. Now I see him as the personification of a nightmare.

    Among the many problems, one is the involvement of private, for-profit companies. they worked for GEO, the private company contracted to run the facility, and not Ice, the government body that would decide her fate. while the private companies who own the facilities are run for profit, there’s no incentive to get people out quickly Also please don't quote this post, I'll be editing it soon.

    Lol! No, I ended up with a pile of parts. I couldn't put them back together. I knew the watch would be ruined by my experiment. It was the kind of watch aimed at office workers before the quartz revolution and cellphones. It was a watch for collectors by the time I bought it. It wasn't an expensive IWC like the ones now.

    Meaningless votes that meant nothing? Schumer could have put a wrench in this disaster but the Party has become a nihilistic disaster in and of itself.

    My phone just asked me to set up a biometric identification i.e. fingerprint by pressing the power key. Except every time I did the Google messenger pop up blocked the UN started fingerprint. So today I'm locked out of Google Play. I wanted a note application. I also looked up my phone's specs and even though it has a new 5000 x battery my most important criterion, it has an LCD not an OLED display. I should have looked up the specs before I bought it. I guess the price was right (299) and I was in a panic having no phone with my phone lost. No, don't buy this phone. I don't regret it exactly but I'd be lying if I said I liked it. It's software interface is nothing short of bizarre and I have to live with my mistake if choosing an LCD screen. I hope this phone's battery lasts more than the last one's becoming very, very fast draining in only two years. I don't want to go through any of this again soon.

    I like these melted cheese emojis. They remind me of the Japanese character Gudetama, the Lazy Egg: [image: 1743853536355-3b0799fa-60f2-465c-bf80-c594297ebc38-image.png]

    He’s great, I always love his expressionless face during the shenanigans. I wonder how he did the Jedi ones. Maybe he wore a green body suit with green gloves?
