Not anymore, anyway…

Oh, I completely agree. I was just stating how it is here in case that’s not the same in other countries.

I have the factory fog lamps (they’re pretty low) on whenever the low beams are on. I have abysmal night vision and live in a rural area.

Nope; factory-installed fog lights turn off with activation of the high beams in the US. Note that we can buy self-installed aftermarket fog lights and drill holes into the dash for the switch, but even then (in the jurisdictions I’ve lived in) you were supposed to turn them off when using high beams. But nobody does.

Willing to host a small family from the US that absolutely loves your country?

“over 100 people usually run for every position”

Are you out your mind‽‽‽

Around here, and in a LOT of places, there isn’t even a challenger on the ballot!

That is hilariously, maddenly accurate. You win the day!

Doublethink in the purest form

Their budget, like the military, won’t get frozen IIRC. Something about being in the Defense Authorization Act I think.

Since due process is off the table, we’ve determined (without a trial) that you’re not a citizen, and you’re being deported to a country you’ve never been to, where they will imprison you at our request, and they don’t speak any language you do.

Why? Because we’re ICE. Fuck you.

Someone watched “Toy Soldiers” and thought it was a documentary.

Not nearly enough hyperbole in this launch announcement!

"Today, we’re announcing our most ambitious product we’ve ever assembled.

Meet iRock, the most bold design you have experienced to store mass. This innovation from Apple engineers right here in Cupertino, America allows our users to skip across bodies of water, hold open doors, and even be a pet. <drones on for 20 more minutes expound g on the virtues of iRock>.

Next up, iPaper, a revolutionary, breakthrough companion to iRock. It serves as a premium “covering layer” to the iRock user experience, as well as having a vastly superior tactile interface and clean, distraction free design. Of course, creativity and expression is at the very heart of Apple, so iPaper allows customization of the standard crisp, clean and brilliant white. Seriously, look at our stores and our products. Sterile operating room porcelain white is what we prefer. And please don’t touch our products with your dirty, dirty human fingers. Our products are design masterpieces that should be on display in the Lourve, not in your cheeto fingers. Where was I - oh yes - iPaper will change the world with its ability to transform. Now, over to Kevin.

HI, I’m Kevin from Apple’s Transforming Tomorrow’s Reality Today Team (TTRTT for short). We have come up with the greatest new innovation for Apple users yet. Imaging being able to take an object and make it into many smaller objects. Until now, the only way to do that was with a clumsy collection of hard to understand tools from old ways of thinking. At Apple, we only think of new ways to do old things in more complex, expensive ways. And now, with the power of AI built in to every A10 chip, and that chip in every product we sell, everyone can experience increased power usage and data mining. Our latest innovation, iScissors, takes that ability and allows you to integrate more seamlessly than ever before by integrating with iPaper. Thus dynamic powerhouse allows you to unlock your creative potential and _change the world! _

(iScissors not compatible with iRock until v2, eta q3, 2028)

Yeah, why the fuck are we lowering the flag for a goddamned youtuber‽

The rest of that quote is: “but you still never use it to tell time”

I don’t know. With everything that was known about Trump from his entire history, first term, j6, and campaign ‘promises’, you’d think he wouldn’t have been electable, much less actually win. But here we are, with a complicit congress and enabling supreme court (maybe that’s the other way around), and the wholesale destruction of safety nets, regulatory bodies and systems.

You mean cops?

Seems like a somewhat valid use for RICO, moreso that what it’s usually used for…
