So, is Bob's Boat Oars hiring?

Until a Trekkie walks into a school or supermarket and kills a bunch of folks with his cosplay tricorder, it's not fandom. It's violent insecurity and idiocy masquerading as bravery.

Downloaded, used an empty home for the address, selected The Satanic Temple as my church, deleted the app, and gave it one star. Took 5 minutes.

That's probably a good thing, though.

SA is anti-LGBTQ. They will deny them services.

Don't forget to label them as "Bible cartoons and movies."

Up until now, AirBnB was more concerned about upsetting their providers. Now that local governments are starting to crack down, AirBnB now is more worried about staying in business. Especially if they end up on the losing end of multiple privacy lawsuits.

He endorsed RFK Junior.

Also, there have been plenty of people throughout history who lived in "ignorant" cultures who weren't racist, misogynistic, etc.

Being afraid of the unlike is natural. Overcoming that fear, makes you civilized.

That'd be an effective way to cut into the GQP trailer park (on) bloc(ks) voters.

The Russian Black Sea fleet gained another submarine. Good for them.

I understand this. I was underemployed for a while, so I was doing tutoring American English online. Since I was working graves, my schedule meant I ended up with clients from SE Asia, China, Japan.

After a few months, I found better work and didn't need to tutor as much. I cut my availability and was down to 2, then one.

The one I still tutor is a Filipina in nursing school. Most people, when they find that out, go straight to the "I'm a creep/She wants a green card" duality.

I get tired of explaining that she actually qualifies for permanent residency as soon as she gets her work visa. She doesn't need me at all to come to the US to work.

There are plenty of legitimate organizations and agencies that help Filipino nurses get jobs and visas at minimal cost above the required fees.

She has mentioned that she'd prefer to live with me and would be open to a relationship with me, even though I am older...much older.

I leave that last bit out when talking to folks because it makes me sound like a creep. I totally get why people would think that.

On the other hand, an attractive, intelligent, hardworking, and fun younger woman is interested in me? It's a challenge to say no to that.

Opinion: As an American in Avdiivka, what is Congress doing? ( kyivindependent.com )

I am an American military veteran, callsign "Jackie," and I am writing from Donbas Oblast in Ukraine. I am originally from Orange County, California. I served in the U.S. military for eight years, stationed in Colorado, South Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. I also worked as a contractor at

Doing what they do best - nothing of substance in order to gain political points with intentionally ignorant misanthropes.

I know that where I'm at, far too many veterans are on the MAGAt juice and think the US should let Russia take Ukraine and attack NATO.

Hopefully the EU can fill the gap until the US is liberated from MAGAts and Christofascism.

harry_balzac ,

I'm okay with claiming Ukraine as a dependent.

I haven't heard of Aurora before. I'm guessing it's similar to F-Droid? Just extract and install the APK?

Could Taylor Swift tilt Florida blue? It’s Democrats’ wildest dream. ( www.politico.com )

“Florida Democrats don’t know why Taylor Swift is naming an upcoming song on her new album ‘Florida!!!’ or the reason she chose to hold three concerts in Miami less than a month before the November elections,” Politico reports....

I said I'd vote for her as Prez and pretty much all of my coworkers (Trump suckers) nearly had heart attacks.

The bottom of the barrel, especially with conservatives, is like the TARDIS - impossibly larger on the inside than it appears from the outside.

There was but AirBNB et al made it worse. The other piece of it is private equity firms buying up homes and using them for long term rentals.

The YT is factual and informative while the "documentary" is basically QArchaeology

Please don't associate Xitter with the ancient Romans. They never hurt you.

People who seek power and authority will use whatever tools at their disposal. Christianity is a good tool because it is inherently monotheistic (leaving all the Trinitarian nonsense aside), thus making it authoritarian. One God. One mouthpiece. Christianity would have become dominant somewhere else and infected the world.

After reading so much about this, I'm definitely going to start reading up on running a Pihole at home

I'd like to ask for suggestions on FAQs or guides that'd help me get started.

TIA!

harry_balzac ,

I'm going to take a look. Thanks!

I have to use Edge and Bing at work. I've gotten so used to how I have Firefox and DDG set up as my browser and search on my phone and home computer that using Edge & Bing is uncomfortable - the results page is just a cluttered mess. Is the link an ad? A real result?

Why would I think that Bing chat is anything other than a gimmick? There's no incentive to use something that might turn out to be just another way for Microsoft to get more data from me.

"ACAB" doesn't see skin color.

I used Thunder at first but it would crash frequently. Why? I don't know. It'd just stop working. Very frustrating because it is otherwise very good.

Switched to Jerboa after a couple of weeks and it's been great.
