No. That's if he's Arab. Chinese get interned.

Or if China doesn't like them either, "returned to the homeland" where they'll be disappeared forever in one of their, "put them here until trial" black holes where people go in but they don't come out (without the right bribes/political influence).

Yeah! Deliver Big Ben and maybe a few other famous UK monuments to Washington, DC and we'll call it even 👍

Well yes: At this juncture in history conservative speech is hate speech, misinformation (and disinformation), and things like AI-generated images of politicians in situations that never happened.

Actual conservative speech like bitching about the national debt or setting themselves up to get flamed with references to A Modest Proposal aren't getting censored at all.

Some people just don't like swearing.

To those people I say, "What the fuck‽"

In short: They're not. They're basically guessing at this point for anyone under 50.

Not only that but anyone under 50 who they do reach is the type of person who doesn't use an ad blocker. In other words, iPhone users and the ignorant.

In the past he's said it takes him six or seven flushes to get anything down.

Stealing political yard signs? No.

Marking up political yard signs? Yes.

On my way to vote today I saw a trump sign that had "FELON" and "RAPIST" graffitied on it. That's a much clearer message than if there were no sign there.

It was quite respectful, actually... It still very clearly said, "Trump/Vance" it was just given some flair and it wasn't even untrue 👍

Well, they put my Low-Poly Rose Twist Vase in the background so it seems legit 🤷

Subtract the number of scammed people from that total and you'll have your answer 👍

Age discrimination is bad.

Building your own keyboard is supposed to be fun. You do some research to figure out what you want. Maybe order some sample switches to try out, pick out a keycap set you like, and eventually settle on a kit.

When you order your kit it'll include a case, a top plate, and a circuit board. If you get one with hot swap sockets you will not have to solder anything. You can literally just press the switches in.

Then when you're done you screw everything together, put your keycaps on, and you have a working keyboard. Sometimes you have to flash the firmware as a final step but that's not rocket science. You do not have to know how to program.

You don't have to solder if you use hot swap sockets for your switches. Even if you never plan to swap the switches the hot swap sockets mean you'll never have to solder a thing 👍
