I’m in a red state. I’m in a neighborhood with a lot of of retired Republicans. I don’t see a single Trump sign, but there is a growing count of Harris signs, including “Republicans for Harris.” ymmv

I was going to just ask, “Why?!” but I think you summed it up pretty well.

I’ve sort of been forced over to Mac (not that it’s a bad thing, just a thing), and Paint.NET is perhaps my biggest loss in that transition. I’ve loved that program since its early days, and is always one of my first installs on any new Windows installation.

It’s a sad commentary on our society. It isn’t nearly as healthy as I mistakenly thought it was 10 years ago – clearly I overestimated how well things were going. That this many would throw away The Great Experiment just boggles the mind.

I’m a paranoid sort. If I paraded a quarter of the signs, flags, offensive bumper stickers, et. al., of some of my neighbors in my red state, I would just expect that my property would be vandalized, my family threatened, my life endangered. I’m intentionally avoiding showing up on any “lists” that might be composed regarding people from different tribes. It’s not right that this is a problem, but it is reality.

Unless my math is wrong, early September is only roughly 8 months from New Year’s, not 9.

I was thinking more like an Ivy League graduate from a Lawyering the Dark Arts School of Deceptive Loopholes and Twisting, but I see your point.

Edit: added a word

I use this as well. I haven’t had any issues.

I still occasionally watch her episode of The Muppet Show

The Mult will just go back to wearing diapers and carrying rattles at rallies and other events. Because, as they’d tell you, that’s not weird at all. Now, tan suits, don’t get them started.

Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that one.

• Werther’s Original. It’s a candy.

I mentioned the not reading the article so people would not waste their time citing facts from the article that may explain the headline that suggested billions social security numbers were leaked. I made no assumptions about missing addresses, as the headline didn’t mention anything about missing addresses. I even mentioned that the event the article discussed was probably pretty bad – definitely not a negative against the article’s believability. I’m only guilty of judging a book by its cover, and in an existence of limited time, nobody has time to do any more than that except for limited exceptions. I did not choose to make this article an exception. The headline was mathematically deceptive, and my comment was about that. Nothing more.

If you see an article highlighting a breach of social security numbers and don’t assume it’s about the U.S., that’s crazy to me.

I was thinking it is almost its own form of stolen valor, but I’m not a vet, so my opinions remain just that.

Edit: “it” being to denigrate Waltz’s honorable and valued service, in case that wasn’t clear

Like I said, I didn’t read the article, but only Americans would have social security numbers.

It sounds like a bad breach, and I’m not arguing against that. I just want to point out my doubts that there were ever 2.9 billion Americans since the founding of the nation, let alone since social security numbers became a thing. Maybe if I bothered to read the article, it would make more sense.

But totally not stranded… -NASA, probably

Ah, man, Baghdad Bob! I haven’t thought about that guy in a while. He was good entertainment.

I’m not entirely familiar with how contempt of court works. Wouldn’t this be grounds for the bench to issue contempt charges?

Might make a decent SNL sketch.
