Did you even see the earlier Popes? He did everything you say and yet this guy was liberal by every definition compared to the guy he replaced. Benedict was nasty and he knew it.

That would make it a foot measurement, not a shoe size.

Where do you live that they don’t?

The reason Nebula and Dropout work is they are making their own content. Since most anime are sourced from the Manga or Light Novel sources, I don’t see an independent streaming company being able to get the rights and $$ to make animated content to stream. Also, animation is both expensive and takes a long time so any independent platform would need 2-4 of funding after making content to be able to survive long enough to make season 2 of anything.

Sorry, didn’t pay my Netflix cultural tax this year. Maybe I’ll sail the sees for it.

It was almost the entirety of AM radio for the past 40 years. Sports and this right-wing trash. On in the background at every work place, hardware store, and cafe until Muzac took over. Had that ranting asshole and his friends pumping into our ears wanting it or not. Many areas of the country had only that and Country Music for hours in any direction.

When I said “if you knew what you were doing” I meant you can build an AM receiver out of literal trash with a middle school understanding of electrics but no one bothered because you had one built in to every car, every tape player, boom box, alarm clock, and anything else with a speaker. You had a radio in every room of the house and 2 in the garage even if you never turned it on. There’s no way to believe that phones have less cultural push than AM radio had pre-1990.

Rush Limbaugh was broadcast on the free radio, you could listen to it on $1 worth of junk parts if you knew what you were doing. The ease of access is not what made republican bigotry accessible or popular.

They actually swapped which color was representing which party in election years on TV until the 2000 election. The election coverage went on until the almost the end of that year due to contested Presidential Election that went to the Supreme Court but the concept of “red states” and “blue states” was burned into the collective memory so hard they just stayed like that afterwards.

Group homes and supervised living are still a possibility for you. Discuss it with your social worker or even your parole officer. There are still plenty of options for what you are looking for but they aren’t often forced by the courts like what you’re thinking of when you think asylum.

Please also see people who need employees to assist with the touchscreen ordering and self-check. If you want to talk to a person, please use the line for talking to a cashier.

You can either represent yourself or claim you can’t communicate and need assistance. You don’t get to claim to represent yourself and then demand they let you have an AI representative. Just hire a lawyer to represent you, that’s what they are literally there for.

Impedance body fat analysis had a lot of problems, I’ll just get into one:

The measurements, even the palm to feet ones on big machines in medical settings with handles, are based on a known level of how much human skin conducts electric currents. I’m part of a genetic group that I’m missing one of the 5 types of collagen and so my skin conducts electricity differently and the impedance machine gives me the exact same 44% BF reading regardless of my actual weight. My doctor had to tell me that impedance BF measurements will never be accurate for me so I have to have a DEXA or skin fold if I want to know for sure. This would have been fine if I hadn’t already spent years believing those fucking devices that thinking that even though I was losing fat, I must be doing something wrong be the impedance scale didn’t change as they were “scientific”.

They aren’t that accurate for the whole population, and we don’t actually know what percentage of the population they are accurate for because no one has bothered to check.

Mines a 2017 but they didn’t change this over time as far as I understand. GM had a bad problem with the key-in-ignition a few years ago and will likely never use them again.

It’s got a metal key inside the housing that unlocks the doors and the fob sensor is actually inside the armrest so if the battery is dead you place the fob inside a pocket in the armrest and it authenticates your fob with NFC and you drive away. Closest I’ve seen in a modern car anywhere.

The screen is used for the backup camera and the radio. The fan speed and where the air is directed is buttons but the temp and heat/AC status are controlled via the screen.

I don’t think Chevy’s do any of those either.

My Chevy Bolt is all Electric and has a real physical key that has to be in the cabin to drive. No app bullshit. The Bolt is currently out of production but any of the Chevy EV should be the same. Chevy never went full app-dumb and many of the modern convenience features are gates behind OnStar. I have a regular car remote for lock, unlock, and prestart.

I guess I’m too lazy to look up the quote where Plato claims wiring will make us dumb too.

Security theater, just like the TSA. They don’t need to stop bad actors, they just need to convince their shareholders that they are taking action against losses.

Yes, 2000 years ago Christian writers borrowed heavily from the other religions and mystery cults they were living and working with.

Smith’s copypasta use of Masonic Rituals from New York as “passed down by God” in the 1830s is a -little- different.
