In most of the US they have HOA who likely forbid such things for an absurd fear that a slightly uglier house down in your street will tank your property’s value.


I agree about the Democrat party, but I wonder if the regular people of those states aren’t closer to Canadians in their views. If they were to join I imagine the existing party wouldn’t carry over and new ones would need to be organized.


Because the US doesn’t have any opposition parties or any local leadership that can organize anything. Protests in other places are usually organized by unions, for example. In America everyone just sits at their own couch thinking “someone should be doing something by now” and it never crosses their minds that they should be that someone.


In any specific god? no. What I believe is that we don’t know and will never know anything beyond our own existence. We don’t know what we are, in the grand scheme of things (or if there’s a grand scheme at all). We don’t even know if we actually exist.

I just live my life to the best of my abilities and shrug off all that “beyond my existence” stuff as pointless. If I tried to think about it, I don’t believe I would ever come anywhere close to a real answer anyway.


I don’t know anything from the early century but there’s Superstore from 2015 which had a lot of stuff on that level.


First morning at the job he comes in wanting to impress, so he copies some company data to his personal laptop to do extra work at home. He got fired at noon. The official reason was that he had copied that stuff without authorization, but a more likely reason was that someone had accidentally written an extra zero on the offer they made him, because it was several times above average in the area.


I switched my laptop for a desktop a long time ago since I always work from home anyway, but yesterday I had to go the city my company’s office is in and thought: “I can work with the steam deck for one day”. It worked perfectly well.

Today someone asked me if I was really working on a PSP.
